Time “Person of the Year” Poops on Cars
Dec 14, 2011
By Todd Starnes/TWITTERTime Magazine’s “Person of the Year” defecates on police cars, throws firebombs, and brutalizes women.
The magazine named “The Protester” as its “Person of the Year” for 2011 citing dissent across the Middle East and the United States – arguing that the protesters are reshaping global politics.
The choice was announced on NBC’s “Today” show by managing editor Richard Stengel.
“These are the folks who are changing history already and will change the future,” Stengel said.
“For capturing and highlighting a global sense of restless promise, for upending governments and conventional wisdom, for combining the oldest of techniques with the newest of technologies to shine a light on human dignity and, finally, for steering the planet on a more democratic though sometimes more dangerous path for the 21st century, the Protester is Time’s 2011 Person of the Year,” Stengel said in a statement.
But in this country, the Occupy Movement has transformed from a peaceful protest into a raging horde of domestic terrorist revolutionaries.
Thousands of people from New York to California have been arrested. The Occupiers have laid siege to public parks turning them into vast wastelands of human filth and disease.
School children in New York City were terrorized by screaming crowds of protesters at Zucotti Park. Women were brutally assaulted. Drug use and public nudity was rampant. Local residents constantly complained about the Occupiers marking their territory by defecating and urinating in public.
In California, the Occupiers clashed with police, firebombing buildings and trying to shut down major ports. Not content with their physical violence, they tried to inflict economic pain on the nation. At least one New York City café was forced to shut down because of the Occupiers. More than 91 people are now on the unemployment line.
These are the individuals that Time chose to recognize. Were there no other people that met the magazine’s qualifications?
What about the late Steve Jobs or Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords? Her brave and miraculous recovery from a nearly fatal gunshot wound has inspired a nation. Or how about Navy SEAL Team 6 – the heroic Americans who killed Osama bin Laden?
Time’s “Person of the Year” could have inspired us, challenged us to be better, to reach for the stars.
Instead, they’ve chosen to honor cowards and guttersnipes hell-bent on bringing revolution to the streets of America.
