I’ve made a fairly earnest effort to understand ANY point the OWS folks are trying to make. One of the oldest rules of warfare is “Know Your Enemy” after all. Simply pointing and laughing, although fun, is a dangerous tactic once the numbers reach a sort of critical mass. A herd made up of a couple of hundred clowns can trample you if they stampede.<\/p>\n
It’s rather obvious that one faction is using The Saul Alinsky Playbook<\/a>, and some others are anarchists. However, the vast majority are simply useful idiots. Although I’m loathe to cite WND for anything more than Chuck Norris articles there IS a good precis on that subject by Ellis Washington over there.<\/a><\/p>\n One analogy might be a gay man supporting the Islamists Arab Spring movement.<\/p>\n But… I’m thinking martyrdom, or cannon fodder. NB, I am NOT using hyperbole when I suggest that the leaders of OWS will be seeking REAL violence. Something well beyond Kent State, in fact.<\/p>\n So I’ve come to pity most of the OWS crowd.<\/p>\n ETA: Perhaps I’ve communicated poorly? By saying “well beyond Kent State” I’m referring to a major earthquake. Think martial law type stuff. One governor has already joked(?) about calling off elections. YMMV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
