Who Still Buys Gas From Citgo?

I was sitting at a red ligh the other day in Houston (yes it’s true, I didn’t run it 
) and watched a Citgo station across the street. People were pulling in there and filling up like it was the last place on Earth.
My, my, what short memory we have. I’m sure most people could care less that Citgo is a subsidary of the Venezuelan state owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. Which means that Venezuela President Chavez controls their purse strings.
Why should this bother me or any other American?
Let’s see…I dunno….the only good reason I could think of is because the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, would like nothing more than to see the United States become ashes. I’m sorry, but for me, that is the only reason I need to never visit another Citgo station.
7-11, the convenience store chain, had enough sense to break it’s ties with Citgo, why is it hard for other independent stations and consumers to break their ties?
Some 7-11’s were so concerned that they posted the following sign on their pumps.
That’s how you get their attention!
Hugo Chavez has made it no secret that he’d like to help Anti-American terrorist destroy the United States, this includes the street you live on and the street I live on. Why would anyone help support such an enemy?
A day after 9-11, Chavez stated
The United States brought the attacks upon itself, for their arrogant imperialist foreign policy.”
He further went on to call our efforts to find Bin-Ladin as “terrorism”.
Before Saddam was stretched from the Gallows, Chavez referred to the dictator as a “friend and business partner”. Personally, I’d like to see the Chavez/Hussein partnership continue. I think it’s only fair to Saddam that Chavez receive the same treatment as his “friend and business partner”.
In late 2002, Chavez’s personal pilot defected to the West. Unders sworn testimony, the defector stated that Chavez helped transfer more than one million dollars to Bin-Ladin. Hugo has never hidden his hate for the United States.
In Feburary of 2003, a Venezulean Muslim named Hasil Mohammed Rahaham-Alan was caught at London’s airport with a grenade in his luggage. The British Mail reported that al Qaeda operates a training camp on the Venezuelan island of Margarita. The Venezuelan Ambasador obtained a “legal stop” that prevented the British Mail from further comments on this subject.
Chavez has ties to Columbian socialist and guerilla groups. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Roy Chaderton has stated unequivocally that the Chavez government will not refer to the FARC Colombian terrorists as “terrorists.”
There are even those amoung our own Government (mostly Democrats but a few Republicans as well) who bow down to this dictator.
I’m sorry, what the hell am I missing? The same people who will boycott any store at a drop of a hat because someone got their feelings hurt or some real or imagined wrong was done to a person, think nothing about whipping into a Citgo because they’re 2 cents cheaper than the store on the other corner.
Last fall I was driving through Southern Oklahoma when my “Low Fuel” light came on. I went through one small town that had a Citgo as it’s only gas station. I kept traveling until I came to another town about 12 miles later that had a Citgo and a Chevron in it. The Chevron looked like a little Mom & Pop operation while the Citgo was a Mega Mart type store.
My fuel needle was on “E” and I wasn’t sure the Chevron was open. I thought I’d be walking another 1o miles or so because I sure as heck wasn’t stopping at the Citgo for fuel. I’d rather walk than buy gas from a dictator who is hell bent on destroying my country and family.
So all you who shop at Citgo, don’t bitch and whine when the next terrorist strike hits our country. If you lose friends or family, I don’t want to hear your trap on the nightly news waling about how good they were. Go look into a mirror and thank yourself for supporting a country and dictator who helped kill innocent Americans. And if you do lose family and friends, you can also thank yourself for helping Chavez and his merry band of terrorist while you’re looking back at yourself in the mirror.
