For them to compare themselves to our soldiers at Valley Forge is beyond the pale. I cannot tell you how angry I am.

I saw this coming from week one. And the willing dupes of the MSM will cover them as if they are at Valley Forge. The occupiers will be portrayed like Ghandis and Mother Theresas, “standing up to greedy corporate bosses,” etc etc ad nauseum.
The script for this was written long ago. As a novelist, I can tell you the next chapters. I wrote all about them in my novels, especially my third novel. I didn't have to be particularly prescient, I just had to look at the last 20 times this play has run.
This is an old, old screenplay, and all the players are in place. The wounded ex-Marine is their new martyr. Etc. Hand me a barf bag, we have seen it all before. Maybe John Kerry will come out and show them how to throw medals over a fence.

More like the Napoleon invading Russia moment. He went in with half a million and came back out with tens of thousands left alive.

I don’t remember seeing pot, bongos and iPods in the historical paintings of Valley Forge. I do remember seeing patriots dressed in rags whose skin was cracked and bleeding because of how cold it was. And they didn’t have mommies and daddies to run home to when it got too bad.

So who's fault will it be when one of these kids dies of exposure?One can only hope, but if one of the little scum does succumb to the angel of death, I'll take the blame because God will have answered one of my prayers.
I don't think God will grant that kind of a mean spirited prayer, but why not try?

Somehow I don’t think these little pot smoking college kids are going to fare too well in the freezing rain and snow. I give it 48 hours before they all head home to Mom and Dad’s basement.

They won’t. The tents will be empty at night, the professional protestors staying at area hotels, courtesy of the 200K+ slush fund they are running from internet donations.

They're already doing that in London.
The thermal images that prove 90% of tents in the Occupy camp in London are left EMPTY overnight

Valley Forge? ROTFL!
I predict “Occupy Wall Street” will go the way of the “Poor People’s March” of 1968 and the “Great Peace March” of 1986. Both of these protests were heavily promoted by the loons on the Left and got a lot of media coverage, yet they quickly fizzled out when the weather turned wet.

When OWS freeloaders start eating their shoes because they are starving, sleeping in snow and ice with only the clothes on their backs and marching hours with bloody feet in the snow and ice in sub-freezing temps to fight for liberty’s cause THEN and only THEN will I be impressed.
Until then.... they shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as our revolutionary soldiers.

Those at Valley Forge were heroes. They SACRIFICED everything to bring about a Country based on FAITH FREEDOM and LIBERTY. The riff raff in the parks have NOTHING in common with those at Valley Forge. In fact they mostly would destroy what the Valley Forgers brought about...........
