Venezuela’s fearless Rosalio Cardinal Castillo Lara has warned that Venezuela faces a bloodbath under dictator Hugo Chavez, and specifically cites the “unfortunate intervention” of former President Jimmy Carter.

It’s about time. Carter has pretended for decades to be this pious man of peace, and feasted off his ‘Nobel laureate’ reputation while doing untold damage to democracies around the world. Because of Carter, North Korea’s monster regime is entrenched, the Iranian ayatollahs are firmly in place, Central America has endured ten years of war, Afghanistan got a communist invasion, the Soviets marched all over the world, and now Venezuela’s democracy has collapsed. This is all Carter’s doing. This guy is no man of peace – he’s a fraud, and an enabler of the world’s worst tyrannies. His hand is always there. That’s HIS idea of peace.

And thank God Venezuela’s Cardinal has called him on it. Carter needs to be singled out. He’s THE anti-democratic revolutionary.

UPDATE: Venezuela’s bishops have come out in force to stand behind the cardinal. Read it here.
