I am hearing stories once again about a turn of events in Argentine poltics. That there were conservative gains in the last election but they will not take effect until March, 2010, and in the meantine the present group of socialists (Hugo Chavists) in power are trying their best to destroy the agricultural community with higher taxes and more stringent regulation. As if the present drought situation is not bad enough. If the farmers fail, hunting fails with it, as does the economy...they are so closely tied together.

And that firearms regulation and control is back on the plate including the requirement of a mental exam to get a firearms permit.

I find this disturbing. I also find it hard to understand how a country so beautiful and rich in resources can be brought to the ground by power players in Buenos Aires with the consent and duplicity of representatives nation wide.

But perhaps that is not so hard to understand after all. We now have the same thing happening here with the Washington leftist establishment trying hard to destroy what has taken a few hundred years to build. Can you believe that this Kenyan imposter we now call the President had the gall to say to religous groups that his government is a partner with G-d in what he is trying to do? This is what we face here. A bastard son of a bitch who equates himself and his regime with G-d!!!!

I keep hoping the future for Argentina will be brighter than what I fear, and that sanity will return here.

G-d bless the United States and Argentina.

Bill: the requirement of a mental exam for getting a firearms permit is in force since some years ago. Of course is pure nonsense, another of the many ways of stealing the citizens´ money the governments concocted.

I want to hunt Argentina someday and I certainly hope the conservatives can bring back some reason to the country. It's just too beautiful of a country to let a bunch of city liberals destroy it.

Since you mentioned Barry and the cult surrounding him - I moved my daughter to the DC area last week. We rode the subway one day. The one day pass ticket has his picture on it. I almost puked at the vending machine. It's August - give us all a rest from the 24/7 worship!

It never ceases to astonish me, how a country populated by Europeans are unable to get their act together and abandon these socialist dreams. What an incredible waste of natural resources and European manpower.

I think we all mis-identified our enemy -- at one time is was the Fascists and the NAZIs, then the Communists, and the reality of it is, whether they call themselves Fascist, or Socialist or Progressive, or NAZI, it's all different flavors of Statism, and Cults of Personality, and %*^( "special people"... and I don't know if there's one damned politician left who isn't convinced he's %*^( special... And as many of the SOBs as I've run across, about the only thing special about them is their desperate need for a long drop and a short rope...

Sometimes I think part of the problem is too many countries are just too dang big. I don't really want to be in the same country as NYFC, LA, DC, and SF -- I don't go to those places voluntarily, and I don't care to hear their opinions about how I'm supposed to live my life in TX or SC...

That describes a few countries besides Argentina, doesn't it..
