The Obama Watch
Occu-Pied Obama
As protesters leave unsanitary Occu-Pies in parks around the country, the Obama administration seems intent on stepping in one.
My wife said to me yesterday evening that “Obama must be loving” the anti-capitalist protests around the U.S. Perhaps so, but they are at best a double-edged sword for Democrats.
It’s possible that the President and his henchmen, Reid, Pelosi, and Trumka, believe that they can ride a wave of public anger to reelection in 13 months. But does the average American, someone who lives outside the deodorant-starved bubble of the Occupy Wherever movement, see a bunch of stoned, whining, entitled white kids as the direction she wants this nation to go?
Does any parent really hope that the Occupy-ers represent our future?
OK, they’re not all white kids. There is at least one black woman involved in the movement, and she had something to say to an interviewer from reason.tv: “[My name is] Patricia McAllister. I’m here representing myself but I do work for the Los Angeles Unified School District. I think that the Zionist Jews, who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government…they need to be run out of this country.” (YouTube link here.)
Do me a favor, and listen to her again. And then remind yourself: “That is today’s Democratic Party.”
Hey, at least they’re trying for the left’s vaunted goal of diversity: Not only is there one black woman among the white kids, but the protests can lay claim to an open-minded blend of hatred of capitalism and hatred of Jews. It may be that Obama and friends think this movement helps Democrats’ reelection chances, but then they also think that Joe the Plumber is the bad guy. That’s life through the Democrat looking-glass.
If there were any place not in need of an Occupy movement, it’s Boulder, Colorado (a dozen miles from my home), which is already occupied with stoned, whining, entitled kids at the nation’s leading “party school” but who now apparently think they have something to say about bank regulation. As if the hung-over students weren’t enough, a bunch of whining, entitled suburban liberal adults arrived from surrounding towns to wave signs along the side of the road, including this genius woman who has a piece of tape over her infant’s son’s mouth and very near his nose. Perhaps she’s just using oxygen deprivation to ensure he becomes a good liberal.
The Occupy Boulder mini-movement is, to quote Nancy Pelosi, largely Astroturf, having been organized by the Boulder arm of MoveOn.org. The cognitive dissonance of demanding in the same sentence “Jobs not cuts and Make Them Pay Their Fair Share!” is not felt by the Comparative Transgender Eskimo Literature majors from CU and the suburban liberals who long for their radical pot-smoking days of years past.
But is it lost on the real America? Democrats across the country are hoping — and not without some reason — that the nation is too poorly educated in terms of economics to understand how those two stated goals are mutually exclusive, not to mention the many errors, both numerical and philosophical of the “fair share” claim when the top one percent already pays more in income tax than the bottom 95 percent. But at some point, the truth becomes obvious even to those who haven’t read Bastiat or Sowell or even the Wall Street Journal.
To be sure, there are some protesters (a small minority often recognized by their relatively better personal hygiene) who actually care about the country. Reason’s Michael Tracey offers an interesting first-hand look at this subset of Occupy Wall Street protesters in his recent article entitled “Beyond the Caricatures.” When I see someone with an American flag (which he is not intending to burn), I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt about his intentions. After all, there is a kernel of truth in the protesters’ message when it comes to the overly cozy relationship between business and government — a concern shared by the Tea Party movement. But that kernel gets lost in the bushel of anti-business, anti-capitalist, anti-American, and now anti-Semitic intellectual vomitus spewing from the econo-morons of the Occupy movement.
Particularly amusing are the rich white Boulderites talking about being part of the “99%” (i.e. not in the top one percent of earners who pay about 40 percent of all federal income taxes). It may be true that these people are not in the top 1 percent, but I’ll bet they’re in the top 5 percent. Jealousy can be so ugly.
DEMOCRATS WILL CONTINUE to spin and manipulate the Occupy movement into a positive for their electoral hopes and will try to build on the protesters’ ire, as a Washington Post headline on makes plain: “Obama plans to turn anti-Wall Street anger on Mitt Romney, Republicans.”
The article quotes Obama’s senior attack dog, David Plouffe (which rhymes, ironically, with both “fluff” and “bluff”), as saying, “We intend to make [the Republican’s desire to repeal the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill] one of the central elements of the campaign next year. One of the main elements of the contrast will be that the president passed Wall Street reform and our opponent and the other party want to repeal it. I’m pretty confident 12 months from now, as people make the decision about who to go vote for, the gut check is going to be about, ‘Who would make decisions more about helping my life than Wall Street?’ “
Plouffe shouldn’t be so confident.
It will not be difficult for “Mitt Romney, Republicans” to argue that Dodd-Frank is both the reason that small business can’t get loans and the cause of Bank of America’s hated $5 monthly debit card fee. And as a Washington Times op-ed notes, Dodd-Frank will create a “mountain of red tape” and require businesses to “shell out $27 billion in fees, assessments and tithes to their new regulatory masters.” If the unemployed youth in New York think it’s hard to get a job now, just wait until Dodd-Frank is fully implemented. Furthermore, “far from getting rid of bailouts, Dodd-Frank institutionalized them.” How’s that going to go over with the Occupy-ers who rightly loathe the idea of socializing risk — even while they want to socialize everything else?

Watch sly Obama, his conspirators, and his surrogate agent provocateurs incite OWS to violence to justify national martial law. Obama will use the pretext of "preserving law and order and national security" to postpone the November 2012 elections and extend his term of office indefinitely. Absurd? What about Obamacare, using the EPA to overrule Congress about CO2 emissions, and his desire to establish a domestic military force different from the U.S. Armed Forces but equal in funding and power? Why would he need such a separate force? Still absurd?
Mike D.| 10.17.11 @ 2:54PM
The pretense could also be to postpone elections, declare martial law so as to not violate the rights of voters in certain areas to express their voting rights that are being repressed by the "violence".
Thats the way I see it going.

Obama is Mr. Wall Street. He got huge funds from Wall Street and other financial institutions. He is Mr. Goldman Sachs and Mr Federal Reserve. Of course all the Republicans running except Ron Paul and maybe Michelle Bachman are in the pockets of the same people. There will be blood flowing in the strets if the pack of thieves running this country are not brought to heel. The Republicans are insane if they they think they can win anything or accomplish anything on a platform of wars forever, and bailouts for our buddies forever. The people are sick to death of both corrupt parties.

DTOM| 10.17.11 @ 9:34AM
Hey Nancy,
Also throw in a line about how stupid it is to try to find common ground with the Occupiers as some conservatives have suggested.
That is the same logic as, hey look, somebody is breaking into my enemy's house, I think I'll go give them a hand. Fifteen minutes later, you will find your new found "friend" breaking into your house and beating you to a pulp.
The old Arab saw "My enemy's enemy is my friend." is stupid and does not work in the long run.

It is not the message but the actions that needs watching. My observation are that this group is the same people you see in Anti_war demos-just different signs. They are fron groups Socialists,Communists and Anarchists among others that are supported by the International Socialist Movement. It is the group that also funded and supported Obama's presidency. Now here is the important part:
They intend to ratchet up the violence thru provocation. This is what they are practicing on a smaller scale now. The real big violence I think will be in the Spring of 2012.
Do not underestimate the destructive potential of this mob. And it is my view that any of the Presidential candidates should not only weigh in against Obama's inflamatory messages but also connect this heated rhetoric to potential and actual violence on the part of these thugs. For me the mark of a good candidate will be among other things their ability to counter message these Socialists and outflank them on their dangerous propaganda designs. This is a test of who are our leaders and who are not. Lets see who is who.

"Hard core leftists organizing..." ---Indy
True enough but the majority of the OWS big mouths are shouting that the problem is "CAPITALISM." Their mis-definiton is that the entire system of the free markets is to blame! Wow, what idiots or what smart organizers?
Capitalism defined
The means of production; something that enables a person to help him or her survive.
To a 19th century farmer that "something" would have been a plow attached to a beast of burden; to a modern day farmer that something is a half million dollar combine. The simple plow, the mule and the green colored John Deere combine are all "capital."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related
In a modern sophisticated society a businesswoman running a top notch clothing design company has loads of "capital" all around her; from the computer system that assists her designers to the email contact list she has saved on her software files to her sharp marketing people she has hired.
The street OWS communists use their ipods and cell phones, which are distinctly capitalistic, to communicate amongst themselves as to when and where the TV cameras will be set up next, are also capitalists in the purist sense of that word. Their goal is to destroy the independent capitalists and place all capital under the control of a monopoly run by the communists.
The OWS directors use their investments in electronic "capital" to present their picture to the world that "capitalism" is the enemy of the people while using "capital" to accomplish their subversive deeds!
Without the "means of production, ie: the phones and ipods, etc that is "capital," the left wingers running the show on the street would be hard pressed to put on their attack on the USA. The good guys ( those who truly support free markets and limited government) need to begin to define the debate and not leave it up to the enemies of America to define "CAPITALISM."

Everybody likes a good Hitler analogy, don't they? I know I do, and it seems like you don't hear them, any more. They're like Homelessness, When there's a Democrat in the White House, Homelessness disappears from the vernacular.
Anyway. Let's talk HITLER.
Who was he? Well.....He was a Great Orator. A great speaker, who could hold his audiences in the palm of his hand. He came on to the National Stage, when Germany was going through a horrible Financial disaster, and the people had lost their Nationalistic spirit, and they looked to someone for HOPE and CHANGE. And, that was what Adolph was preaching. That, and National Health Care.
He had many followers, and he could get them OUT IN THE STREETS, whenever he needed to. Kristallnacht, comes to mind. (Oh. Did I tell you that he was NO FRIEND, to the Jews?) After all...He was gonna Fundamentally Change Germany. He was a Socialist. (I know this, because, his was the National SOCIALISTS Party) He was an Environmentalist. He had Rich Friends in Business, and Industry, and he liked to steer work, their way, in exchange for their Obedience. He would even supply them with Labour. Forced Labour. He had No Friends, and the Media was his willful Servant. SIEG HEIL!
And, he wasn't even a German. He was Austrian. I think that he might have even spoken in his Native Austrian, from time to time.
Now, who is Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro/Abu Hussein, and why does he need so many ALIASES? I'm told that he was born in Hawaii. But, it seems that, just moments after his birth, he went to live in Indonesia, where he was raised in the Muslim Schools and Mosques, until he was 11 Years old.
He's best known for being a Great Orator, albeit, when the Teleprompter is scrolling, properly. A great Speaker, who can hold an audience in the palm of his hands. His words causing some, to lose consciousness. He came upon the scene at a time when America was going through a horrible Financial disaster, and the people had lost their Nationalistic spirit, and they looked to someone for HOPE and CHANGE. And, whaddaya know, that's exactly what he was selling. That, and National Health Care.
He has many followers, and he can get them OUT IN THE STREETS, whenever he needs to. We're seeing it now. The Great Community Organizer is doing what he does best. Causing Havoc. A couple years ago, he was sending ACORN and SEIU, to the HOMES of AIG Executives, to Terrorize their Families. Today, they threaten to BURN DOWN our Cities. Kristallnacht, comes to mind. (Oh. Did I tell you that he was NO FRIEND, to the Jews?)
He's a Socialist. I know this because I'm NOT Retarded. He's an Environmentalist Watermelon. He had Rich Friends in Business, and Industry, and he liked to steer work, their way, in exchange for their Obedience. (When Jeffery Immelt, sitting at the table, next to Herr Obama, I see Rudolph Hess.) He even supplies them with Labour. Forced Labour. For, in Obama's Amerika, only UNION LABOUR is permitted. Just ask BOEING. He has No Friends, and the Media is his willful Servant. SIEG HEIL!
When he speaks, at the podium, I want you to watch him. Watch hie mannerisms. His pauses, as he stares out over the audience. A steely look, in his eyes, and on his mouth, as he gazes off in to nowhere.
We never do, learn from History, do we. It just goes round and round.
Once again, a Madman has his followers, out in the Streets. Their Mission? TEAR CIVILIZATION DOWN. Bring Society to a standstill, and distract the people, while the Madman implements his Dictates on the sly.
When JESUS returned to Nazareth, the people chastised him for "letting people THINK that he was the Messiah". HE answered them, saying that: A PROPHET is never recognized, in his own home town."
What about a MONSTER?
Is a MONSTER ever recognized in his own home town? What about, his own Country?
Or, is it always too late, before his True Identity is discovered?

It's one thing for people to protest for something meaningful, like civil rights, but, a bunch of whiny white people complaining about the bill for their iPhone, and the cost of their degree in Russian literature is ridiculous. The President's support will be a net minus for him at the polls. Even though he must realize this he can't help himself. It's who he is.
PolishKnight| 10.17.11 @ 9:53AM

Good advice Solo!! The Tea Party is definitely going to be the target for this OWS crowd from here on out. Now personally, I'm willing to take my chances, because there's always some collateral damage in War, and I think there's more of "us", than there are of them, so let's see what happens when we meet. And have no doubt about this, we are at War now, for the future of this Country. The question is, do we turn further Left towards Socialism, or do we turn Right towards personal freedom and personal responsibility? The T.P. wants to go Right, and this Occupy whatever crowd wants to go Left, and the Center wants to go which way? This is no time for fence sitting!! Pick sides Fence Sitters!! Freedom or Socialism? I can't predict the future, but I've got a hunch, this next election is going to see the practical destruction of the Democratic Party in America, or at least that's what I pray for everyday!! It's time to start making noise Silent Majority, your future depends on it!!

Solo,
As a Tea Party member I hate to say this....I think the TP has become like a beaten dog. We fear the media backlash and false racism charges everytime we speak out and therefore have become silent.
Forget seeing big rallies from our side in the future. It's a lot easier for trust fund babies to rally in the streets than hard working people trying to raise a decent family.
Not making excuses here and I WILL be wherever the TP decides to go but I just don't see the will to put themselves out there anymore. Am I wrong?
Sure we are working behind the scenes and trying to get conservative representation elected but where is the rebuttal to the TP as racist/haters narrative? Why isn't anyone pointing out the irony of Pelosi and the left comparing the TP to Nazis while voicing support for an anti-semetic, violent mob who actually say they want to tear America apart?
Where is OUR side in all of this?
AVCurmudgeon| 10.17.11 @ 11:41AM
The Tea Party is speaking. But as usual we end up talking to ourselves because the MSM ignores everything that doesn't involve defecating on police cars.
The main way the TP is speaking right now? His name is Herman Cain.
CrackerHound| 10.17.11 @ 11:42AM
I pray hard for Cain as our candidate.
CrackerHound| 10.17.11 @ 11:41AM
We also need to point out in a louder voice that EVERYTHING that the OWS types are protesting as unjust was put out by their messiah Obama.
He bailed out Wall Street and the fat cats. He's the guy who rewarded his rich buddies. He has done NOTHING to ease the burden of the poor and has made it worse for them. He is the president that continues the wars and involves us in more wars (despite the bogus Nobel Peace Prize). Obama is responsible for the lack of jobs that OWS wants so much....and on and on.
Ed| 10.17.11 @ 11:57AM
Tea Partiers have real jobs and real lives, so demonstrating is a part-time activity. I anticipate that the Tea Party will re-emerge next summer. But, watch out for the Proggie Brown Shirts.
VBMax| 10.17.11 @ 4:49PM
We'll be out there if and when we need to be. Right now the focus is on getting our people legitimately elected. If we are not given our constitutional rights to a free and fair election, well, you'll see a new American civil war.
We have an advantage in that our adversaries are a bunch of whining cowards. We can handle that.

As protesters leave unsanitary Occu-Pies in parks around the country, the Obama administration seems intent on stepping in one.
I find the hand signals used by the OWSers amusing especially twinkles. I did a cute little parody of it using some best clips from OWS:

These screaming weenies want their handouts too, but even though they voted for Obama to get them their free ride at the expense of the lily white suburbanites they all despise, he hasn't delivered.

The majority of compaints regarding the loons of loons of OWS seems at times to center upon their lack of grooming and hygiene, and yes their general cluelessness. You typical immaculate affluent whites are after all who you are. Conservative and others said the same about dirt bag hippies in the sixties as well. They still managed their victories and upon growing up insinuated themselves into many places of power and are currently doing their best to ruin our country. Back in the sixties we did have the other young people-the silent majority young people. The networks made sure we never saw or heard from them. We need to hear from them now. The tea party is often colored as just a bunch of old people. We need to show that plenty of young people are with thinking quite differently that these imbeciles. Every republican candidate should give the stump speech surrounding by the youth who wand a far different American dream than the OWS loons. I'd love it if our talk radio folks would get the ball rolling, as well. You can find people young people all over the place working and trying to better themselves and desiring to fend for themselves-most just want an economy that will open up opportunity for them. They do not wish for a future being the 101 beaurocrat recquired to screw in a light bulb-the Michelle Obama dream job. They wanna fend for themselves.

Nope. Clint is the real deal. He does "dumb" like no one else because he LIVES IT.
Clint actually typifies ALL the absurd stereotypes embodied in the phrase "angry white male". When you exchange posts with him, you are one-on-one with the a dying species.

"Pulling off that level of 'dumb' on a continual basis would require a prodigious amount of talent, and no one with that kind of talent would waste it on an anonymous message board."
Oh. That's a shrewd point, Doc. But I think it may be overdrawn. You're a pretty talented dude yourself, and here you are with the rest of us.
Myself, I'm waiting to see how Clint morphs, so to speak, after DOCTOR Ron Paul rides off into the sunset. We're probably all going to vote the same in November 2012 (AGAINST the Professor: most Americanos vote AGAINST more often than FOR--hell, the last time I voted FOR was in 1984; in fact, I voted FOR only twice in my adult life: 1980 and 1984, and that includes local and state elections).
Where was I? Oh yes, my impression is that there's huge talent rather constantly on display on the TAS threads. It's among my sure-enough favorite boards. I'm wondering what that's about. The creepy presumption I can recall among the lefties is on tedious display in the Obama phenomenon. "The Marching Morons" (1955), for example, or "Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang" (1976) are among the more prominent of the countless pieces of dystopian fiction in which all that's left (no pun) of enlightened thought in the near future is carefully cultivated by pockets of chic-liberal sensibilities. That kind of crap is the very essence of the Obamanation: a presumptive pseudo-religious IA (Ignoramuses Anonymous) to which only the few are invited.
I think (rather, I hope) it's all run its course now, and will implode thoroughly in 2012.
Then what?
Then we all go back to arguing among ourselves, I guess--right here, on such message boards.
And now back to "The Creature Walks Among Us" (1957), third in the Creature trilogy, an inadvertent fable about the ups and downs of human irascibility.

Exploiting "connections" between anti-capitalists and Jews long has been a stock-in-trade of the far Right. I've been around plenty of Ron Paul types. And yes, they do have a tendency, if in somewhat nuanced ways, to talk like this. The Left has its own version of this -- most everyone is familiar with Marx's early and none-too-flattering writings on Jews -- but the Right, overall, has had a bit more practice.
AVCurmudgeon| 10.17.11 @ 11:44AM
Obama is in the classic Alinskyite seat, seeking to coopt for his own purposes a movement that he did not start and that he does not really represent.
Over and over, he reminds us that the man we have in the WH is not a President but an agitator, a man basically interested only in his own star and not in the best interests of the nation as a whole. He showed this in Madison with his support of those occupying the state house, and he shows it now with his support of those who are really just lashing out blindly in all directions.
Obama has nowhere to go and not much to say, but he sure is good at keeping us hopping.

Yes, DS. The National Socialists picked their favorite companies and made sure the government was doing business with them.

Protesting is the most activity most of them have had recently.

And now back to "The Incredibles" (2004), in which the conservative character traits such as 'skill', 'talent', and 'ability' must be hidden from liberal mob occupiers in the name of 'social justice', 'equality', and 'fair shareness', even as the the liberal mob occupiers express their 'individuality', 'nonconformity', and 'uniqueness'.

I say, the Edna character is sheer genius.

This protesting pigs have been around for most of my lifetime. They were equally disgusting and vile in the 1960's with their insults of the military and law enforcement personnel. The current group are no doubt the children of those of that former era. I'd suggest viewing the movie EASY RIDER for an explanation. The ludicrous part is that many of these individuals are partially supported by governmental welfare benefits that are financially supported/paid for by the income of productive citizens that is taxed by the government. Those FAT CAT BANKERS and MILLIONAIRES & BILLIONAIRES are the very ones enabling these scumdogs to even exist [and therefore to protest]. They have never done a honest days work in their life [and never will], and they are thoroughly lazy, stupid and worthless. They are not downtrodden, as they would have you believe. They revel in their poverty, and seek governmental subsistence in order to not have to work for their financial living. They promote governmental increases and influence since same sustains them to live their lives of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll [all on the taxpayers' dime of course]!!!!!!!

This can't help but end badly for the Dems, IMHO. They no longer control all the media, they don't have 70 some million Baby Boomers to draw upon who can or will take it to the streets. By my unscientific calculations only 1% of any generation is dumb enough to fall for this Marxist BS and then only 1% of that 1% is further motivated to 'protest'. Back in the day the 1%er Boomers were enough to make some fairly large crowds and thus it seemed like the whole country was in agreement with the media spin. These days the neo-Marxists are obviously a very tiny fringe of wackos and the media cannot keep that info from being disseminated. The rest of we 99%ers have either been there, done that or have enough common sense to see that the protestors ARE the Dems and vice versa. AMF Democrats. Cuba and North Korea are still looking for immigrants.

Political charlatans, and crooks are thriving, under the pirate Obama.
Government's only reason to exist is to serve - not to propagate itself, on stolen taxpayer money.
Revive the free spirit, and entrepreneurship in America.
Vote for President Herman Cain, save America!!

Pres. Obama MUST expect some good to come from the OWS group, otherwise he wouldn't associate with it. There also has to be quite a bit of money supporting this activity. Either this is a desperate attempt at real revolution or it is the last gasp of American socialism and they want to go out swinging.
