Topic: Liberal Fascism
Well, if any doubt remained that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are a clot of fatuous idiots, this closes the case: Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
It’s the idiots’ manifesto, oh-so-cleverly patterned on the American Declaration of Independence. Reading it, you can practically smell the reek of dirty socks moldering under the bed in some college dorm room. The Declaration is loaded with gems of cluelessness, such as: “They [evil corporations] have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.” OK, check the box for PETA. (And incidentally, “profited off of the torture”? Shouldn’t that be “profited from the torture”? I’m just saying.)
And how about this? “They [evil corporations again] have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.” Who knew that we all have the right to a free B.A. in interpretive dance or eco-feminism?
But here’s my favorite: “They [yes, those evil corporations] have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.” Ah, colonialism, that hardy perennial of the hard Left! But I ask you, how can there be “colonialism at home”? Isn’t that something of a contradiction in terms? Perhaps it was a nod to the agenda of Native American activists. The authors of this comic masterpiece certainly bent the knee to every other piety of the radical fringe.
Nonsense on stilts? That goes without saying. Still, Occupy Wall Street has served a useful purpose. Look at the way in which the mainstream media, establishment liberals, Big Labor, etc. are slobbering all over these morons. It shows you just how far the progressive establishment has fallen in the Age of Barry.
