Keep the protests going 

Seriously … the Republicans couldn’t ask for a better group of campaigners against Barack Obama than the various “occupy” protests going as long as possible.  The ObamaMedia is trying to promote the protests with commentary on how the nation is starting to embrace the causes represented by the protesters.  Really?  Let’s see – just what parts of the Occupier’s agenda is resonating? 

•  Are Americans rallying around the idea of a $20 minimum wage?
•  How about the Occupier’s demand for a guaranteed annual living wage income for every American whether or not they’re working.
•  Perhaps this one .. maybe this is what is resonating with America.  Open borders so all people can live and work wherever they want to.
•  If not the “open borders” thing .. maybe it’s the “free college education” that is bringing America to the Occupier’s doorsteps.
•  Oh .. I know!  It’s the “forgiveness of all debt on the entire planet period” demand.

The point here is, for the most part these occupiers are idealistic brats who have really never had to stand on their own at any time in their lives.  They are being co-opted by experienced activists from various groups – labor, ecological, socialist, communist – who see minds ripe for rape and exploitation.

We’ve seen demonstrations like this before.  As George Will writes:

“From 1965 through 1968 the left found its voice and style in consciousness-raising demonstrations and disruptions.  In November 1968, the nation, its consciousness raised, elected Richard Nixon President and gave 56.9 percent of the popular vote to Nixon or George Wallace.  Republicans won four of the next five presidential elections.”

That’s why I want these protests to continue.  Step ‘em up if you Occupiers can manage that as well.  I need more occupiers calling my show to tell me that the top  1% of income earners in this country earn “about 75% of all income” and that the corporate tax rate is “15%”.  We need more video of occupiers telling America that for every dollar individuals pay in income tax “corporations only pay 25 cents.  I know because I read that on-line.”  I need to hear from more experienced “activists” who have glommed on to the occupiers push such things like opposition to the death penalty.

These occupiers are the best campaigners the Republicans have right now.  Keep it up and keep the spotlight on them. I’m loving it.
