I guess they’re not quite as dedicated (News and Observer) Protesters spent a second day outside the state Capitol building Sunday to show their frustration with government, which they said is too much under the influence of wealthy corporations. Except, they aim their barbs not at government, but, at the private sector. The Occupy folks […]

After listening to many wonderful speakers (and some who decided to interject their own political messages) discuss Martin Luther King, Jr., (NM)President Obama couldn’t resist interjecting his own far left politics and pandering (Washington Times) Drawing parallels between civil rights legend Martin Luther King Jr. and his own leadership challenges, President Obama […]

Funny, I don’t remember them ever attempting to explain the TEA Party point of view (LA Times) How do you know when a protest movement is starting to scare the pants off the establishment? One clue is when the protesters are casually dismissed as hippies or rabble, or their principles redefined as class envy or […]

Remember who all those TEA Partiers were arrested during many of the protests? No? They weren’t? There were barely any arrests, if any? There were permits and stuff, and the TP’s acted in a civil manner? How about the 99 Percenters? Boston police moved in and began arresting scores of Occupy Boston protesters who refused […]

Now, imagine this occurred at a Tea Party rally; every news organization would have it as headline news (NY Post) The criminals are crashing the party. Lured by cheap drugs and free food, creepy thugs have infiltrated the crowd of protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Street, The Post has learned. “I […]

And, when I call them morons, I’m not simply using typical language that us folks in political blogging use against our opponents (unlike those on the left, I do not consider them enemies, like the left thinks about the right): in this case, they are morons. Here’s a CNBC story from Friday which jumped into […]
