Wal*Mart Protesters: Intellectual Elites Lose
December 22, 2005 | By Jack Yoest
Paul Johnson
Forbes MagazinePaul Johnson describes an intellectual as someone who loves all humanity; it's people they don't like. The latest Anti-Wal*Mart protest reveals intellectual indifference to kids.
At Christmas.
The Washington Times reports on protesters who invaded Wal*Mart, dressed as Santa Claus and his elves:
[U]nion-sponsored protesters handed out empty, gift-wrapped boxes to children and made them cry...[T]he arrests of...the protesters may have been ...a ...strategy designed by Big Labor-backed WakeUpWalMart.com.
WakeUpWalMart is a new class of union thugs. Intellectual elite thugs.
If your product, or service -- or protest -- makes kids cry, you have a questionable corporate strategy.
Merry Christmas.

Jack, If you ever get out to Ft Hood/Killeen Texas I would love it if you could drop in with a power point speech for our quarterly OPD.
I stumbled upon your blog from Charmaine's (The site of you at Ft Bragg prompted a further investigation).
God bless you and your family

Jack,
Modern Times by Paul Johnson is one of my favorite books.

Terry, Most intellectuals in Your Nation's Capital have Modern Times on the bookshelves.
The diffence is that you've actually read that thick book.
Best,
Jack

David, I just wish Johnson was as loyal to his wife as his readership is loyal to him.
Thanks,
Jack
