Top 10 Reasons Occupy Wall Street Is a Joke

The Left was envious when Tea Party protests popped up in 2009, and now has countered with the Occupy Wall Street gathering in New York that has spread to other cities.  While Tea Party enthusiasm became an effective force during the 2010 elections, #OWS will not have the same impact and here is why:  The Top 10 Reasons Occupy Wall Street is a Joke.

1.  Agenda:  Unlike the clarity of the Tea Party message of smaller government, the Wall Street Occupiers have a potpourri of juvenile demands, from free college education and an annual living wage to “forgiveness of debt on the entire planet.”  One protester mused that the solution was to do away with money altogether.  Apparently these recipients of federal student loans have yet to take Economics 101.

2.  Celebrities: The usual suspects of empty-headed progressive Hollywood stars are showing up at the Wall Street rally, many arriving by limo.  Millionaires Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore and Roseanne Barr have all made appearances.  Kanye West wore gold jewelry worth more than many protesters have made in their lifetimes. If they hadn’t noticed, these stars are part of the 1%.

3.  Soros:  The roster of George Soros-funded entities are aiding and abetting the Occupy movement.  AdBusters, an anti-consumerist publication that sounded the initial call for the protests, is funded in part by Tides, a major recipient of Soros’ funding.  Another Soros venture—MoveOn.org—has rallied support for the initiative.  Soros, a billionaire several times over largely through currency manipulation, says he “sympathizes with their grievances” of those protesting corporate greed.

4.  Arrests: Unlike the Tea Party rallies, there have been numerous arrests at the Occupy protests, as the crowds ignore city ordinances about overnight camping on public property.  Nearly a thousand were arrested in New York for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge, snarling traffic for those who work for a living, and hundreds have been taken into custody in Chicago, Boston and other cities.

5.  Politics: Democrats from President Obama on down are trying to find common ground with the Occupy Wall Streeters, hoping the protests can be the liberal equivalent of the Tea Party and breathe some life into a moribund progressive movement.  The hypocrisy is ripe—the President has garnered more corporate donations than any politician in the nation’s history.

6. Unpatriotic:  OWS protests routinely view the United States as the enemy.  The American flag is trashed, desecrated and flown upside down.  A Coast Guard female officer in uniform was harassed and spit on near the Boston rally.  In Portland, Ore., a speaker said, “F**k America.”  The protesters would like nothing better than to see the decline of their country.

7.  Extremists: It is no small feat to be praised by both the American Nazi Party and the Communist Party USA.  From aging hippies who are trying to relive the glory of the Sixties to the younger anarchists who have nothing better to do, many of the OWS protesters are extremists who show up at every left-wing demonstration.

8.  Trash:  After Tea Party rallies, the grounds were generally swept clean of garbage by the protesters, leaving the areas cleaner than before they arrived.  In contrast, at OWS protests, piles of trash are mounting, creating a public health hazard.  And after several weeks, many in the crowd are in dire need of a shower.

9.  Anti-Semitic: While the mainstream media pushed a fictitious story line that the Tea Party was a cauldron of racism, the OWS rallies feature plenty of examples of outright anti-Semitism.  The rallies are marrying the anti-Zionist tirades of the Left with the stereotypical view of Jewish Wall Street bankers to create an ugly atmosphere.

10.  Signs:  The Tea Party rallies were always full of clever signs, poking fun at Big Government and Barack Obama, and honoring the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.  By contrast, the Occupy Wall Street signs are characterized by misspelled words, profanity and inane statements such as, “One day the poor will have nothing left to eat but the rich.”

Comments:
Yep,
I have not seen much in the news lately about our democratic leaders reaching out and embracing this movement.
I have said it before. If you give 1,000 people an equal amount of money you will still end up with the rich, middle class & poor.
Those flower people back in the days of the 60s & 70s with their communes of equal sharing did not work out so well did they.
The ten resaon was lame in itself the same old bull because they can't stand seeing a group of diverse people coming together for a cause rather than an old bland group of haters.
I'm sorry to see you come out to join the Ku Klux Klan in support of these filthy pigs, Louise.
