100,000 PROTESTORS IN NYC. IT AIN'T THE WAR THEY'RE PISSED ABOUT

A Temper Tantrum by the Government Handout Addicts

The rage you see is that of an addict who is threatened with a permanent loss of drugs. Dependency can be that bad. When we were young and in college we were on handouts. Either our parents picked up the tab or the government paid us. Very few of us worked. Some of us used student loans and have been left with varying resentments about it. Another way of saying that young people in these marches will be on some sort of entitlement, usually from the government.

The older ones are also on the dole. Either Social Security (and Medicare, etc.), teachers working for the public schools, the entire academic establishment, government workers, various grant recipients, welfare recipients, and farmers. All require support from taxes. Any expenditure of tax money for something other than their personal dole threatens them. They all want more. They see money going to the military as their money. They want their chocolate. Or else they will urinate on the streets, deficate in your living room, or tear a town apart.

In short, the War lessens their entitlement money. They don't care about anybody but themselves. No proof of weapons, torture, 9/11 or anything else will mean one thing to them. How angry does a person get when "Daddy takes the T-Bird Away?" Look no further than that jerk who drove his tractor into Washington D.C. and blocked traffic for two days. He was in a tizzy fit because the government cut his tobacco subsidy. He felt ENTITLED to it. Without the handout he can't "earn" a living. He doesn't realize he's never EARNED a living.

So when you look at this mass tantrum know that they are on the needle of government handouts. Free money is a habit forming drug, every bit as necessary to the recipient as heroin is to an addict. These handout addicts will follow any terrorist, communist, foreign dictator, or charlatan who will tell them they will not only get their fix, but that they will get even more.

That's what you are seeing in NYC. The War has little to do with it.
