MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia agreed on Friday to build Venezuela's first nuclear power station after talks between Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Hugo Chavez in the Kremlin. Russian nuclear agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro signed a deal on "the construction and use of an atomic power station on the territory of Venezuela," after the talks. Chavez, who rules South America's biggest oil producer, has said he wants the nuclear power station to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Medvedev hinted that Chavez's foe, the United States, might not like the deal, but said that it was peaceful. "A deal in the atomic sphere has just been signed. I already know that it will make someone shudder. The president (of Venezuela) told me that there will states who will have different types of emotions about this," Medvedev said. "I would like to underline that our intentions are clean and open: we want our partner the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to have the full range of energy choices, to have energy independence," he said.

Liberals are pro nuclear proliferation.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Citation please. Prove it with something to back up your assertion. I live in a very liberal city that is full of people who like me are against nuclear weapons and nuclear power. I and many others criticized the closer to the middle politically President Obama for courting disaster by inviting more oil drilling off shore before the big blow out in the Gulf of Mexico, and we don't like his views on nuclear power. As far as weapons go however, he has clearly stated his desire to see a world without nuclear weapons; something many including myself want very much to happen. And Sand, you do realize I hope that nuclear proliferation is a term used to describe the spread of nuclear weapons, not power plant, I would hope.
Liberals are now pro nuclear proliferation and in support of fundamentalist religions that are against homosexuality.
