Protesters lack an intelligent message

My fellow citizens of the liberal persuasion have consistently criticized the tea party with false allegations of bigotry and hate akin to that of the Ku Klux Klan. The tea party came into existence because of irresponsible spending of our money by legislators seeking to remain in office by any means, resulting in higher taxation of us regular people.

As it has always been, when those on the left can’t present an intelligent argument refuting what the tea party stands for (because, of course they know there isn’t one) they resort to lies and character assassination.

Now another grass-roots group has emerged and marched on Wall Street demanding a better life and blaming their lack of wealth on greedy entrepreneurs. The actions of these people have resulted in many altercations with law enforcement officers and hundreds of arrests. On one news channel a middle-aged person told one of the demonstrators to get a job. The demonstrator responded, “I’m not going to work for 7 dollars an hour,” and then called him an ethnic epithet. Who’s the bigot here? One protester defecated on a police car.

Nancy Pelosi and many of her comrades have endorsed these revolutionary thugs as doing what is good for the country. Actually the Wall Street rioters are the same as the tea partyers, without the good character, without the good hygiene and without the intelligence. Listen to them being interviewed and you will conclude that they are as smart as a box of rocks.
