More On The Useless….Er….Useful Idiots
Another Lost Generation of Americans
by J. D. Longstreet
Actually, they’re not lost geographically. We see them every day on the cable news channels and the evening news of the broadcast networks. This decade they call themselves the “Occupy Wall Street” Group. I believe they are lost, unrecoverable, as productive, patriotic, Americans. I’m no shrink, but I believe they will carry a degree of bitterness, for the reminder of their lives, as a result of America’s rejection of their attempt to force a socialist form of government on a nation of people who love freedom. The risk was theirs to take. History will record their failure — a failure they will never be able to put behind them. They will drag it like an anchor throughout their lifetime. They have made their choice and they now must live with the consequences.
These people have been around since Vladimir Lenin. They are espousing the socialist/communist line and they are SOOOOO DUMB they don’t have a clue they are being used by the shadowy figures organizing and financing their infantile protestations.
Those dirty, smelly, boorish, idiots are disposable tools of the leftist power brokers, themselves the mortal enemies of capitalists and democracy.
They are supported by the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Nazi Party, the Democratic Party …… . We should add the labor unions to this OUTSTANDING gaggle of anti-capitalist left-wingers.
They don’t know WHAT the want – but they want it NOW. It is the primal cry of an infant seeking attention.
If you are expecting anything good to come of the rent-a-riot crowd in our streets these days, you should reconsider. This whole “OWS” movement is going to end in disaster. This ain’t my first rodeo. I have seen this before. It always ends in tragedy.
As the shrillness of the demonstrators mounts, the public’s tolerance level will fall. At some point in the future, a tipping point will be reached and blood will be spilt and lives lost. It is the nature of clashes between groups of human beings. We call them wars, civil wars, insurrections, riots, Demonstrations, and at their inception – “protests.”
Read the rest of the commentary here.
I remember the “demonstrations” of the 60s and early 70s. Let’s face it, I was born during Eisenhower’s first term, so spring chicken I ain’t.
I knew people who joined in the protests, and some who got arrested. I knew young men who died in Vietnam. I knew some who came back, but were never the same. I never spat on a soldier, or demeaned their service, voluntary or drafted. I also understood that anger that gave rise to the anti-war demonstrations. Occasionally, I even agreed, mostly because I knew that Johnson totally screwed the whole thing up, and Nixon finished with our defeat. Many of those were out in the streets, didn’t have a clue, but they were there anyway because they hated the ‘establishment’, and wanted to destroy the American way of life.
That being said, I also understand some of the anger now being demonstrated with the OWS. Most though, are just as clueless as those who marched in the 60s and 70s. Some will call them ‘useful idiots’. I call them totally USELESS idiots. It’s quite apparent that a great number of those wanna be hippies have NO idea how the system works. They apparently have not done enough of their homework. REAL homework, and not just what the socialist professors have drummed into their brains of mush.
Here an immigrant confronts a couple of useless idiots:
Che didn’t kill? Here’s another useless idiot. He ought to chat with the woman in the above video, perhaps?
Babalu’
From The Volokh Conspiracy:
1. Che was responsible for the execution of thousands of political prisoners in Cuba (most of them purely for their opposition to Castro’s communist policies or for no reason at all).
2. Che enjoyed torturing and abusing the prisoners, including children.
3. Che was instrumental in setting up the Castro regime’s massive forced labor camps and secret police apparatus.
4. Che tried to organize campaigns of terrorism against civilians in the US and elsewhere (though he largely failed in these efforts).
5. Far from being merely a Third World nationalist or pragmatic leftist, he was a committed, hard-line Stalinist, even going so far as to call himself “Stalin II” early in his career.
I thought the lefties were all about saving the chilrrrruuuns! Yet, one of their heroes enjoyed torturing the little ones, along with everyone else. Uh huh. So, who is it exactly that is supporting these useless idiots?

Peaceful? I don’t really think so! And I’ve no doubt, it’s going to get even worse.
Invest in precious metals….lead….we might just need it to preserve our Republic.
It being Haloween and all, the news had a video of a ‘Zombie’ march in Portland,Oregon.
The ‘zombies’ looked a lot like a bunch of OWS’ers!!!!!!!!
Heh. Truly, there isn’t much difference.
