Is this our preview of things to come if Obama loses?

It could very well come to pass whether he wins ... or loses. The urban masses do not blame Obama for their poverty. They see him as their benefactor. If he loses, they will fear the loss of their perks. If he wins, they see it as a signal to take more.

Urban riots are an old story in Europe. Among the first welfare states was the Kingdom of Naples, where every form of what we know as welfare was institutionalized. But, quartered among the citizens were light cavalry, infantry, and light artillery regiments who were called forth to sweep the streets whenever the food or wine allowance (don't laugh ..welfare bozos in France, Italy, and Argentina still get one!)got cut. The riots were bloody, but brief!

The major difference, as Bracken points out, is going to be that it would be extremely foolish for us to think that the government will automatically take the side of those who would wish to remain peaceful
