Courage & Grace: Former Miss Universe Snubs Chavez; Waves Free Venezuela Flag On Her Final Walk

Courage and Grace –
The former Miss Universe, Stefania Fernandez, waved the free Venezuela flag in a sign of distress during her final catwalk at the Saturday pageant. The Chavez flag has 8 stars.
Godspeed, Stefania Fernandez.
Investor’s Business Daily reported:
Quick, what’s the murder capital of the world: Kabul? Juarez? Try Caracas, Venezuela, a city whose dictator, Hugo Chavez, has made murder a means of extending his control.
The silent protest at Monday night’s Miss Universe Pageant in Las Vegas was invisible to nearly everyone — except Venezuelans. On her final catwalk, the ranking Miss Universe, Stefania Fernandez, suddenly whipped out a Venezuelan flag in a patriotic but protocol-breaking gesture.
Fernandez waved her flag for the same reason Americans waved theirs after 9/11 — to convey resolution amid distress. Her flag had seven stars, significant because Chavez had arbitrarily added an eighth, making any use of a difficult-to-find seven-star banner an act of defiance.
Fernandez’s countrymen went wild with joy on bulletin boards and Facebook, showing just how worried they are about their country. Their greatest fear is violent crime.
Power Line notes that the previous Miss Universe was also from Venezuela and was also openly anti-Chavez.

“She’s a mama grizzly”
LOL! Yes she is! Kudos to the Queen!

Faustas Blog has several links on her Monday posting to other articles on Venezuela including links to pictures of the morgues with bodies stacked up on the floors and tables.
Chavez in the meantime is looking for life size pictures of Sean Penn dressed in drag for his bedroom.
Kenny Solomon commented:
Ms. Fernandez now needs 24/7 armed security, completely trustworthy……. No matter where she is on the planet.
Definitely can’t go back to her home nation anymore as long as Chavez and his people are still breathing.
God, please protect her. Half her countrymates wish her harm. The other half are becoming beyond powerless to help.

It takes a beauty pageant queen to stand up to this thug?
God bless her. Now SHE should get US citizenship.
Today.

God bless her. A freedom fighter.

Lord that is a women with backbone. hopefully she is in the company of those who will cover her six. I would hope she could or would stay here, but the outlook here is circling the drain.
Mike O commented:
I doubt the young lady would have ANY problem at all finding protection; I doubt there’s a single male Marine in the world who wouldn’t volunteer for the job
I shame that a country with such stunningly lovely women who have such a thug running it.

A moment of reality in the plastic fantasy pageant world. Good for her!
There are real problems out there, while whiney spoiled brat Americans manufacture theirs.
Marsh commented:
The infuriating thing is is that Chavez is widely regarded on the left as a hero. That should give you an idea of why so many people leave the left like I did. There’s WAY too many weird *ss anti-American Marxist nutjobs on the left. Don’t even trust the left for crap. You have no idea where their loyalties are or just how warped their brain is.
Gman commented:
What does she know anyway. Not like she lives there like Sean Penn and Danny Glover.
RaeMarie commented:
There will always be those who will stand up to tyranny and fight for freedom, in any way they can. This single act that seems so miniscule to us means everything to the people living in tyrrany in Venezuela. God bless this brave woman!
