Like that’s going to happen.

To many Democrats asking them to stop the antisemitism could be construed as either racist or anti-union and in this case, both.

Too many Democrats feel the same way. They support any group that seeks the annihilation of the US.

It is foolish to ask a self loathing jew to stop hating himself.

I don’t care if dems speak out against the Jew-hate that is such a deep part of the OWS mobs. The dems would just be lying, anyway. Talk is cheap. Dem talk is worthless. Personally, I’d rather just not hear dems say anything. Ever.

Occupy Boston officially calls for the overthrow of the US government United with the World for Global Democracy
Posted on October 15, 2011 by OccupyBoston

This statement was ratified and accepted by the Boston General Assembly on Oct. 13 2011.

On 15th October 2011, united in our diversity, united for global change, we demand global democracy: global governance by the people, for the people. Inspired by our sisters and brothers in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, New York, Palestine-Israel, Spain and Greece, we too call for a regime change: a global regime change. In the words of Vandana Shiva, the Indian activist, today we demand replacing the G8 with the whole of humanity – the G 7,000,000,000.

Undemocratic international institutions are our global Mubarak, our global Assad, our global Gaddafi. These include: the IMF, the WTO, global markets, multinational banks, the G8\G20, the European Central Bank and the UN Security Council. Like Mubarak and Assad, these institutions must not be allowed to run people’s lives without their consent. We are all born equal, rich or poor, woman or man. Every African and Asian is equal to every European and American. Our global institutions must reflect this, or be overturned.

Today, more than ever before, global forces shape people’s lives. Our jobs, health, housing, education and pensions are controlled by global banks, markets, tax-havens, corporations and financial crises. Our environment is being destroyed by pollution in other continents. Our safety is determined by international wars and international trade in arms, drugs and natural resources. We are losing control over our lives. This must stop. This will stop. The citizens of the world must get control over the decisions that influence them in all levels – from global to local. That is global democracy. That is what we demand today.

Today, like the Mexican Zapatistas, we say “¡Ya basta! Aquí el pueblo manda y el gobierno obedece”: Enough! Here the people command and global institutions obey! Like the Spanish Tomalaplaza we say “Democracia Real Ya”: True global democracy now!” Today we call the citizens of the world: let us globalise Tahrir Square! Let us globalise Puerta del Sol!

Breaking The War Mentality

[In fact, Hitler did strengthen the German establishment, but not exactly
in the way the bankers and businessmen had wanted; and now, fifty
years later, it is clear who was using whom. [.] someone who leaves the
established order in place. [by Barack Obama, March 10, 1983]

bit more here..

Breaking Free from the Constitution

[Mr. Obama’s comments take a turn from discussing the historical record.
Unprovoked he laments that the Supreme Court “could not break free
from the essential constraints placed by the Founding Fathers in the
Constitution.” He further describes the Constitution as “a charter of
negative liberties.” This is at odds with the preamble to the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights.]

Jim, thank you for publicizing this issue.

How many have seen the punk boy antagonizing the Jewish man in his ‘lotion boy’ youtubes? Where he runs around shouting the N word and acting like the idiot he is? I wonder how many so called civil rights leaders will be voicing their concerns about his actions and the actions of others and demanding that the racist amongst the OWS crowd be held accountable?

I think not… By the way, has anyone noticed that there are almost no black people at these protests? The dis-allowance of black people at your protests is a sure sign of racism according to those who slammed the Tea Party.

PS. I like the new tag for OWS “The Flea Party.”

How much longer can Obama maintain his paper thin facade before he is fully exposed as the Manichurian KGB Operative that he so obviously is?

The news from San Diego is a bit more calm. It seems the protesters and police can get along with minimal fuss. The plaza has been cleared, except for one tent, as a statement that the protest goals have not yet been met. They’ve got some sort of roving protest going on today, expecting about 200 people in an already-populated area.

Oh, and here’s the twitter feed from San Diego.

Turns the stomach to watch that. But a disgusting reality more Americans must witness before Nov ’12.

Many of us, myself included, have thought these people should have been run out and their mess cleaned up long ago. Now I’m thinking this is good. Let the Left expose itself. And let the Dems continue to show Americans – those who’ve been in denial – who they really are.

The Tea Party and sanity of the Republicans will be welcomed with open arms. No, as ugly as this is, it’s ultimately good. Our words and warnings were unconvincing…some have to see it for themselves.

Red Alert, Red Alert! commented:

Obama has presented the Nation with a forged Birth Certificate that he refuses to allow the forensic examination of.

This despite the fact that “expert after expert” have declared the alleged Long Form Birth Certificate a likely forgery.

Obama also has presented the Nation with a Social Security Number that he has used on his tax returns and his Selective Service Registration Form.

A Social Security Number that inexplicably was issued by a state that Obama never resided in.

A Social Security Number that failed an e-verify system check!

The truth is Obama was never properly vetted by Congress and does not meet the Constitutional Eligibility Requirements to be POTUS.

What is further, given Obama’s numerous shady associations with gansters and terrorists (for example Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko) Obama could not have passed a background check that would allow him enough clearence to the scrub toliets of any self-respecting intelligence agency.

Yet here Obama is, acting as Commander and Chief, commiting troops to war after war without Congressional authorization.

It’s time to stop the insanity people!

It’s time to demand a Congressional Investigation of all of Obama’s Identity Papers now!
