    RIGHT ON Nolan - Occupy DETROIT

    Nolan Finley, the best snark of the weekend pulls the whole "occupy" routine all together with his Sunday editorial.

    I have seen SOME tea party types exclaim that these kids should be courted into the "tea" movement so "they won't be lost to the left."  I argued I could offer no support other than to "agree the fed should be ended." And THAT argument however, needs even more discussion.  My main point against saddling up with the occupy crowd, is frankly that they are little but a tool of this administration's allies.  They are too closely aligned with Marxist and redistributive desires to be even slightly cozy. These kids are already tools of the left, and would be no more inclined to listen to conservative principles than Jennifer Granholm or Saul Alinsky.

    Take your pick whom might be more radical.

    In the editorial, Nolan calls them out as the radicals more aligned with the "sympathetic" administration of Barack Obama who as a matter of course ignored the millions of Tea Party types arguing for a return to limited government.  He notes as "odd" the disparity in acknowledgment between those two groups.  And as 'peace loving' lib-tards go, the occupy crowd doe not disappoint. Nolan closes with:

    "State lawmakers in New York have received emails reportedly connected to Occupy Wall Street containing this cheery call to action: "It's time to kill the wealthy."

    I haven't taken a poll, but my hunch is more Americans relate to "cut the spending" than to "kill the wealthy."

    That's why I'm eager to see this freak show arrive in Detroit."

    It'll be informative for voters to compare the American protesters Barack Obama sympathizes with to those he despises.

    Eager, yes. As am I.

    Our tax dollars at work...

    State workers from Michigan join Occupy Wall Street protest in New York

    They've got time to go bang drums with the wannabe hippie 20-something slacker class?

    Time to start laying their overcompensated goonionized asses off, GoverNerd.

    The number of state government employees declined by 12,900 or 21 percent from 1999 to 2009, while the total payroll increased by 38 percent. The FY 2010 average salary for all state government employees was $54,121, with an average fringe benefit cost of $33,057, for a total average annual compensation cost of $87,178, 52% higher than 10 years earlier.  In FY 2000, the average salary for all state employees was $41,518 with an average fringe benefit cost of $15,756.  The State will spend over $1 billion in health plan premiums for active and retiree health care this year alone.

    Other post-employment benefits (OPEB), principally retiree health care, are currently unaffordable and unsustainable. At the close of FY 2010, the unfunded long-term liability for retiree health care alone totaled $14.5 billion.

    These people actually believe in what they're doing, they're not pretending. They don't realize they're just "useful idiots."

    ...not-quite-a-Willard endorsement (but that's a topic for another post...or a letter to the editor, but I digress).

    I noticed that Mr. Finley neglected to raise one important issue: Exactly what would they occupy?

    GM World Headquarters?

    Hmmm, I don't think that the UAW would take too kindly to their paychecks getting disrupted.

    The state welfare offices in Cadillac Place?

    Ummm, no welfare checks going out? Don't think that the "poor & downtrodden" would take too kindly to that either.

    What's left? The Old Packard Plant? How 'bout Michigan Central Station? The Old Uniroyal Plant? The Hudson's Building?

    Exactly what would there be for them to occupy that would send a message?

    Camping out in Grand Circus Park and beating drums and tambourines all day just doesn't have the media draw as "protests" in other cities.

    We need to use the same discrimination with reports on the "fleabaggers" as we expect for Tea Party actions.  
    The line... "State lawmakers in New York have received emails reportedly connected to Occupy Wall Street...."
    ... makes this just as dubious as all the claims of "racist signs" at Tea Party protests.

    Nah, rdww (none / 0) (#17)

    Breitbart handled the commies bogus racism nonsense.

    Yep, a $100,000.00 reward that's yet to be able to be claimed.

    If all it takes is a stroke of a pen to mandate drug testing for those on the dole (good), then surely it would only take a stroke of the pen to prohibit booze and tobacco purchases/consumption as well (good).
