Occupy Wall Street vs The Tea Party For Idiots (Or the MSM, But I Repeat Myself)

Two weeks ago, I responded to the Mainstream Media's labeling of the Occupy Wall Street protests the Left-Wing version of the Tea Party. Apparently the reasons given to prove that comparison false were too vague for the media to understand because they continue to  make that comparison.  So to be helpful to the people in the "fourth estate," I have created sort of a "difference between the Occupy Wall Street Protests, and the Tea Party Movement' for idiots and the Mainstream Media ( I guess that is redundant). It follows below:

• There was never a turd left on a Police Car during a Tea Party but there was during an Occupy Wall Street protest. 

Occupy Wall Street Protesters also defaced this Police Car:

• After Tea Party Rallies many people commented about how the protesters left the area cleaner than how they found it. This is what Occupy Wall Street looks like:

• No one at a Tea Party Rally ever defaced the Stars and Stripes, the same can't be said of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

• Tea Party protesters never sent an email to politicians suggesting that it was time to kill any group of Americans, but the  Occupy Wall Street protests did.

• Tea Party Protesters never made Anti-Semitic statements that Jews Control the media and Wall Street, Occupy Wall Street Has.

Note to the Mainstream Media: Please do not confuse Occupy Wall Street with Media Matters For America who have made similar Anti-Semitic statements.

Occupy Wall Street Also has an Anti-Israel component, something that was never seen at the Tea Party protests.

•  Sadly no one in the Tea Party movement has ever been paid to attend a rally. But Some of the Occupy people get paid.

 Note: I have also never gotten money from the Koch Brothers per the claim by the Daily Kos types, maybe they don't have my correct email.

•   The Tea Party Movement Doesn't have the Support of this guy, (but shhhhh we don't want it).

• And finally, when the Tea Party started it had no support from any party, Democrat or Republican. In fact the GOP establishment is still not comfortable with the Tea Party.  Occupy Wall Street was immediately embraced by the Democratic Party Leadership, such as Nancy Pelosi

and even President Obama.

In the end the difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party is very similar to the difference between the President and his progressive supporters and Conservative Americans.  Just like Occupy Wall Street, the progressives believe that American Institutions need to be defaced and torn down, maybe the progressives don't attack police cars, but they attack our freedoms.

Conservatives believe that tapping the drive of the American people is the best way to clean up our problems.  For example they believe that the best way to clean up the economy is to make it easier for Americans to run their own businesses. On they other hand, both the progressives and the Occupy Wall Street Protesters believe that it is Government's Job to clean up their mess.

Conservatives and the Tea Party both believe in American exceptionalism, we would never travel the world apologizing for America the way President Obama did, and we would never deface representations of that exceptionalism such as "Old Glory" the way the Occupy Wall Street movement did.

Antisemitism is big in the Occupy Wall Street Protests, just as it was during the progressive Anti-War Protests during the Bush Administration and  progressive Media Matters ever since. I have been to only a few Tea Party protests, have even worn a yarmulke and was never confronted with hatred against Jews or any other minority.  The Occupy Wall Street Movement also has anti-Israel elements, no surprise as the President who has embraced them is the most anti-Israel President we have ever had.

It is also interesting that leading Democrats have embraced the Occupy Wall Street protests.  The Tea Party Movement's loyalty is to the American constitution and fiscal responsibility. While some of the hundreds of Tea Party groups across the country have endorsed candidates the deciding factor was not whether they were the party of the elephant or the mule, it is the candidate's support of the movement's agenda; returning the government to the Constitution and the freedoms which it guarantees, and to restore our "federal bank account to solvency.  We do not hate individuals who are rich or poor, we simply hate government policy which erodes the greatness of this one-of-a kind republic.  Which is something the mainstream media is either too biased or too dense to understand.

Chris Matthews is Right- Maybe Its Time for Conservatives To Fess Up And Admit The Bad Things We're Going to Do

While speaking during his Hardball show earlier this week, Mr. Tinkle Down his legs, Chris Matthews waxed poetic about how wonderful the universe would be if only Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012.  Well almost, what he really said was how lousy things he would be if a Republican were elected. He warned

"Tea Partiers and neocons...celebrating the death penalty, elevating torture, ending environmental protection as we know it, breaking unions, punishing gays, starting more wars, and enacting one more giant tax cut for the rich – or worse"

Maybe Matthews has a point. While the list of horrors he mentioned are close to our agenda, Matthews is a bit off on every item he listed, but he has spurred me into thinking  maybe its time for the tea partying neo-cons like me to admit what we really have in store for this country should our people get elected in 2012. Since no one else is willing to do it...I guess it will be up to me to let the world know. Below is the secret Tea Partiers list of what we will get done in the first year after we take over, its very close to what Mr. Tinkle said above.

• The Death Penalty- Matthews is wrong, Conservatives celebrate life and those who believe in a death penalty feel it is a necessary evil.  That being said, we plan to add two crimes to the Capital Punishment list.

--Wearing too much perfume. You know those people who always plop down next to you on a train or bus, mostly women, who smell like they basted themselves is "aire de cheapo perfume?" Sorry ladies, but that is a crime against humanity.

--Cell phone abusers. You are on the 6 am train into Manhattan catching a precious few extra moments of sleep,  when suddenly two rows in front of you a guy rouses you out of your slumber by talking loudly into his cell phone about his "conquest" the night before. Under a GOP/Tea Party administration, US DHS Agents will be on each and every bus and train car with orders to shoot and kill the loud public phone talker.

• Elevating torture.  Again Matthews has the right idea but not in the way he thinks. We will not be torturing any al Qaeda terrorists, but we will be torturing people who's time has long passed, just to convince them to "go away."  I am speaking about people like Al Gore and Meghan McCain to name a few.  Also earning torture will be anybody who creates horrible nightmares, I am talking about the mental images that cause people to scream in their sleep forever.  This law is not meant to discourage film makers who create horror films.  We are talking about the real horror makers, people like Nancy Grace having a wardrobe malfunction on live TV, or 967-year-old Hugh Hefner talking about his sex life with 22-year-old playmates.

• Punishing Gays. OK, Matthew has us there, once the Tea Party-NeoCons take over we will be punishing Gays. We will also be punishing African-Americans, Latinos, Jews, women, Muslims, redheads, other conservatives and anybody else who breaks the law. We wont be punishing groups but individuals and unlike the progressives we will treat everyone equally, without political correctness or regards to their race, religion, hair color and/or what kind of pre-sweetened cereal they had for breakfast.

• Breaking Unions. There is one rule that the Neo-Tea Party types have which Mr. Matthews must be unaware of, "you break it, you fix it." No one wants to break anything.  In fact it is because of this rule that we do not support Barack Obama for re-election, he broke the economy and instead of trying to fix it, he wants to keep breaking it

• Starting More Wars. Mr. Tinkle must have read this one wrong.  The Neo-teas do not want to start wars, we want any President to get congressional approval before he starts any wars. Just like President Bush did before Afghanistan and Iraq, just as President Obama didn't before Libya.

• Tax Cuts For The Rich. Yep we can own up to that one also.  Those nasty conservatives do want tax cuts for the rich, they also want tax cuts for the middle class, and anybody else who fits into the 53% of Americans who pay income taxes.   I will let you in on a little secret that you cannot tell people where you heard it. Those Tea Party Neo-cons believe that the tax monies paid into the government is really the tax payers money so the government should be using less of it and returning as much as possible to its original owners.

• And Even Worse... Here's is something that even Chris Matthews doesn't know.  There is a Tea Party plan to force Crayola Crayons to get rid of some of their crayon colors because the names sound too subversive.  Among those slotted for elimination are:

-Atomic Tangerine (sounds too terroristy)
-Beaver (no sexual references)
-Cotton Candy (this recommendation came from Michelle Obama)
-Magic Mint (too druggy)
-Piggy Pink (sounds too much like Congressional earmarks)
-Tickle Me Pink (sounds too much like former Congressman Massa)

There you have it, the real agenda of the Neo-Cons and Tea Party movement. And to think if Chris Matthews didn't push the point, we never would have fessed up. No, we probably would have been hanging out looking for ways to live on the public dole, take other people's money, while looking for others to place blame.  You know....just like progressives.

HORSE CRAP! Liberal Media Claims "Occupy Wall Street" is a Left-Wing Tea Party

The liberal media has constantly found ways to put down the tea party movement.  First there were the sexual slurs we were 'tea baggers." Then we were racists, stupid and finally we were stubborn extremists whose only wish was to close down the government and/or remove Barack Obama from office.

The media's latest slander of the Tea Party puts all of the others to shame. They are calling the left-wing "Occupy Wall Street" protests in New York a liberal tea party.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I know the tea party, I have been to some of their rallies, some of the tea party leaders are friends of mine, it is with 100% certainty I can report that the only similarity between the tea party movement and the occupy wall street protests is they are both comprised of Homo Sapiens.

That doesn't stop the liberal media though. Take NBC news for example; On Saturday Night's Evening News correspondent Michelle Franzen quoted Columbia University's Dorian Warren who asserted the Wall Street protests were "a liberal version of the Tea Party." He added: "I think this could potentially carry over into the 2012 elections and get people to the polls."

On Sunday's Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked liberal Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne about the movement: "...your column out tomorrow talks about the equivalent Tea Party movement on the left. 

Time Magazine said:

In its broadest outlines, this new outpouring of protest is driven by the same fuel that gave fire to the Tea Party: Anger at elites, a feeling of injustice, a concern about jobs, fear about the direction of the economy and a clear desire to take action. Whereas the Tea Party focused these furies on government, Occupy Wall Street focuses the fury on corporate America. It seems, quite simply, to be the left’s answer to the right’s size-of-government critique that has dominated national politics for the last two years.

Neither in methodology or goals is there any similarity between the tea party and this Occupy Wall Street group.

Tea Party rallies were calm protests whose attendees respected the local ordinances and cleaned up after they were done. For the most part the only people arrested at tea party rallies were the SEIU thugs sent by the administration to bust some heads. At the occupy Wall Street rally yesterday, 700 people were arrested for ignoring police instructions and blocking access to the Brooklyn Bridge.

The goals of the Tea Party were all about returning this country to what made it great,  following the road map of this country's success, the  Constitution, along with the the traditional American values of freedom, independence celebrating success, and personal responsibility.

The Occupy Wall Street Folks have a list of demands most of them are unconstitutional, they are the antithesis of the traditional American values. The Occupy Wall Street folks created goals that are all about tearing down institutions.  They are looking to create dependency on the government, take away freedom and blame all of their problems on others. Under the Occupy Wall Street demands, no one would ever have to work hard ever again. If they had their way everyone would just be able to take more from the government's endless supply of cash. All loans will be forgiven and everyone will have a salary whether they work or not.

• Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

• Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

• Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

• Demand four: Free college education.

• Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

• Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

• Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

• Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

• Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

• Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

• Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

• Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

• Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

Respecting  the local laws vs. 700 arrests on one day, using the guide book that made America great the Constitution vs. ignoring what worked so well, personal responsibility vs. eliminating responsibility, a sense of independence and pride in ones accomplishments vs. allowing others to do everything for you, celebrating success vs.penalizing it, those are the basic differences between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street group.

Sorry media you are all wrong, there is absolutely no similarity between the Tea Party movement and the Occupy Wall Street protests.  To imply that they are even remotely the same is pure horse crap!

Maxine Waters Leaks More Verbal Stupidity-The GOP is Using Obama For His Food

In Maxine Waters' warped mind there is nothing wrong with this country except for the fact that the GOP and the Tea Party movement exist. She believes that everybody has the right to HER opinion. After saying the Tea Party should go to hell, Obama's programs help white people too much today she said that the President wasn't doing enough to bash his opponents.  Especially since they have been stealing his food and they are trying to kill him.

“He’s been very nice about it,” Waters said of Obama’s budget negotiations with Republicans. “He’s been on the other side of the aisle talking with people. He’s invited them up to the White House to have beer. He’s invited them to come and watch the Super Bowl games.

“He’s done all of that, and when they eat his food and drink his beer and leave, then they go and try to kill him [on Capitol Hill],” she told an audience gathered for the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation’s annual legislative conference in Washington.

Gee, what ever happened to the new tone? No one has said they want to kill the POTUS. On top of that the President serves a mean bean dip.

“You’ve gotta fight — you will not win this battle without fighting,” she added.

Waters and her fellow Democratic party members of the CBC are very upset they are not winning the class war.

Many House liberals have been disenchanted with Obama going back to December, when the president accepted GOP demands that the Bush-era tax rates be extended to even the wealthiest Americans — a provision strongly opposed by most Democrats.

The president drew similar liberal criticism this summer for backing enormous cuts in both a 2011 spending bill and legislation to raise the debt ceiling. More recently, some CBC members wondered aloud why Obama didn’t visit any urban areas on his August jobs tour through the Midwest.

....“We love the president. We want him to be successful,” Waters said. “But does he feel our pain? Does he understand what’s going on out here?”

Then she went after her favorite target

“We have got to show up. The Tea Party shows up. The Tea Party intimidates everybody,” she said. “We have to show people that we have no fear. Don’t mistake the silence for intimidation.”

Waters and her fellow progressives don't "get it." When they demonize the tea party, they demonize the American people. Because the polls show that American people support the tea party positions even when they don't support the tea party itself.

Allow me to suggest that Ms Waters may one day regret her attacks on grass roots America.

William Shakespeare Responds to The CBC Declaration of War Against The Tea Party

Tea Party Patriot-William Shakespeare

During the past few weeks we have been covering the cross-country trip of Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) who have been been using job fairs as an excuse to incite hatred against the grass roots Tea Party movement. Among the more famous incidents were Maxine Waters telling the Tea Party to go to hell,  Frederica Wilson declaring the Tea Party as the enemy, and CBC Whip Andre' Carson's statement that the Tea Party programs are the efforts of Jim Crow who would like to see Black American's "hanging from a tree."

These charges are very serious and very false. Rather than try to address these CBC charges myself, I have decided to ask someone much more talented in the language arts to answer the Congressional Black Caucus. I've channeled the Bard himself, William Shakespeare to answer the CBC's reprehensible, divisive rhetoric. This morning I went to a medium-rare and spoke to the spirit of the Bard of Avon, below is what he told me to write:
To call me names if it will feed nothing else,
it will feed my resolve. The CBC hath disgraced me, and
hindered me with their mistruths; laughed at my losses,
mocked at my policy, scorned my constitution, thwarted my
honest dialogue, cooled my supporters, heated mine
enemies; and what's his reason? I am a tea party patriot.


Hath not a patriot eyes? hath not a patriot hands, organs,
dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with
the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject
to the same diseases, healed by the same means,
warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
a CBC Democrat is?


If you prick us, do we not bleed?
if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison
us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
expose you for what you are? If we are like you in the rest, 
we will resemble you in that. 

If a tea party patriot wrong a Democrat,
what is his humility? Lies.
If a Democrat
wrong a tea party patriot,
what should his sufferance be by
the Democratic example? 

Why, TRUTH. The villainy you teach us,
we will execute the opposite, and will expose you 
for what you are,  frauds 
who bully American voters like us lest we remind the public 
you have no entitlement to your position
Nay we hold the power and you sit at our whim and will

Remember November, the Second of November remember:
Did not the Tea Party wave rise for the budget's sake?
What progressive was sent home, that did lose,
And not for the economy? 

What, shall one of us
That struck the biggest progressive congress in all of history,
But for Taxing and Spending, shall we now
Contaminate our cause with base rhetoric,
And sell the mighty space of our Constitutional movement
For so much trash talk as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon,
Than such an American


You have done that you should be sorry for.
There is no terror, CBC, in your charges
For we are armed so strong in honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind,
Which I respect not. 

We did ask of you
Not to spend sums of gold, which you denied us,
For we  will raise no more money till the budget cut.
By heaven, we  had rather coin our  hearts
And drop our blood for drachmas than to wring
From the hard hands of any American their limited cash
To pay for your fiduciary indiscretion.


We did sent
To you to pay our bills FIRST,
Which you denied us and called us racist. 
Was that done like Americans? Should we have answered 
the Congressional Black Caucus so?
When Tea Party Patriots grow so covetous of power
To use such rascal venom in political debate
Be ready, gods, with all your thunderbolts.
Dash them to pieces!

Today's Debt Ceiling Votes --Some Unanswered Questions

Like most political junkies, I have spent most of this week closely following the debt ceiling debate. With the help with some contacts on the hill I gained a good insight into what happened and why it happened.  Despite all the knowledge gained there are still so many questions remaining. Here are just a few, and if anyone has the answers please contact me via email or as a comment and let me know.

• Why is the GOP accused of not wanting to negotiate because it insists on no taxes in the debt ceiling plan, but the President is given a free pass for holding on to his demand that there should be taxes?

• Why all the hatred against the Tea Party?  Bill O' Reilly, when you are done filming the gig on Rizzoli & Isles please answer this question, why are you busting the chops of tea party supported members of congress for keeping their campaign promises?  I always thought that keeping campaign promises was a good thing.

•  Why are the TV talking heads, the POTUS, and the Democratic politicians claiming that we will default should there be no deal by August 2? That is a lie. The US will still be paying its interest after that date, therefore there will be no default.

• If this is such a serious issue (and it is) why isn't anyone complaining that the President is planning to spend August 3rd in Illinois  raising cash for his re-election campaign?

• Why do the Democrats get away with saying that the House was wasting is time passing the Boehner plan because it wouldn't pass in the Senate, but no one says the Senate is wasting its time passing the Reid plan which will never pass the house?

• Why is the President allowed to make a speech about bi-partisanship this morning, then go back home and urge his twitter followers to spam the GOP members of congress? 

• To my friends in the tea party, why the circular firing squad? There is nothing wrong with urging congressional Republicans to stand their ground, but calling for the ouster of John Boehner the other day was probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Well until today when one tea party group Tea Party Founding Fathers said they are going to challenge Allen West.  Allen West?  What are you guys freaking crazy?  He is the essence of an honorable public servant, and may one day be President of the United States. Lets all have some decaff and realize we are all on the same side and we are all working to get the same result.

I will continue to think about these questions, please think about it also.
