I think his choice of salutes is appropriate

Hmm. Sounds like an original idea. Wonder how this will play out. If only there was some historic reference we could see how this has gone in the past four other countries.

Love the armband. Never seen that before......

Venezuela has some problems, probably due to the Jews though

socialists/collectivists always default to genocide

The crime has been bad for a long time in Venezuela, but lately it's off the charts: kidnappings for ransom, robberies, rapes, you name it. Maduro has to be seen as doing something, and writing ridiculous laws is what lawmakers do, after all. It doesn't mean he has some grand plan for confiscation followed by ethnic cleansing.

The one constant in his government has always been utter ineptitude, and I have no reason to believe he could pull off confiscation any better. It'll just be another way his cronies grease their palms, granting licenses and exceptions the same way they do for folks smuggling toilet paper.

Gun ownership may be a necessary condition for a polite society but in no way is it a sufficient condition. Look at the most dangerous city in the world, San Pedro de Sula: gun culture is prevalent, open and concealed carry are common, and it hasn't made Honduras a better place.

Then again, who knows how bad it would have been in Honduras if legal ownership had been banned.

Genocide seems to be the next step to disarming the population . . . On the verge of being a natural law!!!

Just like what will Happen in the U.S.A. before we realize it.

Too bad at least this didn't catch on here

I wonder if his disarmament plan includes the FARC, or is that off the table for the moment.

I apologize for entering a three-paragraph, carefully researched discussion into your thread of not-so-clever one-liners. I'd hate to make anybody think before tapping out a few keystrokes.

?? Did you maybe post in the wrong thread? I don't see where anyone did anything offensive to you.

All normal under a leftist government, but now they have new concerns that's going to kill their economy. Oil is crashing and 70% of the countries income is from the sale of oil. Good thing our borders are open so all the criminals can come up here to get away from the dictator.

Forgive us for not bowing down to your long winded brilliance. We all feel so graced with your input.

Sure brings out the alinskiites doesn't it lol.
Now in full glory worshiping the SAmerican dictators and spinning pretend webs on 594. Funny to observe.

Next thing to look for is a visit there by John Kerry. UN ATT goes into effect 12/24/14.

I so enjoy these countries with their petty, corrupt dictatorships chastising the US in the UN. I say cut aid to any country south of the Rio Grande in the Western Hemisphere. Get your own houses in order South American countries.
