Ground rules will be different here. Well at least in TX and some of our neighbor states.

Funny thing is this: The Cubans and the powers-that-be in Venezuela are feeling a lot like the Democrats these days. We have November to look forward to. With them it’s like a poured beer coming suddenly to a head. To get the maximum overflow(pun intended) we need a President Cruz to stand on his soap box and holler out in Spanish the equivalent of “FOOD FIGHT!.” None of this low key “We stand with the people” stuff. Let the Russians and the Democrats accuse us of interfering in their domestic affairs. Just dare them to get involved militarily. Timing is everything. Remember “Tear down this wall.”

Venezuela is a good practical lesson why we must remain armed to the teeth! [and be willing to use them]

Yep. I just read a history lesson about personal dividing disputes between Texas colonist and Mexico.

Good lessons in that one.

One that is not lost.

Texas likes it’s guns, and WE WILL KEEP THEM!

Where are all the screaming headlines and cable news shows on the "Venezuelan Spring"?

Where are all the coiffed and breathless CNN/NBC/CBS reporters thrusting microphones in student protestor faces breathlessly asking "What do you think about President Obama?"?

Isn't there something missing here?

Marxist presidents of Bolivia, Evo Morales and Rafael Correa of Ecuador, expressed their solidarity with Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro. Is Obama’s silence also an implicit endorsement of Maduro’s brutal repression of those who oppose his illegitimate regimen?
