They Want, We Pay
Topic: Decline of the West

 

The mainstream media and the progressive establishment have huffed and puffed with desperate energy in an attempt to make the Occupy Wall Street circus into a serious, high-minded protest movement—you know, like the Revolution of 1848 or the Prague Spring. OWS was to be progressivism’s counterblast against the hatred Tea Party.

 

Then along comes this guy to throw up all over the script: OWS Protester Wants College Paid for Because That Is What He Wants

 

There he stood, holding a sign that read: “Throw Me a Bone. Pay My Tuition.” When asked by the interviewer why someone else should pay his tuition, this courageous revolutionary replied in words with which his unfortunate parents are no doubt familiar: “Because that’s what I want.”

 

Exactly. There you have the OWS credo in a nutshell.
