When socialist hypocrites attack
OK, just a minute on this one, ’cause it’s already old news. But I’ve been busy this week and haven’t had time to blog about it yet.
Daryl Hannah and several other tree-hugging celebs – notorious nutballs Julia Butterfly Hill, Ed Begley Jr., Joan Baez, and of course, Danny Glover, joined by Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie Sheen and Ed Harris – acted out their Socialist wet dreams this week as they tried to seize private property and reassign it to something they deemed important. Gardening. I daresay that if these “gardeners” were squatting in the back yards of these celebs’ Hollywood mansions, they’d feel differently. But no, they’re getting all John Lennon (or in this case, Lenin) about it.
Activist actress Daryl Hannah was pulled from a tree and arrested while protesting the reclamation of farmland in central Los Angeles.Hannah was among an estimated 45 people arrested Tuesday, the Los Angeles Independent Media Center said. Thirty people were chained together and attached to steel drums filled with concrete to prevent bulldozers from plowing over farm plots.
Hannah only recently learned about the farm cultivated by 350 low-income, inner-city gardeners and she said she believed protesting was the “morally right thing to do,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
The city purchased land from Ralph Horowitz in the 1980s for a garbage incinerator, but abandoned the plan after a citizen outcry. In 1992, the land was leased to a food bank, which permitted urban farmers to grow crops.
But a 2003 court battle transferred the property back to Horowitz for $5 million and he plans to use the land to build a warehouse.
Actually, the city didn’t purchase Horowitz’s land, they stole it via “eminent domain” back in the 1980s. Horowitz wound up being able to buy his own land back. And even then, he graciously allowed people (largely Hispanic immigrants) to farm on the land for the last 14 years.
At one point, he even offered to sell the land to them until they decided to steal it from him.
Horowitz had offered to sell 10 acres of the property to a non-profit group for $16.3 million so the farm could be continued, but when the group came up short, he secured an eviction order from a judge.Horowitz said that he was angered by the behavior of the farmers and protesters and that he was no longer willing to sell them the land at any price.
“I’m not real happy with this group,” he told L.A. affiliate NBC4. “Even if they raised $100 million this group could not buy this property. It’s not about money. I don’t like their cause. I don’t like their conduct. So, there’s no price that I would sell it to them for.”
How is it that they couldn’t come up with the money? I know they managed to raise quite a bit, but they still fell short. Where are the deep pockets of these Hollywood liberals? You remember, the ones who’ll walk off the set of a film if they’re not being paid enough. They’re quick to jump to the aid of these “farmers” (I wonder how many of them are illegal immigrants?) but won’t put their money where their mouths are. Instead, they’d rather act like petulant children and demand that Horowitz give up what he owns to a bunch of people who’ve already been mooching off him for over a decade.
The two main tenets of socialism are the abolition of private property and the public ownership of the “means of production.”
I guess the Hollywood elite’s behavior isn’t so surprising after all.
