Progressives have this nasty habit of repeating errors over and over. Barack Obama learned nothing from history. His socialism by bureaucracy and big government ideas are FDR all over again. He sells his ideas as new, but they are not. Progressives like to re-label old ideas and try again. Hell…they re-labeled themselves “liberal” and the re-re-labeled themselves “progressive” again…like we wouldn’t notice.

In the Occupy Wall Street camps, they too are failing history. They have probably all heard of Woodstock. I bet 90% of them wish they could have been there.  1969 started with idealistic youth coming together in a big party and casting off the world of their elders. They had fun, but there idealism soon gave way to human nature. Woodstock gave way to the Altamont Speedway later that year when a young man, high on drugs, pulled a gun and was stabbed by the Hell’s Angels. They idealism of Woodstock came crashing down.

The Occupy Wall Street crowd started off as a bunch of idealistic (but misguided) youth with grand visions of remaking society…and today could be the Altamont Speedway moment. A bloodied body has been pulled from a tent at an Occupy Obamaville in Vermont. These camps have been havens for drugs, rape and violence. Surprise! This is the society you create when you cast aside rules and and rule enforcement.
