I dont recall reading anywhere in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution that it is our task to tell other people in the world how they should live. When they attack us thats one thing, but this whole notion that it’s America’s god-given responsibility to export our "values" seems like something some liberal would dream up.

The National Endowment for Democracy (very conservative organization) is attempting to oust Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
Human rights and democracy is just a cover story for imperialists who want to absorb the wealth of the world for themselves. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool…
