Anarchism is a ME-FIRST jungle mentality of SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! One of the problems is that "ME-FIRST" doesn't remain the fittest and will become a victim sooner or later. It works like the old lion who eventually becomes to old and weak, so he is either killed or driven off to die alone. There are always many victims in anarchism, and eventually all of the founders become VICTIMS of what they started. By the way, there are lots of rules in anarchism, so everything is a contradiction in terms and philosophy. It would be an interesting philosophy to apply to a lion pride, but it doesn't work there either. There are lots of rules in a lion pride, and disobedience usually means either horrible wounds or death.

There is no working example of anarchism in the world that has lasted for any length of time. WHY? They either kill each other or others kill them. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST has a base that should be investigated in more intellectual manners. The base is:  WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL IS NO LONGER FIT ENOUGH TO BE NEAR THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN - THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT SURVIVE! THERE ARE ALSO INDIVIDUALS STANDING IN LINE TO REPLACE THAT OLD LION, AND THE OLD LION MUST GO OR DIE!

The superior people of far-Leftist Berkeley

All ego

As most veteran customers know, it takes a pretty thick skin to successfully navigate the Berkeley Bowl, this strident city’s most popular grocery store. Outside, petitioners seeking signatures for ballot measures have come to blows with opinionated residents. In the tiny parking lot, nicknamed the Berkeley Brawl, frustrated motorists have been known to ram one another’s cars. At the checkout, people have thrown punches and unripened avocados at suspected line-cutters.

When one shopper was told she couldn’t return a bag of granola, she showily dumped its contents on the floor. Culyon Garrison, who works at the customer-service desk, recently had a loaf of bread thrown at him.

The produce emporium — one of the nation’s most renowned retailers of exotic fruits and vegetables — creates its own bad behavior. Kamikaze shoppers crash down crowded aisles without eye contact or apology for fender-benders. So many customers weren’t waiting to pay before digging in that management imposed the ultimate deterrent: Those caught sampling without buying will be banned for life — no reprieves, no excuses. (Not even “I forgot to take my medication.”)

Raphael Breines, who was ejected last year for eating on the premises, said he couldn’t decide between two types of apricots, so he sampled both. Security stopped him in the parking lot. “They treated me like a thief,” said the 37-year-old park planner, who was photographed and required to sign a no-trespass agreement. “Technically I was stealing, but I wasn’t trying to hide anything. I was just deciding which type of apricot to buy.” Breines, a longtime customer, sent an apology letter, asking to be reinstated. His request was denied.

Store manager Larry Evans says the policy is a fair response to doctors, lawyers and college professors who help themselves to bags of cookies, nuts and vitamins, stick their fingers in pies and guzzle from bottles of sake, assuming the rules don’t apply to them. “There’s a sense of entitlement to this town,” Evans said. “People think, ‘If I want to do it, I’ll do it, just try and stop me.’ ”

Seven years on the job, he said, has given him insight into the city’s sometimes sharp social elbows. “Berkeley residents are angry — they’re mad at the president, the economy, all kinds of stuff. And this is the place where it seems to get released, the local supermarket.”

Longtime Berkeley residents also think they have a grip on the good life, so being banned from the Bowl is no small matter. On a typical summer day, a shopper at the Bowl is likely to find 20 kinds of apples, eight types of mangoes, half a dozen varieties of papaya, six kinds of garlic, five types of ginger and 40 different tomatoes.

Anti-war protester tries to handcuff Karl Rove
58-year-old woman accosted on stage attempting 'citizen's arrest for treason'

An anti-war protester confronted former Bush administration aide Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers' meeting.

A statement by the group Code Pink identified the woman as 58-year-old Janine Boneparth, who tried to handcuff Rove in what she called a citizen's arrest for "treason."

Rove, who was speaking Tuesday at the Mortgage Bankers Association's annual convention, elbowed Boneparth away as she was escorted off the stage.
Story continues below ↓advertisement

In total, five Code Pink members were removed from the hall during Rove's appearance. The organization says none of the five women were charged.

I do believe that we are going to hear a lot more from this group.

Leftists Get Violent During IMF/World Bank Protest

Two bank branches in Logan Circle sustained more than $110,000 in damage before dawn yesterday when at least 15 people dressed in black used bricks, hammers and sticks to smash windows, smearing red paint symbols that denounced the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, police said.

Security cameras in the 1400 block of P Street NW captured images of the vandals racing down the sidewalk at 5:20 a.m., residents said. As they went, they spilled red paint, which police say was later found streaked on the soles of several suspects' shoes and on their clothes.

Yesterday, a two-hour demonstration through downtown ended near the IMF headquarters on 19th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, where police tried to force the protesters off the street and then used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

One protester was taken to a hospital with a splint on his leg. Dozens of others, along with a police officer, were treated at the scene for burning skin and eyes. A 22-year-old demonstrator was arrested after kicking a police officer who had fallen off a bicycle, police said.

Police said they believe that the vandalism at the banks -- a PNC branch and a Wachovia branch -- was associated with the groups that organized the protests later in the morning, although several demonstrators denied involvement.

Capt. Jeffrey Herold of the Special Operations Division compared the vandalism to the rampage through Adams Morgan after George W. Bush's second presidential inauguration. The impromptu incident in 2005 left windows smashed at a police substation and two bank branches, and about 80 people were arrested.

About 8 a.m., a group of about 50 people marched in tank tops or spandex, doing fan kicks and arm curls while chanting "Kick out the capitalists!" and "Pump up the people power!"

Later, they joined with a group that had marched down Connecticut Avenue led by self-described anarchists. Members of that group dressed in black, and many wore hooded sweat shirts and bandannas over the mouths.

About 9:15 a.m., as they snaked down Pennsylvania Avenue past the IMF headquarters, chants turned darker. "No bailouts, no thanks! We'll burn down your [expletive] banks!"

A 20-year-old area college student and member of an anarchist collective said the group was not responsible for the vandalism but supported it.

"Banks should be abolished, and we believe in the destruction of capitalism and all organizations that support it," said the student, adding that he would not give his name because he feared government retaliation. "Housing is a right, and the banks are taking that away through foreclosure, so we do support any action against banks."

About 9:45 a.m., the protesters marched through Foggy Bottom flanked by police and approached the financial institutions' headquarters for a second time. Police ordered the demonstrators, who did not have permits to march in the street, to move to the sidewalk.

The protesters resisted, some pounding their hands on the hood of a police car. Dozens of federal and local officers arrived -- by bicycle, motorcycle and cars and on horseback -- to help quell the disturbance.

Compare this to the TEA Parties, which were poo poo’d by most in the Credentialed Media, but did not feature violence.

Did the police have to pull out the pepper spray during the TEA Parties, and arrest anyone for kicking a cop? I didn’t think so.

Who were the little darlings? Why, they were part of Global Justice Action, or at least there because of GJA, which sponsored the protests, starting on Friday and going through today. The police ought to arrest the leaders, since they basically incited the violence.

Environmental activist Marie Mason was sentence to twenty-one years and ten months in prison for her role in an Earth Liberation Front (ELF) arson at Michigan State University (MSU) in 1999. Mason was also ordered to pay $4.1 million in restitution.

Marie Mason, an environmental activist from Cincinnati, Ohio, is serving 22 years after admitting 13 counts of arson and property damage. Many liberal organizations are decrying this action as being too severe and mislabeled as terrorism. After all it isn't terrorism because no one got hurt.

Attack on Californians a 'hate crimes' preview?
Report documents assault on freedoms of speech, religion

If you want a preview of America under a federal "hate crimes" plan, just look at the attacks on majority Californians when the Proposition 8 state constitutional definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman only was approved in November, according to a coming report from Coral Ridge Ministries.

Robert Knight, a senior writer for the ministry, called the plan that already has been approved by the U.S. House and now is pending in the Senate, "perhaps the greatest challenge to the freedoms of speech, religion and assembly that we've ever seen."

The ministry's May 17 Corral Ridge Hour will report on the growing hostility towards advocates of traditional marriage and how the "hate crime" plan will inspire more abuse from homosexual radicals.

Cited in the report is an incident immediately following the 2008 election, in which a majority of Californians chose to define in their state constitution marriage as being between a man and a woman only.

An angry mob of homosexual activists in Southern California attacked an elderly bespectacled woman carrying a cross, then shouted her down as she tried to explain during a television interview her defense of the state's new marriage amendment.

"WE SHOULD FIGHT! WE SHOULD FIGHT!" screams one  protester as the woman, identified as Phyllis Burgess, stands calmly with a reporter waiting to be interviewed.

An example of attacks on Christians in California by homosexuals upset over their support for traditional marraige

For a limited time,  by special arrangement through WND, for only $10.95 members of the public can send 100 individually addressed letters to each senator by overnight mail. Each letter is individually "signed" by the sender. The letters ask for a written response and call for opposition to the bill, including by filibuster if necessary.

A video of the attack can be seen on WND along with this article at:

A cross Burgess was carrying was knocked from her hands, then stomped on the ground. Even the reporter was baffled by the aggressive protesters.

"She just wants to express her viewpoint, sir," she tells a protester who was waving his arms in her face.

The Coral Ridge report also cites the vicious and obscene attacks on Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who was asked by a homosexual activist judge during the national competition for her personal views on marriage. She responded with an acknowledgement of America's freedom to choose, then said her own belief was that marriage is between a man and a woman.

The response was a series of vicious name-calling attacks on her.

That attitude, Knight said, will be emboldened under a "hate crime" law.

"Seeing is believing. Perez Hilton berating Miss California is worth a thousand words," Knight said. "[You can] see what the guy is all about and what the gay movement will be like if they triumph. It should send a shiver down every spine in America."

Gary Cass, president of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, joins Knight on the program. He cites other instances of vandalism on churches, physical attacks on Christians, even a senior citizen being punched in the face because her yard held a "Yes on 8" sign.

Also featured will be "The War Against Christianity," a sermon by the late D. James Kennedy, Coral Ridge founder.

A hearing on the pending "hate crimes" plan, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, already approved by the U.S. House as H.R. 1913 and pending in the Senate as S. 909, is expected in the Senate Judiciary Committee soon. It's been described by Shawn D. Akers, policy analyst with Liberty Counsel, as a bill to create penalties against "victims" who were chosen based on an "actual or perceived ... sexual orientation, gender identity."

Many have dubbed it the "Pedophile Protection Act," and Reps. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, and Steve King, R-Iowa, have explained how they tried to have majority Democrats in Congress define "sexual orientation" in the bill – and were refused.

They also tried to add an amendment that would state that pedophiles were not, in fact, protected under the law, and Democrats again voted to reject that idea.

King explained it's part of a national effort by homosexual activists not to just have the freedom to choose their lifestyle, but to be able to demand approval and likewise condemn those who don't agree with homosexual behavior.

First, he said, comes the so-called "hate crimes" law. Then will come the employment non-discrimination concept that says "thou shalt hire people of these proclivities." Finally, there would come the imposition of nation-wide same-sex marriage combined with speech limits banning any criticism of it, restrictions that already are in place in Canada.

Gohmert pointed out that Christians and their pastors need especially to be worried because of the bull's-eye being painted on them by homosexuals.

He said while the "hate crimes" bill says its provisions shouldn't be used against religious statements, there's an important word that follows that provision: "Unless."

That's unless "the evidence relates to that offense," he said.

And under existing federal law, someone who "induces" a crime can be tried, convicted and sentenced as the principal. He said that leaves open pastors and Christians to be prosecuted should someone who commits a crime claim to have heard them speaking against homosexuality.

 The ongoing Senate circus in Albany is pure farce at its most absurd, but at one point this week, things turned downright ugly.

On Thursday, some 150 protestors -- many of them from the thuggish far-left group ACORN -- turned up outside the Senate chamber and actually assaulted members of the Republican faction.

The demonstrators nearly knocked to the floor Sen. James Alesi (of upstate Monroe County); they also spat in the face of his chief of staff, according to published reports.

Not only was this violence uncalled for, the ACORN crowd shouldn't even have been there in the first place: The Senate lobby is a restricted area, and public protests are explicitly prohibited.

Sen. George Winner (R-Elmira) accused Senate Secretary Angelo Aponte -- the Malcolm Smith ally who earlier had locked the entire Senate out of the chambers -- of having "clearly sanctioned" the riot.

Violence from ACORN hardly surprises: It has a history, dating to the '80s, of engaging in trespassing, illegal seizure of private property, physical harassment, intimidation and outright extortion.

Those tactics, along with its notorious, fraud-tainted "voter registration" efforts, have been bolstered not only with millions in union cash, but also with $53 million in direct federal aid since 1994.

All of which makes us wonder why Mayor Bloomberg felt the need to go to bat for the group and its anti-foreclosure efforts.

The mayor, along with some of his big-city counterparts, supports a "pilot" ACORN project that ostensibly "mediates" renegotiations of distressed mortgages between borrowers and lenders to avoid foreclosures.

His housing commissioner, Rafael Cestero, hailed ACORN as "a solid housing provider in the city and a partner to the city of New York."

It remains to be seen whether this particular program is above board -- though ACORN, with its record, deserves the benefit of no doubts whatsoever.

But we wonder.

Will Bloomberg -- with his unfortunate history of doing business with noxious figures like Lenora Fulani and, now, ACORN -- be singing a different tune if the shoving and spitting come to City Hall?
