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.
