Malnourished children who faint in class. Children who, in the worst cases, die from hunger, their bodies nothing but skin and bones, the outlines of their ribs visible.

Images like those have become common in Venezuela, where critical food shortages are pushing hundreds of thousands of children under a blanket of misery and hunger more often seen in the poorest countries in Africa.

/src on/Another socialist country with a string of bad weather events./src off/ Venezuela joins the list of socialist countries that have starved its citizens: Soviet Union, China, and North Korea.

Ooops I forget about Ethiopia.

[hal ogen]

Have the people there become aware that this is what they wanted by supporting socialist asshats? If not, their suffering is merely beginning. Tough luck.

——Images like those——

there were no images in the article

How come Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Michael Moore are no longer visiting Venezuela? It is inherently understood why Moore won’t visit, but what about Penn and Glover?

But socialism is so good FOR THE CHILDREN...

Good climate for gardening. They'll be gardening for the man soon enough though. Wonder how much of the production from the government garden will be theirs? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3454866/posts

Only one image from the page but also a "humanitarian" video with images of hungry women and children/babies.

Where OBummer was taking America, all of the DemoCrap Party with all the Socialists & Communists, mustn’t leave out the Greenies and wealthy Academics, along with all the millennials, were taking the U.S.

Another socialist paradise going to seed. It’s as predictable as the sun rising in the east.

Why did you paste the above into your excerpt? It's unnecessary, distracting, and a waste of bandwidth.

Uggo Chavez’ daughter has about $4 billion in the bank. She could easily afford to buy them food.

As Obama said, “ Elections have consequences.”

These poor, hungry people not long ago were members of roving gangs of Chavistas armed with baseball bates and steel pipe who beat up anyone who dared to oppose Hugo Chavez and Maduro and who acted as enforcers and bag men in the rigged elections that kept Chavez in power.

Now Venezuela does not even have the resources to print money

"...It is inherently understood why Moore won’t visit...."

LMAO. You would be putting your life in danger to get between Moore and his hamburger(s).

The international joys of socialism.

Things get any more desperate and those kids are going to end up on the menu. Cannibalism has been known to happen in such instances.

This is the true face of socialism.

And soon enough, they will be eating the children. Leftists always end up consuming the children.

Hillary, I will vote for you if you/Timmy will go to Venezula and see if your ideas can fix that hellhole. If you can fix it by November, I'll tell my parents to vote for you...

Deal?
