Obama's National Parks Director Favors Occupiers Over WWII Vets

I'm surprised the National Park Service didn't sabotage the wheelchairs of these veterans like they did the water fountains in our parks.

Is TS Designs a Business or Eco-Grifters?

Yesterday, the Charlotte Observer published an op-ed written by Eric Henry, president of TS Designs. Now, mind you this is no ordinary article. Most small business owners I know, despise the Obama administration’s ‘You didn’t build that’ meme. So, it’s surprising to see an entrepreneur with an Occupier attitude. And as usual not all things are what they seem with this newspaper. And neither is TS Designs. Just go to their website. You’d think this company is more of a commune than a business. But first, I’ll let Mr. Henry tell his story.

From Eric Henry, president of TS Designs, a t-shirt manufacturing and printing company in Burlington:

If anyone tells you that ending the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent would hurt job creation, tell them to talk with me. We founded our business, TS Designs, in 1977 as a small manual screen printing company and grew to land contracts with some of clothing’s biggest brands. In 1993, we lost much of our business as a result of the supposedly job-creating NAFTA trade agreement as large brands sought out the cheapest labor costs they could in Mexico.

We decided to stick it out and keep good jobs right here in North Carolina. We invested in new technologies that reduced our energy and waste costs. We found new markets for our t-shirts. And we looked at our location in North Carolina as a virtue, not a problem. We decided to manufacture t-shirts from cotton grown, ginned, spun, knit, finished, cut, sewn, printed and dyed all within our state’s borders; or as we like to say, from dirt to shirt in North Carolina.

Years ago, I studied to be an economist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our public schools, colleges and universities are among the important places we can see our tax dollars at work.

The new markets that TS Designs found are the environmentalist. The green energy fanatics are willing to pay higher prices for an eco-friendly product, whereas others would eschew paying 30% more for a stinking t-shirt. And isn’t it interesting that Mr. Henry is committed to education? His company is in need of indoctrinated students. Business Journal reported the following boondoggle on September 2010:

The work force will soon be a bit greener in Alamance County, thanks to a grant that is allowing Alamance Community College to place 40 interns at businesses and organizations across the community this fall.

The Energy Internship Program is funded by a grant awarded in July from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. Alamance Community College was the only community college in the state to get money, and it got the largest grant — $339,276 — of the $5.6 million distributed to other entities in the state.

And guess which company is right in the middle of it all:

Alamance Community College has also been ahead of the curve in terms of green technology. Last fall, it launched its 12-credit-hour Green Technology Certificate Program, which is part of its industrial systems technology department. Participating students learn about wind, solar and hydro power systems, renewable energy and environmental sustainability issues.

Students who want to be eligible for one of the internships must be six hours into the Green Technology Certificate Program, Rhode says.

“We were looking at doing (the Green Technology Certificate Program) before the North Carolina community college system developed a curriculum for it,” says Nadelman, who credits Alamance Community College vice president Barry Weinberg for starting the program there. “We also had some forward-thinking people in the community who were working with solar energy and wanted us to do this.”

One of those companies, TS Designs, a small screen-printing business in Burlington, now serves as a remote classroom for students, who can observe how solar energy is implemented into a working business model.

They have solar panels all right. And it couldn’t have happened without federal and state tax credits. Here is an excerpt from their website:

Our numbers estimate that our new solar array will pay for 96% of its purchase, installation, and operating costs over a 6 year period. This document answers a few FAQ’s about the numbers behind the payback.

The rest of this page references a spreadsheet with all the summary calculations shown. You can view that spreadsheet here as a PDF (opens in a new window).

Alternatively, you can find a PDF containing both the spreadsheet and all of the analysis content on this page for easy printing here.

How is the federal solar tax credit calculated?

The federal solar tax credit is calculated as 30% of the array purchase price; our federal tax credit is ($71,000 * 30%) = $21,300.

TS Designs is an S-Corporation, which means its income, and thus its tax burden, is transferred to its owners (Tom Sineath and Eric Henry). Because the federal tax credit will be claimed by Tom and Eric, the AMT (alternative minimum tax, a tax affecting individual income) will affect how much can be claimed in any given year (which is why the credit is spread over several years in varying estimated amounts on our attached payback analysis spreadsheet).

How is the NC state solar tax credit calculated?

The state solar tax credit is calculated as 35% of the array purchase price, divided evenly among the first 5 years. Our NC tax credit is ($71,000 * 35%) = $24,850, so we can take a $4,970 credit each year for five years.

Isn’t that a little hypocritical? Not if you’re a liberal. Mr. Henry continues on:

When the first Bush tax cuts passed in 2001 our nation had a budget surplus and we were told the tax cuts would pay for themselves by boosting economic growth and job creation. Many people thought that was bunk. You’d think the economic meltdown and large budget deficit would have shown that giving tax breaks for the best-off Americans makes them richer – it doesn’t pay for itself, it doesn’t trickle down and it doesn’t create jobs, at least not in America.

I know firsthand that investment is the key to keeping my business healthy. I know that the taxes I pay allow the government to reinvest in teachers, roads, clean water and other infrastructure and services that my business depends on to succeed.

North Carolina benefits significantly from government investment. For every tax dollar we send to Washington, we get $1.08 back in everything from supports for our cotton farmers, jobs at our military bases, investments in our national parks that bring tourists to our state, and research and education investments that support the Research Triangle.

What a bunch of nonsense. The only ones who get $1.08 back on their one dollar investment are the teat squawkers and political grifters who game the system. From 1995 to 2011, North Carolina cotton farmers received $1,632,729,642 in federal government subsidies. Now, that’s a hell of return on an investment! Lord only knows how much taxpayer money the Research Triangle scammed us out of. Oh, forgot. That’s an investment according to Mr. Henry of TS Designs.

And this particular Gem from the president of TS Designs is particularly amusing:

As a small business owner, taking money from the budgets of families struggling to make ends meet and giving it to the most prosperous families won’t help my business or our economy. Instead it will continue us down the path of subsidizing the already well off instead of making the investments in our economy and our people that truly strengthen our nation and our homegrown jobs.

Notice the attitude of this liberal. This guy seems to think that the “most prosperous families” didn’t earn their money; it was given to them. And he wants his due. He’s entitled to their wealth.

It’s hard to believe that entrepreneurs have the mentality of an Occupier. But then again, TS Designs business model caters to these teat squawkers.

Small Business Owners Rebel Against White House "Occupiers"

Small business owners are deeply resentful at the dynamic duos who currently “occupy” the White House. Just recently, a baker refused to host ‘Bite Me’ Biden, because of this administrations hostility to entrepreneurs.

A back story has recently been reported. The Washington Examiner published the following:

Secret Service officers associated with Vice President Joe Biden bought a pile of cupcakes from the baker who refused to host Biden at his shop — and they did so out of gratitude.

It’s a startling news nugget at the bottom of a local report. “[S]hortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people ‘no’ — the secret service walked in and told [owner] Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes,” according to the Valley Reporter (Va.).

McMurray refused to host the Biden entourage as a protest of Obama’s comment, made in the nearby town of Roanoke, that “if you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.”

The Secret Service’s purchase proved to be a herald of things to come, as Virginia locals rewarded McMurray with a rush of business this morning. The bakery ran out of food by 1:15 pm.

A discontent is steadily spreading. Here is a sign from another ‘you didn’t build that’ business owner.

Occupy Brats Cry for Attention at CPAC

When the grownups gather, the children invariably have to interrupt the party. We’ve all witnessed the scenario:

“Mommy watch me!”

“Daddy see this!”

The little ones always want attention from the adults. And the Occupiers are no different than little kids. Every time conservatives gather, the brats demonstrate and try to infiltrate our conferences. CPAC is having their annual gathering and the punks are devising ways to disrupt it. The Heritage Foundation reports:

During a Thursday meeting at McPherson Square, until Saturday the epicenter of the protests, Occupiers brainstormed tactics for shutting down or disrupting the conference, according to a source who was present at the meeting.

The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming “fire” during conference activities, “glitter-bombing” participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.

“Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted,” the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, “said they would be disappointed if they didn’t get arrested and planned to ‘make it count.’”

The source quoted another protester as saying, “Mitt [Romney] has Secret Service now, but [Newt] Gingrich and [Andrew] Breitbart don’t,” seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded
.
Protesters planned to conduct most of these activities on Saturday, the last day of the conference, so as not to overlap with the recently announced protests by labor groups on Thursday and Friday.

In North Carolina, the Civitas Institute is sponsoring a conservative leadership conference, and of course the Democrats are encouraging the children to infiltrate and disrupt that meeting. Here is a clarion call from NC Blue:

This is a call for progressives everywhere to Occupy Americans for Prosperity and their so-called Conservative "Leadership" Conference on March 2nd and 3rd. It's an early skirmish in the battle for the heart and soul of North Carolina - a time to show our strength.

Via email from AFP:


We strongly encourage you to attend the Civitas Institute’s 2012 Conservative Leadership Conference: Battleground North Carolina on March 2-3 at the Marriott Crabtree Valley in Raleigh. Get educated, activated and motivated at Civitas' Battleground North Carolina conference and be prepared to defeat the liberal policy agenda in 2012!

Speakers include: Charles Krauthammer, columnist and political commentator; Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute; Jason Lewis, nationally syndicated radio host; and Brian Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State

Are you in?
Will you commit to joining this action?
Will you put the resources of your organization behind this effort?
How many people can you deliver to the Marriott on March 2nd and 3rd?
What should be our goal? A hundred progressive people? A thousand?

AFP represents the black heart of the Tea Party extremists in North Carolina, and they are bringing in a bunch of pundits who want America to revert to the middle ages, where poor people are nothing but interchangeable stones in the castle walls around rich people, and planning for shared future is nothing but conspiracy theory.

Liberals can’t defeat conservatives in the arena of ideas, so they have to poop on their meetings. How childish can these people be?

Why Conservatives Suck

Here is a commentary on why conservatives suck. We suck because someone has to be the grownups. We suck because we have a realistic take on life. We suck because we realize someone has to pay the bills and nothing is free.

Ah…I remember the days of being a toddler stumbling around in my cloth diapers, snot running down my nose, and squealing for a snack. Everything was so simple. Ask, and you shall receive. Poop your drawers and someone is right there to clean up the mess. Some of us grew out of that stage and others are still squawking for a teat.

The Occupy crowd reminds me of toddlers. They believe everything is free and others will clean up their mess. And so far a compliant government is doing their best to accommodate them.

Charlotte Occupiers Arrested for Burning Flag Without Fire Pit

A group of Charlotte Occupy punks were arrested yesterday for burning an American flag without using a fire pit.

Police also charged Jason Bargert, 28, of Charlotte; Michael Behrle, 23, of Matthews; and Stephen Morris, 20, of Matthews. Bargert has been identified as a spokesman for Occupy Charlotte.

Tyler told Occupy Charlotte members Friday that he'd met the three other men about 12:30 a.m. Friday.

"I've seen this group lose its activism and become lazy," said Tyler, adding that the other men told him, "We're going to give Occupy Charlotte a wake-up call."

According to a police report, officers spotted a fire being set about 12:30 a.m. on East Trade Street near the movement's site.

Do these people have a permit for this perpetual protest? And if so, who’s paying for it? The tea party people had to obtain one, and that was good for only a couple of hours.

I’ll give a little credit to these misguided idiots; at least they’re not defecating on police cars, or raping and killing people within their encampment. As for drug use, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised about that.

Charlotte Occupiers Eat Their Own

The Charlotte Occupiers are eating their own. One of the founding organizers was democratically kicked out of the pack for having the audacity to take a leadership role on a rudderless ship. The 47 year old Thomas Shope was handed a Grecian formula that only the historically literate can appreciate:

CHARLOTTE (CBS Charlotte) — “Occupy Charlotte” protesters have carried out an official coup within the group.

Thomas Shope, 47, credited with helping to organize “Occupy Charlotte,” was exiled from the group for claiming leadership.

A YouTube video broadcasts the group’s reasoning with an automated voice speaking over classical piano.

“Some of your actions have compromised the reputation, motivation and unity of the protesters of the ‘Occupy Charlotte’ movement,” it starts.

It went on to accuse him of posing as a person of power who positioned the local movement to invite ridicule.

“Occupy Charlotte,” like its counterparts in cities around the world, governs itself with a lateral democracy and voted him out.

So Shope shut down the Twitter profile and website’s domain for “Occupy Charlotte.” The movement now has several Twitter accounts and Facebook pages that broadcast muddled and conflicting messages.

“They’re a rogue group of kids,” Shope told CBS Charlotte. “They did anything a child can come up with to get people from the group on their side.”

Save a porta-potty problem, “Occupy Charlotte” has been lauded so far as being peaceful, respectful of city laws and cooperative with police.

Since these Marxist didn’t have the foresight to rent portable toilets, I wonder what they’re doing to keep warm on these cold autumn nights, besides fornicating on a public bench. Maybe they dried their dung and are burning it. That would kill two birds with one stone. But wouldn’t that violate city laws? Oh well, it’s time for a movie and a hot cocoa.

Good luck hope and changers. May your nights be as blissful as mine.

Charlotte Observer Sheds Tear Over Plight of Illegal Aliens

I’m beginning to wonder what the tear-to-ink ratio is in the Charlotte Observer. It seems as though every time I read this leftist rag, I’m subjected to a pity piece by the editors or a columnist. You can practically see the tear stains smudging the page. This past Sunday was no different.


Peter St. Onge, a weekly columnist, is weeping over the plight of illegal aliens. Alabama passed a law that would protect its citizens from a third world invading horde. But that doesn’t sit right with Mr. Onge:

Georgia and Arizona lawmakers have passed similar laws, and North Carolina is prepping the soil by forming a new legislative committee on immigration issues. Its goal: make North Carolina “unwelcome for any illegal alien,” said Republican Rep. Frank Iler, a co-chair, to a Wilmington reporter last week.

Now we have a preview of what comes next. In Alabama, the new law has jarred cities and rattled communities where Latinos long ago put down roots while tending crops and working in poultry plants. Church pews are emptying. Businesses are scrambling to replace workers. Police are fretting about when and when not to check papers. Superintendents are pleading with Latino parents, assuring them they won’t be grabbed for deportation when they pick up their child. It’s not working – parents have pulled the kids, many of them U.S. citizens, and kept them home.

Above all, immigrants are leaving – some to other states that might be more welcoming, some back to their homeland.

To which many of you out there would say: Great


You’re damn skippy!


But Mr. Onge only sees disaster:


Except: In Alabama and Georgia, farmers say the law is killing them. The farmers, most of whom live in rural, conservative counties, say the U.S. Guest Worker program is woefully inadequate in supplying workers to tend their fields. What about all those locals needing jobs? “You’re out there in the sun and the rain,” an Alabama farmers representative told the Washington Post. “It’s just not attractive to Americans.”

So crops are going unharvested, with more than half rotting in some places. Farms are floundering, and prices surely will rise. Another casualty: Businesses that serve immigrant communities are suffering and closing their doors. That’s money that helps rev our economies – and jobs going away when we need them most.


Well, Mr. Onge this is how I see it. When I was younger we didn’t have illegal aliens working on farms. We kids were the ones hoeing the fields, picking the crops, bailing hay, shoveling shit, feeding the animals, mending fences and doing whatever chores had to be done. It was hard work, but it built character and an appreciation for a dollar.


Right now, we have a bunch of kids who are in desperate need of a job. The Bureau of Labor Statistics published the following youth unemployment rates:

The youth unemployment rate edged up over the year to 19.1 percent in July—the highest July rate on record for the series, which also began in 1948.

Among major demographic groups, the unemployment rates for young men (20.5 percent), blacks (33.4 percent), and Asians (21.6 percent) continued to trend up from a year earlier; the jobless rates for young women (17.5 percent), whites (16.2 percent), and Hispanics (22.1 percent) were virtually unchanged.

But thanks to decades of liberal/progressive policies, today’s trophy participant generation would rather suck on a teat than get their hands dirty, as demonstrated by the Wall Street Occupiers. These kids don’t want a job. They want a handout and a hanky. And I’m sure Mr. Onge and the editors of the Charlotte Observer have plenty of those to pass around.

A Capitalist Ode to the Wall Street Occupiers

That evil institution called capitalism has been put to song. Maybe some Wall Street Occupiers who have a degree in music appreciation can convey the profound meaning of this work to their fellow commies.

Maybe they can forward this video via iPods and iPhones and iPads and Blackberries etc…etc…etc…

Wall Street Occupier Squawks for Free Tuition

This guy sums up what the Wall Street Occupiers are all about. This movement consists of students and socialist. Both are nothing but a bunch of freeloaders who haven’t, or refuse to work an honest day in their lives.

I wish I could be there when this kid cuts a check to the Internal Revenue Service. Then we’ll see how he feels about giving “free stuff” to the masses.

Wall Street Occupiers Party Like It's 1789

Anyone who has watched the videos of the Wall Street Occupiers has to ask themselves why they didn’t employ a decent sound system. Instead, the leaders shout from a platform and the sheep bleat thrice. I don’t know if this is some sort of psychological tactic to endear the mob. I guess the “leaders” want the protestors to believe they’re participants in the democratic process.

But what can’t be mistaken is their message of class warfare and sense of entitlement. Earlier today, they marched on millionaires’ row demanding more money through taxation:

Occupy Wall Street protesters are heading uptown Tuesday to get in the face of some of New York's richest tycoons.

A "Millionaires March" will visit the homes - or, more realistically, the gleaming marble lobbies - of five of the city's wealthiest residents, including News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and conservative billionaire David Koch.

Marchers want to present the moguls with oversize checks to dramatize how much less they will pay when New York State's 2% tax on millionaires expires in December.

"Ninety-nine percent of the residents of New York are going to suffer from this tax giveaway so the 1% who already live in absolute luxury can put more money in their pockets," said Doug Forand, one of the march organizers.

"This is fiscally, economically and morally wrong."

The Wall Street Occupiers remind me a lot of the mobs during the French Revolution, and not just because of their rabid hatred of the bourgeoisie, but because of their style of governance, which is by general assembly or committee. History has shown us that this veneer of democracy can quickly degenerate into a horror.

It was the Committee of Public Safety that brought about the Reign of Terror, ending with the beheadings of their leaders: Danton and Robespierre. France was drenched in blood and it didn’t stop until the mobs lust for vengeance was satiated.

Here is an excerpt from Citizens a Chronicle of the French Revolution by Simon Schama. You decide if the Occupiers have the same mentality as their French counterparts of 1788 & 1789:

Many of those whose violence in 1788 and 1789 had made Paris ungovernable, and thus allowed the Revolution to succeed, had never been much enamored of economic liberalism or individualism. Much of their anger had been a reaction against the unpredictable and impersonal operation of the market. They had clung to the traditional mind-set which saw in price rises and shortages the operation of a “famine plot” and, so far from wanting the state to dismantle all customary protection, wanted more interventionist policy.

And as for personal property rights:

Robespierre’s speech the previous autumn, suggesting that property rights were not absolute but limited by a responsibility not to hurt the subsistence of others, opened the way for a serious change of heart among a section of the Jacobins themselves. Attacks on “riches egoistes” and “bloodsuckers,” and proposals for progressive taxes and forced levies on the rich to subsidize public-relief works and the price ceilings became commonplace.

I’m just waiting for an Occupier to display someone’s head on pike. Oh wait a second:

Hugo Chavez Concerned over Welfare of Wall Street Occupiers

America’s enemies are siding with the Wall Street Occupiers. Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez is cheering on the anti-capitalistic malcontents. The Expropriator from Caracas is salivating over the prospect of an American Spring. So, much so that he expressed concerns over the imprisonment of activist:

"This movement of popular outrage is expanding to 10 cities and the repression is horrible, I don't know how many are in prison now," Chavez said in comments at a political meeting in his Caracas presidential palace shown on state TV.

I wonder how many protestors are languishing in a Venezuelan prison for just looking askance at a Chavez mural. And we know how dictators love their murals. But what is really laughable is the audacity of his finger pointing:
‘
"Poverty's growing, the misery is getting worse," he said, referring to the causes of the U.S. protests. "But that empire is still there, still a threat ... (President Barack) Obama is on his way down, for lots of reasons. He was a big fraud."

Here is the result of a Chavez run government:

With inflation rates of food and healthcare around 65%, Chávez has crippled the economy, squandering the proceeds of the largest oil boom since the 1970s. And oil production itself has been steadily declining since 2004, when Chávez consolidated his control over PDVSA, an oil company owned by the state (not the elites) since 1976. According to Opec statistics, Venezuela's shrunken production capacity means that it produces only three-quarters of its quota of 3.3 million barrels a day.

I don’t believe anyone in the United States can claim there is a food shortage. Not yet anyway:

Chávez's economic mismanagement and price-fixing have also resulted in severe food shortages of staples such as milk, eggs, beans and rice, and Soviet-style queues when they are in stock.

Hey Hugo, give Obama a chance. The Environmental Protection Agency is working as fast as they can. It's expropriated!

Occupiers Try to Storm D.C. Museum

When we tea partiers went to D.C., many of us visited the museums. We all knew that placards weren’t allowed, and put them aside, so as to enter. No one was arrested or peppered sprayed.

When I tried to enter the Capitol building, a security guard informed me that I couldn’t enter with my thermos, and wasn’t allowed to leave it beside the building. I had to put it in the trash can. Now, I was a little pissed off about that, but I complied anyway. And believe me it was a little embarrassing, when I had to dumpster dive for my property after the tour. But I guess we tea partiers have a different mentality that the Occupiers:

Protesters clashed with security staff when they tried to enter a museum in Washington on Saturday, prompting one guard to use pepper spray and leading to at least one arrest, a spokeswoman said.

The incident occurred at The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum around 3:15 pm (1915 GMT), after hundreds of activists had marched from Freedom Plaza, near the White House, along the National Mall towards the US Capitol.

Some of those in the demonstration were affiliated with the Occupy DC protest group that sprung up earlier this week as a spin-off of the larger Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, angered at "corporate greed."

Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas said a group of the protesters were confronted when they tried to push through the doors and enter the Air and Space Museum.

"When they were told they couldn't bring the banners they were carrying inside one security officer used pepper spray," she said.

"There were a couple of hundred protesters in the area at the time and Washington police were called. There was one arrest that I know of," she added, noting that the museum closed its doors two hours early because of the clash.

Occupy DC, a young group of several dozen protesters, is camping out at McPherson Square on Washington's K Street, where many political lobbyists have their offices.

The mantra in the above video is the whole world is watching. Yeah, watching you punks make an ass of yourselves.

Occupiers Infest Charlotte, North Carolina

The anarchist/hippie/communist/freeloader movement known as the Occupiers has descended upon Charlotte, North Carolina. What they want nobody really knows, but according to them they are the 99% who are fed up with the 1%. Isn’t that catchy? This coming from a generation that is easily beguiled by flashy slogans; just look at our president.

The “uptown” crowd, who is obsessed with the Queen City’s world class status, should be pleased that these protestors have targeted the banking capitol of the country. And it looks as though they mean to stay for a long time:

Occupy Wall Street and the groups it has spawned say they are fighting to change a financial and political system that favors the wealthy and powerful.

But today's rally, likely to include picketing, a march to Bank of America headquarters at The Square and organizational efforts, is only the occupation's first act.

A smaller group of protesters plans to occupy the roughly 300-foot-long Trade Street lawn for up to a year.

Exactly how many protesters will remain there is unclear, though organizers said that at least 70 have pledged to do so.

"We're going to make our base right there," said Shope, who helped organize last Saturday's 150-person rally at Marshall Park.

I hope Charlotte’s elite enjoy the smells and sight of shit, piss and refuse all over “uptown”. Maybe someone on the Occupiers committee will have the foresight to rent portable toilets. But I doubt that will happen, they probably think that’s a right too:

According to the group's website, other protest points include "the rights to life, food, and shelter; a government that is fully visible to its people and held accountable for its actions, a free unbiased media that doesn't 'spin' or 'blackout' important stories, an end to the violence and overspending that America has become known for in the Middle East and all over the world."

They want a free unbiased media too? Hey Occupiers, the Charlotte Observer is a few blocks away. Why don’t you go and squat on their front lawn, while you’re at it.

A Generation of Trophy Participants Believe They Have Been Dealt a Bad Hand

I always thought that the baby boomers were the most spoiled generation in American history. But today’s under 30’s have proven me wrong.

America’s future is occupying New York City and it looks bleak, and I’m not talking about this self-centered bunch of narcissist; I’m talking about the United States of America. The generation that has received trophies for merely participating has its mouth open squawking for a free meal. They believe they’re the first that has been dealt a bad hand. Well, boohoo you bunch of thumb suckers.

It takes a village was the rage in the 90’s. Little did we know the Democrats succored a bunch of arsonist.

The Genius of Wall Street Occupiers

This piece pretty much sums it up. The part I like is the kid with the deer in the spotlight eyes. "Don't say it bro!"


If you want to know who is funding these kids stick around to the end. You'll be happy to know that a Canadian organization is funneling money, along with the usual suspects like George Soros. But don't say it bro!

SEIU Thug Gives Instruction on Economic Terrorism and Co-opting Tea Party

Here we have an SEIU thug giving a lecture on how on to create and exploit a crisis. Notice at the 4:22 mark when this socialist explains how taking a bridge brings the fight to the “man”. That is exactly what the Wall Street Occupiers did in New York City.

Later, this same dirtbag exhorts his audience to co-opt the tea party by deceiving us into thinking that they have the same concerns and goals as we do. These people are outright scum. And you can see these tactics employed by the zombies on Wall Street.

Anarchist and Revolutionaires Try to Formulate Reason for Wall Street Occupation

The Wall Street Occupiers are nothing more than anarchist and revolutionaries. They are unable to articulate what they stand for, except for of course “change”. What that means nobody knows.

This new generation of revolutionaries is a sorry excuse compared to our founding fathers. That generation provided a Declaration of Independence; articulating their grievances. The groups who defile the streets of New York City are spoiled college students who don’t want to pay off their college loans. What a huge contrast.

What these diaper wearers don’t realize is that they got their hope and change in the 2008 election. And that is a bitter pill they don’t want to swallow.

Wall Street Occupiers Publish List of Demands

The Occupiers of Wall Street have finally lent a tongue to their anti-capitalistic protestations. Here are 13 proposals from the great unwashed (and I mean just that):

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Free trade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Are these people economic retards? Raising import tariffs is a tax on all of us. Where do these hippies think that cost is going to go? If they really want to level the playing field, then I suggest deregulation and outright abolition of federal agencies, and a simplification of the tax code.

As for a competitive wage, not many businesses can afford to pay $20 an hour. Wake up asshole.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

I take it these yahoos haven’t heard the horror stories of the Canadian and U.K. healthcare systems. It’s quite obvious that students wrote this nonsense.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

What in the hell is that supposed to mean?

Demand four: Free college education.

Nothing is free retard.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

And we’ve seen what kind of boondoggle that is. Hell, the alternative energy economy can’t survive without taxpayer largess. Can anybody say Solyndra, Solartech, etc...etc...etc

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

And that worked so well in the original Stimulus Bill. Please ...

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

If we restored the natural flow of the river systems, the whole west coast of California would become a ghost town. Actually, that might be a good idea.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

They actually mean special rights and privileges.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

That means the abolition of the United States. Only a communist would propose this kind of nonsense.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

International standards? And who will these independent and party observers consist of? Commies like the morons who wrote this dribble?

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Written by someone who has ran up a god awful debt.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

So all the irresponsible people can have unlimited credit. Didn’t we already learn that lesson?

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

Is that before or after getting an ass beating from an SEIU thug?

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Or we are sitting at home in the dark without a job and starving; listening to our argumentative neighbors who can’t speak a word of English.
