The finest people in the world can be found on the American left. The most elegant manners, the most dignified posture, conduct of the most becoming are descriptive of American leftists: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/zuccotti_park_big_top_ilBy4VfYIwDGt2I1rM33vL http://thedc.com/vgi790#ooid=JpNWh5Mjqz1LVw-QZprwGCr0XoJdfZLh
It appears that Lincoln, Kennedy, Hemingway, Monroe, King, etc., etc., etc., belong to what is derogatorily called the left.
I read the same articles and what leapt out at me wasn't the few sexual assault incidents but the bleeding-heart liberal over-reaction to them. It does seem odd that the conservatives on this forum were chastising the OWS folks for their depravity and are now chastising them for acting to aid the victims of such problems. It is also telling that most of the predators mentioned were NOT OWS protestors but local scumbags taking advantage of women camping overnight downtown.
It's not the aid, but the fact that a rape shelter should even briefly occupy someones mind as a necessity. Do you know that the scumbags have different views, or that they would vote differently than most OWS participants? Maybe that's it... they're assaulting and raping women because they disagree with their political leanings.
Actually, the conservatives aren't chastising these people for aiding the victims. We are chastising them for covering up these criminal acts, for the depravity that would necessitate these actions and for the foolishness of people who think it is a good idea to sleep in a city park.
Lincoln was a Republican. He's dead. Kennedy was a tax cutter and national defense hawk. He's dead. Hemingway wrote well as a young man, and grew old troubled by his inability to repeat his literary triumphs. He's dead now. Monroe is the name of a president and an star crossed actress. They're both dead now. King was a pacifist. He's dead now. What do all of these personalities have in common? None of them is alive and part of the leftist movement today.
You never heard about this crap happening at Tea Party events. OWS =Drug use & distro, rape, vandalism, communism, entitlement syndrome, attacking law enforcement, and I could go on forever.
Vancouver is closing the OWS camp there due to drug abuse. There is even one woman who died from an overdose last night there.
Does any one think it's Herman Cain sneaking into the tents of these OWS women and raping them? No...only leftists are at these protests. These women are being raped by their fellow leftists. Talk about solidarity!
Guess "Free Love" isn't so Free or Loving when it's taken by force. They wanted to create a collective, well now their bodies both men and women, are being forcibly taken by the collective. 2 men were recently raped at OWS. Criminal gangs of homosexuals going around raping men? Now that is truly sick.
