Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

Are we back in the Sixties again?

Social upheaval, wars in diverse places, and even the incessant sound of distant class warfare drumbeats seeming to mark ominous time to the never-ceasing US end-of-days plotlines--which can be seen in story after story and book after book. But then there was also "The One," the Occupy movement's Dark Lord Of the Sloth, Lord Obama, who arrived on the scene for a much awaited inner-beltway dedication to a deserving Father of the modern Civil Rights movement.

A beautiful October day, the monolithic statue of  martyred hero Martin Luther King, Jr., seemed almost alive, as the granite entombed King stonily towered with arms in resolute akimbo. It was difficult to tear one's eyes away from King's pose, ironically rendered in lilly-white, for Heaven's sake. As Obama let spew yet another round of words intended as a soothing verbal lobotomy, impulsively, I kept detecting something familiar in the statue, a certain feeling of deja vu.

Finally, it came to me.

Instead of seeing the ever-familiar Han Solo encased within the mythical element of carbonite, it was now Martin Luther King, Jr. assuming the Lucasonian carbonite freezing position right out of the Star Wars culture, and the eloquent Dark Lord was even there to preside. It was, therefore, rather unamazing to later learn that Star Wars iconic creator George Lucas had heavily contributed to the MLK statue project...you just can't make this stuff up.

But the cherry on top had to be Obama's speech to the gatherers at the MLK christening.  Obama seemed to continually make both vague and outright references to the anti-capitalist movement going on in a city near you , once even stating that, MLK, a devout Republican, would have somehow backed this left-leaning zeitgeist movement, which, by a series of cultural connections, seems to complete the burgeoning Star Wars plotlines. You see, the Dark Lord of The Sloth, indeed, must have his Army, and who better to serve than this grouping of  resolutely ill-dedicated Clones within the Occupy Protests.

Granted, when we speak of Obama's new army of  lounging Leftist clones, we are referring to a decidedly un-diverse grouping of extreme left-wing, non-independent thinking, organizations and individuals who have made their presence and their support known at these Occupy demonstrations. From the Nazi Party (National Socialists Party) to the Communist Party USA, the Workers Party, the Working Family Party, the New Party, Left-Wing Labor Unions-- all have come out in support and have, even more remarkably, evidenced  little if any irritation towards the truly culpable in our government, but rather, the reverse. That being even more power to the government to magnitudinally intensify the bankrupting of America under the auspices of redistribution, while vilifying the only ones who can actually aid in extricating America from its hyper-leftist economic disaster.

A Curiously Fawning Media

These Occupy protests, which began on Wall Street and spread throughout the larger US cities, have for a time even  intensified internationally, but have largely transformed into what could only be termed as a vast social anarchy movement geared largely against banks, the wealthy, and free market capitalism itself, for the most part--as violence has become an either threatened or active component of virtually each larger demonstration. The media, in stark but predicable contrast to its past coverage of the Tea Party, has been curiously fawning in its attention to this latest iteration of the materially-offended, along with, of course, the President and the Democrats in charge. In fact the Axis Press' coverage of the Occupy protests, in nine days, exceeded almost an entire of year of Tea Party stories.
