700 Protesters Arrested Today On Wall Street

[Gift_from_God]

His closest friends throughout his life have been communists/socialists or sympathizers of Marxists like Che.

I’d be willing to bet that if you could get into his head, he’s a lot further left than you think he is.

Nonsense. Pure poppycock. Some of my closest friends are socialists or libertarians, but it doesn’t say anything about me

And family? BTW, would you appoint your libertarian friends to adviser position within your cabinet if you were an elected official? How many Republicans has Obama appointed to positions close to him?

The fact is, if you look at his life and his speeches, it wreaks of the radical left. Where it stops, I don’t know. Could be socialism, could be Marxism for all I know.

 

[Seamus_L]

I like the idea of declaring that Wall Street is the real enemy of America, but if these people think they’re going to change the system through the Democratic Party, well I’d say it’s time to put down the crack pipes. The Democrats, like the Republicans are completely owned by Wall Street.

 

[Gift_from_God]

And family?

My family is mainly conservative or apolitical

BTW, would you appoint your libertarian friends to adviser position within your cabinet if you were an elected official?

Probably not

How many Republicans has Obama appointed to positions close to him?

Robert Gates. He had a very important job to do. He also had Huntsman as Ambassador to China. Bernanke is also Republican and Ray LaHood is Secretary of Transportation

The fact is, if you look at his life and his speeches, it wreaks of the radical left. Where it stops, I don’t know. Could be socialism, could be Marxism for all I know.

Incorrect. He is nothing of the sort. His speeches aren’t anywhere near Marxist or socialist, and his actions are barely even liberal

 

[Gift_from_God]

Except Anthony Weiner. Oh wait, they ran him out of town. Well, you still have Bernie Sanders, who is an independent

The real question these neophyte protester should ask themselves is: do they have a 401K or any other investment? a 503b? an IRA account? all of these have interest returns contingent on Wall Street.

Has anyone protesting in NY actually read the “declaration” of the Occupy Wall Street protests? Most likely not. Here it is anyway:
nycga.cc/2011/09/30/declaration-of-the-occupation-of-new-york-city/
19 times the document cites “They” listing a list of alleged corporate abuses of which all are not not “all-inclusive”. It is a cherry picked list of pet grievances of unions, PETA, and even internet media which they use to arrange these protests, such as Facebook and other ISP’s.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

Yep, that’s what most social network sites do, Facebook, Yahoo, and other darlings of the liberal media, they make money on the information provided.

This is a classic power play by the ultra rich (George Soros, anyone?) to get the middle class fighting amongst themselves to help enrich the already wealthy.

That was good information to note just how frivolous these type of protests have become.

‘They’ this, and ‘they’ that, as if their is a great big conspiracy out to keep the little guy down.
700 punks by the sounds of it, with nothing better to do with their lives than complain about how somebody else is responsible for the fact that they are all a bunch of losers3

What proof is their that George Soros or anyone else, by the way, is behind this?

Not Obamas. Mostly radicals.

Probably not

Exactly

Robert Gates. He had a very important job to
He also had Huntsman as Ambassador to China. Bernanke is also Republican and Ray LaHood is Secretary of Transportation

I’ll give you Gates, Huntsman and maybe Bernanke. LaHood’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Political advisor – David Axelrod

For those who think Axelrod is just a good campaign consultant, you couldn’t be more wrong. Axelrod has a long history of working for obscure socialist candidates and Obama was no different, politically, from his other clients. In fact, promoting socialist causes was a family tradition. His mother wrote for a New York City tabloid called PM Magazine, which often promoted the Communist Party line. Indeed, author IF Stone, later revealed to be working for the KGB, was PM’s DC correspondent. Much of the tabloid’s funding came from Marshall Field, a hard left millionaire who also funded Saul Alinsky’s training school. Axelrod has spent his entire life promoting extremist candidates, but no one bothered to look into his background. Today, he advises Obama on all things political.

Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change – Carol Browner

Browner previously served as head of the EPA during the Clinton regime where she advocated incredibly stupid environmental regulations that destroyed entire industries. At a time when America is losing jobs in record numbers, she is precisely the right person for the Obama job-killing machine. Browner is a socialist and was picked by Socialist International to be one of 14 leaders of a group it created called the Commission for a Sustainable World Society. SI believes in massive wealth redistribution from the West to the Third World, choosing to ignore the evidence that Third World countries are poor due to their socialist policies.

Moreover, SI constantly attacks the free market in general and the United States in particular. The fact that Obama has chosen both Browner and Todd Stern (Climate Czar) does not bode well for the American economy. The recent disclosure that the climate models used by Browner and Stern to justify draconian new regulations – such as Cap and Trade – are based on inaccurate data, has not fazed the Obama administration one bit. For Obama, environmentalism is a tool for increasing government control and nothing else.

The Regulatory Czar – Cass Sunstein

Sunstein was nominated and approved to be Obama’s “Regulatory Czar.” He supports massive gun control and doesn’t believe the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. He has straight out said, “We ought to ban hunting.”

Science Czar – John Holdren

In his book, Holdren advocates some of the most bizarre and horrifying policy stances imaginable. In the event of a “over-population crises,” Holdren supports “laws requiring compulsory abortion,” government confiscation of new born babies, the “development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin,” and, incredibly, “adding a sterilant to drinking water or stable foods….” as long a livestock would not be affected (as experimentally implemented in India). Holdren wants the government to dictate family size and advocate a “planetary regime,” run by the United Nations. This real life Dr. Frankenstein will be deciding science policy for the United States of America.

Chief Diversity Officer, Federal Communications Commission – Mark Lloyd

While Obama is playing coy with his plans to shut down conservative talk radio, we know what his real intentions are, due to his appointment of Mark Lloyd. Lloyd’s view of the 1st Amendment is shocking:

  “It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of   speech or the press.

   This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references

   to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination

   of other communications policies. “[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect

    global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.”

Like many of Obama’s appointees, Lloyd worked for George Soros, the foreign billionaire who funds anti-America groups. He seems to be enamored with dictators and has even publicly praised Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez’s “incredible…democratic revolution.” He also wants to use the Fairness Doctrine to “balance” talk radio and believes there are too many white people in the media. He has written that unless there are “more people of color, gays and other people…we will not change the problem.” One of his solutions to “balance” the media is to fine conservative radio stations up to $250 million and give the proceeds to National Public Radio. Get ready for censorship like America has never seen before.

Deputy Attorney General – David Ogden

This appointment must have been a favor for the porn industry; Ogden has probably done more than anyone in America to defend the “rights” of pornographers. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said Ogden “is more than just a lawyer who has had a few unsavory clients. He has devoted a substantial part of his career, case after case, for 20 years, in defense of pornography.” For example, he argued in support of the American Library Association when they went to court to challenge mandatory anti-obscenity internet filters in school libraries. Incredibly, the ALA/Ogden position was that libraries should be free-speech zones in which school children should have the right to access anything they want – even pornography – on school computers.

This comes as no surprise, when Ogden was an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, he argued on constitutional grounds to strike down the conviction of a defendant who received and possessed child pornography. Ogden believes there is a constitutional right to possess child pornography. The appointment of Ogden is apparently what Obama means when he talks about promoting “family values.”

Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel – Dawn Johnson

Johnson is the former legal director for the National Abortion Rights Action League, a group on the extreme left of the abortion debate. They oppose any restrictions on abortion for any reason, at any time of pregnancy—even late term abortions. She has also worked for the ACLU. Johnson has argued that abortion is all about “sexual freedom.” That’s right: have sex with whoever you want and whenever you want and if you get pregnant, get an abortion. This same mentality has led to skyrocketing sexual disease rates, unwanted pregnancies, and untold sorrow. In a brief filed while working with NARAL,Johnson cited a source that said forcing women to bear children was “disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state’s asserted interest.” In other words, being pregnant is comparable to being a slave

.

Secretary, Department of Education – Arne Duncan

Obama appointed Duncan due to his alleged success as CEO of Chicago’s public schools. However, in 2007, only 10% of black 4thgraders in Chicago reached the proficiency level in reading and for black 8th graders, only 9% reached reading proficiency. In math, only 8% of black students reached proficiency in 4th grade and just 6% reached proficiency in 8th grade. This was the disappointing outcome, despite spending $13-$14,000 per student and is among the highest of any major city.Even worse, a majority of Chicago public school students drop out or fail to graduate with their class. Needless to say, the Duncan era was a disaster. He did, however, pursue an aggressive agenda to promote the homosexual lifestyle in the schools. So Chicago kids can’t read or write, but they all know how to engage in homosexual sex. If anyone tells you Duncan is an “education reformer,” tell them you’re the tooth fairy.

Counsel, State Department – Harold Koh

The man Obama has named as the State Department’s legal advisor is Harold Koh. Koh believes America should defer to the International Court of Justice to determine legal precedents; a totally unconstitutional endeavor. He is a member of the “trans-nationalism” school of legal thought that believes all distinctions between American Constitutional law and international law should vanish. Incredibly, he even believes Muslim law –Sharia law– should be applied to some disputes in US courts. Clearly, his views are in contradiction to the Constitution he swore to uphold, but no matter, he is now in charge of all legal issues for the U.S. State Department.

Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs – Valerie Jarrett

Jarrett is involved with vetting all the extremists Obama has appointed and thus, has to be an extremist as well. For example, she was aware that former Green Czar Van Jones (who withdrew) had a long history of involvement in Communist Party causes, but still said she was “delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House.” She had to have known, because she married into a family with a pedigree of Communist Party involvement. Her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, worked closely with Obama mentor and Communist Party leader Frank Marshall Davis in a number of Communist Party front groups during the Cold War years. Valerie married Vernon’s son in 1983 and later became chief of staff for Mayor Richard Daley, where she was a key player in perhaps America’s most corrupt big city political machine. Obama does not go forward with anything without her counsel.

Incorrect. He is nothing of the sort. His speeches aren’t anywhere near Marxist or socialist, and his actions are barely even liberal

Again, your argument is based on what the President has to portray and not the person he is. He made his beliefs known before he became President, fortunately for the sake of the country he would have to pass legislation giving him full power to implement any of it.

Just to name a few, because there are more.

“Che You Can Believe In”?

 

[bbarrick8383]

A socialist independent at that.

 

[ishii]

I’m dead serious. Obama is no liberal. this idea that he’s liberal is just some right-wing talking point. Speaking as a left-winger, he hasn’t done anything real liberal. Look at Bernie Sanders or Anthony Weiner and then look at Obama. Big difference

What a joke. Look at Obama’s voting record as a senator. He was rated one of the most liberal senators by liberal groups:

"A study of the voting records of all 100 senators, using an average of the ratings of seven liberal interest groups, described Obama as “among the most liberal”, scoring an 92%, of the Democrats"

And the National Journal rated Obama as “the most liberal senator of 2007.” That’s based on his voting record. He came into office under the banner, “let’s unify America. there is not red America or blue America” blah blah blah. His true colors were exposed when he said to Joe the Plumber: “we have to spread the wealth around.”

Spreading the wealth, taxing the rich and redistributing it to the lower classes - giving people free stuff, is a recipe for failure. It may be popular in economic downturns because its exploits envy, but it creates more poor people. You may say he hasn’t done anything real liberal and that may be true to an extent - he is limited by a GOP House (thank God). But if he tried to do anything truly radical he would face such a backlash that he’d be voted out of office in a landslide if not impeached. Therefore his liberalism has to be passed piecemeal. You may think Obamacare fell short of the liberal true-believer dream but it has gotten the ball rolling toward inevitable socialized single-payer health care. I believe that it will be repealed though. You see, the American people are not liberal.

The top 25% of earners pay 84% of all federal income tax. 47% pay nothing. how does that trnaslate into the rich not paying taxes?

Actually, it is not necessarily the poor who are paying nothing. I know someone who had a salary of over $100k last year who did not pay income taxes.

Believe it or not, I’ve got a good friend nearing 80 years old who has never paid a dime in income taxes in his life. He never finished high school and had close to 1 million in assets here not long ago before he started selling it off. He built most of his brick house, close to 2,000 sq. ft., by himself with an oil pipe frame and home made 2x4’s using a floor layout he cut out of a magazine. To this day he would work most of us under the bus.
