Homes Torched, Signs read "F--- The Rich" (All Lose War On Wealth)
Boston Herald ^ | December 14, 2010 | Michael Graham

“If they [Republicans] think it’s OK to raise taxes for the embattled middle class. . . if we don’t give more money to millionaires, it really is time for people to take up pitchforks” - Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

On the Cape it’s not pitchforks, it’s torches.

The Cape Cod Times has the story of two recent arsons, one in Barnstable and another in Sandwich. “In both cases, the arsonist left a calling card, the message, ‘f--- the rich’ at the scene,” the Times reports.

One house was almost destroyed. At the other, a propane tank had been cut off the gas grill of a nearby home, placed in the basement and opened - releasing the gas. Upstairs was a small fire, apparently designed to ignite the propane gas. Fortunately the would-be bomber has the same level of explosives expertise as the average al-Qaeda member. Propane is heavier than air, and the would-be bomb never ignited.

But it still sent a signal, which is that at least one person on the Cape is getting Team Obama’s message loud and clear.

I realize that the “bleep-the-rich” signs could be bogus, designed to mislead investigators from some more mundane motive like insurance money. And I am also familiar with the work of leftist eco-terror groups that torch new construction and spike trees in hopes of slowing development.

But just as it’s possible that the next suicide bomber to hit Sweden may be a Lutheran named Lars and not a Muslim named Muhammad, the broader storyline would still be the same. And the storyline of the Obama era has been a barrage of unbridled class warfare.

President Barack Obama refers to those venal Americans known as “the rich” almost as often as he talks about himself (which is saying a lot). During ...

"Its all about envy, and not one bit about wealth."

"Envy", is right, but not the dictionary definition. It's much worse than that.

This answers the question as to why firearms sales skyrocketed under Obama.

I can just about guarantee that those from Cape Cod are mostly Obama supporters.

Leave it to a leftist to target the wrong crowd.

"Tax the Rich. Feed the poor, till there are no rich no more."

And Ten Years After, the poor will be poorer, and living in a slave state. Intelligent welfare recipients know their bread and butter are the rich, so to maintain an insignificant life on the public dole, it is necessary to promote prosperity. ...All economics are trickle down, and the more money there is to trickle down, the better.

Sure would be nice if McCaskill could be indicted for inciting this crap.

The good news for the seekers of absolute equality is that they are all equal over the sights of my FAL. And that’s one area where I really, really strive for ‘equality of outcome’.

See - that ‘equality’ thingy isn’t so bad after all.

I hope the next lefty finds a welcoming committee of armed home owners

That would be our neighborhood un-welcoming committee. We'll throw a party in their honor.

A little to long for a .sig, but a superbly delicious quote.

Equality is for insects. Exceptionalism is for mankind.

An effect of the Left’s war on America.
