Some Things Are Just Too Priceless.

I could have just as easily entitled this one as sweet irony, or possibly called it the grass is always greener, but the title truly does not matter. It is perhaps the single best commentary on the crazy parade that the Occupy Wall Street protests are, and have always been. What is amazing to me, is that almost no one in the nation realizes that these protests have all been organized to appear as grass roots protests against the concept of bail outs and corporate welfare by the Marxists in combination with the Anarchist group Anonymous. How these groups are able to get together is one of those enemy of my enemy being my friend kind of tales. They want very opposite outcomes than the other group, but both seek to destroy our economic system in order to achieve that end.

One of the things that puzzles me though is how are the Marxist and Anarchist elements to all of this been kept so successfully a secret, especially when the Marxists have been out there screaming the entire time and making their presence known. The main stream media has done a masterful job of reporting on the entire proceeding while avoiding a single interview of the protesters who will very loudly state their goals. All this, and no one has become at all suspicious of the coverage from a distance approach being taken. So, in that spirit, I have here an interview with three of their members. It has to be the single most ironic things ever to happen here in America, so enjoy the heck out of it.

Oh, the rich irony of it all. Three skulls full of mush explaining the virtues of Socialism to a fellow who actually lived under that repressive system of governance and economics. The misery he explained to them is the very real, and by the way well documented result of a Socialist regime. But don’t worry, these dolts believe with all of their being that it would somehow be different if employed here in the United States. Why, you may ask. Well, our wonderful public education system has provided them with that faith, plus the ability to ignore reality and give lengthy explanations as to why reality was never so in the first place, and even if it was, why the stars aligned to work against the people’s attempts to live in the Utopian dream. It was not Socialism and all of its failures which lead to cannibalism in North Korea while they enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the evil nation of South Korea, it is the fact that there is not enough farm land in the North to sustain the people’s Utopia. It is furthermore evil of the capitalist pigs of the South to not redistribute their wealth to the people of the North, who have been at war with them for over half a century now.

I guess what perplexes me most about the Occupy Wall Street crowd is that they are not protesting at all against the people who committed the unspeakable act of evil that they claim is responsible for what has them so upset. While on Wall Street, they took their protests past the door steps of some of New York’s wealthiest people. Curiously enough, only industrialists received the attention of the protesters, while the Financiers, like say George Soros, received zero of the attention. Soros is what these people claim to be against. He has been convicted of insider trading in France, he manipulates currencies to fit his private whims, he uses his capital to influence political decisions and elections around the globe, and he is shameless about it. He also happens to be financing the current group of brainless teenage thugs defecating in public in NYC right now. Why not also protest against the crooked politicians who approved the bailouts and governmental takeover of our financial institutions. If the bailouts made you children mad, certainly the group of people who did the bailing out deserve as much of the anger as those who received the help.

How does our group of protesters measure up to their own vision of Utopia by the way. I have heard much commentary about how these fine folks are really the same as those awful Tea Parties, who were derided just a few weeks earlier. I believe the term used was Tea Bagger, or some such thing. Now, they are just two groups mad about the same stuff, and isn’t it wonderful that they all in fact agree, that the evil capitalists are somehow ruining America. I must say though, that while the Tea Parties were reported as being full of gun toting racist bigots capable of unspeakable acts of violence, so we better all hide our children and board up our houses, etc. At not one single Tea Party rally was a flyer handed out explaining to young women what they should do in case of sexual assault. There were never any arrests of Tea Party activists at any time during any rallies anywhere in America. In three years time, zero, while there were arrests made of counter protesters assaulting the Tea Party activists, zero is still the number of Tea Partiers actually committing acts of violence. In a report yesterday, handgun crime is up 28% in NYC this year, all of it due to crimes being committed by the Wall Street protesters. the neighbors who live around the area of Zuchotti Park have really had enough as well. I guess the endless drumming and public filth has them rightfully ticked. During all of the Tea Party Rallies, every law enforcement service had stated publicly an amazement how this group would leave the area as clean and well maintained as they found it. Our group of Earth loving environmentalists in Zuchotti Park, not so much. Garbage, Urine, Feces has been their calling card. These folks, who are preaching to us about the evils inflicted by the wealthy have done irreparable damage to the inhabitants of a city that did them no harm. Their entire life style of carelessly sponging off of society was paid for by the very system that they claim created every evil imaginable in the world. What they need is soap, water, and responsibility.

Congressman LTC (USA-ret) Allen West: Obama’s a Marxist, and is purposely destroying our economy

I agree with everything Col. West (and Boortz) say…

Obama versus Alinsky
by Neal Boortz

Rep. Allen West said the other day that he believes Barack Obama is intentionally destroying our economy. He said, “It’s intentional because that’s who this President is. The President is a Marxist who believes in the separation of classes.”

Let’s talk about this idea that Obama may actually be engaged in a conscious attempt to damage the American economy? If so, there’s actually a manual for that! Complete step-by-step instructions on how to wreck a private capitalist economy. It was written by a Marxist named Sul Alinsky, and it’s titled “ Rules for Radicals.” The book is written as a manual “for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” And to thicken the plot just a bit more … after The Community Organizer won the Democrat nomination in 2008, Saul Alinsky’s son wrote a letter to the editor bragging about how Barack Obama is the model for Alinsky organizing. Here’s your excerpt:

Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness. It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well.

I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.

L. DAVID ALINSKY (Anti-American POS- BiB)

If Obama is so well-versed in his organizing skills, why wouldn’t he be well-versed in other areas of Alinksy’s rules? After all, Obama supposedly taught Alinsky workshops while community organizing in Chicago. But let’s return to this concept that Allen West brought up of intentionally destroying our economy.

From Alinsky…

“The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns…. All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.”

Is this what Barack Obama meant when he said that we were just five days away from “fundamentally transforming the United States of America”? Obama’s current wealth envy campaign plays right into this concept of creating dissatisfaction and disorganization in order to then build an ideal community.

From Alinsky…

“An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent… He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises….”

Seven Reasons Why Liberals Are Incapable of Understanding The World

I could also give you seven reasons (at a minimum) why liberals are morons…but this one just about covers them all- “Liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid”- Mark Levin

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil. — Charles Krauthammer

7 Reasons Why Liberals Are Incapable of Understanding The World

Even liberals who’ve accomplished a lot in their lives and have high IQs often say things on a regular basis that are stunningly, profoundly stupid and at odds with the way the world works. Modern liberalism has become so bereft of common sense and instinctually suicidal that America can only survive over the long haul by thwarting the liberal agenda. In fact, liberalism has become such a toxic and poisonous philosophy that most liberals wouldn’t behave differently if their goal were to deliberately destroy the country. So, how does liberalism cause well-meaning, intelligent liberals to get this way? Well, it starts with…

1) Liberalism creates a feedback loop. It is usually impossible for a non-liberal to change a liberal’s mind about political issues because liberalism works like so: only liberals are credible sources of information. How do you know someone’s liberal? He espouses liberal doctrine. So, no matter how plausible what you say may be, it will be ignored if you’re not a liberal and if you are a liberal, of course, you probably agree with liberal views. This sort of close-mindedness makes liberals nearly impervious to any information that might undermine their beliefs.

2) Liberals sources of information are ever present. Conservatives are regularly exposed to the liberal viewpoint whether they want to be or not. That’s not necessarily so for liberals. Imagine the average day for liberals. They get up and read their local newspaper. It has a liberal viewpoint. They take their kids to school, where the teachers are liberal. Then they go to work, listen to NPR which has a liberal viewpoint on the way home, and then turn on the nightly news which also skews leftward. From there, they turn on TV and watch shows created by liberals that lean to the left, if they have any political viewpoint at all. Unless liberals actively seek out conservative viewpoints, which is unlikely, the only conservative arguments they’re probably going to hear are going to be through the heavily distorted, poorly translated, deeply skeptical lens of other liberals.

3) Liberals emphasize feeling superior, not superior results. Liberalism is all about appearances, not outcomes. What matters to liberals is how a program makes them FEEL about themselves, not whether it works or not. Thus a program like Headstart, which sounds good because it’s designed to help children read, makes liberals feel good about themselves, even though the program doesn’t work and wastes billions. A ban on DDT makes liberals feel good about themselves because they’re “protecting the environment” even though millions of people have died as a result. For liberals, it’s not what a program does in the real world; it’s about whether they feel better about themselves for supporting it.

Democrats ‘Negotiate’ to Destroy the US Economy

BOHICA? Not this time around!

We must DEMAND that the GOP fight back!

Destroying the US economy, and destroying the livelihood – and ruining the lives – of non-Muslims in America and elsewhere in the world economy, is part of the agenda of the long-standing tranzi-progressive/jihadi axis. It opens the way to foreign economic and political domination, and it hampers our ability to resist the worldwide jihad.

Let The Professionals Do It (To You, One More Time)

Gates of Vienna – reprinted with permission

The Heritage Foundation has a few things to say about our mind-bending tax burden: [Emphases throughout this post are mine — D]

While Democrats want tax increases on the table in debt negotiations, Republicans have reiterated their “no tax-hike” stance — a position they reiterated following… [the latest] unemployment report that revealed only a measly 18,000 jobs were created last month.

In reality, 18K jobs in an economy the size of America’s is so horrifically minuscule that if President Obama truly understood the ramifications of these numbers, he’d crawl under his desk until someone came to take him away. 18,000 jobs = EPIC FAIL by even a statist’s definition.

As the Baron said over coffee, the mistake the Republicans made this past week was in even considering “negotiating” with the Dems. Democrats don’t “do” good-faith negotiation; that attitude is a top-down problem, starting in the Oval Office and sifting finally onto the heads of us regular folks. Obama thinks we shouldn’t be worrying about things like the debt. In the short video below the fold, O tells us to go out and live our ordinary lives and let the professionals take care of the Debt. In other words, please don’t notice that he has no idea how to fix this mess. But he doesn’t need to know; he’s the One We Were waiting For. He’s Godot.

HF continues:

If that [the 18K jobs increase] isn’t enough reason to keep Democrats from proposing tax increases, perhaps the ambiguity of our nation’s economic future is.Americans are set to face the highest tax burden in history. Families will be hit by unprecedented taxation levels by 2020 without the extension of current tax rates. This means more economic stagnation and less prosperity.

What part of Obama’s “I won” rulebook do Republicans not understand? Present-day Dems do not negotiate, they strong arm, smear and threaten. (Think of the nomenklatura minus assassinations.)

HF presents the evidence from the American Legislative Exchange Council, though the average American hardly needs persuading:
The Tax Burden
[Blogger image sizes are limited. To see a larger version of the chart go here].

In that same post, the Heritage Foundation gives the credit to ALEC:

The American Legislative Exchange Council has found that higher taxes, new spending, and more debt will deepen the financial crisis. If tax hikes are included in any sort of deal, it is only a matter of time before workers, employers and the entire nation are burdened by more than they can handle.

The Debt isn’t rocket science, but our president says Americans shouldn’t worry their cute li’l heads about it. This subject is for professional politicians only:

Obama: ‘Professional Politicians’ Understand Debt Crisis Better Than ‘The Public’

Hubris much?

[Thanks to CNS for the video]

The man’s evasions, condescension (not to mention his high-fivin’shuckin’ and jivin’) continue to astound. In reality, he’s clueless about how the free-market system operates. Or rather, what of it he understands, he dislikes. He didn’t make his millions by starting up a business and hiring people. Instead, he learned early on to milk the Government Goat and he thinks y’all should do the same.

The lawyer/blogger at Legal Insurrection perfectly posed our Feckless Fearless Leader in his own self-created dilemma. Hard to feel sorry for a man who “done it to his ownself” as they say around here:

The only way for Obama to stimulate the enormous private sector job growth needed to ensure Obama’s reelection is for Obama to announce he is not running for reelection, which would unleash a wave of investment and economic activity not seen since the Great Depression.

This ginormous problem is “Obama’s Catch 2012” and it should catch on… so to speak. If the Republicans don’t send that one viral, then they’re even more clueless than we’ve been led to believe by watching their naïve behavior in trying to negotiate with Democrats. They’ve now set themselves up by the mere act of sitting down with the Treachery Team: now if they refuse to raise taxes the Dems will say Republicans don’t care about The Debt. However, if they agree to the Dems’ terms for upping the tax rate, their voters back home will can ’em.

Will someone please tell the Republicans they won? According to our President, victory means you never have to consult with the losing side. In the other ear, mention the sad fact that the Losers are determined to take us all down with them.
