Maybe Marybeth sees something I don’t but it appears to me the “occupiers” are lesser then the antiwar groups of ten years ago, and microscopic compared to the 70s radicals.
I disagree with the author. This group is just like any other group of your protestors looking for a “cause”.
This is just the kool thing to do now. They are followers and the guys figure it might just get them laid by some free love bimbo.
Most of these kids are out of work , or can not find a job because they have a degree in liberal arts, political science, drama, theater or some other useless field of study. If they had gone into petroleum engineering or similar they would have mulitple offers before they even finished school.
The professional anarchists, like the Boston police cleaned out of the park the other night, are a whole different story. These are the extemeists that show up at the G7 summits around the world. They are true ecoterrorists types like “Earth First”. They are dangerous nuts.
It offers a chance for ugly kids to get laid.
I don’t believe I did, but that does not surprise me. They can’t
I use politicians as a teaching tool for my kids.It’s not what you say that counts but what you do. Remember Clinton “I did not have sex “ Honesty and principle I use Romney he has neither.
Sounds like a great idea, if we were only talking about the sheeperals - let them live their dystopia and be the wiser from it when it crashes.
But we’re also dealing with hardcore evil communists who are deceiving the sheeperals and hiding their “wolf” nature.
These types would never let you or I “out from under their thumb” to live in peace, because their ideology requires EVERYONE to be a servant of the communist state.
There can be no “amicable divorce”. There would be War for Independence III. The record so far is 1 win (1776), 1 loss (1863).
Sorry: extremists
spell checker is your FRiend :)
double sorry
“kool” should be cool
maybe I should sue my “skool”
I think that's where we are ultimately headed. The Northeast can go its own way, California who knows, and states wanting to follow The Constitution can join together.
Welcome to Obama's helter shelter
“Civil War II is coming.”
Thank God for the founding fathers and The Second Amendment.
What we are seeing in the cities where "Occupy Wall Street Thugery" is happening, are the great grandkids of the early Progressive thugs pushing the same old bs of evil capitalism.
How big where they in the early 1900's? Their 1912 National Progressive Convention at the Chicago Coliseum is an indicator of their size at that time.
The demands of those early socialists/communists and facists/leaders are the backbone of today's progressives/socialist/communist and elite fascist/leaders.
Fortunately WWI and later WWII put these hate America bastards into near irrelevance. After WWII, they dropped the Progressive label and became democrats.
As I was just discussing on a similar thread, it’s fine and necessary to analyze the Occupy Wall Street movement and what it says about where we’re at and where we’re going as a society.
However, it’s time now to use this ridiculousness to make some important points. That requires boiling our response to the Occupy Wall Streeters down to a couple of saliant points:
1. THEY are the greedy ones.
This needs to be said over and over again. We should quit engaging their particular and wide-ranging demands and just call them out for what they are: PURE GREED.
These cretins call it “greedy” to want to EARN money and then KEEP SOME of it.
Yet they are getting away with demanding what others EARNED and not being called out using the precise word “greedy.”
Let’s change that. No matter what demand they make or what they blather on about our collective chant back at them needs to be “Greedy! Greedy! Greedy!”
2. WE WILL NOT BE THEIR SLAVES.
This is another precise idea that needs to be said over and over again in response to the Occupy Wall Street “demands.”
Clearly, they are demanding that we work to satisfy their wants and needs. That is slavery and we need to call it such.
And we need to call them out as supporting slavery.
And we need to loudly and repeatedly let them know that we refuse to be enslaved by them (and, as the author points out, Socialism in general).
These words, greed and slavery, need to be used against OWS at every turn.
What’s sad is that I had always looked forward to my golden years, knowing that the great bulge of aging hippies who immediately preceded me would have gone off to that great Woodstock in the sky. I thought I would have been living in a decent country again. But it appears the Educrats doubled-down after Reagan.
selfish people do not make good warriors.
The last ten years or so, whenever someone I know or have heard of dies of “old age”, I always think, “They got out in time”. Like a Jew in Germany who died of old age just before Hitler came to power. Not that anybody’s killing people because of their religion, income etc. Yet. Evil is like a dandilion. It takes over the soil, grows bigger and bigger at the cost of the “legitimate” plants around it, finally produces a pretty flower, and then goes quickly to seed.
That describes Nazi Germany and a host of other despotic political systems. Hopefully it doesnt describe what is happening in our western culture today, but those who die just as the flower is blossoming are blessed.
—Fortunately WWI and later WWII put these hate America bastards into near irrelevance. After WWII, they dropped the Progressive label and became democrats.—
I’m wondering if, 50 years from now, someone will be typing, “Fortunately WWI, WWII and, later, WWIII put these hate America bastards into near irrelevance.
They wouldn’t allow a split in 1861 and they won’t allow one now.
They can make good mercenaries.
