The Difference Is Day and Night

By Dr. Thomas Sowell

The current occupy wall street movement is the best illustration to date of what barack hussein obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.

I know I'd listen to anyone brave enough to wear THAT outfit in public; and whats'up with the Red Star? Tinkerbelle? Texaco?

Commies & Marxists & Thugs Oh MY!!!

The Communist Revolution, Unions, #OWS & The Power of the 99% in 2012

Not that this should be surprising since Marxists have been behind and involved with in the #OccupyWallSt movement since Day One when the September protests began, but the Neo-Coms in the unionized #OWS movement are now getting more formal advice from their philosophical mentors, the Communist Party USA.

Of course we're told that the #OWS movement is just a "spontaneous" outpouring of anger by ordinary Americans.

There will be unicorns and lollipops in the main foyer.

*UPDATED* #OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far

*UPDATED* #OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far

***Updated 11/4/2011– Today we hit incident 142.

One of the secret weapons the corrupt mainstream media uses in their never-ending quest to Palace Guard for the left is context. For example, when it came to the Tea Party, the MSM was notorious for amplifying a single incident (that was usually a lie) and using it to attempt to smear and define an entire movement. This is what you do when you want to quickly take out a political enemy.

The MSM’s contextual game changes, however, when their desire is to strengthen a movement and give it credibility and room to grow. By dutifully reporting individual incidents but not reporting on the growing scope and size of Occupy Wall Street lawlessness, the MSM is willfully covering up the violence, vandalism, and anti-Semitism that truly does define this movement.

Glenn Beck Was Right, Says Leading Occupy Activist: #OccupyWallStreet Wants Violent Revolution

Glenn Beck Was Right, Says Leading Occupy Activist: #OccupyWallStreet Wants Violent Revolution

In their own words.

Well, and I think that’s–that’s one side of what people want, right, ’cause that’s not the only thing people want, they also want to take the banker out of his, you know, fucking tower and string him up in the public square, right? [Applause] That’s not–that’s not, like, just the crazy left. That’s everyday folks talking about their experiences.

And, like, this is America, right? We want to talk about “we’re the 99%” as if we’re also not the 99% that loves Transformers 4, right? [Laughter] As if this is the 99% that doesn’t also, like, feel passionate anger. “All we want is, like, you know, our little appropriate piece of the pie and we just want to be friendly.“

Like, you know....

Forewarned is forearmed.

The More the Hippies Protest Wall Street, the Lower Obama's Numbers Get

The More the Hippies Protest Wall Street, the Lower Obama's Numbers Get

So the hippies are still hunkered down by Wall Street. Like their hero Bill Ayers (aka, President Obama’s terrorist buddy), they are admitted anti-capitalists who want more government-sponsored wealth redistribution, education recognized as a human right, and cradle-to-grave healthcare at no cost to the one receiving the healthcare.

That’s right, regardless of the claims to “Occupy Wall Street” in order to protest alleged financial wrong-doing (which is just leftist jargon for “shame on you for making a profit”), the real impetus because the gathering of these dirty hippies is union-sponsored socialism.And President Obama is encouraging it. (emphasis added)

In the interests of fairness, its only proper that we share the demands of the OWS so our readers may make their own decisions regarding the validity of the accusations being leveled against they. (No that's not a typo. All the accusations begin with the word "They")
Based on the seriousness of some of the accusations, I encourage the author of the List of Demands to identify, by name, who "They" are, so legal proceedings may begin immediately and the perpetrators can be brought to justice. We anxiously await the identification of the guilty parties.

These are the List of Demands
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*

Some Observations Regarding the OWS

They'll be here next Saturday. A conglomeration of misfits, miscreants, moonbats, asshats and wannabe anarchists; lazy, selfish individuals with no ethics or morals; or any concept of personal responsibility, with no coherent message other than making a living is somehow a bad thing and creating wealth and making life better is somehow evil.

I've noticed that the longer this goes on, the more twisted and convoluted the messages become. Talk to any random participant and you're just as likely to hear a diatribe concerning nano-thermite being used to bring down Tower 7 as you are a manifesto concerning perceived corporate greed and greedy bankers and threats of violence against anyone who disagrees.

(Side Note: there is no such thing as NANO-thermite; there IS thermite. Its used to join very heavy pieces of steel together, usually crane rail-tracks. We use it at the shipyard all the time to construct overhead crane rails)

We have learned over the past weeks that there is anti-semitism rampant as demonstrated by the video of a very disturbed participant berating an older Jewish man. We have learned that there is little regard for sanitary conditions, bathing or clothing. There is also some very dangerous behavior going on as evidenced by the discovery of used syringes lying about the park. I doubt all of them are used to inject insulin.

75% of the participants in these "protests" are just lazy, envious slobs who lack the drive and determination to make their own lives better and so they insist everyone is to blame but themselves and therefore everyone must be forced to live as they do.

Thanks but NO THANKS. I'll devote my time and energy to making my life better instead of denigrating those who have achieved the American Dream.

Rabble and Scum OWS NOT the TEA Party

Pat has this one up from the Washington Times.

Cantor may be another Republican establishment politician, but he's MY Republican establisment representative and in this particular instance, he's right.

The stark visceral differences between the rabble and scum (hey, I like that...rabble and scum) turning New York streets and parks into open effluent ponds, and the members of the TEA Party are painfully obvious to anyone who's willing to accept reality. Carney lives in another dimension.

Its Easy To Blame the Rich Guys

PRUDEN: Calling in the clowns to reform Wall Street

It's easy to beat up anyone who works for Goldman Sachs and the other big Wall Street houses. The partners pull down salaries and bonuses that are unimaginably large to most of us; how many Kobe steaks, how many $500-a-bottle French wines can a Wall Street broker consume? How many Manhattan apartments and vacation homes in the South of France can a Goldman Sachs chairman live in? President Obama, ever the nanny, said Wednesday that "at a certain point you've made enough money." He didn't say how much is enough, and who would decide how much is enough, but it's scary to think what Saul Alinsky's disciple might have in mind for all of us.

Mr. Levin and his conspirators in the Senate are trying to make Wall Street in general and Goldman Sachs in particular responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. Investigators at the Securities and Exchange Commission have accused Goldman Sachs of selling $150 million worth of instruments backed by worthless mortgages to a German bank without disclosing exactly what the bank was buying.

The senators deduced from that that Goldman Sachs was trying to rig the market in subprime mortgages and thus set off the great meltdown of '08. The law assumes that not every investment banker is a virgin and does not require that Goldman Sachs relieve its institutional customers from their common-sense duty to know what they're buying. You could argue that what Goldman Sachs and other investment houses are doing is not nice, but it's not against the law. Carl Levin could work to fix that, but screeds are more fun.

There is more at the link. You should go read the whole thing.

DCExaminer Editorial Highlights

WASHINGTON EXAMINER EDITORIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Reid, Levin demean the Senate
Today's Examiner Editorial
"If there is ever to be a restoration of civility in American politics, the adults in the Democratic Party ought to tell Reid and Levin to clean up their acts."

Obama's politically correct leadership invites military disaster
Jed Babbin, Part Five of a Five-Part Series
"Why would anyone want to serve in an army whose leader believes it's more important to support diversity than to protect their lives from murderous threats within the force?"

Republicans pick Wall Street over free markets
Timothy P. Carney, Examiner Columnist
"By proposing a financial reform bill that is mostly identical to the one proposed by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., Republicans have passed up an opportunity to simultaneously appeal to their base, by returning to their alleged principles of limited government, and appeal to much of the middle, by waging a populist battle against Wall Street's corporate-welfare queens who panhandle on Capitol Hill."

Economy is looking up ... for now
Irwin M. Stelzer, Examiner Columnist
"Lying in wait to ambush the recovery are the president's tax increases, the hidden costs of the health care "reform," an energy bill that is ready to be introduced, and a Congress seemingly determined to make a whipping boy of the financial sector."

Morning Email From DCExaminer

Michael Barone - Gangster Government becomes a long-running series
Republicans have been accurately attacking the Dodd bill for authorizing bailouts of big Wall Street firms and giving them unfair advantages over small competitors. They might want to add that it authorizes Gangster Government -- the channeling of vast sums from the politically unprotected to the politically connected.

Timothy P. Carney - Goldman Sachs wants regulation, not laissez-faire
Just as drug companies and insurers used Republicans to kill the public option before using Democrats to mandate insurance and subsidize drugs, big banks are using Republicans to kill a bank tax while using Democrats to erect barriers to entry, to institutionalize bailouts, and to restore confidence in Wall Street.

Susan Ferrechio - Parties feud in public, deal in private on bank bill
Despite Reid's threat to forge ahead without the GOP, he is at the same time working with them on a compromise behind the scenes. His willingness to wait until next week to move a bill to the floor is a clear sign that Democrats have yet to win over a Republican.

J.P. Freire - Is Goldman Obama's Enron? No, it's worse
Campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs employees to President Obama are nearly seven times as much as President Bush received from Enron workers, according to numbers on OpenSecrets.org.

Julie Mason - Obama and GOP both take risks in Wall Street attacks
Both parties are courting political risk by trading sordid accusations over a pending financial services regulations bill -- including the risk of overplaying their hands.
