You Always Hurt the One You Love
Topic: Liberal Fascism

 

As if to demonstrate just how out of touch it really is, the Occupy Wall Street movement has embarked upon a campaign of economic disruption. On the West Coast, OWS has forced the closure of a number of ports, supposedly to prevent those wicked One Percenters from reaping their illicit profits.

 

In reality, of course, the people who are really being hurt by our American Communards are ordinary working stiffs: truck drivers, dock workers, small business owners, i.e. the Ninety-Nine Percenters. And some of those folks were far from happy about the situation:

 

[T]ruck drivers who had to wait in long lines as protesters blocked gates, were angry, saying the demonstrators were harming the very people they were trying to help.

 

“This is joke. What are they protesting?” said Christian Vega, who sat in his truck carrying a load of recycled paper. He said the delay was costing him $600. “It only hurts me and the other drivers.

 

“We have jobs and families to support and feed,” he said. “Most of them don’t.”

 

Watching silly people play at revolution can be an amusing pastime, but let us not forget that these idiots are capable of doing real harm to real people.
