Posted on February 1, 2012 at 3:37amOWS Sets New Lows, Eyes Chicago
What began last September in New York City as a complaint against unemployment and greed by some unemployed and student loan-burdened young people has long since been transformed by radical revolutionaries worldwide.
Since that transformation, President Barack Hussein Obama’s favorite protesters have repeatedly established new lows in uncivilized behavior. Characterized by his own Washington Post as the most polarizing president to ever sit in the White House, The Anointed One “ain’t seen nothing yet” when it comes to polarization.
In recent weeks, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) anarchists have devolved from almost-comical whiners into residents of rat-infested enclaves in the nation’s capital, throwing bricks and Bibles at police and urinating on a crucifix in San Francisco, using storm drains as toilets in Charlotte, tossing condoms at Catholic high school girls in Providence, and rioting and burning American flags in Oakland.
That’s not the half of the atrocities they have committed.
And, true to form, Obama’s MSM reports next to none of it and the president has refused to condemn even the rioting flag-burners. However, all those sick stories and more have been reported on such non-mainstream websites as Drudge.com and PatDollard.com.
It’s almost as if Obama’s MSM is censoring the news and Obama supports the anarchy. Imagine that!
In a farcically desperate attempt to characterize the Occupy Move

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 12:32amOakland is the home base of Van Jones. This is a STORM driven wing of the movement, and with such a militant controlling the oakland animals, it will be more violent. This is going to blow, and soon…
As for them “changing”, I believe this whole panel made a massive mistake in their analysis. Krugman, Obama, and the like don‘t BELIEVE what they’re saying, they believe that their LIES ARE NECESSARY to bring about their desired goal of globalist communism/progressivism. Collectivists MUST lie, because they know free people will always reject them if they are honest. So they lie, cheat, sneak, steal, murder, anything for their zealous cause…

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 5:47pmTo The Blaze, with all due respect:
You’re treading thin ice when you make the case that government should operate based on “common sense” without a foundation in idealist core beliefs. Our Founders were idealists. Feudalism works. It has always worked. Slavery works. It has always worked. What Occupiers want CAN WORK. The question is, do we want a system that works, or do we want a system that reflects our values?
Systems don’t inherently bring poverty or prosperity. Systems reflect specific values. If we value liberty, whether we go into a depression, a recession or any kind of economic downturn, we shouldn’t be looking for authoritarianism from our government as a response. If you’re not fighting to defend the values, the ideals that you believe in. If you’re not striving on behalf of principles that you adhere to, you’re a populist and might as well just go whichever way the political winds blow.
OWS isn’t wrong for striving to make some ideal come true, and that isn’t why Oakland is destitute. Hell, most of them aren’t there to make an ideal come to fruition anyway. They’re simply there to win, to justify their destructive choices. Failure threatens them with confronting their choices. If we oppose them, the only moral reason to do so is because we have contrary ideals that we’re unwilling to compromise. Find your foundation and stand on it, or be accountable for the fact that you’re a populist.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 6:45pmOWS is wrong because they break their own ‘values’, they dont respect others positions only their own, they have absolutely zero credibility with the real ‘99’ in this country because of their latent disrespect.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 11:09pmMy point is that OWS isn’t wrong for having ideals. They have ideals, just as we have ideals. Don’t we? If we don’t have ideals, than what are we doing? They’re wrong because their ideals are wrong. Their ideals are wrong because we believe our ideals are right. We either believe in our ideals and stand on them or we have no moral high ground and no reason to oppose OWS so vehemently.
What are we? What are we about? Are we not about standing up for the idea that our rights come from God and that no establishment of man has the moral authority to take them away? Are we not about Life, Liberty, Property, and the Pursuit of Happiness?
The reason OWS is wrong is because they don’t believe these things and they believe that if they can do it, that changing our country to adopt a different identity is perfectly ok. They believe that the means are justified by the ends, and that the ends will be justified simply by attaining them. Winning is their justification for what they want. If they win, they’re justified.
This conversation among the “Real News” is an example of what our dialogue can not be. We can not say: They‘re wrong because they’re impractical. A lot of things can be practical and still not be right. We must say, they‘re wrong because what they stand for is wrong and we’re right because what we stand for is right. If we don’t have that conviction, we have no place disputing theirs.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 4:51pmWow while I am not an occupier I have some young employees who go on their days off. I have sort of a feel for their message and actually it is close to why I joined the Tea Party.
I am shocked that as republicans we are not also concerned the Banks and financial institutions have bought out gov and our rights.
I am getting involved in a fight that was actually brought to my attention by the culprits asking for my support. A couple of Billionaires are trying to get voters to approve of them buying the rights to our water supply.
I am shocked that as conservatives we are not concerned with democracy. OWS is not my concern. The Tea Party is never going to have my support again. I want My republican party back.
I am very Christian and I hope you realize as Christians Hate is not acceptable.

It is the ultimate distraction as well, odumbo will be able to do anything and everything unoticed while his minions riots from coast to coast. I predict a person or family will end up ki lled by OWS this will be the fuse where we take matters into our own hands. Odumbo then executes marshal law. Get ready folks, 5 dollar gas and riots will fuel the ultimate fire storm and maybe true civil war.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 5:11pmLet OWS implode. Conservatives and the Tea Parties should keep OWS at arm’s length. OWS’ organizers and supporters are salivating for the Tea Parties to join in. Bill Ayers, Wade Rathke and Steven Lerner have been begging their followers to bring the tea parties in. Why? The reason is two-fold and typically repitllian and leftist in nature. They want the legitimacy the proximity to the tea parties would give them and they want to spark an incident. They know the complicit media will then pick up the ball and manufacture a story besmirching and denigrating the tea parties. Make no mistake OWS is dead. What you’re seeing is the familiar old anarchists and leftists doing their usual “collapse the system” kabuki dance. OWS hasn’t grown, and it hasn’t garnered public support so to remain in the media they must get more disruptive and violent. They will seek out GOP and Tea Party events this year to spark an incident. Stay vigilant and take Napoleon’s advice…”never interrupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake”.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 3:23pmHere is a OWS Dude. He’s the guy on the street with the nose rings, the dreadlocks and the lice. He‘s the guy in Starbucks making coffee because it’s the only job he can get with his degree in Art History. He doesn’t always have money for rent or food but he always has money for weed. He rents a dingy studio apartment with a window on the sidewalk level. Bums sleep on his steps and pee on his sidewalk window. He doesn’t seem to care. He doesn’t even notice the smell. He‘s the guy that rides a bicycle everywhere he goes because he can’t afford a car. He has to keep replacing the bicycle because people like him keep stealing it. He has no mechanical skills. He has no administrative skills. He has no trade. He is a vegan, too weak from malnutrition to work at any kind of physical labor job; not that he would take one anyway as tha…t kind of work is beneath him. He despises the military and law enforcement. He has an upside down American flag taped to his sidewalk window… right next to his marijuana flag. He hangs out with other leftwing losers who blame their innumerable failures in life on people they’ve never met and know nothing about. He’s always borrowing money from someone but never pays them back. He gives them some weed instead. He’s never contributed time or money to any civic project yet he constantly criticizes his community. He fully immerses himself in anything leftwing.

Report Post »Despite his leftist fervor, he is always on the outside looking in. He‘s a loser and even the leftwing losers that tolerate him think he’s a loser. He’s never been able to become part of their leftist clique, no matter how much he bashes America. When he gets old and is unable to support himself he will turn to welfare. He is a parasite. When his life is over he will have contributed nothing but hatred and bigotry to the world. He will be buried in a state owned lot at the taxpayers expense. Maybe one or two of his dealers or customers will stop by for the funeral service. So long OWS bum.

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 3:58pmEven these anarchists and marxists know that having spent a few years in college majoring in “womens’…sorry…”womyns’ studies“ and ”the dialectics of hegemony” that they have next to no chance of finding credible employment. Their delusions and militancy took precedence over preparing for a well paying career. So getting someone else to pay them is the only option they find themselves with. They’re angry because as they leave the cocoon of academia (and the support group of anarchists and marxists there) they run into the reality of life. They’re self applauding elitists who -as we’ve seen time and time again- “know better than us” and we should just listen to them and obey them. Take Obama’s recent reaction to a women telling him her engineer husband cannot find work for well over a year…“interesting” says the professorial, liberal-elitist Obama…like the woman and her husband are an experiment in a petrie dish. Make no mistake though..OWS is dead, what we’re seeing is the hardline anarchists and marxists that existed already. Sure..they’re emboldened by the media attention (and the coddling by democrats) but OWS isn’t growing and has no credible public support. As I’ve stated before, history teaches us that when these anarchists stall they seek to be more disruptive and violent to keep media attention. We’re seeing this played out right now like a living text book on leftist history.
