Humility. Quiet Perseverance.
Yes, when I think of the Occupiers the very first historical analogy that comes to mind is the Continental Army at Valley Forge
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Anti-Wall Street protesters around the country who are vowing to stand their ground against the police and politicians are also digging in against a different kind of adversary: cold weather.
With the temperature dropping, they are stockpiling donated coats, blankets and scarves, trying to secure cots and military-grade tents, and getting survival tips from the homeless people who have joined their encampments.
“Everyone’s been calling it our Valley Forge moment,” said Michael McCarthy, a former Navy medic in Providence. “Everybody thought that George Washington couldn’t possibly survive in the Northeast.”
Excuse me while I barf.

Half of Washington’s army had no shoes and only summer clothing. Let’s see OWS match that then we’ll talk about their heroism.
No barfing in the tent area.
BINGLEY…we HAVE a “barf” category, specifically FOR instances such as this. **taptaptap**
OOPS, my bad. 🙁 Sorry Sis.
Must have been the Buffalo Calamari I had late last night…
The troops at Valley Forge also starved that winter. Methinks the the OWS cretins make too much of themselves.
Wait – GW had a half billion “donated” dollars in a credit union account? Guess those shoeless and starving volunteers failed to submit the proper paperwork to the proper comfort committee rep to take to the General Assembly.
(er … half million. I knew I should have used numbers and not words there. )
Let the temp get in the 20s then we’ll see them head home or to the nearest museum.
NYFD came thru and took 6 generators and all their gas cans due to fire hazard.
“Banality, thy name is Generation Y.”
No more generators, huh? Expect the hippies to start stealing power to recharge their iPhones and MP3 players.
Time to turn on the sprinklers, I’d say.
Big snowstorm predicted for this weekend in the northeast. We’ll see what happens then.
Insert the normal bwahaha about here.
“Everyone’s been calling it our Valley Forge moment,” said Michael McCarthy, a former Navy medic in Providence.
I wonder what convinced a former Navy medic to turn traitor?
“Banality, thy name is Generation Whine.”
FTFY ricki. 😉
When they start getting sick….do you think they’ll blame the gov’t for spraying the tents with flu virus? 😛
“Earliest New York City snow predicted since the Civil War”
I don’t care what atheists think — there IS a God.
I’ll bet he’s a fake Guns, there are no Navy medics, they are called Corpsmen.
Oops forgot to logout THS. That was me Guns.
Thanx major dad.
