Left wing activists held in prisons of their own making

  The Washington Post has another column by a left wing progressive activist who encourages  taking to the streets to get what they want:

As a progressive activist who has marched against many wars, I try to avoid militant rhetoric. But only “class warfare” accurately describes a situation in which 400 people control more wealth than the poorest 150 million Americans combined. If “class warfare” isn’t the richest of the rich fighting tooth and nail against unions and any tax increases while record numbers of people lose their homes, what is?

  While decrying the use of "militant rhetoric," the entire column encourages anarchic behavior among her ilk, complaining of "complacency" among American citizens while ignoring the activism of Tea Partiers. 
  She says that it's time for progressives (as if they haven't been) to "disrupt the status quo and mobilize public will for change. If we’re at war, it’s time to escalate."
  Warlike rehetoric? Of course! Encouragement of violence? Of course!
  Here are some actions complacent soon-to-be progressive activists can take to advance the cause of taking control of the financial complex in the United States:

 Imagine millions of Americans withholding mortgage payments to banks that refuse to adjust underwater loans. Imagine divestment campaigns to pressure public pension funds and universities to pull their money from the private sector and put it into government bonds. Imagine students staging sit-ins to protest teacher layoffs. Imagine families who have lost their homes squatting in vacant, bank-owned properties. Imagine a nationwide call to arms, as passionately nonviolent but as violently passionate as the pro-democracy movements sweeping the Arab world. After all, according to the CIA, income inequality in the United States is greater than in Yemen.

  The last crack about income equality is reminiscent of the dodo bird leftwing hiker who was just released from an Iranian prison in which he had been held for two years after being caught hiking in the mountains.
  Here's the first thing he said when the cameras caught up with him upon his release:

"Two years in prison is too long and we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in America and Iran."

  The WaPo writer does not seem to understand that those 400 people don't just "control" their wealth: they earned it. 
  She doesn't want to understand the biblical principle that there will always be class differences and there will always be poor people. Some people will always have more money than others, but that doesn't make it right to TAKE what belongs to the earners.
  In this way, she is trapped in illogical thought patterns and spends her life pursuing illogical unrealistic goals with little love in her heart for her own country and its citizens. She condescends to speak from the mountaintop.
  Likewise, the errant hiker doesn't want to understand that there are significant differences between the United States and Iran politically. One is a brutal regime that pounds protesters into the ground. The other is trying to remain committed to the principles of freedom and independence.
  It's a sad day when you can be held in a prison of your own making for years and not see the difference.
