The Vulgar Curmudgeon:
Maduro is arming his supporters to protect himself as that country circles the drain towards getting torn apart because of his corruption.
This is exactly why we have the 2nd Amendment you fools.
Venezuela’s Maduro to provide guns to 400,000 loyalists amid peaking tension
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he will expand the number of civilians involved in armed militias, providing guns to as many as 400,000 loyalists.The announcement came as Maduro’s opponents are gearing up for what they pledge will be the largest rally yet to press for elections and a host of other demands Wednesday.
Sounds like California.
This won’t end well.

That Jefferson quote is the difference between Venezuela and California. Berkley proved that on Saturday.
There is no way to de-insanitize the left. They must be lobotomized.

My first comment was cynical.
Now an optimist would say; Be patient, these Marxist followers of Madura are headed out in the forest of Venezuela to hunt wild game to feed the masses.
@Jethro;
But, but…. the media says they were all short haired, white supremacists and Nazis.
I’m so confused ! /s
I agree ! There are many in Venezuela who are in the streets and in prison who cherish freedom. God speed.
Bless you Jimmy the Bunny Slayer. Without your help this would have all been stopped years ago.
@Jethro (at 8:30 pm): That quote, although frequently attributed to Ben Franklin, is just as frequently contested, since it is found in none of his writings, and especially since the word “lunch” is not known to have appeared anywhere in English literature until the 1820s, decades after his death. A more likely (modified) source follows:
In 1992, Marvin Simkin wrote in the Los Angeles Times, “Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.”
Anti-gun fanatics aren’t fools in this regard. Not at all!
This is exactly what they want. Defenseless opposition while they have all the guns.
Not a glitch – it’s a feature. A feature they are aiming for.
Hugo Chavez is burning in hell and Barry Soetoro still has his autographed book as a study guide.

@ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ – Right now I’m re-reading Nuge’s book…Ted, White, and Blue. 10 yrs old, couldv’e been written yesterday.
What a man and patriot.
All that ammunition bought by federal agencies a couple years ago. Wasted.
The Californian that know how to shoot will NOT be on the side of those commie bastards either!
Look! They’re all wearing brown shirts. I wonder where they got the idea from?
If you ever wondered what happens when the socialists run out of other peoples’ money to spend, just look at Venezuela right now.
EXACTLY why we have that amendment!
And thanks for reinforcing one more reason why I come to your site!

Jethro nailed it.
True Story: A famous European leftist economist/ political scientist went to Venezuela during the height of Chavez’s reign of terror so he could study the Socialist Paradise that was Venezuela. But he quickly realized that the branch of Socialism that Chavez and Maduro were following was National Socialism (Nazism). So he quietly published his study, calling Venezuela’s system “Socialistic Nationalism” and made sure it got buried.
