I’ve studied the Occupy Washington protests and admittedly can’t come up with a focused theme that the occupiers are trying to push. Sure, they’re upset that life has been hard on them. Sure, they’re upset that things didn’t go their way. Sure, they think life’s unfair. Sure they think it’s not their fault. Sure, they think that it’s somebody’s else’s fault. Sure, they want somebody else to fix their problems. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, SURE, THEY’RE TOTAL WIMPS-SISSIES-FAILURES-IMMATURES-PATHETICS-LOSERS! What they aren’t are Tea Partiers. The Tea Partiers, I went to one Tea Party Rally, simply ask for less government and more freedom. The Tea Partiers asked for the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail, no government needed.
But these dregs sitting, defecating, acting like morons, aren’t asking for freedom. They’re asking for more government. In effect, asking for more of the problem to fix the problem; entirely pathetic and stupid. Yet, this is where our nation has arrived, to the town called Patheticville.
So let’s get the point of Patheticville. Here goes. The United States was built on protest. It’s called the Revolution. The American Revolutionaries fought for freedom and limited government. They passed a bill of rights and then even threw in an enabling clause that said if it aint in there, the government doesn’t have the authority to do it. I.E. There is no authority in the Constitution for the government to take your tax dollars and fund a study on the effects of alcohol on Chinese Hookers. (You really paid for this study) Yet, in Patheticville, the un-American, un-manly dregs operating under the title Occupy Wall Street, are protesting that there isn’t enough government. If you can get any mantra out of these barnacles, you’ll get this: They want the government to take from those who produce and give to those who don’t which the government already does, but in Patheticville, they want it different and more. So much for property rights. If you’ve got some, big brother should take it and give it to someone who has less. Here’s another word for what they want: Communism. How pathetic.
The true American stands on his own two feet. He doesn’t blame. He doesn’t make excuses. He doesn’t deny responsibility. He realizes that life can be unfair, but he gets to work and doesn’t complain, so long as he has freedom. He cherishes freedom, and he relates to the founding fathers, many of them rich, who risked their lives and fortunes for freedom. The Occupy Wall Street sludge are not true Americans. Their very wants are contrary to our very fundamentals. They need to be condemned as useless, vile, spoiled, faux intellectual, stupid, scum. They need to be starved out. How? Here’s how, two “hows” actually. One, move their protest to Pennsylvania Avenue, right in front of the White House. Two, ignore them. They are nothing. Indifference will starve them.
We need to be Americans, and just like our founding fathers, we need to confront those against Americanism. Now I am not suggesting an armed revolution. I am suggesting an un-armed revolution. We as Americans can revolt through words and conduct. We can cleanse our lives of those who want to destroy American principles. It may be a friend. It may be an employee. It may be a child. Cut them off is my advice. Let them know that in the Christian spirit you love them, but also in the Christian spirit, you will not enable them, you will not endorse their self destructive, self-hating, stupid, behavior. It is time to stand up and be men. (I am not a sexist. A women can very easily be manly in the classic sense and I will concede, I know more women that act like men than men.)
So America, can we once again defeat history? Can we, when faced with the traditional tip of the next domino, a rich free nation gets fat and happy, and then goes liberal, and then goes way liberal, and then fails, can we beat this historical sequence? The answer is YES WE CAN. We did it before with the American Revolution. We can do it again, not with guns, but with the joy, opportunity, and triumph of freedom.
YES WE CAN! (O.K. Obama got one thing right. He came up with a good slogan. Repeat; One thing.)
That’s my Reetzality for the day.
Thanks for the read.
