Venezuela's Breakaway City Of San Cristobal
Parapundit ^

Posted on 03/22/2014 4:23:12 PM PDT by ClaytonP

700,000 have effectively seceded from the corrupt, socialistic, and repressive government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The rebels are working on defensive perimeters to keep out the National Guard. Meanwhile, back in Caracas Maduro is getting an upper hand on the opposition.

Maduro is trying to pacify San Cristobal by sending goods to its supermarkets that were rarely there before the rebellion.

Students want their deaths at the hands of thugs to have meaning for a big cause:

“We prefer to die in an army attack than for an iPhone in an armed robbery outside our homes.”

Hey Mexican readers, you know who you are. Still want to defend Maduro's government? Venezuela's government has become severely messed up by its government.

Signs of things to come in many places around the world including here.

Can you imagine our own college oriented towns and cities having their students say things like this? I guess they finally reached their own breaking points or perhaps their own ‘point of no return’?

Maduro may be found dangling from a lamppost by year’s end.

Maybe they got tired of Venezuela's chronic toilet paper shortage.

Radical Socialism sounds good in propaganda, but it always, ALWAYS, leads to eventual starvation, chaos, and death.

How many more millions will have to die before the fantasy of Marx and Engels finally goes away?

Funny how Venezuela isn’t making headlines in the MSM.

Because the MSM are full of commie loving libtards.

For some people that could definitely be a ‘point of no return’!

As if there wasn’t enough evidence of communism’s massive failures already.

Or having the army force its way into your home to confiscate your incandescent light bulbs and replace them with toxic CFLs. Something the left would *dearly* like to do here.

No. No, they never will.

American college brats are one of the Left's three most reliable voting blocks. They will never turn on The Won because it's hip and cool to worship him, and besides, they couldn't get laid by the hippie chicks if they didn't.

That, and if they didn't, they'd be RAAAAACIST!

Wait until they run out of condoms and toilet paper. Then they won’t get laid by the ‘chicks’. Perhaps that’s their own breaking point? ;)
