CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that members of the country's civilian militia should be issued weapons to be armed and ready at all times.

The Bolivarian Militia is a force of volunteers ranging from students to retirees formed in recent years by Chavez, who says it is a crucial component of the nation's defenses.

Funny, you can almost find yourself agreeing with his statements, but you have to realize his "militia" is his Sturmabteilung.

Still, this has to be the hand of God at work here. When weapons start proliferating, they can just as easily be used against Chavez and his Communist cronies.

He’s pushing civil war. What a leader/S

Mr. Obama’s Sturmabteilung will be the Civilian National Defense Forces that he referenced during the election. Here’s why it won’t fly here:

scary but awesome

Yeah, he doesn't want armed civilians that aren't loyal to him alone.

"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

James Madison.

Notice Madison simply said 'Americans' with no distinctions made for class, military, or political persuasion.

Chavez wants his brown shirts.Soon the killings and dissappearances will begin.

[SampleMan]

The only value to an armed militia is when the militia determines the membership.

Chavez isn’t talking about a militia, he’s talking about his own brown shirts.

I don’t believe obama’s civilian defense force is intended to be anything more than another acorn like organization that will funnel more tax dollars to the pockets of community organizers.

[dalebert]

same as Obama

[2ndDivisionVet]

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Does that sound like "community organizing" to you?

[Postman]

his “militia” is his Sturmabteilung.

More like the Tonton Macoutes but really all the same vicious thugs...

[Soothesayer]

Obama’s financial/community organizer army is designed specifically to destroy US citizens. The Democrats realize they can’t use guns against us but they can easily take our money and future ability to purchase arms.

The worst part is that we can do absolutely nothing to stop them. Even if we get a GOP majority, these organizations will just move underground.

[mamelukesabre]

Actually, yes. Because I don’t believe a word he says.

[mamelukesabre]

agree. I believe obama’s security force will simply be a means for obama to dish out monetary rewards to those who pledge allegiance to him. The “security” and “militia” part of it I believe will be a joke.

Obozo’s security force will never come into reality. The 1000 lb gorilla has awoken:
