What will the "change" promised by Barack Obama look like? The answer is already out there, in Argentina. The article, "
From Breadbasket to Basket Case," explains.
One has only to look south to discover what happens in a country when the politicians erode property rights, increase the power of the central government and interfere with the economy. All, by the way, are pretty much what Barack Obama's populism promises to do to you when it brings the threatened "change" to America.
Argentina is now a true democracy. Whatever the majority wants, goes. The minority no longer has any rights or protections in Argentina. Should they object to the seizure of their property or their means of livelihood or their lifestyle is deemed "offensive" to the state, the government will step in with their jack booted thugs and take and make happen what the majority says it wants.
America has not yet achieved the status of a "true" democracy ... yet. The writing though, is on the wall, as people shriek "democracy" in a one-time Republic, with no grasp or understanding of the horrors of democracy.
One should have no illusions, this is the change promised by Barack Obama with a Democratic Congress. It essentially means, that once complete, we will become no better than another Argentina, or Burma, or Zimbabwe.
The American dream of individual liberty and freedom and property rights will be extinguished under the mantle of "change." Free men, will no longer cry only for Argentina, but for the only remaining hope that existed, at least until America gave up.
Who could have predicted that that "man's great experiment in governance" would end by philosophical suicide? Who would have believed that the threat came not from some outside alien force or nation-state, but from within?
