> “So where are the angry crowds, the demonstrations, sit-ins and unruly mobs?”

Back in the 1960s, they were fighting to keep themselves from being drafted. They were strongly motivated by self-interest.

Today, with no draft and massive youth unemployment, they are living in their parents basement honing their Xbox and Wii skills, running through their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits. Put their asses on the line? For what?

The older unemployed and young people with responsibilities are too busy trying to bring in enough money to pay the bills and keep their families off the street, and are too old and/or experienced to waste their time playing other people’s make-believe politics for free. Modern-day “angry crowds, demonstrations, sit-ins and unruly mobs” are non-union day laborers bussed in by the unions to demonstrate in front of the MSM cameras. Sure, unions don’t take care of their unemployed. They won’t even pay them to picket anymore, because non-union protesters are cheaper. And they call the business-owners corrupt.
