The myth of the "stupid soldier" has been bandied about since the Vietnam War, but each year the myth gets farther from the truth. Our soldiers have gotten smarter and better educated, while our "spontaneous demonstrators" have gotten increasingly ignorant. Almost any military person today can tell you what he's fighting for, including the word "honor." These Occupiers can't give you a coherent reason for their demonstrations, and honor is certainly not in their lexicon.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-38366710921900322852011-10-10T09:50:49.865-04:002011-10-10T09:50:49.865-04:00Don't you find some irony in that, since most ...Don't you find some irony in that, since most of those idiots are of the mind that our military troops are the ones who don't know what they've signed up for?tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-39154638604661382422011-10-10T02:41:32.489-04:002011-10-10T02:41:32.489-04:00T-Rav: How can that be?

But nevertheless, the phony cries of police brutality and denial of civil rights will be flowing freely very soon. The courts and the liberal fuzzy-headed judges will soon be issuing all kinds of weird orders, written largely by the ACLU. Overloading the system to cause its collapse is part of the Piven-Cloward/Alinsky plan.

But we must remember that most of these know-nothings have been brought up by parents who don't advise and schools which vigorously oppose Judeo-Christian beliefs and culture.<br /><br />These ignorati would largely embrace socialism, if they had a clue what socialism is. They want what they want when they want it. It's as primitive as that. Socialists at least have to think about how society works, even if they're wrong on all counts.<br /><br />These people are just kindergarteners in adult disguise. Me, me, me. No thought for the best interests of society. No thought to how wealth is created, let alone how they benefit from it. No thoughts about how the future will unfold and how one ought to plan for it. No concept of how adults are expected to work for what they get rather than wait for a bankrupt government to hand it to them. Calling them socialists quite frankly gives them too much credit.<br /><br />Although I agree that individualism and creativity blossomed during the Renaissance, our Founders were far more influenced by the Enlightenment. The thinkers of the Enlightenment applauded the accomplishments of the Renaissance, but added the concept of ordered liberty and equal justice under law. Only a people free to succeed within established rules of civilized society could reach its ultimate fulfillment. Our Founders took that concept on step farther, and wrote a Constitution which protected those rules of civilized society while at the same time limiting the government's ability to interfere with individual accomplishment. <br /><br />The Occupiers have accomplished nothing of serious note in their lives, and they want to be rewarded for their indolence. They want all debt forgiven, which is both a violation of the constitutional right to contract and a guarantee that what is left of our economy will collapse. Somebody forgot to tell them that there's no such thing as a free lunch.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-53410100954812518402011-10-09T23:04:17.447-04:002011-10-09T23:04:17.447-04:00Hawk

Those men understood that it is desirable that men and women should be free to expand their own individual gifts and desires.<br />If memory serves me correctly this thinking was first developed most completely during the Renaissance. From that sprouting seed of thought it grew and expanded till it has become what we see today as Western civilization. The direction of social development has been one of allowing the individual to be free from the ties that bound him to the restrictions in a feudal system.<br />If these miss educated and non thinking followers were to get what they are claiming to want I would be willing to wage that upon receiving it they would be most unhappy.<br />The old adage of be careful what you pray for because you might get it surely fits here.<br />With the continued efforts of Commentarama and it's commentators hopefully the concept of the founding fathers will spread.Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-46580916711301577632011-10-09T21:06:18.759-04:002011-10-09T21:06:18.759-04:00Bev: I think you have the right medical diagnosis...Bev: I think you have the right medical diagnosis.

They ignore the sorry physical and mental state of their hired zombies and mindless sycophants, call rioting "peaceful demonstration," and praise carefully-planned demonstrations as "spontaneous."<br /><br />Pelosi not only doesn't get it, but she just told news reporters, again, about the Tea Party supporters spitting on members of Congress during the health care debates.
