Occupy Wall Street?


For more than a month people have been "occupying Wall Street" to protest the actions of, well, I really doubt they know what they are there for. This has expanded and now there are "occupy" protests going on all over the country and even taking place in many other nations around the world. Right after the "occupy Sacramento" protests started, one protester was asked why they were there and he stated basically that he didn't know why they were there but they would work on the reason and get back to the questioner.

I believe that these protests are nothing but a group of people looking for more handouts. Some protesters in New York stated plainly that they wanted banks to forgive all debt. (How do they expect that to work?) Others have stated that they believe college education, food, housing, even luxuries should be free.

Some of theses protests have turned into little more than a new version of Wood Stock with sex and drugs running rampant. Now that includes theft. Yesterday it was reported that the Wall Street protesters are being plagued with thieves among their own ranks. Cameras, cell phones, laptops and other expensive items have turned up missing. This is not surprising if you notice that many of them are looking for free stuff anyway.

The bottom line is that these protesters are nothing more than a group of anarchists, morons, malcontents and fools who would rather make trouble and be useful idiots than do something worthwhile and be productive members of society. These people believe in socialism, redistribution of wealth and using strong arm tactics to get what they believe they are entitled to, whether they have earned it or not. There is every possibility that these protests will turn violent and end up becoming riots. They claim that they are peaceful, but after nearly 700 arrests in one day a few weeks ago, peaceful is the last thing on their minds.

Do not be fooled by certain media outlets that claim these protesters represent the majority of Americans or that they honorable and brave for standing up to Wall Street. Less than 1000 slackers is nothing but a group of fringe cooks.
