The Sincerest Form of Flattery

Christopher Adamo at Intellectual Conservative has written an interesting analysis of the Occupy Wall Street mob.  He suggests they are trying to be the Progressive version of the Tea Party in the same way Air America tried to be the antidote to Rush Limbaugh and the rest of Conservative Talk Radio.

He thinks they'll accomplish just as much and be just as successful.

And that's a cozy, comforting thought.

Endowed with a mantle of sanctimony conferred upon it by liberal mouthpieces on the nightly news, its members possess neither the conscience nor the dignity to be embarrassed to stand in public and assert an “unalienable right” to mooch from the productive segment of society. Clearly an orchestrated event, this overhyped exhibition could never have gotten even as far as it has without massive behind the scenes effort and funding from organizations such as ACORN (regardless of whatever name its members currently claim). Nor can it continue without a massive and ongoing infusion of money and effort from its subversive sponsors. And so the protestors continue, with increasing ferocity, making their demands. All the while, they remain unaware of the one indisputable truth of a cancer, namely the absolute impossibility, under any circumstances, that it could ever outlive its host. So in the end, the “Occupy Wall Street” circus will go the way of “Air America.”

In the meantime, its abhorrent ugliness must be inextricably linked to its philosophical allies in the Democrat party, where the concept was originally spawned.
