Obama's Occupy Wall Street Gang

This is desperation, folks.  The Obama campaign cannot run on his dismal, failed record, so they fall back on the ONE THING he has experience with: community organizing, a euphemism for rabble-rousing or mob rule.  The compliant media covers it in adoring tones and doesn't show all the violence and illegal activity that's going on: rape, assault, threats, drugs, vandalism, theft - and that's just for starters.   The longer they stay, the worse it will get.

Obama supporter hangs 'generic' banker in effigy.

Newsflash: Vilifying and demonizing the successful people in this economy - who, by the way, are the ones who are taking the risk in expanding their businesses or starting new ones, who do the hiring for the jobs these so-called 99% want - won't force them to take on MORE risk.  Just the opposite.  (Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...)  They'll keep on waiting on the sidelines until the business climate improves - sometime after November 6, 2012 when the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue vacates.

Having angry mobs (a combination of well-heeled college kids, old hippie socialist/Marxist anarchists, criminals and just plain old bums) hanging out on street corners and parks in blue cities around the country for weeks on end is a terrific gamble for the Obama camp.  The 20-30% of the country who self-describe as liberals must think the rest of the country will agree with them and jump on the democrat party bandwagon.  They couldn't be more mistaken.

This phony, Axelrod-orchestrated class warfare astroturf will backfire on them, big time.  This kind of thing might work in Chicago, but there are a lot more of us in 'flyover country' than they think.  This country is much more conservative than liberal.  We don't like mob rule.  We are a nation of laws.  Domestic terrorism won't work on us.  Our American way of life is under attack by this handful of union rent-a-thugs and hangers-on.  We are not 'into' socialism, we love freedom and all the positive things that come from capitalism and a free market economy. 

This miscalculation by Obama, just like ramming Obamacare down our throats last year, has awakened a sleeping giant - patriotic Americans.  Come election day 2012, normal every day Americans will show the Obama folks just how much they like lawless mobs defecating on their doorsteps and urinating in their parks, spouting anti-American slogans, doing drugs and other disgusting things. 

Obama's new campaign slogan is "We can't wait" - well, we can't wait either - until 11-6-12.  Hope and Change - indeed.......

Occupy Wall Street - You Gotta Laugh

I'm sure you've all seen this hilarious video, but I just have to show it anyway:

Hitler Discovers 'Occupy Wall Street' is a Laughingstock

This just about says it all.

The Democrat Party Left Me

For Halloween way back in the fall of 1960, my mother created a costume for me called a "Crazy Mixed-Up Voting Machine" which consisted of a big cardboard box with a hole in the top for my head, plastered on all sides with pictures from magazines of both Kennedy and Nixon.  I remember watching the Kennedy-Nixon debates on tv.  After the election, I used to come home from school and actually watch Kennedy's press conferences - pretty unusual for a ten-year-old.

My parents weren't politically active, but they were Democrats.  They never discussed politics, at least not in front of us kids, but they always pulled the lever for the "D" candidate.  So I grew up a slightly left-leaning child, and when I went to college, thanks to the political climate of the 1960s, I leaned left even more.   After college, I lived in a forced-union state, and worked in unionized school systems, which are even more left-leaning.  Looking back, I have voted for some pretty stinky candidates over the years, simply because they were Democrats.  Like many others, I suppose, I voted with my co-workers and family, mirroring their political beliefs.  I'm very glad some of those horrible hopefuls lost their elections.  I'm not very proud of my blind support of those Democrats.  I think I was just lazy politically, letting the union 'suggest' which candidate deserved my vote.

I've been out of the union now for about 6 years, and my husband and I are small business owners.  It sure gives a person a different perspective.  As the 2008 elections approached, I was ambivalent about how I would vote.  I decided to read each candidate's book to give me some insight into Obama and McCain that would help me decide who to vote for.

In McCain's book, "Faith of My Fathers" I learned about the purposely broken bones and brutal beatings he endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, and how he stood up to his captors for five and a half long years.  I finished that book and thought, "What a patriot."  Then I read "Dreams From My Father" by Obama.  In that book, I learned of Obama's somewhat unusual childhood and priviledged upbringing - a muslim school in Indonesia, a private school in Hawaii, expensive Ivy League colleges, his choice of friends (by his own admission in the book, he always sought out the Marxist professors, the structural feminists, and more radical black and/or foreign students) and his job choice - to be a community organizer - basically a paid rabble-rouser.  As I finished it, I remember saying to myself, "This guy is a Socialist!.....A guy who is running for President of the United States of America as a Democrat is a Socialist.....how can this be?"  That is when I started questioning my many years of voting with the Ds. 

After the 2008 election, I watched as the Democrats shut out the Republicans in Congress every chance they got.  The forcing of Obamacare against the obvious will of the American people was the last straw.  At the same time, the Tea Party started taking shape in my area.  Curious, I went to a few of their meetings.  I found them to be sensible people who yearned for their country to 'get back to the basics' - follow the constitution.  They were anti-bank bailout, anti-stimulus, and for common sense values - smaller government, self-reliance, and all those other American values I grew up with.  I had found a home.  At Tea Party meetings, I also found other disaffected former Democrats, as well as some former Republicans, who were tired of their party slowly moving to the left, toward more social programs, away from fiscal responsibility and other core Republican values.

Now, as I watch the group of thugs in the 'Occupy Wall Street' mob (backed by labor unions and the Communist Party USA, with the tacit approval of President Obama), listen to leftists like Stephen Lerner discuss how to terrorize Washington DC, and see the hate spewing forth from Democrat Party faithfuls like Roseanne Barr, Michael Moore, Morgan Freeman, Janeane Garafalo, Alec Baldwin and other Hollywood 'celebrities' directed toward the Tea Party and other Americans, simply because they don't agree with them, I realize that the Democrat Party has slid dangerously far to the radical left.  Today, John F. Kennedy would not recognize his party.  As Ronald Reagan said in 1962, "I didn't leave the Democrat Party.  The party left me."
