Elizabeth Warren Takes Credit for ‘Intellectual Foundation’ of Occupy Wall Street

Massachusetts Senate candidate, activist, and former Obama adviser Elizabeth Warren is now taking credit for the Occupy Wall Street movement, according to The Daily Beast.
“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “I support what they do.”
Daily Beast writer Samuel P. Jacobs explains: “Warren’s boast isn’t bluster: As a professor of commercial law at Harvard and the force behind Obama’s consumer-protection bureau, Warren has been one of the most articulate voices challenging the excesses of Wall Street.”
Most Blaze readers are probably familiar with Warren as the Harvard professor who famously claimed that “there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.”
She has been described as “a guileless, fevered Marxist” by former Reagan White House political director Jeffrey Lord, and George Will once wrote that she, “clarifies the liberal project and the stakes of contemporary politics. The project is to dilute the concept of individualism.”
However, despite these claims, Samuel P. Jacobs of The Daily Beast assures his readers that “Warren is no lefty.” After all, she was a registered Republican into her 40s.
“I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore,” Warren says in The Daily Beast report. “I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.”
Warren said she decided to enter politics because she realized “I can’t just leave this to people who are going to wreck the lives of millions of American families if they get the chance,” reports Business Insider.

Did she crap on someones front stoop or push her way into a bank and try to cease its commerce?
Is she walking around with a Che sign or does she favor Mao?
Just curious. What kind of foundation did she create?

I hate ALL that they stand for. I wish the blinders to their foolishness would come off, but I won’t be living in a plastic head bubble waiting for it to happen. Even when they are shown the irrational nature of their postulations they simply ignore it because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
My Poli-Sci Professor and I went head to head, and sometimes nose to nose over the central arguments of founding intent. His rage was generally set off when he couldn’t answer the Founders own words and declarations, and he’d spout drivel the same way Warren does.
He aced me for the course. When I asked him why, he said that it was because while he didn’t agree with my positions…………drum roll……………MY ANSWER WERE RIGHT!
That tells me the bottom line. The left loons K N O W they are wrong, but won’t change their mind based on truth or facts. Agenda is all that matters to them.

Posted on October 25, 2011 at 8:03pmFor those of you who are in support of the OWS thing. ..Yes I know that you believe that they are protesting for a very good cause…like take down the federal reserve and all that bull..But do you think that the protesters really have a plan? Nope they don’t. They are just there spewing off what they have been told. and getting paid… and who do you think is behind it all.. Oh I know,..it sounds so gallant and all to go against the establishment..but this has been happening in a lot of other countries. It is funded by George Soros for the NWO and guess what?.You will have succeeded in helping him overthrow your own human rights..You will not like your human rights taken away..because if you investigate..this is what happens to everyone. Then when you try to protest again..it will be shut your mouth or you will be shut up in prison..Do you understand? You people are being played like accordians. You are just being used and will be easily disposed of. You‘d better start opening your eyes and seeing what’s happening around the world with the George Soros revolutions and see how it turns out..Not hard to do…

Posted on October 25, 2011 at 8:50pmI know angry women like her. Las tyear, when I took my two nieces Trick or Treating, a nasty betch, who looked and sounded exactly like this women, decided she was going to first touch my knife to see if it was real, then try to lift my mask to see who I was under neath. The lady actually felt she had the right to touch me, as she tried to lift the covering on my face. She said,” aren’t you a little old to be trick or treating ?” ( ewwww, this infuriates me even as I write it), not realizing I have two little girls I am taking around. I responded, I think I am too old to even be your son. Anyways, I walked away instead of making a scene, she never did get my mask up, because I moved her hand away. I find out from another neighbor later on, SHE CALLED THE COPS on me. I was irate, almost went back out to find her and give her a piece of my mind. It is people like her, like this nut job Warren, who think they have every right to intrude upon your life. They believe they are superior to others and have no problem injecting their ignorant and rude selves upon others when they disagree with them in the public setting. Just watching this video enrages me. Nobody has any right to these roads or I would be able to drive on them right now. However, my drivers license was revoked 10 years ago as they tell me driving is privilege, not a right. So what is it ?? These intellects are worthless to our society. What is it they contribute ?? They think just because they are educated…

—————————————————————–
Her answer would be that the rich turned around and blew up the roads that lead to individual success. Certainly not an individuals lack of self determination.
A few years ago I was driving along the road outside of San Diego half asleep from a long night of work, and worry over paying the bills, and listening to Glenn Beck because nothing else would stay tuned in (yeah, I used to think he was a nut job racist….boy was I wrong). He mentioned investing in gold and it got me to thinking. I found his program more often and he finally mentioned it again. I wrote down GoldLine, did some research and dumped half of my savings into it. Now I have a decent nest egg, no debts, a paid for home (I’m 37), STUFF, and real physical gold that no one can get at but me and my dad.
It was a rich man who planted the seed and pointed me in the right direction.
NOW when Beck speaks, I listen. I take his word to research EVERYTHING he’s saying, and he’s yet to be wrong as far as I can tell. He’s been center mast right about every one of these clowns.
Warren is intellectually DISHONEST, and morally bankrupt.

Posted on October 25, 2011 at 7:33pmPAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THIS WOMAN SAYS….
“Intellectual Foundation” is progressive-ese for the subversive subterfuge used to whip the masses into a rage sufficient enough to not only cause them to swallow a poison pill, but beg for it.
Were they people of integrity, they would employ intellectual honesty. That means presenting the complete truth as opposed to carefully selected and massaged portions of the truth. It means having faith in your fellow man’s ability to arrive at a thoughtful and moral conclusion.
The progressives have no such faith in man. Instead, they offer an appearance of freedom. They withhold and massage truth in a manner that ensures that “democratic” choices always call for their predetermined action.
America, these progressives are your new Nobles. As they call for the heads of a rich aristocracy, remember they they have already determined they personally become the new aristocracy.
Our restoration to the land of the free (which could be generations away), requires a deeply internalized belief in our founding principles.
