Last night, Occupy DC protesters tried to crash the DC Convention Center where Americans for Prosperity was holding their Defending America Prosperity convention. A Daily Caller reporter and film crew was on hand. Here is what happened. It ain't pretty.

(Funny. I never saw that at a Tea Party event.)
Back in the 1980s, when I was stationed with DEA in Milan, Italy, one of the State Department officials in the consulate, a fellow with a very dry sense of humor, told us about his younger brother. The story went something like this:
"When he was 18, he attended Woodstock. To this day, it's the greatest thing he has ever done in his life."
I have a feeling that many of these slugs will look back on Friday night in the same sense.

What I see here is a bunch of angry, greedy and slothful and ignorant people who want to continue to feed at their mothers breast, for eternity. This is the mob that claims they have been wronged, when in fact they have wronged themselves by making poor choices in their lives. This mob does not have a conscience because collectively, these are ignorant people, who think that their student loans and debt will be erased by un-civil behavior. Sorry, you do have to pay back your loans, because you signed a contract. And by the way, your college classes in soft sciences, such as Social Studies, comparative this and that, Social Justice and Economic Justice will not get you a job. You have no salable skills.
But, if these mobsters are Marxist, Anarchist or Islamist, I understand your need to destroy Capitalism. Although, they should understand that if the mother of their source of sustenance is removed, the free ride is gone. These stupids who are ignorant of past history do not realize that regimes under Communist control, murdered 80 million people in modern times.
Here is a list of organizations supporting the OWS mob mind. They want you as their slaves. or dead.

Mark Steyn, in his recent article put is so well, regarding the ignorant: http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/oakland-325428-class-whole.html
Hope this piece is helpful to those misinformed individuals who think that the OWS is an exercise in patriotism.

This video captures the Democratic Party from core to circumference. If this is what you want for America, vote Democratic! If you want your children to grow up as incoherent needy wards of the State who riot when they don't get something, then vote Democratic!
To avoid this chaos, we have to kick Obama out of office. Then every single Democratic senator and congressman. Next, the whole bureaucracy has to be cleansed of all the officious bureaucrats who issue regulations on their own authority which suffocate the enterprise and then the will and soul of the people who still believe America is the Land of the Free.
Don't forget that this "Occupy" movement has been endorsed by Obama, blessed by Nancy Pelosi, and embraced by Debbie Wasserman Shultz, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This not to mention the support of ACORN who are shredding all their documents at the moment.

I've seen worse stuff at a tailgate party.
I've seen more insightful analysis than Squid's and Miggie's in the National Enquirer.
Siarlys,
I stand in total agreement with Miggie and Squid. What is your analysis of the Occupy movement- Power to the people?
The Occupy movement helps the 21st century observer understand why V.I. Lenin denounced the "spontaneity" of the "mass movement." Of course, we all know where a tight core of highly trained cadres controlling every aspect of a popular movement led to. It is by nature and definition inchoate, which means there is no defined leadership, and anybody who shows up might be taken as "representative" if a microphone and a camera are present.
There is some union support for some of the Occupy actions, but unions are definitely not on control. The White House and the Democratic Party have NO leverage at all -- which is why Miggie is SO laughable saying this is "the Democratic Party from core to circumference." In general, the Occupy movement are disgusted with both Obama and Democrats in general.
Since polls indicate that about 57% of Americans identify positively with the OWS, I suspect it represents the tip of an iceberg that is much more than "a bunch of angry, greedy, and slothful and ignorant people," although history suggests that people of that description will always be found flocking to such mass activity, just as pickpockets flock to a public execution.
Squid and Miggie see what they want to see, and disregard the rest. Apparently, so do you.
