by AWR Hawkins The novelty of the #OccupyWallStreet movement is long gone for most Americans. Although it began ostensibly as a revolt against corrupt Wall Street bankers, the drugs, the sex, the defecation in the streets, and the intentional destruction of property associated with it have long since wiped that lie away. When we look at the occupiers now, we see 1960s retreads. We see Bill Ayers in his youth. We see the community Obama has organized. And we are disgusted.
In short, the occupy movement is now typified by the kinds of things we’ve seen with the occupiers in Santa Cruz, CA, where “county workers and others have documented drug and alcohol use, public urination, littering, bathing in public restrooms, fights and more.” Moreover, in Santa Cruz, the occupiers left so much human feces on the ground that a Hazmat team had to be called in over the weekend to clean up 200 pounds of human waste.
And while the Hazmat team was cleaning up the filth in Santa Cruz, Newt Gingrich was at a “Thanksgiving Table” forum in Iowa doing the same thing:
Let me describe Occupy Wall Street. All the occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything. They take over a public park they didn’t pay for, to go nearby to use bathrooms they didn’t pay for, to beg for food from places that they don’t want to pay for. [All] to obstruct those who going to work to pay the taxes to sustain the bathrooms and to sustain the park, so they can self-righteously exclaim that they are the paragons of virtue to which we owe everything.This hits the nail right on the head—they want to live free of charge, period. (Newt’s words were given even greater veracity today when occupiers announced their pledge to NOT pay back their student loans and restated their demands for “free public colleges, no-interest loans, greater transparency at private and for-profit colleges and complete forgiveness of all existing student debt.”)
And when we don’t give them the free stuff they demand, they pee themselves and defecate in the grass to teach us a lesson.
No wonder Newt finished with a flurry in Iowa:
[This] is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country, and why you need to re-assert something as simple as saying to them, “Go get a job right after you take a bath.”Big Government
