Letter from the editor responding to Occupy Boston defender

Letter from the editor responding to Occupy Boston defender…
Dear Bil(L)?,

Thank you for your letter dated 5/18/12, and please accept
my apologies for this late response, as I was sorting my
sock drawer and counting toothpicks. I was overjoyed to hear
that you were “horrified, disgusted and utterly confused”…
with the things I said about Occupy Boston in the Jan/Feb
issue of Pax Centurion. Hopefully, like all good occupiers,
you also wrung your hands, cried, moaned and wailed about
injustices of one sort or another. Feel free to organize a community
meeting, bang some bongo drums, and invite me as
your guest speaker. I’ll bring the tofu and brown rice. You
start the line-dancing with the gray-haired Jamaica Plain and
Cambridge aging hippies.
Ahmmm, Bil(L) (I notice you spell your name with only
one “L”- the correct and proper spelling –for men that is – is
with two, but I shouldn’t jump to conclusions…), I was at
Dewey Square, on numerous occasions, and on overtime,
so thank you for that opportunity. It helps with the college
tuition I have to pay for greedy college professors and the
universities who employ them who raise tuition every year,
reward themselves with pay raises, and then point their bony
fingers at the taxpayers. (Now there’s something to protest
about!) You say you “spoke with officers and got a lot of
support”? Bil(L), let me let you in on a trade secret: they
were bullshitting you. They were laughing at you while pretending
to agree with your stupid group and the assembled
morons from privileged backgrounds who took over public
property and destroyed it. Ahhhm, Bil(L), I know you don’t
understand the intricacies of police jargon, but sometimes
the term “Have a nice day, sir”, means the exact opposite, if
you get my drift. Bil(L), it’s called “good cop/bad cop”. They
were playing good cop. I, on the other hand, am evil and bad
and have big claws and fangs and write terrible things about
suburban nitwits who want to relive the 1960’s, beat drums,
feel good about themselves, and screw up traffic for people
who actually work for a living.
I find utter hypocrisy in nitwits/occupiers (how redundant)
from privileged communities like Brookline, Wellesley,
Newton and Dover holding cups of Starbuck’s latte while
professing to have solidarity with the working man. The vast
majority of “Occupiers” were either spoiled snots playing
professional protester or actual bums who were there to take
advantage of naïve nitwits. Personally, I give three cheers to
the real bums. At least they knew what they were there for,
and most of them got it…
Bil(L), let me cut to the chase: you are a hypocrite and a
fraud, as are all of your fellow “Occupiers”. I was provided
with a wonderful photo of one of your fellow occupiers
marching down our streets, befouling traffic for working
people trying to get home, screeching about injustice of one
kind or another. Then appeared another photo of the same
person (“Muffy from Medfield”) as she engaged in equestrian
activity, jumping expensive horses over expensive fences
in tony Hamilton. I do not know if Muffy took some of the
professional bums home to Mommy and Daddy’s house after
Occupy Boston was shut down, (as I had hoped), but I suspect
not… they’re still there, praying for Occupy Boston’s return.
As they have told me, they never were fed so well, nor had
so many liberal college girls showered “compassion” upon
them, in one form or another… Ahem…
Bil(L), I do not need nor want the support of people like
you for any police union activity; you don’t support the police
at all, never have, never will. We know that. And Bil(L), I’m
not “getting squeezed by the 1%”, as you put it. I have been
squeezed by your good friends and supporters, Tom Menino
and Deval Patrick. We’re without a contract for two years
(soon to be three) under Mayor Menino, and your friend,
Governor Patrick, cut my pay by $7,000 and de-funded our
collective bargaining agreement and state law (the Quinn bill).
I did not hear any outrage from you or your fellow occupiers.
Letter from the editor responding to Occupy Boston defender…
Dear Bil(L)?,
I assume that my confiscated money is now in the hands of
some bum with an EBT card or an illegal alien getting free
health care, but you’d know that better than me.
And Bil(L), don’t lecture me about my “sacred duty”.
You’re the people who don’t believe in anything sacred, so
shutup. You’re the people who recently shouted down an
organized, peaceful, permitted (didn’t get those, did we occupiers?)
Tea Party rally on Boston Common when they tried
to say a prayer and used vile invectives and vulgarities. (Geez,
Bil(L), I thought we supported free speech? Just for you, not
for others?) And this might amaze you, but guess what? The
first amendment applies to us too! Yes, that’s right, Bil(L).
We, the police, have rights too! Who would’a thunk it! Most
police officers have to remain quiet because of our positions,
but I have the luxury of speaking on behalf of what 99% of
police officers really think about you and your occupiers. (I
guess that makes me a “1%’er”?)
Bil(L), the great writer and political commentator P.J.
O’Rourke was quoted as saying “ At the core of liberalism
is the spoiled child—miserable, as all spoiled children are,
unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless.
Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.” There could be
no truer words written. Bil(L), why don’t you and your fellow
occupiers go find a sandbox in Brookline or Newton, where
you can protest injustices, stamp your feet, scream and yell,
and then go home to Mommy and Daddy and eat quiche, brie
and have a good long slug of Chardonnay? Leave working
people who are trying to navigate their way home through
heavy traffic alone, and stop tying up police resources with
your childish stupidity.
Finally, Bil(L), I noticed that you identified yourself as a
teacher. AHA! No wonder the country is filled with so many
young idiots who don’t know history, geography, math or
classical literature, but can sing North Korean-style songs
praising Obama! (“Barack Hussein Obama, Mmm..Mmm..
Mmm.” Check it out on your primary source of information
Bil(L) – Youtube – New Jersey primary school). Perhaps,
Bil(L), if you spent less time at Occupy Boston and more
time instructing students in how to think critically, we might
actually have students who can find Europe on a map. Then
again, too many liberals like yourself indoctrinate students,
rather than teach matters of substance. Liberals act on emotion
and feelings, conservatives use logic and reason.
Finally Bil(L), I don’t need Supt. Evans to “vouch for
[your] integrity”. I know Supt. Evans very well. Do not
“name-drop” in your final sentence and think that that either
impresses or threatens me. And unfortunately, Bil(L), I don’t
have the time for you to “come down and talk to [me]”. Who
do you think I am, one of your stupid students you can lecture
to? Unlike you, I don’t have the summer, nights, weekends,
holidays, Christmas, February and April vacations off to listen
to you nitwits beat drums, hold hands, eat brown rice, perform
line dances and whine about social injustice.
So, Mr. Bil(L) Lewis, citizen of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in closing…
“Have a nice day, sir.”

striving to be part of the “1%” and hoping to retire
soon and flee the People’s Republic of Massachusetts)


(P.S.- Your letter will be reprinted in this month’s issue of
the Pax. Please feel free to write again when you have less
time on your hands. Also, you may use this response in your
class to explain to your students the definition of an “ad
hominen” attack. Oh, geez, that’s Latin, isn’t it?)
