Bolivian lapdog Evo Morales took one on the chin on Friday when the residents of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, stood up to his Stalinist type military takeover of the local international airport. In an impressive show, over 7,000 regular residents heeded the call of their governor, stormed the airport, and chased off the troops which had taken it over the day before on orders from Morales. It appears the troops were sent in by Morales when the local airport officials refused to be strong-armed by the socialist leader who demanded the airport pay his leftist government the fees they were collecting from the airlines.
The Santa Cruz region and its governor are ardent opponents of Morales’ communist ideals and have fought his socialist reforms every step of the way. Being the region richest in resources in Bolivia, Santa Cruz is an obvious target for communist pilferage.
I think it is a great and inspiring sight to see the Bolivians in Santa Cruz standing up for liberty and justice.

I like how the mayor of Santa Cruz referred to chazez as a “macaco mayor,” “dictadorzuelo” “golpista,” and “sinverguenza con beleidades de libertador” while the crowd chants “Hijo de Cuba!” Obviously what they mean is hijo de castro, which doesn’t rhyme well with what they really mean.
I wonder if a macaco is a male macaca.
Santa Cruz was always going to be hold out in the former cocaine workers union’s rise to absolute power. Of course, the NY Times, Miami Herald et al has to call it a mob; not unlike the Nov 2000

God, I hope they do better than Venezuelans have, though Morales is in a far weaker position than Chavez.
