Thoughts on the OCCUPY WALL STREET folks

by guest blogger Andrew Roman

_______________________

The parallels between the Tea Party demonstrations and the Occupy Wall Street rallies are glaring.

To begin with, they both occurred on American soil.

Second, someone was wearing a blue shirt.

I could go on all day.

It’s obvious – painfully obvious – that these low-life, do-nothing, unproductive, incoherent, unkempt, screeching, jealous, whiny retro-Woodstock hairballs not only have no idea what the hell they're protesting, they have absolutely no sense of civility or decency ... or soap.

And exactly how do these moral crusaders attempt to give their own unsatisfying existences some semblance of meaning and purpose? By disrupting the lives of those who are productive members of society, of course. 

Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

These tragically uninformed knee-jerk, hippie-wanna-bes, craving relevance, fantasizing about the golden age of war protests, bed-ins and hairy armpits have set up shop on the streets of New York for what seems like forever. 

And now, it's spreading: Angry, entitled, spoiled-brat indoctrinated neo-nuts and their socially-conscious anarchist brethren indulging their narcissistic impulses under the guise of humanitarianism. In Sacramento, they don't even really know why they're there. Organizer Anthony Bondi says they're still trying to come up with a reason for being there.

No, really.

In Tampa, protesters didn't even bother to set-up camp overnight. They simply went home after a hard day of bitching. They must not get HBO in the park. But they have promised to return ... perhaps after a nice hot shower and satisfying breakfast.

Back here in New York, these dynamos have stayed. Growing sanitation concerns aside, they're definitely making their mark.

It's clear that they are the only people in the entire universe who really matter; just ask them. For all of their concern about their fellow man, how many have bothered to lift a ladle in a soup kitchen, or volunteer at an old folks home, or go to a VA hospital, or work at a food bank. How many have bothered to temporarily walk away from his or her occupation of Wall Street to actually care for a fellow human being in need? Instead, these self-proclaimed arbiters of societal cognizance and true awareness have slept in public parks, littered the streets, agonized over how to acquire sleeping bags without having to reward some capitalist pig, upset the lives of others, and cost God-knows-how-much money to the public.

How’s that’s for compassion for one’s fellow man?

These people have failed to acknowledge that there are, indeed, other human beings in this world besides themselves - that their wants (i.e., demands) are precisely what they are supposedly protesting against: getting stuff at the expense of others. Rush Limbaugh accurately points out that in asking for donations from those who actually succeed and make money, these leeches are having to rely on the very system they are crying out against so that they can continue to protest that same system. Meanwhile, they've spewed vulgarities and bellowed and belly-ached liked spoiled-brat children.  

Best of all, some of them have been fortunate enough - nay, privileged enough - to attain the highest level of social consciousness: They’ve gotten themselves arrested. These jailbirds now have a story to tell their out-of-wedlock grandchildren in the years to come. 

“Now, gather 'round while grandpa tells you about the time we taught those money-grubbin’ fat cats a lesson. Come and sit down right here ... but don’t get too close. I’m combing out my ponytail.”

These people not only come across as the dumbest bunch of lint-brains ever to bitch and moan about nothing, they now have the support of American big labor.

Gee, what a surprise.

Thugs and scum, joined at the hip.

All they need is an official government endorsement.

Oh wait ….None other than the Fed Chief himself, Ben Bernanke, has come along to say that he really can't blame the protestors, that they have some justification.

There you go.

I’m sure someone in Congress is currently drafting a bill calling for a national holiday commemorating the American protestor.

And what exactly is the justification in the minds (used loosely) of these empty-skulled, rag-tag, deodorant-deprived dregs of the entitlement-culture for making life inconvenient for everyone else by sleeping in the park, groaning about corporate-this and big-business-that, using profanity, harassing passers-by, and flashing vulgar signs?

These brick-for-brains coddled momma-boys and daddy's princesses - reminiscent of the mostly upper middle class, directionless hoodlums who raised hell during England’s riots not too long ago - have their bumper-sticker rhymes all memorized, their moronic, university-inspired disjointed theories about corporate America and big business all subject to instant recall, and their pre-adolescent, intellectually challenged set of “demands” all worked out.

They're comical, if not thoroughly unintelligible. (I'll get to a couple of those in a moment).

If only Joan Baez would show up.

They consider themselves heroic. They long to be history-makers, remembered in story and song like their campus thumping predecessors of the 1960s, talked fondly of on VH1 retrospectives, imagining there’s no heaven or countries or possessions. They are the apple of Michael Moore’s eye (who, incidentally, has yet to return any of his ill-gotten corporate profits), the love of Susan Sarandon’s heart (who was whisked away to her private jet after making a seventeen second appearance the other day), and the new easily-manipulated tools of big labor.

These gutter skunks are disgusting parasites concerned only with what they can get out of others.

And now that the likes of the AFL-CIO and the UAW are suddenly on board with the brain-dead unwashed, one wonders if these squawking bottom-feeders, who openly express their hatred for the entities of power that rape and crush the common folk, realize that there are no more powerful entities in American life than the modern labor unions, none more controlling.

Remember, unions can put pressure on (i.e., intimidate) the common man like no one else can. They can make life miserable for folks who do not comply, and they can keep people from being able to make a living. There is no democracy in a union. And shame on you if you fail to grasp that there are plenty of "fat cats" at the top of the union chain, living off the dues of others. 

Surely, these well-versed beacons of wisdom and knowledge understand that, no?

By contrast, no one on Wall Street – not a corporation, a CEO, a president, a chairman of the board or even a lowly salesperson – can force you to do or buy anything. Corporations cannot come to your home and take away your rights, or demand dues just to be able to work.

These protestors are the ultimate “blame everyone else for my failures” lobbyists. They suffer life’s indignities and hardships (or more accurately, they believe they suffer), but instead of attempting to lift themselves up, they prefer to see everyone around them brought down.

It's so much easier to moan than try.

It’s the way of the left.

And they feel entitled … simply for breathing.

Remember Madison, Wisconsin?

That entire affair was nothing more than a case of public employees demanding that their fellow citizens shut up and agree to have more money siphoned from their paychecks.

With the unions now dipping their toes into this Occupy Wall Street pool, one can only imagine how heralded these protests will become in the eyes on the lame-stream media.

As expected, no one at the alphabet channels has the guts to even do a rudimentary analysis of their so-called demands. The fact that they’re protesting and using words like “corporate greed,” and “justice” automatically gives these leeches a degree of credibility never ever afforded the Tea Party movement, who actually have a constitutional basis for the grievances, not an emotionally contrived one.

Man, these people are tremendously confused. It’s almost comical.

Yes, they want Obama re-elected, but wasn’t it Wall Street that poured tons of green into Obama’s presidential campaign?

Huh?

They talk about a new American Revolution, carrying the torch passed on to them by the Founding Fathers, but they denounce Capitalism and free markets.

What?

They want higher tariffs on imported goods from other nations, but demand dissolution of the borders. If such a thing were to happen, there wouldn't be any nations, right? 

Do these people think or just react?

(rhetorical)

What the hell are these hyper-pierced, uncombed masses of derangement talking about?

Down with corporations, they scream.

Aren’t corporations made up of people? Food-consuming, shelter-seeking, child-raising, clothes-wearing people?

Who makes the cardboard they use for their signs?

Or the ink used to paint their catchy slogans?

Or the Yoo Hoo cans they urinate in?

I assume they cannot accepting donations because to do so means they would have to participate in the Capitalist system they so abhor. They must be rummaging through garbage cans for plastic water bottles and scooping curb water from the streets to sustain themselves.

Are they hand-knitting toilets as well?
