Didn’t think it would take you long to pick up on this one. As any grownup knows, the numerous and largely autocephalous “Tea Party” groups are about law and order. They want a government of laws and not men.

The “occupy” movement, by its very name, is about theft. It wants to “occupy” “spaces” (a progressive, left-academic term designed precisely to disguise the very concept of ownership) that belong to others. In its heyday, it “occupied” lots of private restaurants and demanded to be fed. More than one “activist” occupied the body of an unconsenting other. Its entire ethos was always terroristic. There is no other reason for a large, unruly group to loiter in public than to proclaim an implicit threat of force.

Thus, there is nothing surprising about this story except that it is one of the first, and that it survived the leftist official media filters long enough to see the light of day. Presumably it will now be subjected to the same treatment as the David Gregory story; i.e., grand media wizards will proclaim it a non-story on the grounds of — let’s guess: ineptitude of the terrorists? Like Gregory, perhaps it should have been obvious that these two would not succeed in committing a crime? Who knows how absurd the excuses will be, but the excuses will come.

These people have no shame. They have smelled victory and they believe themselves to be unaccountable. They may be right.

While I’m glad to see the Occupy thugs being treated as the (confirmed) criminals and (probable) terrorists they are, I must point out, this network can monitor any group deemed subversive. And words tend to have fluid meanings these days.

For example, do a search for “tea party extremists”. This being, I believe, one point Stacy is making.

That said, Naomi Wolf is whining about her side being held accountable. This is a rare event for lefties these days, what with President Zero Occupying the White House. So I’m with Bert — “They have smelled victory and they believe themselves to be unaccountable. They may be right.”

PS: HMTD is nasty stuff — it’s the explosive of choice for terrorists lacking reliable access to more stable explosives. Unless this pair was completely incompetent, they were preparing to use it in the near future.

I won’t go into the whys and wherefores of this in a public forum. I will merely point out I’m hoping they weren’t part of any (until now) unknown network.

If they weren’t going to use it soon, then they could have gotten a nasty surprise themselves. It doesn’t store well. They’re fortunate they didn’t kill themselves making the stuff.

I take a grand satisfaction in knowing that she will be one of the first to be put up against the adobe walls if the Revolutionaries succeed.

Don’t worry, Stacy, once they get out of jail they have a brilliant future ahead of them mentoring a dark horse Presidential hopeful…

West 9th street home? These folks must be rich sommunists.

I say let the Occupy Crowd have their cities. They may find the reception a little more…judgmental, if they venture farther out.

It’s amazing. It seems the left assumes that because their own protest movements invariably spawn terrorists (let’s call a spade a spade here), right wing ones are the same.

The radical chic strikes again.

The Left has absolutely no clue who and what we are.

Irish democracy. We express our lack of consent to be governed.
