USA and Argentina Comparisons
Fox News about a civil war and what is happening in the US and Argentina. Found it interesting.
Have a happy new year!

We’re now one step closer to America’s coming civil war
The New Year has started with a monstrosity of a budget deal, one that proves that neither political party, Democrats or Republicans, is really serious about controlling the growth of big government.
But soap opera dramatics about fiscal “cliffs” and sequestration shouldn’t deflect from where President Obama is really taking this country. Consider this story from the Wall Street Journal a few days before Christmas:
“Thousands of people in several Argentine cities ransacked supermarkets for a second day in the latest challenge to President Chistina Kirchner, who is struggling to revive a weak economy…In the central city Rosario, two people were killed during the incidents and 137 people arrested.
Washington’s Republicans and Democrats alike have become the toll collectors on the road to serfdom
-
“The violence puts Mrs. Kirchner in a difficult position as the poor are [her] core constituents…Her government spends billions of dollars a year to help low income families, including free health care…[Yet] Argentine activists who claim to represent the poor traditionally block access to supermarkets in the month of December to demand free food and other items…The latest events were some of the worst acts of looting and vandalism in years…. Local media showed dozens of men, women, and children hauling away televisions, refrigerators, and food.”
Some have said my warnings about a coming civil war between makers and takers are exaggerated. It’s true that Argentina’s politicians have been waging class warfare since Juan and Eva Peron–and they aren’t fazed when it turns bloody. Obama and the Democrats are relative newcomers to the game. But Argentina reveals who really suffers when those who create a nation’s wealth get mugged by those who spend it–as just happened this week in Washington.
It’s the poor and the middle class, the very ones big government says it’s trying to protect.

The problem in America IMHO is that half the people want the government to feed them, house them and provide every possible need, even what to think. The left is more than willing to accept and even push any opposition under the bus. The other half just wants the government to leave them alone to live in life in peace. The first group has been pushing this agenda forever and the second group is getting to the point of pushing back. Some will push back very hard. It’s in their DNA.
The liberal strategy appears to be creating FUD, panic and disarming the public seems to be reaching some new zenith. It’s interesting to watch. Even some in the liberal press are calling for the execution of gun rights people. It certainly does show their character and intent and nothing is ever said about robbery, assault and murder attempts foiled by armed citizens. This very much appears intentional.
I would guess that more than half of all gun owners in conservative states will ignore any major shift in gun law. Some percentage are saying “bring it on”. Gun control ultimately is about political control and not gun possession, but “who” it is that has the guns. It was Mao that said “every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”. Tyrants of every age have meant it to be them that have the guns and nobody else. It is no different here in the US, Argentina or anywhere else.
It appears that Dear Leader Obama is treading the same path that Kristina did in Argentina.
