THIS is why America has an armed populace

Anyone heard of Ven...Venez...Venezuela? Anyone? Anyone?

Maduro’s socialist policies turned that country into a crime-ridden hell hole, (and eventually turned their capital city into the most violent in the world). Instead of abandoning their centrally planned economy, which would bring prosperity to all and lower the crime rate, Maduro took away everyone’s guns. Now that his socialist policies are bringing Venezuela’s population to brink of starvation and revolution, he decides to arm his violent and dimwitted loyalists. He has set up the perfect conditions for a genocidal purge of everyone who opposes him.

I’d say that this would be a fine lesson for any would-be socialists in this country, but they don’t seem eager to learn. Neither did many Venezuelans, who elected these control freaks nearly two decades ago. They could have looked at any socialist experiment from the 20th century, and realized that it always leads to starvation and mass murder. Instead they let themselves be conned by what is now the oldest and most deadly political trick in the book.

Pesky thing that 2nd Amendment...

One thing I always regret is that...some time ago...the US Government changed its policy to where it no longer carried out assassinations. Though I don't see why they couldn't provide financial and material support to a third-party...perhaps a Venezuelan military official or even a Venezuelan citizen to do the job.

They did vote in Chavez democratically the first time (ole Jimmy Carter helped him steal a later election), just as we voted in Obama.

Mercy from on high, we didn't have a very smart Maduro to continue the legacy in our last election. Luckily, when Hillary figured out she was losing, it was too late to call ole Jimmy.'
