It's always refreshing to see the truth about Cuba and Venezuela in the U.S. media. We've had our share of great "health care" stories about Cuba or movie stars embracing Hugo Chvez.

Let's thankIoan Grillo for pulling the curtain and exposing the truth about Venezuela:

In Venezuela the food lines are only the most visible evidence of a nation in free fall. Known aslas colas, the lines form before dawn and last until nightfall, several bodies thick and zigzagging for miles in leafy middle-class neighborhoods and ragged slums alike. In a country that sits atop the world's largest known petroleum reserves, hungry citizens wait on their assigned day for whatever the stores might stock: with luck, corn flour to make arepas, and on a really good day, shampoo.

"I never dreamed it would come to this," says Yajaira Gutierrez, a 41-year-old accountant, waiting her turn in downtown Caracas."That in Venezuela, with all our petroleum, we would be struggling to get corn cakes."

This is insane and makes you want to scream. It is a such a shock for those of us who knew pre-Chvez Venezuela. As I recall, it was a nation with a large middle class who loved life, talking baseball and beauty pageants. Yes, in Venezuela, they love their baseball players and all of those beautiful women who appear in the Miss Universe pageants.

For Cubans like my parents, as well as those of us who grew up here, it is like watching a horrible movie remake.

The article talks about "las colas," or the lines outside stores to buy the basic items. Or the people who cross the Colombia border to buy anything for their families. Or the repressive nature of the state. It is Cuba all over again!

President Trump has a great opportunity to put the U.S. on the side of the Venezuela people, especially all of those marchers calling for change.

I'm not talking about a military invasion. I am talking about an invasion of "ideas" and "messages" that change must come and that the U.S. does not stand with the corrupt dictatorship. It may be just what the opposition needs to bring down the Maduro regime.

In the meantime, share this article with the next clown that you see wearing a Che T-shirt.

There is an adagerestated many times and by many authorsthat you can tell more about a persons character by how he treats his social inferiors than by how he treats those equal to or above him. A middle-manager who abuses the office janitor shows a character defect. The adage holds this abuse reveals more about the managers character than if the manager is nice to other managers and to his or her supervisors.

A direct political analogue is how groups conduct themselves in rallies and public demonstrations. Do they act peacefully and clean up after themselves, or do they riot and leave a mess for public-sanitation workers? Although there may be many individual differences within any group, the adage suggests far better character, on average, among the former cohort.

A few years ago, Tea Party groups protested widely against the federal governments overspending and overregulation. These protests could be vigorous and overwrought, but almost invariably the participants acted peacefully and cleaned up after themselves. I asked Mark Meckler, one of the movements most prominent leaders, what he and other organizers did to ensure individuals did not leave a mess for others to deal with. Here is what he reported:

The Tea Party movement was largely self-policing, which was the most amazing part, said Meckler. Im sure that good, neighborly behavior was encouraged, but the reality is that this is just how folks on the right generally behave. We believe in the rule of law. We believe in the right to peaceably assemble. We believe in private property rights. And we believe in the Golden Rule. Were we angry? Sure, we wereand frankly, we still are. But we were civil, non-destructive, and certainly never criminal. These are hallmarks of conservative protests and are the exact opposite of what one sees on the left.

Meckler is certainly correct about what one sees on the left. The mess created by progressive rallies and demonstrations has become legendary. The Occupy movement left tons of litter for hapless sanitation workers to clean up after their 2011 protests. More recently, the Womens March did the same. The Black Lives Matter movement has been even worse, adding riots and looting to their mounds of trash.

It is fair to conclude the behavioral contrast tells us something about the character of the participants in these movements, but does the contrast also reflect on their arguments? Strictly speaking, to reject an argument because of the identity of the arguer is the classic ad hominem fallacy. The identity of the person making a claim does not, by itself, prove or disprove the correctness of the claim.

Yet everyone recognizes that the identity of the arguer can be one legitimate consideration for judging an argument. We recognize this officially in our campaign disclosure laws; a principal justification for those laws is the identity, interest, and character of those funding a campaign reflect on the campaigns merits. The identity, interests, and character of a candidates supporters tell us something about the candidate.

You can carry this too far, of course, but all things being equal, would you rather have a person in a position of power who appeals to decent, conscientious peopleor one who panders to rioters and metaphorical pigs?

Thus, the stark difference between the conduct of conservative and left-wing protests reflects on the merits of what they say. That difference is also a reason the facile equivalencies some draw between the Tea Party movement and protests on the left are highly offensive.

It is common to say, Good people can differ. This is absolutely true, but it does not follow that because they differ they are all good.
