The Ladies of the View

Ann Coulter: This Is What a Mob Looks Like

Ann Coulter  "I am not the first to note the vast differences between the Wall Street protesters and the tea partiers. To name three: The tea partiers have jobs, showers and a point."....

"The modern tea partiers never went around narcissistically comparing themselves to Gen. George Washington. And yet they are the ones who have engaged in the kind of political activity Washington fought for.
...."The tea partiers didn't arrogantly claim to be drafting a new Declaration of Independence. They're perfectly happy with the original.
"Tea partiers didn't block traffic, sleep on sidewalks, wear ski masks, fight with the police or urinate in public. They read the Constitution, made serious policy arguments, and petitioned the government against Obama's unconstitutional big government policies, especially the stimulus bill and Obamacare.
"Then they picked up their own trash and quietly went home. Apparently, a lot of them had to be at work in the morning."

From Hero-Worship to Celebrity-Adulation

The Weekly Standard  "....It’s the two young Marines in Iraq who made a split-second decision in the last moments of their lives to open fire on a truck hurtling toward the compound where they were standing guard, thereby preventing the bomb-laden vehicle from entering before it blew up and so saving the lives of their sleeping comrades. It’s all those willing to risk their lives to save the lives of others.
"Celebrities may think adulation is their due and that special rules apply to them. On the latter point, they may be right. But real heroes of the kind who risk their lives for others do not demand adulation. On the contrary, they more often than not rush to deny that there is anything special about who they are. They specifically disavow any status of superiority as a result of their heroic deeds."

Postmodern Class Warfare

Victor Davis Hanson   "And when we really do see street violence — looting in Britain or flash-mobbing in America — angry youths usually target high-end electronics stores and fashion outlets, not food markets or bookstores. They organize on social networks from their laptops and cell phones, not from soup kitchens, bread lines or dank basements.
"Class warfare is now not about brutal elemental poverty of the sort Charles Dickens or Knut Hamsun once wrote about. It is too often the anger that arises from not having something that someone else has, whether or not such style, privilege or discretionary choices are all that necessary. Endemic obesity, not malnutrition, threatens America — including the nearly 50 million Americans who are on food stamps."

Occupy Wall Street: America Reaps what Obama has Sown

Occupy Wall Street's Anti-capitalist Crusade  "Regulation, government control and entitlements are the problem and the last thing we need is more of them. We need far less of them if our economies and our nations are to survive. They won't if capitalism is fettered or destroyed and neither will we. What are the demonstrators demonstrating for? It isn't prosperity and freedom that's for sure. If they get their way and capitalism is fettered or destroyed everything and everyone will be much worse off, not better. Capitalism must be freed to do its magic, not hobbled. That will make everything and everyone better off and that is what demonstrators should be demonstrating for. Freeing capitalism.
"Economics, history, sociology, psychology and reality tell us exactly the same."

Welcome, anarchists, to your 'hunk' of fairness for the next generation - the shared sacrifice of poverty.   ..."You occupied a national landmark born of architectural and engineering visionaries, paid for by others. You required removal by police force. Police that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come because you are the pillaging marauding band of anti-Capitalism."

Neal Boortz: Some amazing rhetoric  "Hopefully you realize that capitalism and free enterprise is under attack in America.  The socialists, fascists and communists have always been out there .. but now they think that they have someone in the White House who supports their agenda, so they are emboldened."


Occupy Wall Street Jumps the Shark  ..."George Soros ... threw in his lot with the thousands of Communists, anarchists, eco-feminists, malingerers, and professional protesters who have been baiting and taunting police in lower Manhattan as part of a mass demonstration that began September 17.
"Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) also jumped on the anti-Wall Street bandwagon. In a move that ought to permanently disqualify him as a GOP presidential candidate, Paul gave aid and comfort to the radicals who want to destroy America. “If they were demonstrating peacefully, and making a point, and arguing our case, and drawing attention to the Fed — I would say, good!” Paul said.  (Emphasis added.)
Weasel Zippers: Here Come The Goons: Country’s Largest Unions Join Wall Street Occupiers…"The cavalry has arrived in Lower Manhattan. Representatives from no fewer than 15 of the country’s largest labor unions will join the Occupy Wall Street protesters for a mass rally and march today in New York City."
