Dear Occupy Wall Street People,  Don’t stop. Don’t give up.  I know it is starting to get cold. I know that you might be tired of smelling bad, and you just want to go back to your mom’s house, take a shower, jerk it to some Internet porn, watch the new season of Dexter, and just give up.  Don’t.  When this whole thing started, I dismissed it. I have seen people try to protest here in America, and it has always come off as disingenuous and pathetic. Your protests have come off as… pathetic, but totally genuine. You have made a few mistakes along the way, but that is to be expected. Just don’t make the biggest mistake you could make right now by giving up.  Don’t do it.  If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way the government will be able to ignore you. If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way the country can ignore you. If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way anyone can brand you as a bunch of whiners and losers. If you can make it through the winter in New York, you will show the world that the American Spirit is still alive and not just on the front of a pack of cigarettes. The picture above is an artist’s depiction of Valley Forge. You have all heard of Valley Forge, right? It’s just like the Boston Tea Party. It’s something we were all told about in school, but what was it really?  Valley Forge was just a bunch of people sitting around in the cold, hungry, and pissed off, and yet, Valley Forge is considered the turning point of the American Revolution. There was not battle, no heroic charge, no teary eyed guy with a wounded shoulder picking up the flag and slowly trudging forward into musket fire. It was just a bunch of people sitting around in the cold and not going home… not giving up.  Sometimes you can win a fight by just showing that you aren’t willing to give up.  Don’t give up. Don’t go home. Don’t stop before you have actually accomplished anything.  Do it for me. Do it for yourself. Do it for this Grand Experiment. In the very least, do it so that some Fox News reporters get frostbite trying to discredit you.  Thanks,  Chuck McCarthy

Dear Occupy Wall Street People, 

Don’t stop. Don’t give up. 

I know it is starting to get cold. I know that you might be tired of smelling bad, and you just want to go back to your mom’s house, take a shower, jerk it to some Internet porn, watch the new season of Dexter, and just give up. 

Don’t. 

When this whole thing started, I dismissed it. I have seen people try to protest here in America, and it has always come off as disingenuous and pathetic. Your protests have come off as… pathetic, but totally genuine. You have made a few mistakes along the way, but that is to be expected. Just don’t make the biggest mistake you could make right now by giving up. 

Don’t do it. 

If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way the government will be able to ignore you. If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way the country can ignore you. If you can make it through the winter in New York, there is no way anyone can brand you as a bunch of whiners and losers. If you can make it through the winter in New York, you will show the world that the American Spirit is still alive and not just on the front of a pack of cigarettes.

In the very least, do it so that some Fox News reporters get frostbite trying to discredit you.
