What we have here are the biggest, baddest public temper tantrums we’ve seen since 1960s spoiled-brat college kids reverted to the terrible twos and marched, rioted, burned, and bombed their way across America.

So far at least, the violence at “Occupy” tantrums hasn’t reached ’60s-level, though there have been thefts, assaults, rapes, and lots – and lots and lots – of incendiary hate speech.

Old ’60s radicals, now in charge of “mainstream” news, are all “wee-weed up” — to use President Eloquent’s expression — by the OWS tantrums. This new generation’s display of wasted minds gives the aging-hippie brigade a moment to relive their own misspent youth. These “news” people haven’t had this much thrill going up their legs since Barack Obama hip-hopped his way to the presidency on the wings of ‘60s radical hope-dope.

#5: Cooties can kill me and disagreeable words will crush my spirit.

#4: Sharing germs, having sex with strangers and imbibing mind-altering drugs won’t hurt me one bit.

#3: Free love makes the world go ‘round. Tra, la, la and Kumbayah.

#2: The world does too owe me a living!

#1: Yes, we can have our cake and eat it too!

By crackey.... This makes me feel young again. Let me put my hippie headband on my bald pate.

#6) Instead of admiring the rich for their success and being motivated to work hard to be like them, I envy and resent them and want to destroy them

Great line. I am going to use that.

Let’s call the OWS squatters “Sixties Reenactors.”

Perfect!
Many are in their 60s, too.
