STELLA PAUL: AMERICA’S CHILDREN COME HOME TO ROOST****

Do you think the young gent from Occupy Wall Street who defecated on the cop car got an A in “Dialectics of Hegemony”?
The hordes of pathetic, dead-eyed pagans pustulating through our cities with Occupy Wall Street are the crowning achievement of America’s academy.
Thousands of vampires with PhDs labored for decades to perfect the art of sucking the souls from America’s trusting young, and then hustling them into the slavery of terminal stupidity.
How obedient these foul-smelling young wretches are! How touchingly eager they are to please! They sit on the ground in kindergarten formation, obligingly parroting whatever hellish nihilism oozes from the “microphone leader’s” lips: “Everything is possible! You can have sex with animals!” Up go the “happy hands” in dutiful response. They so want to be good!
A British paper informs us that Bard College students are gracing the Occupy Wall Street throngs in New York, playing hookey on their $57,000 a year classes. Or are they? I suspect they’re apple-polishing for extra credit. Last year, that towering intellectual, Bard’s Leon Botstein became the first college president to welcome the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) as an official campus organization.
Attention Bard parents, who thought you were shelling out a fortune to put a little artsy sheen on your precious darlings! Actually, you were thrusting them into the hands of the ISM, a terrorist-enabling group awarded a gold medal by Hamas for all their lovely help.
President Botstein now explicitly funnels campus funds and resources to ISM, which trains students on Bard’s idyllic grounds to take “direct action” against Israel. “The training was led by 3 Bard students. 14 trainees were present,” notes Bard’s ISM website. “Many were headed for December’s Gaza Freedom March to break the Israeli siege of Gaza.”
Those eager, painfully naive Bard students smelling up the streets of New York aren’t being transgressive! They’re trying to be virtuous like their hero, student activist Rachel Corrie, who was ferreted to her death in Gaza by the very same ISM. After all, “direct action” is what all those lavishly credentialed grown-ups keep telling them to do.
In case you’re worried about Leon Botstein’s paying a price for his outrageous antics, let me assure you that destroying young people’s souls is lucrative work. George Soros — imagine that! — just donated $60 million to Bard College for international work under the aegis of the brand-new Bard College Center for Civic Engagement.
Civic engagement, indeed!
Let us now place an urgently needed cordon sanitaire around the pigsty of New York’s Zuccotti Park, where Occupy Wall Street holds forth, and fly to Occupy Boston.
There, in America’s college town, we’ll find our dewy-eyed innocents rallying on behalf of accused terrorist Tarek Mehanna. But of course! Who better to pour out their sympathies to than a PhD pharmacist who allegedly plotted to machine gun shoppers in New England malls? No one can accuse Tarek Mahenna of lacking “civic engagement.”
Perhaps the Occupy Boston mob feels a collegial warmth for Mahenna, who’s one of five New England Muslim college graduates either arrested for or convicted of terrorist acts. For the record, alumni donors, their colleges were Northeastern, MIT, U Mass, Boston and Brandeis University. Holy Che Guevera, what are they teaching there?
Oh, just the usual “America is an imperialistic war-monger in thrall to the ethnic cleansing Zionists” shtick. Just look over to the Big Campus in Town where Harvard’s Stephen Walt is patiently explaining the evils of America’s Jews in his legendary effluvia, The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy.
(Does anyone else find it disconcerting that the German translation works out as Die-Israel Lobby?)
The $20 million the Saudis gave to Harvard goes a long way to buying young minds. You need a strong academic infrastructure to get students so inspired they surge through the streets on behalf of terrorists planning to kill them. But Allah willing, with the help of “scholars” like Sara Roy of Harvard’s Center for Middle East Studies, all is possible. The tireless Dr. Roy specializes in instructing impressionable youngsters on the moral beauty of Hamas and other terror groups, in her unofficial capacity as “the ringmaster of Harvard’s bash Israel circus.”
The nationwide scenes of robotic debauchery, moral confusion and nihilistic violence are searing my heart. This Yom Kippur, I read a tale of a Hasidic master whose disciples asked him, “What is the worst thing a person’s evil impulse can achieve?” His answer: “to make him forget that he is the child of a King.”
America’s children were born into the blessings of Constitutional freedom and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness should be theirs for the taking. Instead, they obediently wallow in the muck of anarchy, as their academic pagan priests taught them. May this tragic farce playing out on our campuses and main streets mark the bottom of our descent, before we begin to rise again.
