Look ma, no brains!

It wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that the Occupy Wall Street and its fellow travelers across the country and the world don’t impress me much.

Here’s Peter Schiff, the guy better known to many of you as the guy who got fined for hiring too many people, at the Occupy Wall Street protest.

This would be amusing if it weren’t so brain-numbingly frustrating.

And the lady who wants to see the Bush tax cuts repealed and hates the 1 percent is in the mortgage business? How much blame would her idiot fellow-travelers place on her for the recent financial meltdown.

In other idiot news, here in sleepy little SLO, the Occupy SLO protesters have split, it seems that they can’t just get along. I walked past the encampment earlier this evening. There appeared to be fewer than a dozen tents and maybe 25-30 people at the time. I had to suppress the urge to tell the hippies to get off the lawn.

Finally, from the “OWS is more genuine than the Tea Party” file comes word that apparently “more genuine” means “doesn’t have to follow the law, pay for permits, etc.”

The Richmond Tea Party is lashing out at Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones for what it sees as the city’s preferential treatment of the Occupy Richmond protesters encamped at Kanawha Plaza.

The tea party group is sending Jones an invoice for the charges incurred for the Tax Day rallies it has held at the plaza the past three years, arguing that the Occupy Wall Street offshoot group squatting there has been using the park illegally and free of charge since Oct. 15.

“The tea party keeps being compared to the occupiers. Well, in the way we’re treated, there’s no comparison. It’s like a slap in the face,” said Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens.

Owens said her group has shelled out about $10,000 for the three rallies held there, including a rental fee for use of the park, various permits and other expenses. She added that the rallies were scheduled with the city months in advance and that the group held fundraisers to cover the required costs, which included police presence and portable toilets.

“The city of Richmond is allowing Occupy Richmond to blatantly break the law day after day while forcing other groups to strictly comply,” a news release from the tea party group said.

Do Democrats seriously want to ally themselves with this?

  1. "Do Democrats seriously want to ally themselves with this?"

    Oh yes. Do you really think this is going to be reported anywhere other than here and maybe Fox News? I look forward to being wrong.

  2. It's from the same people pulling strings before this country was even a country. And when they own the information, they can bend it all they want...Sad but true...Even the OWS is part of the same manipulation, books-publications-new age-self-help media designed to create social anomies & put strain theory into high gear, all psy-war in the name of social engineering. Believe me, there are people behind the scenes steps ahead of what these people are doing on the ground. But what everyone needs to realize is that money is the de facto shackle. It's grease for a greaseless application. It's no wonder the same stuff keeps happening to the public over and over again, throughout history getting screwed, lives devastated, but still keeping up appearances. I can just picture the 1% in their ivory towers saying to each other as they look down on the 99%, "It's amazing how long we've kept this charade and house of cards going with them doing all the work and us re-harvesting money we 'lend' them to play a fake game; and fight amongst themselves to keep our oppressive system in place AND they still don't get it. Ignorance is truly bliss! Vive la ignorance, cheers!" 1% are sociopaths using their power for evil and the occupiers and bums are sociopaths trying to use what's left of their power for the collective good. Pay attention to the prophets, for their actions are their words...
