Leftists Busy Organizing 99% Spring Protests

February 28, 2012 3 Comments

If one were to listen to the mainstream media you would think Occupy Wall Street has gone away. But for a handful of violent clashes with police, the OWS movement has moved out of the headlines. Last year the media didn’t warn the country about the impending Wall Street protests organized far in advance by Stephen Lerner of SEIU, Van Jones and others. They then pretended like the movement was organic, suddenly popping up out of nowhere. Never mind that the left was on record concerning their plans to protest banks, investment houses and the rich generally. The media is pulling the same stunt again.

OWS is set to return April 9th with something called a “99% Spring.” This supposedly non-violent week of protests is being organized by a who’s who of leftists and leftist organizations. The UAW, Moveon.org, Engage, Progressive  Democrats of America, Van Jones, Sarita Gupta etc. These folks are planning for massive protests throughout the country during the week of April 9th. Yet the media is going to portray the protests as an organic, spontaneous event. Never mind that the left issued a press release on the subject on February 15th and has spent many months organizing the protests.

It appears the UAW is taking the lead in organizing the 99% Spring. This is interesting in light of the fact that the UAW was the biggest beneficiary of Obama’s car industry bailout. The UAW isn’t the only one organizing this though as several George Soros funded organizations such as moveon.org are also organizing.

While the 99% Spring rhetoric is peaceful and points towards Martin Luther King’s non-violent protests, we must not forget the violence of Occupy Wall Street. What the OWS folks are doing with the 99% Spring is trying to avoid a violent meltdown similar to 1968. It seems unlikely given the violence of OWS and the racism and anti-Semitism also found at OWS protests. They can talk about non-violence until they’re blue in the face, the fact is OWS was violent and many of the 99% Spring organizers have advocated violence in the past. In short, non-violence is just a buzz word meant to placate people who aren’t really paying attention. It means nothing to the organizers.

The whole point of this movement is to overthrow the American government as we know it. They want to enforce socialism, if not outright Marxism. Last year OWS at times advocated killing capitalists and in the very least sought to demonize anyone with money. Well, anyone with money not associated with them. George Soros is a good rich guy, so are rich Hollywood leftists. All the other guys are evil.

When the 99% Spring begins, all organized by the UAW, Van Jones and any number of other leftists, the media will act shocked by the grassroots nature of it all. They’ll be amazed at how much these protesters care. The truth is that just like OWS, the 99% Spring will be nothing more than a highly organized protest meant to bring chaos to the streets and push the country towards totalitarian socialism. The media won’t tell you that but if you follow what these people are, how they’re organizing and what they’re goals are it becomes very clear. The far left has a formula, they’re up front about it if you dig around a little bit. The dirty secret is that OWS and the 99% Spring are nothing but an organized astro-turf protest.

OWS West Coast Blockade Will Destroy The Middle Class

December 12, 2011 Leave a comment

The Occupy Wall Street organizers are planning a shutdown of west coast ports today. OWS was marginally successful in shutting down the Oakland port earlier this year. Whether they can manage to shut down ports from San Diego to Vancouver via protest blockades remains to be seen. Their goal is to attack corporate profits. In reality their actions, if successful, will do nothing but hurt your average employee.

Keri Koch (presumably not related to the evil Koch Brothers) of Shut Down the Ports Working Group of Occupy Portland (only the left would come up with a name like that and proudly list it on their resumes) had this to say about the port blockade:

We will not stand for corporate profits at the expense of working people, we will not stand for attacks on workers, and we will not allow our schools to be closed, social services slashed, and families to be impoverished by your greed!

The boogie man of corporate profits is ever so amusing. I wonder if Miss Koch could provide us the names of schools that are being closed but would otherwise be open but for corporate profits. In fact, one wonders how she makes the connection between corporate profits and governments closing schools or cutting “social services.” The two really don’t have anything directly to do with each other. But it’s a nice sound bite that makes it look like corporate profits are to blame for all the problems of the world when in reality the problem isn’t corporate profits but government.

But let’s look beyond Miss Koch’s absurd connections and look at what the end result would be of a successful blockade of the west coast. We can only assume that a successful blockade would last more than a single day as OWS has tried to occupy parks for weeks and months on end. Who would be hurt if the west coast suffered a total blockade? No doubt corporate profits would be hurt as companies wouldn’t be able to ship goods and raw materials overseas nor would they be able to receive goods and raw materials from overseas. So the blockade would be successful in destroying corporate profits.

However in destroying corporate profits the left would destroy all manufacturing that is dependant on west coast shipping. Unable to use the west coast to ship, American manufacturers would have no place to ship their finished or partially finished goods or raw materials to China, Japan, Thailand or anywhere else in Asia. Who would that hurt? American workers of course. It would shut down factories, plants and mines across the country. It would substantially hurt farming. It would hurt the entire shipping industry. American workers, farmers, laborers and longshoremen would lose their jobs because their companies would have no means to ship goods or receive goods to produce products.

But of course it doesn’t stop there. Not only would people directly reliant on shipping via the west coast be hurt but so would all of those who are indirectly reliant. The local grocery store, fast food restaurant, clothing stores, lawyers, accountants and a host of other people would lose money and/or jobs because their customers or clients in the manufacturing or farming sector would lose theirs. Most of these people are the 99% that OWS claims to be protesting for.

There are unintended consequences concerning the west coast blockade that the average person needs to think about before supporting it. The goal of OWS is to create chaos to force “change” (read: socialism) on America. No doubt a complete blockade of the west coast would create chaos, which ought to make us suspicions of whether or not OWS leaders have thought about the consequences of their actions. They probably have and they don’t care how many people lose their jobs. In fact, they’ll argue the more who lose their jobs the better because it creates more chaos and anger. But before rank and file Democrats or college students hop on board with occupying the west coast, think about how many millions will lose their jobs if the west coast is shut down. This isn’t about corporate profits, it’s about middle class jobs. OWS is trying to destroy the middle class in the name of destroying corporate profits.

Pelosi Proposes Federal Control of Child Care.

November 21, 2011 3 Comments

It’s no secret that the left wants to control everyone from cradle to grave. Lately leftist Democrats have more or less come out and admitted as such. Nancy Pelosi recently declared that if she becomes Speaker again she wants to do to child care what the Democrats did to healthcare. Several weeks ago Sen. Richard Blumenthal demanded a stimulus for diapers and other diapering supplies. Essentially the Senator wants to subsidize one of the major costs of having a baby. In short, the far left wants the government to have an increasingly large roll in our lives from the moment we’re born.

Pelosi’s proposal is perhaps the more outrageous of the two. She seeks to move us closer and closer to the European Democratic Socialist model of government and family life. In much of Europe, children are shipped off to government daycare before they’re able to walk. Parenting is more or less limited to evening playtime. The rest of the day the child is under the control of government daycare workers. Essentially children spend more time under the control of government than they do with their parents in a good part of Europe, particularly in Scandinavia which the American left loves so much.

You may say what’s the difference between this and the hoards of private daycare facilities that parents (unfortunately) trot their kids off to today? One of the biggest complaints of the left is that they don’t get to influence children before they start kindergarten. As such they’re trying to get control over children before they start school. Why? Because they’re trying to effectively turn them into little socialists. The earlier they can get these kids the better. As such, in the past two decades you’ve seen more calls for government funded pre-school and other early educational programs. Now you have Pelosi calling for government daycare. The left wants control of kids and they want that control before the kids can even speak so they can influence them.

What Pelosi and other leftists are pushing is just an extension of what John Dewey and Horace Mann pushed concerning government education in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The goal of Dewey, Mann and other progressives was to separate children from their traditional Christian faith and the traditional view of the Constitution, founding and our nation generally. They sought to do this via government education. Keep in mind, the goal of government education has never been about education. It’s been about forcing a progressive outlook on the next generation. Go back and look at Dewey and Mann’s outlook as well as other education progressives of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Government education has been largely successful at moving the nation to the far left. Pelosi is seeking to move things to the next level. That’s why the next great leftist crisis in America is going to be childcare. We’ll be bombarded with all sorts of trumped up statistics and sob stories. Then the left will demand we “do something” about this crisis. Pelosi and assorted leftists will be waiting in the wings for some grand childcare plan that Federalizes the entire industry and brings control of it to Washington.

We should be very wary of any attempt to give children over to the government from the time they’re born. The government ought not be trusted with such control or power. They’ve already shown themselves to be incompetent educators (unless you have a progressive outlook, then the test scores don’t matter) and they’ve shown themselves to unable to do much of anything with any competence. When the left starts crying about a childcare crisis, we need to be prepared to step up and counter this nonsense. We must never forget that their goal is socialism and they’ll use our kids to further their goals. Unless of course they can’t get their hands on them.

Why Is The Federal Government Involved In School Lunches?

November 16, 2011 Leave a comment

Absurdity has gripped Washington. This isn’t a shock to most people but it’s become more absurd recently. We all know Michele Obama has spent the last three years pushing the typical far left health food kick. Controlling what people eat has always been a goal of the far left, Hitler, Stalin and the EU have all sought to control people’s diet. That Mrs. Obama believes it’s her responsibility to target American children in order to ”get their palates adjusted” is no surprise. The far left not only wants to control our diet but they’re going to target children. This again is typical of the far left, Mrs. Obama is behaving just like one would expect a leftist to behave.

The real kicker though is the Republican Congress. They’re pushing back against the Obama administration’s healthy school lunch programs. The GOP Congress wants pizza and french fries to be included in the school lunch program. They want tomato paste to remain a vegetable, whereas the Obama administration wants it labeled something else. The Republicans have some very good points. Children don’t eat the healthy food they’re given the end result of which is a lot of waste. The House GOP doesn’t want Washington to dictate what children eat for lunch.

These are all good points but they miss the overriding question. Why is the Federal government involved in school lunches at all? The Federal government spends billions subsidizing school lunches and regulating what all children eat at school. Why? How is this any of the Federal government’s business? The Federal government has no business subsiding school lunches, which of course means subsidizing large food manufacturers and distributors. The GOP Congress is being swayed not just by the absurdity of the Obama administration’s position or on principle. The GOP Congress is being swayed by tomato farmers, salt manufacturers and frozen pizza manufacturers. You can bet that the Obama administration and Democrats are being lobbied by whatever large farming conglomerate is providing all of the supposedly healthy school food kids don’t eat.

This is a perfect example of Washington gone wild. This is not a Federal issue. There is no constitutional basis for the Federal government to declare what is and isn’t acceptable in a school lunch. In fact, education is an entire area that the Federal government has no constitutional basis to regulate. Schools lunches are at best a state and local issue. In reality, they’re something that parents should be responsible for, not the government. Why exactly are government schools in the food service industry in the first place? The fact is, parents should provide their own kids lunch. Brown bagging lunch would save taxpayers a fortune.

But of course Republicans won’t take a principled stand like this unless they’re running for Congress the first time or at a Tea Party event. Once they get to Washington they’re swayed by lobbyists, just like the Democrats. The only difference is that the big government proposals the Democrats offer are in lock step with what they believe. The GOP has to pretend to support a small Federal government in order to get elected. It makes their regulation of school lunches, however lax in comparison to the Obama administration’s, all the more insidious.

OWS Kicked Out Of Zuccotti Park For A Moment

November 15, 2011 Leave a comment

As we have stated before, the Occupy Wall Street protests are little more than a highly organized and planned left-wing event. The goal is to create chaos so that the left can further take over by protecting the middle class from the chaotic rabble. This has happened in other countries successfully, apparently the left thinks it can work here. The OWS protesters have been caught defecating on the streets and disease is common place. In Vermont and California there have been murders. In Cleveland there was a rape and there have been numerous reports of sexual assault at OWS encampments.

Last night after nearly two months New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg finally cleared Zuccotti Park. Nearly 1,000 cops were needed to clear the park. Around 70 anarchists were arrested. Bloomberg is about two months late in evicting these people. As it stands, the city is going to clean the park before letting the OWS rabble back in. This time they allegedly won’t be able to pitch tents in the park. We’ll see how long that rule lasts.

Since September, OWS has resulted in over 3,000 arrests, two murders, at least one rape, multiple sexual assaults, multiple theft crimes and disease. OWS has included multiple examples of mass anti-Semitism. It’s cost cities and local governments tens of millions in police and other security and clean up. Yet the mainstream press glosses over all of the crime, all of the cost and all of the negatives. The mainstream press pretends like these are heroic kids fighting for a cause. We’ll of course have to pretend that those kids actually know what they’re fighting for as it’s been clear throughout that the kids on the ground don’t really know why they’re there.

It’s been interesting watching the mainstream media bias in action. They’ve glossed over all of the negatives with OWS, claiming that the violence and racist statements are only from the fringe. Yet with the Tea Party the press declared that organizers were responsible for everything that was said or done at the rallies. Newsbusters has a good rundown of quotes from the New York Times dismissing the OWS violence and racism as fringe while declaring the Tea Party responsible for everything that happens at their rallies. Bias in media is real and this is the perfect example.

It should be interesting to see what happens to OWS in the next few months. If Bloomberg sticks to his no tents declaration, once winter sets in OWS at Zuccotti Park is all but done. There has been talk of a spring offensive. The far left has exposed itself via OWS as not really being the peace loving hipsters they’ve pretended. The very language of their movement is violent and war like. They likely argue that they are fighting a war. But that is a message that doesn’t go over well with the majority of the 99% who just want law and order to rule the day. In any event, it ought to be interesting to see how the leftists regroup after winter. Perhaps next spring they’ll institute a no rape rule or perhaps a no defecating on the streets rule.

OWS Supported By Radicals; Is No Tea Party

November 1, 2011 Leave a comment

A list of Occupy Wall Street supporters is making it’s way around the internet. The list of OWS supporters includes the American Nazi Party, Communist Party USA, Revolutionary Communist Party, Black Panters, Nation of Islam, CAIR, the Ayatollah Khamenei, Hezbollah, the Communist governments of North Korea and China, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and the Marxist Student Union. This isn’t simply a group of dumb, smelly hippies who want a job after they graduate as the media is portraying them. It’s a group of radical, extreme leftists and anti-Semites.

This is not the leftist version of the Tea Party. In fact, it isn’t like the Tea Party at all. The Tea Party sought to work within in the system to cut government spending and defeat (now repeal) Obamacare. OWS doesn’t seek to work within the system, the openly seek revolution which would mean eliminating our current system and replacing it entirely. The Tea Party rallies weren’t so much about protesting as much as they were about networking. The Tea Party rallies of 2009 saw less attendance in 2010 but more political involvement because of the networking done the previous year. The Tea Party doesn’t need to hold massive rallies these days, all their work is being done behind the scenes.

The total number of arrests at Tea Party rallies across the nation was 0. There have been over 2,700 arrests at OWS protests. There were no rapes or acts of violence at any Tea Party. There have been over a dozen reported so far at OWS. There were no robberies, no one had anything stolen at Tea Party rallies. At OWS there have been consistent complaints of food, computers, cell phones and cameras being stolen. Most recently a deaf man was raped at OWS in New York.

So these rallies aren’t the Tea Party at all. In fact, they’re the opposite of the Tea Party. They’re lawless, revolutionary and they don’t go home after a couple hours. OWS protesters are busy listening to Communist professors like Alex Callinicos who told the crowd that violence could only be avoided if the so-called 1% obeyed the 99%, which he alleged would never happen. In other words, Callinicos is telling OWS protesters to prepare for violence. This fits perfectly with the list of OWS supporters, most of which endorse armed revolution.

Now that it’s getting cold out only the most diehard leftists remain. The trust fund college students and other assorted college students have largely left the Wall Street protest. What’s left are the homeless bumming organic chicken dinners off of George Soros and the most diehard, extremist left-wing elements. Yet the media will not report this. The media will not tell you that radical Communist groups are actively supporting OWS. They won’t tell you that radical Islamic socialist groups are supporting OWS. They certainly won’t tell you that the Nazi’s and David Duke are supporting OWS. They’re hiding the truth and they’re lying to the American people by drawing a direct line between OWS and the Tea Party.

OWS in the short term will be a failure. It’s going to die out once it really gets cold in New York. If there is more violence, Obama and the Democrats stand to lose big time because they’re on record supporting the protests. In the long run though, we on the right should be deeply concerned. The left has always been better organized than we have been. OWS shows us just how organized they are. These guys are capable of organizing massive nation and worldwide protests and they’re capable of making them appear to be organic, grassroots efforts. It ought to make us all wonder what the organizers of OWS have in store for spring 2013.

If The People Don’t Have Bread Let Them Eat Organic Chicken!

October 28, 2011 2 Comments

There is a revolt under way at the Occupy Wall Street protests. No, the radical leftist revolutionaries haven’t started an actual revolt yet. But their kitchen staff has. Yes, OWS does in fact have a kitchen staff, something one would have thought would be reserved for the 1%, not the 99%. The poor kitchen staff is apparently stuck working 18 hours a day and they feel underappreciated. They’re also tired of feeding the “professional homeless” and “ex-cons masquerading as protesters.” No, I am not making this up.

The revolt began Wednesday when the kitchen staff only served, gasp, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at a staff meeting. Yesterday the revolt escalated as only sandwiches and chips were served. It will continue today when only brown rice and other “spartan” grub is served. One would have thought this would be what the kitchen staff served in the first place. In fact they normally serve organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese and roasted beet and sheep’s milk cheese salad. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

The irony of all of this is incredible. These leftists claim to be protesting for the lower class and the middle class yet they look down on the “professional homeless” who presumably they’re protesting for. They don’t want to give up their food for the homeless or ex-cons, they want to selfishly keep it. Isn’t this what they accuse bankers and billionaires of doing? Beyond that, the protesters themselves are treating the kitchen staff just as poorly as they accuse big business of treating employees. These people are hypocrites in the extreme.

The menu is mind boggling. Who knew that protesters needed more than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? The menu is something I would expect to find on the dinner table of someone in the 1%. Organic chicken and vegetables, who can afford organic chicken? Bolognese isn’t exactly cheap, have you seen the price of beef these days? Roasted beet and sheep milk cheese salad sounds like a dish on at a high end restaurant that caters to rich middle aged women after they have a spa morning.

The OWS crowd is overrun with hypocrisy and inconsistency. Their kitchen menu exposes any number of things about them. First, they’re very clearly being funded by someone with deep pockets. (read: George Soros) None of what they’re serving on a regular basis is cheap. Someone is paying for it, in fact someone had to be prepared to pay for it up front. The cost of the food they’re using proves, yet again, that OWS is a planned endeavor and not an organic, grass roots uprising.

Second, that these kids are demanding high end food and the kitchen staff believes that they’ll be showing them up by serving sandwiches and brown rice says something about the crowd. If you’re really lower class, such as the “professional homeless” the kitchen staff complains about, you’ll take what you’re given and be grateful for it. That the kitchen staff expects to sticking it to someone by serving sandwiches means that those kids are demanding high end food. It shows us that they aren’t coming from the lower class themselves but are likely coming from the upper middle and upper classes. Which means the protesters are largely a bunch of dumb kids and frauds.

The irony of all of this is rich though. The OWS protesters and leaders are treating their kitchen staff worse than the billionaires they hate so much. The kitchen staff and OWS leaders don’t want to have to give their loot over to the “professional homeless” and “ex-cons” that want it. Isn’t that what they demand billionaires and wicked bankers do, ie: give up their loot to those who don’t have it? The hypocrisy is priceless.

OWS Descending Into Anti-Semetic Chaos

October 27, 2011 Leave a comment

The Occupy Wall Street protests are descending into chaos, which is their goal. In Boston, Occupiers were arrested for selling heroin. In Oakland protesters clashed with police for no legitimate reason. As has been typical of leftists over the last century, they’re blaming the Jews for all the world’s problems. Anti-Semitism is showing its ugly head at OWS protests. SEIU’s Stephen Lerner talked about targeting banks, specifically Chase Bank, last spring. His plan is being implemented as Chase has been the target of protests from the OWS crowd.

Make no mistake, all of this is being planned. You can read the archives of this blog, it’s clear that the left was planning a massive astro-turf street movement. It’s clear they were going to target Wall Street and banks. Their goal is to create chaos so that middle class Americans will demand state action to stop it. The leftists of course will rise up and stop it and then move the nation further into European socialism. These people are seeking a new world order.

Make no mistake, this is worldwide. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that American leftists so strongly supported the Arab Spring uprisings? Isn’t it odd that George Soros funded groups like Code Pink would be so supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas? Isn’t it odd that radical Muslim group CAIR is protesting at the OWS protests in New York? This is a global movement being orchestrated by radical leftists. It’s being funded by billionaires like George Soros, who apparently is the good kind of Wall Street billionaire according to OWS leftists.

These people don’t seek freedom, they seek socialism. They want the government to pay for their student loans, Obama is more than happy to do so to buy their votes. They want government to guarantee what they call a living wage. Depending on who you talk to, that may mean $20/hour. Never mind of  course that at that wage millions will lose their jobs and prices will rise rendering the so-called living wage irrelevant. These leftists want socialist healthcare and massive government spending. They want higher taxes, as though taxing someone else will somehow make their own lives better.

What these people don’t want is personal responsibility. They don’t want freedom, they don’t want free enterprise. The kids protesting in the street are nothing more than useful idiots. They’re acting like fools thinking they’re doing something good for themselves and the country. In the end, they’re expendable stooges that the creators of OWS will cast aside when they have a chance to seize power. As an example of the left doing just this, Hitler gained power in Germany through his band of street thugs in the SA. Once he obtained power the SA was destroyed and its leaders murdered.

The problem the left is going to face is that the American public doesn’t usually flock to Democrats for law and order. Obama is already down in the polls, his support for a violent OWS movement isn’t going to be viewed favorable by voters. It surely wasn’t in 1968 or 1972 for the Democrats. It begs the question what the OWS leaders goals really are. Are they focusing on the 2012 election or is this a preview of the next four years as the radicals focus on 2016? Or do these people not care about elections at all? Or perhaps do they theorize that a complete global economic collapse will actually aid Obama’s re-election? It’s hard to say what goal they have in sight in the short run.

We do however know what their long run goals are. The radical left wants socialism. They want a top down economy run from Washington. They want socialist health care, free college education, extremely high taxes and a stifling business environment. They hate America and the freedom that the Constitution gives individuals. They seek an expansive Federal government and reduced personal freedom. You just have to listen to the leaders of these groups speak. It’s clear as day if you care to know the truth.

OWS Supports Violence, Confronted With Wealth Redistribution

October 18, 2011 Leave a comment

The Occupy Wall Street protesters want to redistribute wealth from the rich to the so-called 99%. Interestingly they don’t take to kindly to thieves in their ranks who want to redistribute wealth within the protest community. Says one protester:

“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.

“I had my Mac stolen — that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”

The poor dear doesn’t understand that within the protesters she’s the top 1%, what with her laptop and kitchen budget. That expensive laptop needed to be redistributed among the 99%.

The protesters whine that “crafty cat burglars” made off with $2,500 in cash from a kitchen (I wonder if it’s up to NYC’s tough code) while so-called volunteers slept. Once again, is this not the same redistribution of wealth that the protesters demand? What’s the difference between government confiscating money and a “crafty cat burglar?” These protesters are whining about the thefts but they don’t see the irony of their whining. It’s funny  how private property suddenly becomes important when the property is yours and not someone elses.

In other Occupy Wall Street news, a video of a protester screaming and yelling to the point of nearly crying on camera went viral last weekend. It turns out the little brat, who hates Wall Street so, is actually a Columbia Grad student named Edward T. Hall III. He is a trust fund baby. I wonder if the little fool with his Ivy League education understands that the people running his precious trust fund are associated with, if not in fact working directly on, Wall Street. It makes you wonder how many more of the Occupiers are trust fund babies. The crowd is lily white, full of kids dressed in hobo chic clothes from the Gap, Old Navy and other such places. The kids all seem to have expensive iphones and computers (see above story on thefts). These kids aren’t poor by any means, they’re just playing poor on tv.

While it’s fun to mock the trust fund protesters and the ironic redistribution of wealth among the protesters, there is some very disturbing polling coming out from the protests. A poll was done among the New York Protesters, which found that 31% believe in violence to further their agenda. Around 98% believe in civil disobedience. Only 15% of the protesters are unemployed, so they as a group really don’t represent the downtrodden at all. Around 52% have been involved in a political movement before, which backs up the notion that this is a planned and organized protest event.

The protesters aren’t run of the mill Americans protesting so-called wicked Wall Street. They’re subscribe to leftist viewpoints. Around 65% believe government should, no matter the cost, provide college education, healthcare and retirement for all. Interestingly for all of their attacks on banks, half of them support bank bailouts. This suggests that many of these people have no idea what they’re actually protesting. Many of the protests say they subscribe to left-wing policies but they don’t actually understand them. Free college education sounds great to a bunch of know nothing college students who don’t want to pay for school. But they don’t really understand what that means.

We should be greatly disturbed that 31% believe violence is acceptable to further their political outlook. This is, unfortunately, typical of the far left. It was unheard of for Tea Partiers to advocate violence, anyone who did would have been quickly chased away. At Occupy Wall Street, a third of them believe violence is acceptable. It’s fun to laugh at the trust fund babies and fools who confronted with what wealth redistribution really means when their Apple laptop is stolen. But at the end of the day, we can’t forget that this is a potentially violent group of radical leftists, some of whom don’t even understand what they’re fighting for. We also can’t forget that Obama supports them.

Obama Gets Behind Grotesque Occupiers

October 17, 2011 4 Comments

President Obama is embracing the Occupy Wall Street protests. He’s started using the term 99%, alleging that the grotesque occupiers represent 99% of the country. There are very clear connections between Obama and the leaders of these protests, from Van Jones and George Soros to Stephen Lerner and other union bosses. The mainstream press, even Fox News, refuse to acknowledge the connections. Now that the President is using the occupiers terms, it’s very clear that Obama is embracing them. He’s also trying to set up the 2012 election debate as Wall Street vs 99%.

Of course for Obama to get away with this he’ll need an ignorant public and a willing press. Let’s not forget that, according to Open Secrets, in 2008 Obama took in $15.8 million from Wall Street. McCain only too in $9.2 million. Wall Street wrote and lobbied for the Dodd-Frank financial reform package. We’ll also have to ignore the fact that Obama has spent the past several months touring the country going from one $30,000 a plate fundraiser to the next. Last I checked the 99% down at the Occupy protests couldn’t afford toilet paper much less a $30,000 rubber chicken dinner with the President.

Obama is desperate to cling to his power, this has become clear over the past few days. He’s in the 2012 election to win. In order to win he’s going to try to divide the country on class lines. He’s going to use Wall Street, from whom he accepted $15.8 million in donations in 2008, as his straw man to create class warfare. This isn’t the uniter he claimed to be in 2008, he’s little more than a community organizing rabble rouser who is hell bent on dividing the nation.

Whether the White House is actively involved in the Occupy protests remains to be seen. The connections are clear. It’s also clear that the people and organizations staging these events are very much supportive of Obama’s socialist agenda. The protesters themselves have little idea why they’re there, as evidenced by the fact that none of them seem to be able to explain what the point of the occupation is. They’re nothing more than useful idiots.

Wall Street is easy to hate when you’re jealous of other’s riches. But if these people were so opposed to Wall Street where were they when the financial meltdown began in 2008? Where were they in 2009 and 2010 when stock market was all over the place? Where were they when Dodd-Frank was being debated? We’re supposed to believe these people got outraged in the middle of September and felt the need to occupy and destroy a park in lower Manhattan without any organization or any connection to the White House? Give me a break.

The occupy protests began a few weeks after Obama’s jobs speech. They were planned for the last year and a half. They were originally planned for last May and were pushed back to September, likely to coordinate with the White House. This whole thing is being organized by a group of socialists and marxists who are using these moronic college students to push an agenda they don’t even understand. In fact, most of the people down there don’t even know why they’re there. And Obama is supporting them, using the term 99%. There is absolutely a connection.

In the end we have a choice in 2012. The choice is between big government and small government. Obama is attempting to set the debate as Wall Street against the 99%. He’s using the Occupy protests to do this and the media is going right along with it. Have you noticed all the positive stories about these protests, nearly one a night on every channel. The Tea Party had 9 stories during the entire year in 2009, all of them negative. So the media is completely on board with Obama and the Occupiers. We conservatives have to get the message out on our own that the choice isn’t between Wall Street and everyone else. The choice is between Obama’s big government socialism and freedom.
