Occupy Wall Street by Thomas Sowell

By Dr. Thomas Sowell,


The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.

It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and of murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.

It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: of defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been always rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been now shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.

It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and all other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democrat Party have now created with all the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.

 Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in 3 years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of.The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America. "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure that's so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

The problems we face today are there because the people who work  for a living are out numbered by the people that vote for a living.

The Therapist's Solution ........

Eileen and her husband Bob went for counselling after 25 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, Eileen went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking Eileen to stand, embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put his hands on her breasts and massaged them thoroughly, while kissing her passionately on her lips.

Her husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!

Eileen stood up, buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down while basking in the glow of being highly aroused.

The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week.. Can you do this?'

Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I  bowl."

Eldrick and his problems

Maybe we should feel a little more compassion for Eldrick.

First, the name Eldrick, with the middle name of Tont. Eldrick has spent his entire life with a golf club in his hand, perhaps it was forced on him, living out the dream of his Father, Earl, and his Mother, Kultida. Those names, alone, are enough to scar a child for life. And, then when you spend all your waking hours hitting golf balls, there is not much time left to just be a boy.

All Eldrick did, his entire life, was play golf, and he played it better than anyone else, perhaps before, and in the future. His prowess elevated him to a status, well, in the world of golf, he was up there all alone.

All of a sudden, thanks to his bodyguards, and an unlimited source of money, he would see a woman that appealed to him, and in most cases, he could have her. Sports figures have always had their choice of a flock of women, who surrounded them, and made themselves available.

Look at Kobie and Ben, and I imagine the list would include a large percentage of sports figures, who have availed themselves of the opportunities.

Look at Sinatra, we never thought the less of him.

Sports figures, musicians, singers, politicians, it happens in every walk of life. Not saying it was right, just picturing a young guy, a pocket full of money, and a crowd of young beautiful girls, just waiting to get the nod.

I don't know that we should ruin the man for those indiscretions. Let's remember the "kid in the candy store." Just think of how his life has been, "Hi, I'm Eldrick, would you like to go out with me?"
