"We Are the 99%"... Misinformed

The “Occupy” people ( I say Occupy people instead of Occupy Wall Street people because it is no longer restricted to Wall Street) claim they are the 99%, that capitalism doesn't work for them, it only works for the top 1%. That is one of their claims. They are gravely misled, capitalism works for anyone in America who has the gumption and drive to succeed. For capitalism to work you have to be willing to get off your ass and take a risk that in the end turns into a profit (financial, emotional, or both) for you.

The problem with the Occupy people seems to be that they want others to do for them instead of doing for themselves. This alone makes them less then 99% it makes them more like the bottom 50% (you know, the ones that look to the government to provide for them instead of trying to earn a living) who want to drag other down to their level. They have no respect for hard working Americans who are trying to make a living in this tough economy, instead they try to rile them up into a frenzy by asking questions like “Are you ok with the fact that you probably paid more in taxes last year than corporations, yes or no?” Lets analyze this question for a second.

First, this question is a misleading question, it interjects the assumption that first, most people are paying more in taxes then the “Evil Corporations” This is not true. The question is meant to play on the emotions of the individual asked in order to make them have a negative view of corporations. After all, ARE YOU OK with this horrible situation? Don't you think you should be angry about it? The situation is not being thrust upon you, this question just assumes that you are a faceless victim and then it thrusts this perceived situation upon you, never giving you a chance to counter the claim. It is designed make the person who was asked assume that these evil corporations have been weaseling their way out of paying taxes, leaving the rest of us (Americans) to pick up the burden. The fact of the matter is most Americans (51%) pay no taxes at all with the exception of sales tax, and even then there are some that avoid that as well. The average working American actually falls into the 35% that only pay 25% of this nations taxes. The top 1% that the Occupy people are attacking pay 45% of the taxes, almost half of US tax revenue. The remaining 13% pay the remaining 30%.

Secondly, the question is ended in such a way to make it a yes or no question. This is not a yes or no question because everyone's financial situation differs and I can promise you, the Occupy people more then likely pay a lot less in taxes then corporations. The question is designed to guide the person asked into thinking about it on simplistic yes or no terms, throwing logic and reason out the window, thus making the person asked more malleable to the Occupy logic or lack there of. Once they have the hook set they can start feeding more misinformation to the individual asked in order to recruit them to the cause.

In asking idiotically misleading questions like this, the Occupy people look to bring emotionally charged people (useful idiots if you will) into their fold where they can keep feeding them lies in order to make them angrier. This will eventually lead to a mob mentality. When you think about it, that will be ideal for the Occupy people, because ultimately every mob needs someone to direct them in order to make them as effective for the Occupy movement.

These people think that they are the core of the Occupy movement, but they don't realize that they are carefully getting worked into a mob, instead it is the people who are masterfully directing these useful idiots that are the real core. These Occupy protesters don't even realize that the masterminds behind this movement are actually some of the people that fall into the 1% (like George Soros) that they claim to hate. Fact of the matter is, if the masterminds behind this movement succeed in what they are trying to bring about, it will drive the people they are using (the protesters) into the ground, giving them a platform to snatch up the power that they think should be theirs.

If you are one of the people who finds themselves getting sucked into the Occupy Movement, be careful. If it continues at the rate that it is growing we will start to see rioting start soon from these Occupy groups. Get out before it comes to this, once we hit the stage where rioting starts it will be too late to get out. The Occupy Movement is getting close to that point, they are already displaying images of bankers and CEOs being hung as well as displaying the likeness of CEOs heads on pikes. It is only a matter of time before these people turn to full blown violence. Get out while you can, please!

I'm going to build upon these and other thoughts in future posts so sorry if this one seemed rushed, I just don't have time to put all my thoughts down for you. I will leave you with one last thought to consider, Remember, they are calling for REVOLUTION not reform, that alone should be call for alarm.

"Old McDonald Had an Illegal Alien" (And Other Great Hits Like "Illegal Aliens Fell on Alabama")

Alabama's new illegal immigration law came under a lot of fire before it was implemented, as many lies and distortions were told about the law by liberal groups and media in order to make the Hispanic populace scared. Once the law finally got implemented the earth shattering consequences that were predicted simply did not occur, but the cries of indignation remain, fueled by half truths and lies told about the aftermath if the implementation of the law. I hope to clear some of these things up for you.

First I want to address the people who claim that this law is a racist blow to discriminate against the Hispanic population of Alabama. This is a distortion of the law. The law never singles out Hispanics, in fact it worded to prevent officers from discriminating against anyone based off of their race. How can the law be racist if it designed to protect against racism? On top of that, why do the people who state this automatically assume it is targeting Hispanics? Do they believe all Hispanics are illegal? Going with that line of thinking, do they think all non-Hispanics are legal? Don't they realize that people how are not of Hispanic decent can be here illegally too? After all, there are more countries out there besides America and Mexico. Case in point, the first person to get detained because of this law wasn't Hispanic, he was from Yemen.

That brings me to my second point. The story that the liberal news media is trying to spin on the illegal immigration law in order to make it look like an utter failure actually assures that the law is working as intended. The previously mentioned story is about three men from Yemen who were arrested on drug related charges. One of them had a drivers license, he was released after making bail, the second had a work visa, he was released after making bail, the third had no form of identification and could not state his drivers license number or social security number, he was detained until his lawyer could prove he was here legally. The liberal news media wants you to think that the police just picked this poor man (the third one) up because he looked like he wasn't a citizen. No they picked him up because he was messing with illegal substances and then was detained because he could not prove he was here legally. He was NOT Hispanic, nor, if you see any pictures of him, does he look Hispanic, that throws the theory that it is a racist law that targets Hispanics out the window.

The law is designed to protect Alabama citizens from criminals, plain and simple. I, for one, have no problem with criminals having it a little tougher. As for those of you who think that illegal aliens (or as the Obama regime wants to call them, undocumented workers) are not criminals, put the crack pipe down and listen up. Illegal aliens come to the USA through ILLEGAL means, meaning, THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW. I know some of you bleeding hearts out there take offense to that, but it is true. “Well, they're just coming here because they want to work to provide for their families in Mexico,” is what some of you are saying right now. Yes, that is the reason some of them come over here, but you know what? That doesn't make it any less illegal, they are still breaking the law. The USA has plenty of guest worker programs that the Mexican citizens can take advantage of in order to come here LEGALLY and work. As for you who are asking “Well, what about the ones here seeking asylum? Hmm? What about them?” Once again, there are legal ways for people seeking asylum, to come here for protection that don't involve breaking the law.

Now to my third point, and this is the one I find myself getting the angriest about. Alabama farmers have stated that this law has dried up the workforce that they relied on for harvesting their crops. They claim that they can't get any non illegals to come work for them, stating that Alabamians refuse to do that kind of physical labor. I don't know about you, but if I was hurting for work (and Alabamians are at the moment with ten percent unemployment) I believe I would jump at the chance to earn some money. If Alabamians are truly refusing to do this kind of work to earn an honest days wage, then that right there says something about the unemployment system not doing it's job right, (but that is a discussion for another time) and we really need to reform it so people stop wanting to settle for unemployment. In fact, some of the local radio stations that have been interviewing these farmers have offered to let them advertise, free of charge, that they need work and where the people who want it need to go and who they need to call. The farmers every time have refused to give out that information so that Alabamians who want to work have no way to contact them for work. Am I the only one that sees the problem there? That, though, isn't that part that makes me mad.

What makes me mad about the claims of these farmers is some of the thing they are saying when talking about how this law has screwed them. I'm not saying all of them have said this but a fair number of times I have heard this said (yes this is a quote), “Them brown skinned folks is the only ones that will come out here and do this kinda work. Colored folks and white folks won't stoop to doing this kinda back breaking work. After all, them brown skinned folks is built for it, they are made to work out in the heat and the sun.” Not all the farmers have said exactly that (but the nature of what is said is the same) but that it the latest I have heard with my own ears, which is why I quoted it. Am I the only one this kind of speech ticks off? How dare they refer to these people like they are live stock! Both Illegal and legal Hispanics are not live stock! This kind of speech churns my stomach, it is disgusting, reprehensible, hateful, and extremely offensive. The last time speech like this was said about a people based off their skin color was back when plantation owners were told they could no longer use slave labor. Is that what we have come to think of these people who come here looking for work as? Slave labor? NO, if they come here illegally they may be criminals, but they are NOT slaves!

The plantation owners had to change their business model when they could no longer use slave labor, the ones that didn't throw up their hands in defeat survived and were able to continue earning a profit thru legal means. The farmers here in Alabama need to do the same, adjust their business models and they will see their business survive. Those who refuse to change will see their business crumble and fall, that is the simple truth to it. They can succeed by hiring legal citizens who want and need the work, they just have to try.

The Occupy Wall Street Zombies Drink Kool-Aid, Not Tea!

I am so sick of people comparing the “Occupy Wall Street” movement to the Tea Party. This is a complete misrepresentation. The two movements have nothing really in common. The Tea Party stands for upholding the principles that this nation was built upon, once again relying on the Constitution to lead us as it is written, not the twisted interpretations that politicians have come up with to promote their own agendas. The Occupy Wall Street movement is all about destroying the current system in order to create an environment of chaos, in which they can rebuild the financial structure to a socialist utopia model that has been tried in Europe multiple times, failing every time, driving those nations into chaos in the process.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a destructive force that is building on the left, much like the Tea Party was a constructive force building on the right. The Occupy Wall Street movement is attempting to place themselves into the same position as the Tea Party except they are going about it in a completely different fashion. The are using lies and deceit to try to affect the emotions of the ignorant to cause them to rise up against against the financial systems of the US. They are backed by groups that have been known to have malicious intent against the US government including Anonymous.

If you need proof of this I present a transcript of the promise of attack posted today by Anonymous ….

“Greetings, Institutions of the Media.

We are Anonymous. The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye.

It seems that the government and Federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision.

We witness the Government enforcing the laws that punish the 99% while allowing the 1% to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people. We have observed this same Government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This Government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis.

We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life.
We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction.
We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill gotten profits.
We will not labor for your leisure.
We will not assist you in any way.

This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.

We will show the world that we are true to our word. On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On October 10th, expect a day that will never, ever, be forgotten.

Vox Populi, Vox Anon.
The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous.
We are Legion. We are the 99%.
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
Wall Street: Expect us”

Anonymous has once again proven their dedication to anarchy thru terrorism in order to harm innocents who are hard working individuals trying to make a living the best they can. They claim, like the Occupy Wall Street movement, that this is the will of the people and for the good of the people. How is terrorism and chaos good for the people? All that does is creates an atmosphere where might will make right, in this case might being money. Don't these idiots realize that the people with the money are the ones they are claiming are the problem? By taking the steps that Anonymous and the Occupy Wall Street movement are taking, they are setting it up to put the people (George Soros for example) they claim to hate into stronger positions of power. In fact I personally believe that the people that will benefit (see the prior sentence) are the ones behind stirring the pot of ignorance that has led to this.

The Tea Party on the other hand has taken steps to educate anyone that is willing to learn about the principals that this nation was built upon. Thru doing that they hope to raise awareness of the corruption and abuse of power in Washington. They believe that thru proper and truthful knowledge the people will gain the knowledge to elect people into office that will enact change that is sorely needed to bring back honor and integrity to our government. It also encourages non-politicians to get involved in politics in order to bring about the changes that our government sorely needs. It also encourages dissenting views in order to encourage intelligent debate on the issues in order to guide our nation to the prosperity that we once had.

The Occupy Wall Street movement, hand in hand with Anonymous, is attempting to remake America through promotion of ignorance and terrorism, whereas the Tea Party is attempting to steer America back to it foundations and principles through promotion of knowledge and education. There are hard times coming. Which side will you stand with?
