Occupy Wall Street's Denial of Marxist Influence: Busted!

Newton R. Treehugger is simply one of many who were fed Marxist propaganda from the time they were in grade school to their very long and delayed graduation from a university. Unicorns and rainbows were promised. Meanwhile, they have found there is no demand for a degree in Gender Studies and realize they really don't have anything useful to contribute to the economy. As you might imagine, Newton R. Treehugger is very, very bitter.

We have mixed feelings about the Newton R. Treehuggers of the world. On one hand, they were told they had to go to college if they didn't want a job flipping burgers. So, they dutifully attended their classes and graduated, facing a very tough economy. Now a job flipping burgers may be all that's available for the moment. On the other hand, they didn't sign up for that. They signed up for a quick path toward the corner office. Or tenured positions. Or something like that.

While in college, they perhaps received the biggest mind-job ever performed upon a generation of students. While many eighteen-year olds left high school with the intention of learning something useful and getting a decent job; they instead got side-swiped by radical professors who condemned the American Dream. As far as these leftist professors were concerned, wanting to earn enough money to buy your own house was tantamount to kidnapping an American Indian and nailing him to a cross.

So the leftist professors went to work on the Newton R. Treehuggers, telling them that America was an Imperialist nation full of xenophobes, homophobes, and just plain ole' phobes who didn't know David Hume from Brit Hume. They told Newton R. Treehugger that Americans were selfish if they wanted to keep the money they earned. They said the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack deserved it. They said capitalism was oppressive and ultimately unfair. (They just made sure never to invite their students to their home.) They joined Occupy Wall Street and outed themselves as a Communist.

So how is Marxism tied to Occupy Wall Street? A few items:

1. The protesters target corporations. Much is said about how "unfair" it is that a CEO makes millions of dollars while other employees make a fraction of that amount. This is a common strategy by Marxists. Create resentment and jealousy and then call it inequality. They conveniently forget the fact that CEO's know how to make the right decisions at the right time. This is uncommon in a group of employees and worth the compensation. Coupled with interpersonal relationship skills, a voracious appetite for learning, and the courage to implement change -- all makes for a leader who keeps the company ship afloat. (And workers employed...) Marxism has a big problem with capitalism. Because as long as people can individually support themselves, government is limited in its control. Marxists hate that.


2. The protesters try to put everyone into one big unhappy bunch. Government change cannot occur if everyone is satisfied. First, the masses need to be agitated toward dissatisfaction with the status quo before the Marxist solution can be presented. Marxism is very uncreative. The only thing it can do is fool people into thinking capitalism is a "dictatorship" where only a few elite are in control. The irony here is that Marxism removes what they present as "dictatorship" while replacing it with a true dictatorship -- one that is vastly more oppressive than anything capitalism has produced. Look at Cuba.


3. The protesters very "occupation" (squatting) of private property illustrates Marxism's repudiation of property ownership. Marxism claims that owning private property is the root of class division. So it's no surprise that the protesters are claiming they have a "right" to "occupy everywhere." Their recent clash with Trinity Church exposed their warped mindset. Somehow it's "unjust" for Trinity to refuse them squatting rights when their private property isn't being used (according to the Occupy Wall Street's assumptions.). Private property is, in the words of David Horowitz, "a bulwark of human liberty." Horowitz goes on to say this:

There are no democratic societies, or industrial societies or post-industrial societies that are not based on private property and economic markets. Those who make war on private property, make war on human liberty and human well-being...

And that's it in a nutshell. Marxism hates with an undying nihilistic devotion the idea of human liberty. They insist that a collectivist society is superior to the freedoms we now enjoy with capitalism. They work hard to disguise the constant failures of Marxism and its failed history. Marxism is not only alive and well within the Occupy Wall Street protest, it is the very reason for its existence.

Protest Occupy Wall Street. #POWS

Overpaid CUNY Professor Says Occupy Wall Street Has Got To Exploit The Poor

Frances Fox Piven, "Distinguished Professor" of Sociology and Political Science at City University of New York (CUNY), makes an annual salary of $144,958. Which according to the majority of Americans, makes her rich. We're just sayin'.

Where to begin?

Few people knew about Frances Fox Piven until her name surfaced on The Glenn Beck Show on the Fox News Channel in 2010. Beck introduced his audience to the radical views of Piven who together, with her husband, Richard Cloward, developed a strategy in 1966 to collapse the government by overloading the welfare system. Of course Piven complained about feeling "targeted" by Beck exposing such a wacky idea. We'd feel embarrassed, too, if our utopian visions of a future filled with lollipops and unicorns were exposed for all the world to see. Especially if we were supposed to be a "distinguished professor."

But we digress.

Piven has a long history of championing the poor. She even mentioned it again at the beginning of this year, in a January piece featured in The New York Times. She said, "an effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece."

And she's still singing the same tune. On December 14, Piven published an article in The Nation titled "A Proud, Angry Poor." From the article:

Still, the movement has to respond to the police sweeps of its encampments by becoming broader and more hard-hitting. It has to firmly include the vast number of people who have been marginalized by the rhetoric of American politics and by the realities of the American economy. In many places the homeless have joined the encampments. That is a beginning. But it’s not enough. To fully realize an ethic of inclusion, the poorest and most benighted Americans should become part of our protest movement. We need to increase their numbers at our demonstrations, and we need to undertake the protest actions that deal with their most urgent needs—including the attacks on the social safety net that hit them hardest.

Someone should have told Occupiers in Zuccotti Park in October that the homeless appearing out of nowhere were actually Piven's foot soldiers. Instead, the food workers in the camp staged a protest of their own because they didn't want the homeless to eat up all the Spaghetti Bolognese.

It's no surprise that Piven is an admirer of Karl Marx. In 1983 at a talk for the Socialists Scholars Conference, she described Marx (whose 100th anniversary of Marx's death was celebrated) "as the man whose ideas had enabled 'common people' around the globe to become 'historical actors.' She urged her listeners to 'stand within the intellectual and political tradition Marx bequeathed,” treating it not as a “dead inheritance” but rather as a “living tradition—the creation of thinking, active people.'"

Nothing like trying to paint a monster like Marx into some benevolent director of a play.

No matter how much lipstick you put on a pig, it is still a pig. Frances Fox Piven can't change history, no matter how much she tries to distract people from viewing the truth. Marxism kills. It killed millions when it was running Russia and it would kill many more if it has a chance to be in charge in the United States.

Read this article from Nobel Peace Prize finalist, R.J. Rummel. If someone you know is involved with Occupy Wall Street or sympathetic to it, let them know the real goal of the protest. It isn't to change policies so banks won't get bailouts or corporations won't be able to give huge amounts of donations to political parties.

The real goal is to destroy capitalism. Because once capitalism is destroyed, the Marxists think they'll just swoop in and take over.

Educate people at every opportunity presented to you. Inform. Challenge. Knowledge is power and the Marxists are counting on a bunch of ignorant peasants making their job easier. From R.J. Rummel's article (emphasis ours):

The next time you come across or are lectured by one of our indigenous Marxists, or almost the equivalent, leftist zealots, ask them how they can justify the murder of over a hundred million their absolutist faith has brought about, and the misery it has created for many hundreds of millions more.

We agree. Ask.

Occupy Wall Street Goal: Let Colorado Springs Move To The National Mall!

Occupy Wall Street isn't happy. Because Trinity refused their request to use a vacant lot for squatting, they're attempting to now bully Trinity by "shaming" them into acquiescence. It isn't working.

On Saturday, December 17, 2011, the New York Occupy Wall Street protesters made a big fanfare about "re-occupying" a place near Zuccotti Park. They even published a poster about it.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Trinity did not allow the protesters to use their property as the newest center for crime, rapes, drug use, disease, and unsanitary habits. They don't have the facilities to support such an "encampment" and do not think it's safe. Even Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefforts Schori supports Trinity's decision.

But, that didn't stop a bunch of neo-Marxists from drafting a condescending letter to Trinity, in hopes of shaming them into capitulation. Occupy Wall Street plays hardball, but those of us who are 100% American have our eyes wide open. And we have a little help from this hot, shiny tech tool called the Internet.

The letter, submitted by the Council of Elders, is printed in its entirety on the Occupy Wall Street official site. This "council" has quite a group of colorful characters. For instance, Rev. James Lawson is a retired United Methodist Minister. He's also passionately anti-American, and called for the defeat of the USA in its war on terror. Oh, and he also has used Marxist themes to advocate "revolution." (source)

In his own words:

“If our superpower prevails,” he says, “then people will perish, war after war after war. You can name the list of those who have perished already because of the assault.” In a 2001 lecture, Lawson put it this way: “The U.S. has become the number-one enemy of peace and justice in the world today.”

Dolores Huerta is another council member and boy, is she a sweetheart. She is the co-founder and first Vice President Emeritus of the United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO ("UFW"), board member of the Democratic Socialists of America, founding board member of the Feminist Majority, board member of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, and opposes the "War on Terror." In her words, “It’s always been a part of U.S. foreign policy to first put a dictator in power and than to get rid of him.” What a swell gal! (source)

(A big note of appreciation goes to the website DiscoverTheNetworks.org. This website is a goldmine of information on those who hate America and desire to make it into a Marxist hellhole. We heart David Horowitz.)

Back to the Occupy Wall Street site.

As we perused the comment section under the "Letter From Council of Elders to Trinity Church," we saw this gem:

From "isupportoccupywallstreet" (emphasis ours):

thank you for your reply nothing is going to turn this society around other than showing up in massive, stunning numbers of people. physically collecting, by 100 of 1000s at a time would make "people in charge" think: "holy sh--, they really mean it. they have gone out of their way. they must be pissed. they might not buy the (fill in the blank) stuff we need them to buy. so that i could buy another ___ (house, car, boat, drug, etc.). or they could all decide not to buy it tomorrow. they're communicating. they could do anything and it would be like trying to stop a tsunami! there's nothing we could do, not even with our army of police, to stop them!" so, yes! we need to take over the washington mall. or someplace like that. there were 200,000 people there for MLK's speech. lets make it half a million. or, why half?? showing up at a massive protest that lasts a long time is the closest thing to a vote you have, in case you haven't noticed. look at what it did to zuccotti park in the eyes of the world. didn't ows get a lot of money, more than they know what to do with?? now that we might still have some left, we must try something bigger. with more impact. and in order for it to be bigger with more impact. there can't be so many events. we need one big occupation. we have to all show up from all over to one place. bus/train/fly people in. and stay there. we have to streamline the energy, focus it, like a magnifying glass with the sun's heat.

Indeed.

So if we understand the proposition correctly, this person would love it if the entire population of Colorado Springs would shutter their homes, leave their jobs, and just camp out on the grounds of the National Mall. Why not? Who cares where 416,427 people go to use bathroom facilities? We're sure such a large crowd camping out for months on end wouldn't affect local businesses and traffic.

This is the strategy of Occupy Wall Street. Try to convince the average, hard-working American that they should ditch their jobs and join the maddening throng of the malcontents. While they're there, they'll get a heavy dose of brain-mashing from Marxists. Gosh, that sounds like fun!

Something tells us they won't be happy until we have pictures like this from our local law enforcement agencies. Don't buy their garbage. Marxism never ends well.

Occupy Wall Street Marxism: Grabbing What They Want

Trinity Wall Street, a historic church in New York City, is now the new target for the Occupy Wall Street protest. Quite simply, they don't want protesters squatting on their property.

But Occupy Wall Street isn't pleased. In fact, they're downright ticked off that Trinity, who in the beginning supported the protest, is now saying "Great idea, but not here."

You don't say "no" to Occupy Wall Street and get away with it.

Today: Saturday, December 17, 2011 -- the day Occupy Wall Street was going to "re-occupy" Wall Street by squatting on a lot owned by Trinity. Except Trinity isn't playing.

From The New York Times (emphasis ours):

And now the Occupy movement, after weeks of targeting big banks and large corporations, has chosen Trinity, one of the nation’s most prominent Episcopal parishes, as its latest antagonist. 

“We need more; you have more,” one protester, Amin Husain, 36, told a Trinity official on Thursday, during an impromptu sidewalk exchange between clergy members and demonstrators. “We are coming to you for sanctuary.”

Sanctuary? 

A sanctuary is a place of refuge and protection. It is used for those who are hunted down and persecuted. Has Occupy Wall Street reached this stage? Who is hunting them? The film crews from MSNBC? Stephen Colbert? The zoo?

And why would they need protection? It seems to us that those within an Occupy Wall Street encampment would certainly need protection, since there is plenty of crime around. (Big H/T to Big Government, who is keeping score.)

Meanwhile, Trinity wants nothing to do with a "re-occupy" land grab. In their words, they are calling it “wrong, unsafe, unhealthy and potentially injurious.”

The church's Reverend James H. Cooper says that Trinity has already done plenty when it came to supporting the protest. They gave them use of their location for meetings, use of bathrooms, even some hot chocolate and blankets.

But that's not enough for the protesters. Understand that no matter what Marxists get, it's never enough. They will always want more and have no problem either forcing people to give it to them or just outright steal it. Think of it as an en masse mugging.

From the same NYT article:

Rev. Michael Ellick, of Judson Memorial Church, a Greenwich Village congregation affiliated with the American Baptist Churches and the United Church of Christ, said Trinity needed to do more.

“Charity is not enough,” Mr. Ellick said. “Charity keeps things the same.”

Are you serious? When is charity not enough?

When you're dealing with Occupy Wall Street's warped reasoning skills.

Occupy Wall Street is complaining that "the rich" aren't paying their "fair share." But when questioned how exactly does one arrive at a "fair share" number -- they get angry because they've been caught in their own web of deceit. For a Marxist, there is no such number. A Marxist will take everything for redistribution.

Evidently, the same is true for charity. Giving what you can will never be enough.

Marxism wants EVERYTHING you own.

So for Trinity, it's not enough they provided lodging, bathroom facilities, drink, and warmth. The Occupy Wall Street protesters (being the Marxist brats that they are) want more. More! More! More!

As Trinity's pastor said (emphasis ours):

“Trinity has probably done as much or more for the protesters than any other institution in the area,” Mr. Cooper wrote on his parish Web site. “Calling this an issue of ‘political sanctuary’ is manipulative and blind to reality. Equating the desire to seize this property with uprisings against tyranny is misguided, at best. Hyperbolic distortion drives up petition signatures, but doesn’t make it right.”

No truer words have been spoken.

Occupy Wall Street Sours The Milk Street Cafe: Forces Closure

In its quest for championing the downtrodden, Occupy Wall Street managed to permanently close a business. The Milk Street Cafe is shutting down.

Isn't it ironic the Occupy Wall Street, which claims to represent the "99%," is actually the reason that the "99%" are now out of work? Because a city was too cowardly to throw out the squatters, a business (that was paying business taxes, mind you, and employing people who were paying taxes) is now gone. Finito. Kaput.

The cafe's owner, Mark Epstein, bemoaned the fact that he had to lay off 91 people. He first laid off 21 because his business slowed. After that, he repeatedly asked the city for help in removing the barricades, which in essence proved to be an obstacle to his customers. And, his pleas fell upon deaf ears.

So now the cafe is closing and an additional 70 people are laid off. All in time for the holidays! Ho, ho, ho... businesses have got to go! When Epstein was asked if he'd ever open a restaurant again in New York City, his answer was succinct. "Never."

Once again: The. Enemy. Is. Milk. Street. Cafe.

And the Occupy Wall Street protesters can now claim their scalp. Sure, it isn't a big catch like Goldman Sachs but a Marxist has to start somewhere.

Occupy Wall Street's Continued Attack On Hard-Working Americans: Port Shutdowns

Occupy Wall Street's continued assault on those who they purportedly "represent" reached its zenith on Monday, December 12 when they shut down three ports on the West coast: Oakland, California, Portland, Oregon, and Longview, Washington.

More Americans are starting to see the destructive agenda of Occupy Wall Street.

They're starting to realize that Occupy Wall Street is not including them in their "99%" message.

They're starting to realize the truth.

You. Are. The. Enemy.

Once again, Occupy's wrong-footed tactics targeted hard-working longshoremen and truck drivers; just in time to steal valuable holiday wages from them. Gosh. That's just immensely compassionate, don't you think?

From the lips of a truck driver:

"... Christian Vega, who in a frozen line outside the port in Oakland while the protestors blocked access. [says]  "It only hurts me and the other drivers. We have jobs and familiies to support and feed. Most of them don't."
Occupy Wall Street's West Coast Port Takeover Misses The Point, NJ.com Blog

You're doggone right, Mr. Vega. Most of the Occupy protesters are young twentysomethings who are still living at home with their parents. What do they care if they prevented you from getting a paycheck? They don't have jobs. So take that!

As the article above said, hassling longshoremen and truck drivers isn't the path toward winning friends and influencing people.

But it's an early Christmas gift for those of us who vehemently disagree with Occupy Wall Street and passionately fight its Marxist agenda.

Because we know the more they use these idiotic tactics, the more irritated Americans will be and will see them for what they truly are: Traitors and haters of the United States of America.

To the REPUBLIC!

Occupy Wall Street Goes After Goldman Sachs 12/12 at 7:30 AM in NYC

Occupy Wall Street continues its class warfare by targeting Goldman Sachs on 12/12/11. Because hating an investment company is surely the way to get our country out of its economic woes.

Goldman Sachs is certainly not a poster child for the perfect corporation. We know this and recognize it. However, neither is it evil incarnate.

But Occupy Wall Street sees it differently. (natch)

They've culled from their vast pool of talent an artistic rendering of Goldman Sachs. It is, (we kid you not) ... a squid. In the words of author and writer Matt Taibbi:

The first thing to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Goodness. Try eating seafood again at Red Lobster after that sweet visual.

So Occupy Wall Street in NYC is going to be kicking the sleepyheads up at about 5 AM so they can all trotsky (/snark) down to their local Goldman Sachs offices and give 'em a good mic check. And all the world will rest easier.

Someone better tell them not to grab a Burger King Whopper later on because after all, Goldman Sachs invested in them.

You're welcome.

Why Did Occupy Wall Street Protesters Target Glenn Beck Book Signings?

If Occupy Wall Street is all about protesting bank bailouts and corporate control within government, then why are they picking on bookstores and book signings?

We're still trying to figure out that one.

Glenn Beck, conservative talk-show host, Internet TV owner, and a prolific author; was on a book tour to promote his latest book, Being George Washington: The Indispensable Man, as You've Never Seen Him. During the tour, at several locations, the Occupy Wall Street protesters showed up (At one location, a protester had a seizure, which prompted Beck's people to step in and help.).

It's a free country (at least so far), so everyone has a right to protest whomever they want, wherever, and whenever. However, the target of these protests left us scratching our heads. What does a conservative book signing have to do with the Occupy Wall Street's complaints about big bank bailouts and corporate donations to political candidates? Nothing. Which brings us to the conclusion that Occupy Wall Street is not as much about railing against "inequality" as it is about protesting conservatism and traditional values.

The bottom line is that the Occupy Wall Street protests have duped their members into thinking they are protesting government bailouts and oligarchy. What many of them fail to realize is that these protests have been manipulated and planned by those who seek to bring about another form of government to the United States -- namely, Marxism.

Socialism leads to Communism. Communism leads to Marxism. Ultimately, it's about taking away the freedoms of American citizens and placing a harness about their necks. If you don't want to plow their fields, then resist them. Our country is dependent upon its citizens to uphold the Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed by it.

To the Republic!

Hateful Florida Occupy Wall Street Protesters Target the 100% at Glenn Beck Book Signing

Floridian Occupy Wall Street protesters try to disrupt a Glenn Beck booksigning and were quickly pushed out by police.

As one protester shouted, "These people are the 99%!" A male voice can be heard saying, "You don't speak for us!" Another man shouts, "Amen!"

Again, remember that in the beginning, the main targets of Occupy Wall Street were the banks and corporations. Why are they targeting Glenn Beck and regular citizens who were enjoying a book signing?

Because with Occupy Wall Street, you are the enemy. If you're not with them, you're against them. It's as simple as that.

What does a bookstore have to do with their complaints? What does a published author have to do with their "demands?" Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it is this lack of intelligent purpose that has most of the country either laughing at Occupy Wall Street or deriding them as Marxism's "useful idiot" bunch.

The whole country is not the "99%" they imagine themselves to represent. In fact, support for the protest has dropped in the past month. According to Public Policy Polling, October showed 35% supporting OWS goals and 36% opposing. In November, the numbers changed to 33-45, 11 points worse.

Is it any surprise? As Americans watch video after video of Occupy Wall Street protesters baiting the police to use violent force on them, and reads stories of rapes, drug use, and crime occurring within Occupy camps, there is a collective voice that is rising, saying, "You don't speak for us!"

Certainly Americans are upset with a government that continues to spend money it doesn't have, but it prefers to bring about change within our current type of government (Republic) and abide by our laws rather than wish for complete anarchy, which is the goal of the Occupy Wall Street protest.

At heart, it is yet another attempt by Marxism to rob our great country of the freedom we enjoy. Occupy Wall Street is another attack, in a long line of attacks by Marxists, to destroy capitalism in the United States so that their brand of control and oppression can reign.

The pont of Occupy Wall Street claiming that it represents "the 99%" is to make you think that resistance is futile. You may say that if the majority of the country agrees with Occupy Wall Street, then what's the point of deeper inspection of the protest? From Lenin (emphasis ours):

Peaceful surrender of power by the bourgeoisie is possible, if it is convinced that resistance is hopeless and if it prefers to save its skin. It is much more likely, of course, that even in small states socialism will not be achieved without civil war, and for that reason the only programme of international Social-Democracy must be recognition of civil war, though violence is, of course, alien to our ideals. 

"A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism" (August - October 1916) Collected Works, Vol. 23, pp. 28-76

Ah, but violence is tacitly encouraged. What else is a war but violence?

Those of us who love America and support her, those of us who defend America's ideals and freedoms, those of us who reject socialism (Lenin said the goal of socialism was communism.), those of us who recognize evil and slavery when we see it -- we like to call ourselves 100% American.

Unmask the beast.

LA Occupy Wall Street Protesters Target Los Angeles Taxpayers

Big Government reports that the LA Occupy Wall Street protesters feel so badly about their arrests that they may seek therapy. 

Really? And guess who would pay for it?

You.

Once again, never forget: With Occupy Wall Street...

You. Are. The. Enemy.

Occupy Wall Street MYTH: Corporations Don't Pay Taxes

Corporations do pay taxes. In the billions.

From The Blaze: Occupy Dayton Harass Black Friday Shoppers at Target and Walmart

Black Friday shoppers in Dayton, Ohio, were in for a rude awakening when Occupy Dayton protesters (we’ve reported on their antics before) entered a local Walmart and Target and began mic-checking and berating individuals and families.

On the protest group’s YouTube page, a five and a half minute video has been posted. In it, Occupiers document and promote the torment they attempt to inflict on shoppers.



At the 40 second mark, you’ll see the first clip, which was taken at a local Target store. Around 1:08, a male voice can be heard asking, “Ready?” Within seconds, the protesters begin yelling, “Mic check!” Then, they launch into their seemingly endless chant:

“Hello Daytonians. We have a message for you. This will only take a moment. It is shameful that you spend your hard-earned money at a corporation who does not care about your family. They insult the 99 percent. They pay little or no taxes, while profits soar. Our tax money goes to our public schools. We find it an outrage that you continue to shop here in support of a corporation who does not support you.”

So what happened to protesting bank bailouts? Oh, that is sooo September 17. The malcontents have shifted their focus toward condemning average American citizens who are trying to get in some holiday shopping.

Large "big box" stores are popular because they often carry enough merchandise and offer sale prices for popular items. Would that not be considered "caring" about hard-working families?

As for the "little or no taxes" lie -- try this on for size: In 2009, Walmart paid $7.1 billion in taxes. Yes, that's right, little anarchist. A bit more than what you owe for your college tuition loan. CVS, which has a pre-tax income of $5.9 billion, pays $2.2 billion in taxes.  Most of these mammoth corporations pay a tax rate of around 32% and higher.

Somehow, these dense Occupy Wall Street protesters fail to grasp that much of the taxes paid by corporations go to the government which ultimately trickle down to programs. Sales taxes benefit the states. However, politicians make sure to get a nice, fat slice of that money as their salary and benefits. Pelosi's plastic surgeon needs to be paid, you know.

Good night, the thought of Pelosi not being able to afford more plastic surgery is worth it. Down with corporations!

Why Occupy Wall Street Protests Are The Susan Lucci of Marxism

Susan Lucci, is a soap opera actress who was nominated 19 times for a Daytime Emmy before finally winning. She kept doing what she did best and eventually, snagged the award. Marxism has tried to topple the United States of America in the past but this time, we have something we didn't have before. The Internet.

Below are portions from Andrew Breitbart's book, Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!: 

But just because Marx's dialectic materialism had been proved false, and just because soon the new Soviet Union would be slaughtering its own citizens at record rates, didn't mean that the Marxist intellectuals were going to give up on the worldwide revolution.

That was where Antonia Gramsci and Gyorgy Lukacs came in.

Gramsci was an Italian socialist who saw tearing down society as the necessary precondition for the eventual victory of global Marxism. Marxism simply hadn't won because men were weak. And men were weak because they were the products of a capitalist society. "Man is above all else mind, consciousness," Gramsci wrote in 1916. "That is, he is a product of history, not of nature. There is no other way of explaining why socialism has not come into the existence already." (Christopher Lasch, Haven in a Heartless World: The Family Besieged, New York: Thomas Dunne Books, 2001, p.86.)

Lukacs's view was so influential that for a time, he actually became deputy commissar of culture in Hungary, where he proceeded to push a radical sex-ed program encouraging free love and rejection of Judeo-Christian morality. In that role, he tried to live out his ideology of destruction: "I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution... A worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the revolutionaries." (As quoted in Chilton Williamson, The Conservative Bookshelf, Secaucus, NJ: Citadel Press, 2005, p. 207.)

If you think the above sounds eerily familiar, you're right. It's the mandate of the Occupy Wall Street protest. Marxism never died. It just went behind the curtain and changed costumes.

Marxism hates freedom and individuality. It depends upon groupthink. It is why an Occupy Wall Street protester can only spout off talking points given to them from their "facilitators." It is also why they can't articulate any clear objectives to their protest.

The whole point of Occupy Wall Street isn't to protest the injustice of banks being bailed out by the government. It isn't even to champion the "99%" who are ticked off about foreclosures and job loss. The whole point of Occupy Wall Street instead is to destroy society by leeching a city's coffers for police protection and kill the ideals of hard work, faith, ethics, and morality.

Everywhere an Occupy Wall Street protest is held, you see the truth. In New York City, they clogged up the sidewalks and subways as average citizens tried to make their way home after their workday. They persist in painting a corporation as "the enemy" when in fact, a corporation has individuals working for it. In essence, they hate the "collective" (to use their language) of a corporation because they want to replace it with their own repressive ideology -- Marxism.

What are "old values?" The same values that made the United States of America a great nation is viewed by these ingrates as oppressive. Civility is the first to go. Marxists believe in a lot of yelling and screaming because they think you're stupid and will only understand them if they shout. Reasonable debate also has fallen victim to the Occupy Wall Street crowds. Any honest question of their purpose quickly deteriorates into childish name-calling. There is no substance to them. Only anger. And Marxism, quite frankly, is really boring.

When one looks at history, it's easy to see why Marxism doesn't work. People enjoy the fruits of their own labor. They like having the freedom to say "no" or "yes" to work. There will be consequences to those answers, but in the the U.S., everyone has the freedom to pursue their own happiness in whatever way they deem desirable.

The freedom that United States citizens enjoy are the envy of the world. There are dark forces intent on robbing us of that freedom. Don't let them get away with it.

How Occupy Wall Street's Anti-Consumerism Targets You As the Enemy

It isn’t a secret anymore that the Occupy Wall Street protest isn’t about protesting bank bail-outs from the government. And if it’s about the lopsided “control” that corporations have in our political arena, it is merely an offshoot of OWS’s real target.

If you’re a normal American who has a full-time job and seeking to better your life; and if you desire to enjoy the fruits of your own labor – you are the enemy.

Why else would they clog up the New York City subway system as tired employees made their way home, now having their evening commute disrupted by a bunch of whiny communists? Why else would they attack conservative blog conferences where the attendees were overwhelmingly believers in the capitalist system?

Why else would they decide to descend upon malls on Black Friday to lecture shoppers on the selfishness of their actions?

Because you are the enemy.

Occupy Wall Street, the brainchild of anti-consumerist Canadian, Kalle Lasn, has many branches to its tree but all lead to the same root. Resentment and class envy.

If you examine what was often called “the American Dream,” it focused on working hard and saving enough money to buy a home. That home represented something remarkable, something worthy of pride and happiness. It represented achievement.

Achievement used to mean something in this country. For the 100% American, it still does. But if your eyes have been open over the last few decades, you know the concept of achievement has taken a beating. One of the most glaring examples are the schools that insist on awarding students with trophies for just showing up. They refuse to keep score during athletic events because “everyone is a winner.”

There has been a slow, systematic attack on achievement because once you call mediocrity an achievement, then true exceptionalism is no longer recognized.

Quality and excellence also fall victim to such defeatist philosophies. When Paul Revere returned from the American Revolutionary War, he realized that his previous occupation – silversmithing, was too expensive for the economic depression. He instead turned toward iron and brass, opening his own business with his sons and producing more than 900 bells for the thriving church bell market. He became known as one of the best metal-casters for not only bells, but entered into the copper market and opened the first copper mill south of Boston.

Why is that important? Because Paul Revere’s dedication toward producing only the best and highest quality metal instrument was what made him successful. His company, Paul Revere & Sons, eventually merged into a large national corporation, Revere Copper and Brass, Inc. That in turn led to the development of the first copper-clad cookware, which we know now by the name, Revere Ware. The company still exists today as Revere Copper Products.

Would Paul Revere have achieved so much if he was told that a mediocre church bell was acceptable for selling? Would his name still be remembered today if he produced shoddy work? The 100% American responds with a hearty, “Hell, no!”

When a business owner is successful, they typically respond by investing more in the business itself so it can grow. Achievement is the driving force of a business’ profits. When an employee rises through the ranks of a business, earning a higher wage, achievement is the driving force of their success.

Which brings us back to consumerism.

A business without a buyer is quite bluntly, not a business. A business cannot exist without its customers. And customers will buy a business’ products or services out of need but often, as a way to demonstrate their success to the world. A Chevrolet Sonic and a Lexus LS will both get you to your destination, but the Lexus proclaims to the world that you reached a place where you’re able to afford a more expensive ride. It is a sign of achievement.

Such representations of achievement are what fuels our economy. Someone in California is depending on their job, which is building a Lexus. They in turn earn enough money to buy their children toys that in turn, provide jobs for the company that makes the toys. These articles of achievement; whether large or small, bring joy to our lives and a sense of satisfaction for a job well-done.

But the Occupy Wall Street protesters hate it. (Interestingly, they don’t hate their iPods or reject the status of owning their MacBook Pros and schmoozing with other Mac users.)

They would love nothing more than a defeated American economy to just trudge toward a corner and die. They believe that living in a dirt-floored hut with no electricity is somehow more virtuous than living in a 2400 square-foot home with all the trimmings. And they’re wrong.

We say enjoy the holidays. And if it includes purchasing gifts for your loved ones and you’re able to afford buying them an iPad, go for it. Don’t for one minute, allow the sullen, resentful OWS protesters ruin your achievements.

Occupy Wall Street's Wrongheaded 'Black Friday' Protest Exposes Founder's Agenda

Occupy Wall Street vowed to "occupy" malls across America in their ongoing anti-greed, anti-corporate, anti-capitalist protest. Except it isn't working. At least according to a FOX News article that reported that as of mid-morning, most malls hadn't seen too much action from the Great Unwashed.

However, one thing the "Black Friday Protest-That-Never-Happened" did do was once again expose the man behind the organization of Occupy Wall Street, Kalle Lasn.

In 2007, Lasn, a former marketing consultant, called for a national "Buy Nothing Day" on November 23, 2007, which was "Black Friday." Lasn is a Canadian and has a special loathing toward consumerism. He thinks it makes us bad people. From the NYT article (emphasis ours):

Mr. Lasn, from Vancouver, says the targets of the movement are the wealthiest one billion people on the planet, “the 20 percent who consume 80 percent of the goodies in the global marketplace.” The goal, he told me, “is to create an economy and a culture in which it eventually becomes cool to consume less.” (The magazine, with about 120,000 readers, two-thirds of them in the United States, is not for profit, but it does sell advertising… as does this newspaper of course.)

Isn't that interesting? On one hand, Lasn wants to condemn buying anything but yet his site, Adbusters, sells ads. Sounds like consumerism to us.

In case our Canuck Commie missed it: Retailers weren't bailed out like the banks -- which the press believes is the primary focus of OWS. In fact, retailers have this little game with the state going on called SALES TAX. We know, it's insidious. Diabolical, even. Those states that do such a thing use their sales taxes for public services such as:  supporting state law enforcement, fire and police departments, state employee wages, maintenance of city infrastructures such as highways and bridges, and entitlement programs.

So in other words, without sales taxes, a state would be in a whole lotta hurt.

And those who are in the Occupy camp wouldn't have anyone to provoke into a fight because all the police would probably be home, defending their own property from these zombie anarchists.

Hello, World.

"The whole world is watching!" - Occupy Wall Street protesters

Tired of hearing that phrase? Uttered by protesters as they taunt police officers into violent confrontations, the accusation sounds overly dramatic. Except we know the whole world is watching. And what do they see?

People who continue to increase their attempts to gain attention and support by escalating violence. People who welcome with open arms Socialists, Communists, Marxists, and union thugs. People who are open about hating capitalism, Israel, and Jews. People who feel that our current system of government is so flawed that we must replace it with something else. People who are openly anarchist, only focused on destroying America's government so they can usher in complete collectivism.

And of course this is the same group of people who mocked the Tea Party for being "violent" and "racist." Except the Tea Party didn't have rapes going on at their rallies, let alone the rampant drug use and theft. Not only did the Tea Party avoid clashes with the police, they cleaned up after themselves at their rallies and didn't camp out for days on end, making a nuisance of themselves. They also stayed on point with their message and avoided crashing conferences that had nothing to do with that message; let alone follow four-year old children  to school and harass them.

Well, this blog is a response to the "occupiers."

Many of us from the Tea Party have also been upset with government irresponsibility and overspending. We've been shocked as the massive mistake called Obamacare was shoved through the system, through back-room deals and threats to politicians to vote for it -- or else. We've been stunned as we've watched those who hate our country rise to positions of power and influence within the White House. And now we observe how a well-orchestrated protest from the radical left has suddenly riveted the country and the world. The fact that Occupy Wall Street was started by a Canadian who hates capitalism and is itching for a revolution should tell you something.

But here's the shocker.

The Occupy Wall Street movement does not accurately represent "the 99%."

Many Americans, though frustrated with our sluggish economy, stunning salary increases for big corporate CEO's, and for corporate and union control of our government through large donations; do not feel that Occupy Wall Street represents them. In fact, many are repulsed by the protesters' rage toward the police, their cavalier attitude toward rape, drugs and crime, and their obvious anti-Semetic tone (even if it is supposedly "only a few" who do it). Their lack of hygiene isn't winning any friends, either.

So, who are we?

The simplest way to describe those of us who desire government fiscal accountability and limited intervention in our personal lives would be this:

We are 100% American.

This means we like the U.S. Constitution we already have. We don't want a new political system. We like being a Republic (as opposed to Direct Democracy) because we realize that if the majority of the people suddenly decided to lynch people who love jellybeans, then without a law prohibiting such a thing, people who love jellybeans would be lynched. Substitute the word "jellybeans" with "God" and you can see how this would be an even worse scenario.

100% American means we love our country and do not feel like we owe the world an apology. In fact, if anything, much of the world owes us a bit of gratitude for all the times we've helped them. They may criticize the United States but when you want to get rid of a despot, who do you call?

The answer is not Greenland.

100% American means we understand American exceptionalism. It means we know our history shows our mistakes but we have always aimed toward "doing the right thing." Ask any 100% American what that means and they'll know. Perseverance, diligence, putting family as a priority, owning responsibility, defending the weak, humility, compassion, personal liberty, democratic ideals -- all of these are just a few of the traits that make America exceptional.

100% American means we understand the importance of hard work and personal responsibility. We don't like hand-outs. In fact, we'd rather eat ramen noodles in the dark than ask for government aid. We understand that sacrifice and suffering shapes the character of men and women. We understand that tough times never last but tough people do. We are, at times, astonishingly optimistic. We also understand this country was founded by those who gave 100% toward building it and received 100% of the blessings from doing so.

100% American means we will do whatever it takes to preserve the freedom in this country, to protect its sovereignty, and to repel radical elements such as Socialism, Communism, and Marxism so as to keep what our Founding Fathers gave us.

It is said that when Ben Franklin exited the first Congress of the United States of America; a woman asked, "What kind of government have you given us, sir?"

"A Republic, madam," Franklin replied, "if you can keep it."

We pledge our allegiance to do just that.
