So I hear that our old buddy Joe Biden, in a stunning moment of lucidity Thursday, woke up from his coma and compared the Occupy Wall Street
protests to the Tea Party protests, proving that he understands neither. The
left is so desperate to have a Tea Party movement of their own, that they will
tie themselves to just about anything these days. Our old buddy Van Jones (remember him? The communist Green Jobs Czar) even gave a speech on the subject the other day. I
think the left will live to regret that alliance.
In spite of the media’s collusion in this misinformation campaign
about the #occupy wall street crowd and their similarity to the Tea Party, the American
people are getting wise to these games.
And the dirty smelly hippies on Wall Street are not helping the cause at
all. As with most mobs, anarchy reigns
supreme with that bunch and lawlessness ensues.
I have been to several Tea Party protests myself and have yet to see anyone
arrested, or any defecating on a police car, or defacing of public property, or smelled any overwhelming body odor.
Perhaps we should explore just exactly what motivates these
two groups and who the members really are if we really care to compare them.
(which of course the NBC nightly news prefers not to do)
In a past post I discussed what makes up a Tea Party Patriot. In it I stated “The folks that
believe in the constitution, in fiscal responsibility, in common sense foreign
policy and that our elected officials should actually honor their oaths of
office.” “They are your Grandmas and
Grandpas, your Vietnam veteran uncle, your church going Mom and Dad, your
cousin who just got back from a tour in Afghanistan and your preacher. They are the history teacher you always
liked, the owner of the corner market, and the guy who owns the gas station
down the road. They are the farmer, the
local pediatrician and the nurse that works in his office. They are the firefighter, the policeman and
the ambulance driver. In short they are
America. And they represent everything
that made America what it is today. They
are the folks that make this country and this economic engine work. They are not, as MSNBC or CNN would have you
believe “Astroturf” bought and paid for by greedy capitalists to throw the
proverbial monkey wrench into the gears of “Hope and Change”. They are not as NBC, ABC and CBS claim, white
hood wearing fanatics who oppose Barack Obama because of their seething racism.
They are patriots, that believe in
American exceptionalism, the rule of law and that they are blessed to have been
born or immigrated to the greatest country in the history of the world.”
Now let’s examine what makes up the average #occupy wall
street protestor.
Average age about 25.
With a very strong sense of entitlement, they went to school (mostly on
the taxpayers dime since tuition only makes up about 10% of most college
revenue) and got a degree in minority women’s studies and can’t figure out why
in the world nobody wants to pay them a six figure salary for that kind of
background. Mom and Dad have given them
everything except an understanding of where all that money came from and what
it takes to acquire it. They can’t tell
you what it really takes to create a job, (much like most of the democrats on
capital hill) but can give you a dissertation on corporate greed and blood
diamonds. They have never held a job of
any kind and would be happy to continue that trend for the rest of their days
blaming all their woes on Wall Street and demanding that they be paid to sit on
their keester for the rest of their lives and occasionally come out to berate
the folks that pay for it all and tell us how evil we are. They expect the 10% of the cost of their
education that they financed be paid by us along with 90% we already did. They seem to be some type of feline I deduce
based on their obvious aversion to soap and water. And they have zero respect for authority, experience,
the rule of law, religion or their elders.
In short they are spoiled brats that should have gotten more ass
beatings than time outs during their formative years. In a way I feel sorry for them because
someday the reality of life is going to slap them up aside the head and they
will of course be the first to perish.
But I guess that kinda proves one part of Darwin’s theory.
The best advice I can give to these wayward dipwads is to listen to GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain.
Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself! It's not a person's fault because they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed. And so this is why I don't understand these demonstrations and what it is that they are looking for."
Hear hear!!
ReplyDeleteFor better understanding of the *real* TEA Party, see this well-written piece from August 2009 by John Hayward, aka "Doctor Zero":

That piece had its logical sequel in February 2010:

No other writer has come closer to the essence of the modern grass-roots conservative movement, and most assuredly not with equal eloquence...
