The Pirate Strategy

He’s right. A vote for Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich is a vote for the 1%. These guys want to lower taxes on the super rich even lower than they already are while screwing everyone else even further into the ground. If you would get over your irrational hatred of Obama you would see this clearly. Look at their actual policies.

If you would get over your irrational hatred of Obama you would see this clearly. Look at their actual policies.

I think you have distilled the coming campaign down to a simple narrative that is both comical and prophetic.

Before hiz nibz was even sworn in, there was a common metaphor that swirled about and it was that of The Emperor’s New Clothes.  The strategy you lay out is now finally exposed as EXACTLY THAT !

In her latest “Ah Ha” moment, Dowd finally confesses in the public square that the Obamas arrogantly believe that people just don’t appreciate and understand how amazing they are.  We disappoint THEM!  They have no logical choice left but to try and convince the masses of just how beautiful and stunning the masterpiece of hiz reign has been, and of the grandeur of his destiny… the wun we have been waiting for.

Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich has hijacked the role of the little child (who I believe was a little girl named Sarah in the original movie!) and simply has had the nerve to say what EVERYONE has been dying to hear…

Look!  The emperor has no clothes!

No Joe… you and your fellow Newt lovers are not “everyone.” You are a small minority as a quick look at Newt’s favorables will prove.

Obama the Great protecting the country from the rampaging evil Republicans is typical juvenile rhetoric. Ditto from the right. Silly and not worthy of adults.

With the win by Gingrich in SC the right can’t even occupy the “moral” high ground.

Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D’OH), have filed a bill aimed at controlling gasoline prices. Styled the “Gas Price Spike Act”,
H.R. 3784 would establish a “Reasonable Profits Board” which would have
the power to confiscate 100% of oil company profits above a level that
they deem to be “reasonable”.

Liberals tend to be incredibly naive and this is a colossal example of how they underestimate the intelligence of the American people.  Does Obama truly think that none of us has been aware of this about face after 3 years of giving us just the opposite?
I hope that stupidity continues because it only makes us madder that we are treated as such simpletons. It’s a great motivator.
Who among us does not see that this is hypocrisy at it’s most finely honed?  Who doesn’t see that he plans to ‘undo’ and blame the Republicans for his own actions, his own signing statements, his own partisan eliminations of Republican input from the very start of his administration? 
It’s not sufficient that we say that those who voted for him and will vote for him again deserve what they get.  Far too much is at stake for us to let any of this slide.  We need to do as Bill Clinton did: each ad and accusation must be met immediately with a strong and unequivocal response which puts the lie to Obama’s exaggerations and misdirections as well as his denials of his part in the mess in which we find ourselves.
This is of his making and we need to make him own it.  Use his own words against him.  Didn’t he say that if he hadn’t turned the economy around in his first term, he will be a one term president?
Now is the time for him to put up or shut up.

Interesting that you should put down the Republicans as working for the rich when the majority of the people that have benefited from Obama’s administration are the rich.
Just look at the last 4 years; the middle class and poor have been getting poorer while our taxes have been going to pay for the Corporate elite’s million dollar bonuses.
Ck out what is happening across the country…its not the rich that are downsizing into homeless shelters, and being filtered of the unemployment rolls because they finally ran out of unemployment benefits.
Im will say I am still wondering when the blacks will wake up to their messiah’s message, since it seems their ethic group seems to be the one that has risen the most % wise in the unemployment ranks.

There is only one 1%, and that is the 1% remaining who still can’t see that their emperor is naked. (Unlicensed knock-offs of the wunz outfit can be found on the clearance rack at the Vanity Fair Outlet for $9.99!)

And by the way, I am NOT a Newt fan, I would much rather prefer a different messenger and standard bearer… but like it or not, HE is the one who may finally be putting a chinck in the armour of the media who has been derelict in their duties. 

“POTUS Obama presents the fog of the campaign early in order to give time for his team to build an alternative narrative that argues a vote for the GOP is a vote for plutocracy. ”
It is more than a narrative. It is the truth.

All the GOP and the Tea Party (and most on NQ) have is Obama is a commie, socialist, unAmerican, Non-American, elitist, racist, muslim, etc.

Tell me which side is the most over-the-top and built a BS narrative?

“(Whisper: the Q2 GDP has the final vote.)”

We will see how much of a socialist commie Obama is when Q4 GDP comes in at around 3%. How are you a commie with record corporate profits, a stock market that has recovered 70% of its value since Obama took office, etc. ?

You mean turn the economy around the same way he turned around those slums of Jarret`s and Rezko ?

What I hate about politics is that it has taken on the same tone as the culture of sports in this country for many. 

I remember clearly working in a quality assurance department of a big disc manufacturer as a technical writer.  We had a big quality assurance division meeting once at which we were subjected to a documentary video of Vince Lombardi.  And the point of the meeting was that our philosophy should be the same as Lombardi’s:  Winning is the only thing.  And who were we supposed to be fighting with, you ask?  Why none other than the same company’s manufacturing department. 

The other salaried female, also a technical writer, were just dumbstruck that so much of our time that day was spent watching a football documentary.  We also were the only two asking this:  Aren’t both our departments working for the same company?  Shouldn’t we be finding ways to work with each other for the betterment of the company?  We were brushed aside as “girls.”

I remember watching the DNC go into the same mode:  Winning was all that mattered, not how the Dems won.  There was no consideration of the fact that they were using underhanded bully tactics to ensconce the candidate they felt could really win big, without regard for their own party members who were working for another candidate (who actually won the most actual votes).

Now I see the idiots in the GOP doing the same thing.  Winning is the ONLY thing to them, and right now after Newts tirade against the media, they’ve given up their principles simply for the sake of winning.

We know the Dems under Obama will play Chicago-style politics (never considering the state of affairs for most of the poor in Chicago and the fact that they’ve done very little for them). 

After SC’s primary, I’m not feeling much sympathy for the GOP, though, Bronwyn, I do get your point. 

When will we consider that we are citizens of the U.S.  (unless you count the illegals the Dem has encouraged to vote).  We should be working for the same cause in the end.  We should be acknowledging that each side has strongly held principles and beliefs.  We should be looking to find people with good character in both parties, not just people who can win at all costs.  We should not be dirtying ourselves by voting for candidates whose characters are questionable just because we think they can win.

I am quite sick of politics today.

Seriously well said! Gingrich & Romney have both said they plan on lowering taxes on the rich to even lower levels… they are planning on doubling down on Bush’s most disastrous policies which benefit only the rich. This is the truth. And yet the GOP’s attacks on Obama are almost entirely fantasy. Just crazy stuff that has no relationship to reality. It’s bizarre really… that it’s got to this point.

Obama was handed the Bush Depression. We have now had 22 consecutive months of private sector job growth. Obama has grown the economy despite all Republican attempts at sabotaging it for political gain. Obama will win this November and it won’t even be close.

Sorry about the grammatical mistakes–I hit the post button accidentally before I could proofread.  But you can get my drift.

What’s “moral” about Mitt Romney stashing millions of dollars in the Cayman Islands and strapping his dog to his roof? Gordon Gekko wasn’t a “moral” character and neither is his real world counterpart Mitt Romney.

Nonsense. Despite the fantasy world that folks like yourself live in: Obama is not that unpopular. He is more popular than all of the GOP candidates and he has decent (but not great) approval ratings. He is currently at 46% on Gallup. With this weak GOP field that is certainly high enough to win reelection.

Hang on a sec.  Is this Jared??  From Ditmas Avenue??

I am in the middle-class and I am worse off than I was 3 years ago.  How can he say all this stuff when he’s done squat????

Frankly I prefer the company of pirates.

higher gas prices, thanks to EPA in the Caribbean

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who
had

this to say to an interviewer of The New Republic, about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of
agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a
rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not
living up to their own standards.  As with the panhandler, he could be
aggressive and confrontational.  With probing, sometimes personal
questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing
down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they
could make things better.”

The agitator’s job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the
“realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the
fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them
to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an
almighty stink that the dastardly  governments and corporations
will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will
cause the harassment to cease.

In these methods, euphemistically labeled “community organizing,” Obama
had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he
ever got anywhere.

In the real world………we call someone like this a BULLSHITTER.

awwwww…..Obots in love….

I wish I could Like this about 10x.

I’ve come to the conclusion that everything you said is right. Winning at all costs. The American people are continually being thrown under the bus by the government elite who busy themselves dividing us so that they can remain in power.

I got to thinking this morning about what it would take to shake things up. And I think I have an answer. It would certainly freak out the establishment on both sides.

Now that Gingrich has exploited the racial hatred and religious
bigotry of conservatives to win the SC primary, Mitt Romney has an
opportunity to land a crushing blow to his momentum. He needs to go back
to SC, stand on the Capital lawn and utter these words: “Governor Haley, Tear Down this Flag!”

Nonsense, you say. Doing so would seal his fate with so-called
conservative voters. Perhaps, but who needs those racist assholes
anyway?

It would shock the world. It would take the race card out of the
Democrats hands. It would restore legitimacy to the party of Lincoln
that abolished slavery. It would pull in fiscally responsible blacks
that now shy away from the party because of the social policies of
tolerated racism that the far right embrace. In short, it would make him
an American hero.

Talk about your game changers.

I know… it’ll never happen. Or will it?

More on my blog.

The elites ON BOTH SIDES need to go.  Arrogance appears to be a genetic component of power, and that is another reason they don’t want that pipeline to go forward.  They now realize that energy sources in private hands is a threat to them in the end.

It is like we are living in some weird mix of George Orwell’s 1984 and have fallen down another rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland.  The politial elites keep looking for ways to maintain and gain more power while the masses are beginning to push back harder and harder.

How orderly or how ugly will it be?  The thing with Newt is not pretty, but why as Brit Hume has said are so much of the establishment worried about him?

It ISN’T because of “moral highground”, and that much is a fact!  The balance of power is a strange thing.  Maybe, it takes someone as wreckless as him to shake things up?

Wait a minute, bucko.

What do Romney, Gingrich, AND Barky all have in common?

They are ALL part of the “1 percent”.

Now Dr. Paul’s income may well have exceeded $400K.

But common sense will tell you he’s the relative pauper of the crew.

Tie that in with the fact that he is the ONLY antiwar candidate, and a clear choice emerges.

I’m not one to (frequently) tout one candidate over another, but your comment infers support for the OWS movement, and I cannot imagine how one can support OWS’s goals and still vote for Obama, when his ass is indelibly branded “Sponsored By Goldman Sachs”…

I don’t get you.

Nope, not at all.

Most people are afraid to be accused of being racist if they voice disapproval.  The privacy of the voting booth will be a liberating thing.

each ad and accusation must be met immediately with a strong and
unequivocal response which puts the lie to Obama’s exaggerations and
misdirections

Yep, exactly. Destroy his BS with the truth. Everything needs to be backed up with sources, gov documents and the like. Including what scraps that can be found within the liberal media.

It would be interesting to resurrect Obama’s sleazy dealing with Rezko and demonstrate that his recent actions since being elected are a pattern of the same slime.

Oh yeah. Things are rosy all over.

That’s not socialist at all. Snark

Where’s the Occupy Gingrich crowd when you really need them?

Cabrini Green PJs?

So nightmarishly mismanaged and lacking in oversight, they had to be demolished, to hide the evidence of pure neglect and malfeasance.

And they claim it all to be one of their SUCCESS stories.  There’s a basketball court there, so miraculous, you send your kid there if you want him capped.

The SHAME of it, the absolute shame of willing Democrats, who knew from easily accessed press exposes of both Rezko and Blagovich, and chose a puppet from their ranks ANYWAY.

Please take your class warfare and shove it up some Democrat’s ass. I hear some of them like that.

OMG THAT ISSS HILSTARICAL!

Brilliant satire! Thanks for making me LOL!

You should have stopped at the first sentence.

With that, I would have concurred.

But, NOOOOOOOO…..

Funny, I kind of liked Gordon Gecko.

“Greed, for all practical purposes, is good!”

Yeah, my sentence structure is all over the place from cutting and pasting.

Disagree.

The first shot in ”class warfare” was fired by Saint Reagan, at the air traffic controllers.

I sincerely hope that you and your fellow supporters of Obama (that would be both of them) continue with your deluded, rewrite of history.
You do not speak of the calibre of jobs Obama has ‘created’.  How many of them are part time?  How many of them are at McDonalds?  How many of them are grossly under-employed former well paid workers?
Obama has skewed the statistics to make it look as though he’s created far more than the true pitiful numbers.  What of the numbers of those who have stopped looking for work after several Obama years of trying?
No, it won’t work because we are understand the attempted rewrites when we see them.
One and done!

Yeah, but that’s among those willing to declare their preferences, and many are loath to do so publicly or on landline telephones.

(Most Paul supporters are cellie people, and are disproportionately left out of polling.)

I reserve the right to change my vote up until the last SECOND before hitting the (rigged)
Diebold machine’s button.

I also reserve the right to not participate in this foolishness, if the mood should strike me.

It’s a powerful political statement.  Particularly if you’re lucky enough to vote at a polling station, where the presstitutes linger, like vultures.

They LOVE me (as you can well imagine, LOL!)

I reserve the right to walk right up to those double doors, appear conflicted, throw up my hands in complete disgust, and TELL them why I cannot go through with voting, today.

We learned well from Barky’s Little Helpers in 2008.

Sorry Scotty.  This was directed at marvie marks.

i think that’s the campaign romney has been trying to run.  and it’s the kind of president he would be.  a writer from boston this morning referred to romney as someone who brought in the best and the brightest when he was governor and was interested in the facts and looked for solutions.  let’s see if he can prevail

I was surprised by Newt’s margin of victory, but South Carolina has chronic unemployment hovering near 10%, and had to fight the Boeing battle with Obama’s unions.
Some people in focus groups said they would not look to Washington D.C. for a moral compass. I heartily agree with their sentiments in that regard!

What’s moral about giving millions to Wall Street and banks, supposedly to save us?  What’s moral about insisting on a second stimulus, one that did very little for us and became pork barrel feast, and a payback to his rich backers, i.e., Solyndra.  What’s moral about running around the country, on our dime making speeches that are meaningless, using that time to make campaign speeches and do fund raisers.  What’s moral about declaring you will be trying to fund a BILLION dollar campaign.  What’s moral about taking numerous vacations, and when you go on vacation, you and your family can’t possibly take the same flight, so that is would save the country hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Obama comes straight out of Chicago politics- the sleaziest politics known to man.  Go away Marvin, no one believes you.

forget  the Q2 GDP numbers that are coming out.  the numbers that we are going to be fed are going to be bull just as the numbers that were fed during the obama care debate.  the real unemployment numbers are much higher.  larry posted an article about that some time ago.

if we (the USA) were a company, we’d be declaring bankruptcy or looking for a govt handout or looking for bain to come in and save us. 

look around you.  the american economy is in trouble.  people have lost real wealth; they’ve lost value in their 401Ks; new jobs are not as well paying; their homes are worth less; the national debt is an albatross around our necks that we really cannot pay and all anyone in DC is talking about is how to slow the increase in the debt not how to reduce it, and all they are thinking about is their own re-election. 

look at romney’s tax plan.  it looks to help the middle class. 

You don’t own a business or you would understand that in the real world-Main Street, USA, our bottom line has gotten worse, with each successive year Obama has been in business.  I wouldn’t trust any statistics his administration puts out.

was surprised to see dowd’s most recent column.  if she starts in on obama, he’s in trouble.

romney earned his money the old fashioned way — through hard work and risking his own money to make more.  i agree that dr paul also earned money outside of govt.  the newter and santorum have only earned govt dollars and post-govt influencing dollars.

newt won one state.  a state that he should have won (southern like he is); just as romney should have won NH. 

Iowa repudiated him.

let’s see what FL does.  it’s not tailor made for Romney; it has a lot of the same elements as SC but not also has a lot of non-SC electorate.

Are you sure your name isn’t Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

This is going to be a delegate fight…..

Don’t just blame EPA. The lawyers screwed this facility and the island over by continually delaying litigation…. The St Coix Hess facility was a disaster to begin with….

Oh please…

There must have been some bad mushrooms on the greasy LEFTover pizza you ate cold for breakfast this morning.

Gabby Giffords stepping down

http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/2012/01/22/20120122gabrielle-giffords-stepping-down-congress.html#breakingnews

The best and brightest? He has the Bush machine working for him….

How does Romney’s effective tax rate compare to the recent presidential nominees from the major parties?

In 2004, John Kerry and his wife released portions of their separate
tax returns that showed the couple paid an effective federal tax rate of
about 13 percent on $5.5 million in income from the year before. (At
first, Kerry only released his own tax return. He later released the
first two pages of the tax return of his millionaire wife, Teresa
Heinz.) Some conservatives, like Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth,
used Kerry’s effective tax rate to criticize him for his opposition to a
flat tax that would raise his taxes. George and Laura Bush paid
about 28 percent of their income in taxes in 2003, though their yearly
income was a tenth of the Kerrys’ that same year. Vice President Dick Cheney, meanwhile, paid only 20 percent of his $1.3 million income in taxes in 2003.

B-but Roger Simon said so….

No problem.

But I’d like to add something to your accurate assessment of underemployment, being portrayed as employment.

We’re all used to politicians playing fast and loose with our very flawed statistical analysis, that get juiced up or down with each ideological wind.

But, I think what’s so fundamentally insulting about the manner that the Democrats are going at this, is, you can SEE how many people are out of work.

We all know families, doubling and tripling up, taking in kinfolk in attics and storage areas, until their houses are ready to burst.

We SEE the vacant stores.

We’re all personally helping out someone, in one way or another.

It’s as if Team Barky is preaching “Word Of Faith” prosperity gospel, where you are not to call it as it is, but how you wish it to be!

But the government cannot “create” jobs (except WPA style, and that’s not feasible, in today’s world), the “job creators” cannot “create jobs”, it must be organic, natural, free as possible from intervention, and PRACTICAL, not pie-in-the-sky.

IMHO, free enterprise and cottage industries are the only way to go, because the old jobs are not coming back, we have to reindustrialize on a gargantuan scale, and any “created jobs” will fall by the wayside, the minute the next political winds blow.

It has to be a multifaceted effort, not just fending off the complicit media and the unwashed masses, until the next quarterly totals.

Deregulation is nasty business, particularly when the last two decades’ efforts have been tainted by favoritism and corruption.

Both the Dems and Reps seem to be to think in sound bites, and I don’t think either party’s establishment types have what this takes.

But we’ve SEEN what havoc the Chicago machine can wreak, for whatever twisted motives are behind it.

And we should not have to tolerate a government we fear, in this way.

I have lived in a communist country, and I never thought I’d say this, but this is becoming worse.

I keep seeing the same nightly newscast, with the same picture of a tractor, with the up arrow “Productivity Up 34%”, that never changes, but the facts on the ground never remotely reflect the propaganda.

“Calling Sy Hersh, Calling Sy Hersh….”

The problem is, there’s no shortage of reckless in Washington, to pick from.

To do “reckless”, you also need equivalent extra helpings of mental strength, perseverance, laser-like focus, and total resistance to moral terpitude, to make up the difference.

This is not Newt Gingrich.  Not even on a good day.

Too busy laughing their asses off (serious).

That was in the eighties, Joe!

There was still some bacon in the fridge.

Nah, not even close…

Waffles, if you must know.

And not from Eggo, either.

Homemade, on the TOASTMASTER!

Currant jam, butter, bagels, smoked breakfast sausage, and Bratkartoffeln with onions….

Maxwell House, black.

Then I wandered out, chopped ice for an hour…

And I have all of my own hair.

What more should I expect, Joe?

Should I live in Gothic gloom?

why do you say that?  and the comment was about his years as the Gov of MA. 

Sadly, I have to agree with you.  I would add one thing, though.

We must stop the outflow of jobs abroad which should be given to Americans in America.  There have to be substantial disincentives for business owners to use foreign venues and foreign labor to produce products which WE buy.
I know some will say that we can’t offend China or upset trade balances, but they don’t seem to be concerned about our problems here, so perhaps we should spend less time catering, Obama fashion, to their wishes.
We needs to make it easier for innovators and entrepreneurs to establish and maintain businesses here.  I’ve mentioned Peter Schiff a number of times because he speaks eloquently about what forced him to open business abroad.  The government actually fined him for hiring ‘too many people’/
There is something desperately wrong here.

You lost me at the MAXWELL HOUSE … ugh!

I’m an elitist when it comes to coffee.  I grind fresh roasted beans EVERY morning.

(I get my beans from a small-batch roaster every couple of weeks.)

and he got selected.   

I knew the OWS was there because Romney was going to be the nominee… the media is force feeding Romney and the OWS people are just advance Obama tools… sure they might not even know that… but they are. The question is… are we going to fall for that and let the media give us an Obama enema… since we aren’t taking him willingly… or are we going to fight for the America we grew up in for the sake of our children? Like it or not the alternate possibilities are Newt and in another dimension in time… Paul. Since this isn’t the twilight zone Newt is the only chance we have. It’s a shitty hand but it’s the hand we have been dealt.

We aren’t supposed to be driving to begin with… we all just need to live in very small condominiums near our government job and walk to work… those without jobs can have the same condominium… because fair is fair and we all should have the same things… except make theirs close to the cheese lines. Problem solved.

The thing about Florida is the snowbirds want their Obama socialism and they aren’t going to participate in the primary because they don’t like either republican. Romney is conservative light but the people with one hand out prefer Obama truth be told. Romney is in for a rude awakening… it will foreshadow the general if he makes it that far.

Especially ironic since the prices spike in part because the oil companies can’t produce as they would produce under a normal market condition due to regulation. Then the other part is speculation secondary to the supply shortage created by the regulated lack of normal production. These guys can’t understand they are feeding the speculators gravy by causing the shortages with policy?

Obama does have no clothes… and yes Newt is the one who is not afraid to say that and who has been placed in a position with nothing to lose in saying that. Obama should be worried.

Watch Obama’s supporters say these things to steal Newt’s fire.

The Chicago press mob speaketh….

I lived in Boston when Romney was Governor… Brightest? Yeah if you use a 40watt light bulb as a measuring mark…

His Presidential campaign staff is loaded with Bushies…. Best and brightest? Far from it….

Brit Hume? Another Newt….

It’s passive aggression against the system… which is why he is good at it… it comes natural to him.

“Can the GOP nominee Mitt Romney present American capitalism in some fashion other than as piracy?”

Two words could do it.  ”Never Again.”  Never again to another meltdown. The ‘free enterprise’ card didn’t work against Newt even in a deep red state.  (When have we ever before seen a candidate win a GOP primary by moving to the left?)  If the GOP campaigns as if the meltdown never happened–which is hallucinatory–welcome to 4 more years.  I don’t know if Romney can turn it around because he’s tagged himself by playing the silly ‘free enterprise’ card.  Newt has positioned himself to thread the needle: ”Yes, I believe in free enterprise.  But capitalism is not a suicide pact.  I will never let a bunch of reckless financiers destroy the American economy.  Never Again!”

Doc, I’m TOLD, that Barky’s actually in collusion with fellow Luciferian Michael Bloomberg, to dismantle, discredit or at least take the wind out of the movement’s sails, at least for now.  That’s in direct opposition to what you’ve recounted.  And this brain trust has chosen to disregard the NYPD and everyone else could have told them….the revolution has been postponed, on account of snow.  And cold.

The public-sector unions in NYC, are overwhelmingly black, and hold the largely white college kids and unemployed, with utter contempt.

The predominately white trade unions hate their guts, and Barky as well.  So there’s not much entree there.

It’s the “trustafarians” and NYU students that’ll follow Obama, but only by default.  Whose fault is it, that no respectable leadership and strong positive role models are apparent from the opposition? 

You should be pleased.  Some of these Barksters have “gone to DC”, LOL!  This is all meaningless street theater, that costs little.

Nobody can tell where, and how infiltrated they are (I choose to rely on feedback from outside observers, media, and people I know, rather than internet communiques and the like).

NYC is different from everywhere else.

But the following should give you pause.  I’d heard rumors of the “Freedom From Religion” people, harassing protesters and ridiculing them, while seemingly pushing their usual anti-religion agenda.

And, now, there’s this…

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/god_awful_ows_mob_VqPjFDW0n234NhA9hxsxnL

If the Chicago machine were attempting to set up the movement, this city is full of anti-religion fanatics far more extreme and problematic than any OWSer.  Think Garafalo, with no coat, and half a load on, screeching in the snow.

But the movement already has atheists galore, albeit the peaceful variety. I don’t get how the Dems would dare employ such undisciplined flakes, when anything so detrimental in image and message tracked back to Chicago, especially with the cops hard to nail Barky’s ass, by any means possible.

Fanatical atheists, like most true anarchists, have loyalty to no man.
More importantly, every street, every corner, and certainly every house of worship is under total surveillance in Manhattan, 24/7.

This reeks of “manufactured incident”, but it should be monitored.

The “anarchists” you’ve mentioned in Tampa have apparently decamped to Far Rockaway, a remote ghetto area at the ass end of city limits, past the airport.

Take no shit from them, under any circumstances.  Stare them down, do not flinch if confronted, even if defenseless.  They are chickenshit, one on one.  Even in groups.  Don’t freak.

Doc, sympathizers like myself would be totally unrecognizable to you.
I dress well, conservatively, collared shirt, pressed khakis, etc.

I do not use the working-class vernacular of my upbringing in public, or “slacker collegiate”, and do not respond reflectively to those not of my acquaintance.  I am fit, 6 foot 4, 280 pounds, not “hipster skinny” or the haunted junkie chic, short but not fascist haircut, moustache, goatee, but otherwise, clean shaven…I use no drugs, and appear temperate, when in public.

I’m not the skinny hipster or “junkie collegiate” you see in press reports.

But I could be the father of the fine young lady, your son brings home to marry.

I could be the congenial detective, who walks you through the documentation you need, to file your insurance claim.

I could be your stockbroker, your fraud investigator, the helpful owner of your local plumbing supply warehouse.  I could be your last patient, on any given day, for my annual exam.

And OWS is nowhere near as partisan or easily identifiable as you think.

So don’t sweat the small stuff.

Just be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.

Believe half of what you see, and nothing that you hear, even me.

Many are willing to follow a blueprint for global enslavement.

But you are not meant to live in a spirit of fear.  Fear not.

And take care of yourself, sir.  Really.

Blessings to her, in her future pursuits.

That’s ten watts, if you use an energy-efficient compact fluorescent.

I wonder how long they’d last in Old Colony, or West Broadway, or any of the other places Mitt would never recognize.

Not in the budget.

Besides, the primo stuff gives me the trots.

Push back!

There’s a difference between holding your tongue to spare feelings, and reaming out some weak, tiresome fucker whose only claim to fame is to pull their personalized (insert name of disadvantaged minority) card…

This is the root of how our entire society has come undone.

Politicians made promises and expected us to honor them, for them.

Whenever possible, resist this programming!

We’re living in a world we never made, my man.

GDP at 1.8 in 3rd quarter. What part of that sentence makes you think we’re creating private sector job growth? You’re either a moron or a liar. Take your pick, because there are no other choices with people like you. 

I like Peter Schiff, because he has a straightforward, inspirational message, yet is honest about the pitfalls.
