I recently strolled down Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh and was struck by two images.
First, there was the stirring life-sized Nativity that each year is displayed on the property of the giant U.S. Steel building. It is an inspiring sight.
As I walked along, however, my eyes were distracted by something I was not prepared to see: an assembling of tents with an entrance sign declaring not “Hark!” or “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” but “Abolish Capitalism.”
The tents constituted Pittsburgh’s mini-version of Occupy Wall Street. It was “Occupy Pittsburgh.” Yes, right there at the core of the Steel City that literally won world wars and built America through capitalism.
The two images—the Nativity vs. Occupy Pittsburgh—are a stark contrast. They were separated by maybe 100 feet of space, but by light years in worldview. The Nativity is the true symbol of Christmas, of course—an attempt to recapture the real meaning of the secularized season. The Occupy movement, on the other hand, is intensely secular, despite its small presence of “social justice” Christians. Both symbols, however, share one thing in common: they are testimonies to the excesses of the extreme Left.
Consider first the Occupy movement: The Occupiers define themselves as against Wall Street specifically and big business and big banks and “corporate greed” generally. I don’t want e-mails from people telling me the Occupiers have a point here and there. Let’s not be fools. This is a self-professed, staunchly far-left movement rooted in anti-capitalism.

cont'…..congrats because now you have an entire generation of these socialist aholes wanting everything for nothing. someone once said "no government can give anything away for free without first taking it from someone else" when one half of the country sees the other half sitting on their lazy pig asses doing nothing and receiving the same rights and more than the people that are working eventually the other half of the country decides "why should i work? i can get the same results as the other lazy useless swines without working". that is the downfall of a nation. maybe we should give them all "participation" trophies! what a concept to teach kids! you get a trophy whether you achieve or not! just like hussein obama! give him the "Nobel Peace Prize" just for stayin' black! way to go bro!
these occupiers are learning their "everyone should work but me and everyone owes me" attitude from the welfare blacks that have been on the government dole for 50 years! this is what you teach a society when the more kids they crap out the more money thet will get. this is what happens when you take people out of the ghetto and give them nice houses and whatever food they want and free health care, cell phones, cable tv and now internet without ever working for these things or doing anything to earn or deserve them! welfare was designed as an "emergency" program to help people desperately in need not to give lazy pigs everything that the rest of us work so hard for. cont'…
