I usually start most mornings by checking out Salon.This is the beginning of my daily acid trip through the liberal media.Salon offers a good barometer of what bug is up the left's behind on any given day.
Understandably,they have devoted a lot of page space to the Occupy squatters and freeloaders movement.I give Salon credit for very good coverage,especially if your looking for a bevy of idiotic quotes from the freeloaders.This story today does not disappoint.
Gary Kamiya,one of the head honchos at Salon,offers this man on the street report about the Occupy San Francisco folks,"The students are coming".In this piece he discusses how a gang of college students,somewhere between 500 to a thousand,marched in the streets protesting the cost of school.He followed along the march talking to people who were protesting.Kamiya begins with this;
"From the Free Speech Movement to SDS and the anti-Vietnam War protests, many of the most important American protest movements have historically been spearheaded by students."So,I am supposed to believe SDS is one of the most important American protest movements? A group whose one time leader was,an anti-American,Marxist agitator and terrorist,Bill Ayers.The rank hypocrisy from liberals never ceases to amaze.These folks blow a gasket over a citizen's right to possess firearms,yet one of their biggest heroes is a scum bag who bombed police stations among many other things.
Mr.Kamiya reports the students are hacked off because of government budget cuts to the University of California system.He gets into many of the details of this issue,including raising corporate taxes,the rich and a federal tax on all Wall Street transactions.
He forgets that California,the most populous state in America,is effectively bankrupt due to liberal spending.A state that business is running from like the plague and hemorrhaging jobs due to heavy regulation and taxation.Aww,who cares? We want more free stuff !
Gary then bumps into a young lady protesting,he writes;
"Sabine Gueltzow, 28, was another Cal student, a junior majoring in psychology. She was from East Germany, had a green card, and her tuition was paid for by a special Blue and Gold scholarship, but “I have to go to work to support myself; I’m barely scraping by,” she said."Just what this country needs,another lefty psychologist.Do any of these young folks study real science anymore? Say engineering or something actually useful.Ms.Gueltzow has her tuition paid for by scholarship and she has the gaul to grouse about having to work to support herself? If she does not work,who does she expect to support her? Oh,right,you and I.
"I'm barely scraping by." Does she have any clue how many Americans can honestly make that statement? People who are not protesting in the street,but actually going to work. This young lady has no clue as to how good she has it,but apparently it is not good enough. (The story notes she works as a nanny.I suspect more like a babysitter,now that's real tough labor.Perhaps she should look for a real job and stop taking work from 13 year old girls.)
Then,she offers this true gem of a statement;
“I come from East Germany, which at least tried to ensure more social equality,” she said. “Obviously it was deeply flawed in the execution. But the idea was right."Obviously deeply flawed,but the idea was right? A brutal,Communist,police state that repressed all forms of free speech and was the world's largest prison camp.I understand this young woman was probably around seven when the East German state went bankrupt,but surely she must know that if she would have protested like this in the former Communist nation it would have bought her a one way ticket to a gulag.
A little observation,the Marxist economic model that bankrupted East Germany is the same model followed by Democrats today.I doubt this woman could make the mental connection between this and why California is bankrupt.I doubt she is making many mental connections about anything.
Ms.Gueltzow goes on to babble some lefty nonsense about the Bank of America,billionaire CEOs and says the state's Board of Regents should work with the students as to how the university system should allocate it's budget,which is absurd.She ends with saying,"Ultimately,we’re the future." I guess there is not much to look forward to.Lefty Kamiya then adds this;
"At once inspired and humiliated by having my country’s flaws accurately criticized by someone from East Germany,I found an older woman holding a sign."Humiliated? I am humiliated by the fact you are humiliated.I guess this leftist would like it if California was more like the old East Germany.Oh wait.It is like the old East Germany,bankrupt.
Of course,this is Frisco,so next we hear from a burned out old hippie;
Kathryn Johnson was an administrator and policy analyst who worked at San Francisco State. “I’m a veteran of the ’60s – I had to come out,” she said. “I’m so happy to see some resistance. We have a mission of social justice. And our ability to have access and do outreach is being destroyed. Overcrowded classes, cutbacks — our original mandate is being undermined. I know there’s money, if we close the corporate loopholes. It’s a matter of political priorities.”I know there’s money, if we close those darn corporate loopholes.That's right,it's those big fat cats sitting on piles of cash and we want to get our grubby hands on it so we can spend their money how we want to.Who cares who earned it,we want it all and we want it now!
I think all the years of pot smoking have seriously damaged Mrs.Johnson's reasoning abilities.Then we hear from this broad's husband,a 72 year old professor of philosophy;
“I was involved in the creation of the ethnic studies department. Now, all of the 1960s departments are being cut. Environment, women’s studies, sexuality – they’re all being cut.”How in the world am I supposed to get a quality education if I cannot take Lesbianism 101 in the Women's Studies Department? This is an outrage!
This old coot goes on to say that the Tea Party is about narrow issues but the Occupy movement is about "much deeper issues". I don't want to look too deeply into the Occupy movements issues,it may leave permanent brain damage.He says he finds the Occupy movement,"a breath of fresh air".Luckily,he was marching down the street and not standing around their open sewer hobo camp.
Mr.Yamiya goes on to describe a couple of Marxist agitator professors who gave speeches getting the crowd all riled up and then the directions and places the march went.At one point,he says the crowd was chanting this;
“No buts, no fees! Education must be free!”To borrow a Marxist term,these folks are not really protesting anything,they are just engaged in "collective" irresponsibility.
