So, the question is…is this Occupy Wall Street protect, that we’ve been witness to on a continuing basis, seen by Barry “Almighty” and his trusty sidekick “Slow Joe” Biden as being something spontaneous and therefore something to be taken advantage of, politically, or are they, perhaps, something actually being instigated by this dynamic duo of the Executive Branch? Either way, these two are now finding themselves under increasing scrutiny, primarily because of they’re egging on the burgeoning Occupy Wall Street protest that has now spread to cities across the country. Senior Senator Orrin Hatch, of Utah, has made it very plain that he believes comments Barry made about “running Republicans out of town,” were reckless and, whether meant to or not, could end up causing the protests to turn ugly. “We are going to have riots in this country because of what these people are doing," he warned. Hatch said Barry’s words coupled with those made by Teamsters leader, and union thug, Jimmy Hoffa, during his Labor Day speech in which he called Tea Party members “sons of bitches” who should be “taken out,” could incite violence. Violence that Barry could use as a weapon as the election grows closer. "They are going to get people very angry and sooner or later people who basically are dependent upon the federal government and are about to be cut back, yeah, you are going to have lots of problems," Hatch told reporters in Salt Lake City, one of many places that have seen protests.
Senator Hatch’s fellow Republican Senator, Rand Paul, joined in the attack on the White House use of careless rhetoric, calling Barry’s outrageous comments “inflammatory,” and saying the protesters reminded him of the Paris mob during the French Revolution. “I see the president’s rhetoric of envy inflaming the public,” the Kentucky senator told Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano." “I hope ultimately it doesn’t result in lawlessness where they say, ‘Gosh those nice iPads through the window should be mine and why don’t I throw a brick through the window to get them because rich people don’t deserve to have them when I can’t have one.’” But isn’t that exactly the sentiment that Barry and the Democrats would like nothing better than to incite here? It’s all so very transparently a part of their very standard election year tactic of, class warfare. Barry has repeatedly demonstrated his very clear disregard for the office that he now holds, and did so yet again when he said during his Thursday press conference that voters will “run Republicans out of town” if they refuse to pass his jobs bill. Ignoring completely that the biggest roadblock to the passage of this supposed jobs bill to no where, is his fellow Democrats in Congress lead by “Dingy” Harry Reid. He then went so far as to express obvious sympathy for the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, which started in lower Manhattan three weeks ago. He said it “expresses the frustrations that the American people feel.” And just who is it that is primarily responsible for those frustrations? Certainly not he, right?
“We had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country, all across Main Street, and yet you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us into this problem in the first place,” Barry has said. As much as he would like to claim otherwise, it was, and continues to be, the Democrat Party that is the most responsible party for getting us into the mess that we currently find ourselves. And actually this current financial crisis is the most severe one that we’ve had to face since the 80s, when Reagan was left to clean up after Carter’s mess. Barry added, “People are frustrated and the protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works.” Old “Slow Joe” Biden, in what I can only assume was an attempt to provide these Wall Street rioters with some level of legitimacy, likened the protests to the birth of the Tea Party. “What is the core of that protest?” he asked. “The core is: The bargain has been breached. The core is the American people do not think the system is fair, or on the level. That is the core is what you’re seeing with Wall Street. “There’s a lot in common with the Tea Party,” he said at the Washington Ideas Forum. “The Tea Party started, why? TARP. They thought it was unfair.” Well, that’s not quite accurate. The Tea Party is looking for a return to smaller government and a return to the Constitution as it is written. These union supported anarchists that “Slow Joe” is trying to provide with some level of credibility, are interested in nothing more than the tearing down of our society. And I'm guessing that none of these whiny Occupy Wall Street malcontents ever had mommy or daddy explain to them the cold hard facts of life, you know, about how life isn't fair. Or about how government is not the entity to be charged with making it so, nor trusted to do so on its own.
But our old buddy “Slow Joe” Biden is far from being the only one likening this union backed movement to the Tea Party. The Los Angeles Times asked whether the movement is “a Tea Party for Democrats.” Well, let’s see here, I suppose if you were to take the Tea Party folks and remove their brains, their manners, their civility and finally their personal hygiene habits, then you might begin to see some resemblance between them and the morons currently rioting on Wall Street. I think most people can very easily recognize the fact that there are no similarities, whatsoever, between these imbecilic rabble-rousers assembled by various “community agitators” and members of the truly grass-roots Tea Party. That was backed up by Tea Party Express chairwoman Amy Kremer, when she told Britain’s Guardian newspaper the protesters were like “a kid having a temper tantrum because their parents won't buy them the whole ice-cream store. “Their demands are ridiculous, absurd." Kremer added. "This isn't Wall Street's fault. It's Washington's fault – and that's where they should focus their efforts." But David Webb of Manhattan-based Tea Party 365 believed there are similarities. “The transport unions are getting behind it, rabble rousing and agitating, moveon.org is imposing its progressive agenda on it," he told the Guardian. "I accept that there will always be institutions or individuals who want to take advantage of any grass-roots movement," added Webb. "They tried to take advantage of us, but by and large we said no. We don't yet know whether Occupy Wall Street will do the same." I would argue that there is very little, if anything, about this “movement” that would meet the necessary criteria for it to be called a grass-roots movement.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh described the protesters as being Barry’s loony base. “He expressed his solidarity because those are his campaign foot soldiers down there. He can't turn his back on them this close to the elections,” Limbaugh said. Leading Republicans have also voiced their opinions regarding the movement. Presidential candidate Herman Cain said he believed the whole protest movement has been “planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama Administration.” Mr. Cain added, “Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded, it is someone's fault if they failed.” And Majority House leader Eric Cantor called the protesters “a mob” saying he was becoming “increasingly concerned” about the growing movement. Then in a recent interview old “Stretch” Pelosi, in talking about Mr. Cantor, told faux journalist Christiane Amanpour, “I didn't hear him say anything when the Tea Party was out demonstrating, actually spitting on members of Congress right here in the Capitol. And he and his colleagues were putting signs in the windows encouraging them.” Ms. Amanpour followed up by asking, “But do you think it's pitting Americans against Americans?” Old Stretch responded, “Well, that's the American system. It's the democratic system. We don't all agree. We'd have a king if we were all of one mind. We don't. We have different views. And the part of the democracy of our country is the expression that people give, and the Constitution guarantees that.”
These days I find myself agreeing with comments made by Rush Limbaugh in how he assesses things. Like he said, “This thing just didn’t bubble up out of nothing. We now find out George Soros money is behind this, and there’s no doubt in my mind that the White House is behind this. I wish I could tell you who, but a very prominent person asked me to never mention his name in this regard, but for months he has been telling me, “You watch, Rush, do not doubt me,” he said to me, “Obama is setting up riots. He is fanning the flames for riots and eventual violence. That‘s all he’s got.” And now you look, all of this talk about millionaires and billionaires and people not paying their fair share and this relentless assault on achievement in this country has resulted in what? The appearance of a spontaneous combustion of angry white college students who are fed up with all the injustices that this country is famous for. That’s his base. Occupy Wall Street is his base. Those are his foot soldiers. The anarchists, the union thugs who are occupying Wall Street, Obama is now going to run for reelection against Wall Street, and all of these schlubs in this protest march don’t understand that Wall Street and Obama are inseparable.” And, sadly, I think Rush has hit the nail right on the head this time. Because it’s become painfully obvious that many of those taking part here, are wondering if they have an ally in the White House, and all indications are, that they do. Because even though not coming out and actually endorsing the protests, Barry “Almighty” and “Slow Joe” Biden have expressed an “understanding” of the rationale behind this so-called “movement” that has now spread rapidly across the country. Barry said people were angry because Wall Street had not been “following the rules.” The American people do not think the system is fair, or on the level,” is how “Slow Joe” explained it. This is nothing more that Barry and the Democrats bumping their tactic of class warfare up a notch or two.
