The John Kass website had a perceptive piece by David Bittinger.
Without using the word picture of United States citizens being like the frog in the pot of water being boiled, he advances analogies of how socialism leads to communism.
Think Venezuela, for example.
Bittinger writes,
“Only 25 years ago, with its huge oil reserves and a functional private sector, it had the second strongest economy in the Western Hemisphere. Then Socialist Hugo Chávez demagogued his way to power by promising Venezuelans ‘economic justice.’
From the Washington Examiner story on Pennysvania:
“America’s Bernie Sanders leftists cheered him on, even as desperate Venezuelans resorted to eating pets. Soon enough Chávez’s Socialists were ruling a ruined country, which today is cleverly exporting its expanded criminal population to America.”
