Topic: Occupy Animal Farm: Some occupiers are more equal than others

And further news on the Mom-of-the-Year candidate from Florida:

The Florida mom who ditched her banker husband and four kids to live in Zuccotti Park squalor is a hippie homemaker whose neighbors are horrified by her latest antics -- but are hardly surprised that she flew the coop.

Stacey Hessler, 38 -- a self-described “vegan freak” who’s into dreadlocks, roller derby and “unschooling” her kids -- acts like a self-obsessed college sophomore who never grew up, said a neighbor in her hometown of DeLand, Fla.

“I’m not disgusted she took off [to protest] -- because I’m not surprised,” seethed one next-door neighbor who asked that her name not be published.

One angry neighbor said yesterday it was hardly surprising that Hessler would leave her kids behind and go radical.

“She’s very bizarre,” the neighbor insisted.

On her Facebook page*, Hessler wrote about being a surrogate mom. She also boasted of a panoply of California-style beliefs.

She called herself a “radical unschooling mom of four, midwives assistant, roller-derby queen, rock-star musician, activist, dreadlock princess, African-bee keeper, organic vegan freak and a surrogate for the second time.”

Hessler has gotten even more hippie since she arrived in New York. In Zuccotti Park, she’s been sharing a tarp with a Brooklyn waiter and plans to stay “indefinitely.”

*From her Facebook page:

I have a plea for my friends. I need your help and support. I want to stay occupying wall st. I feel my presence is very important in the support of non-violent communication and sanitation(keeping the park clean) I am willing to work tirelessly on these efforts. I need help with getting my kids to activities and stepping up with the things I help lead, such as one small village, jr roller derby, bee-attitudes, 4H, for his glory co-op. Please respond if you are willing to help my kids so I can stay here and help this movement. I have a train ticket for tomorrow that I want to change but I need to know I have support from my community back home for my family in order to change the ticket.

and:

I am going to be here for a long time, I am not planning on leaving, they need my help to support this movement and I cant leave or I should say I just cant in my heart

The youngster, in a bright orange Baltimore Orioles tee-shirt and black pants, chatted amiably with the ESU officer who was sent up on a cherry picker to coax him down, the NYPD said.

THIS is what we're calling 24 year olds now, "youngster"s??!

Age is a pretty relative thing when you have 90+ year old hippie fools like Francis Fox Piven and Pete Seeger involved in this crap.

[trapeze]

BTW, there had better be some good video taken when they finally turn the fire hoses on these clods. I want to see some hippies gettin' hosed.

I'm ready for sob stories about ruined MacBooks and iPhones. Yeah, baby!

Maybe, but ..... no.  Relative to the times perhaps, but ........ no.

At 24 years old, one is no longer a youngster, equipped as he is with a brain reached maturity, at the height of physical development before beginning the long descent into decrepitude, and as fertile as he will ever be.

He's a "youngster" only because we've permitted the extended adolesence .... to our detriment ..... and pronounced it good with a benign term.

At 24, no one would have called our parents youngsters.  Mine had a three year old and a two year old, held a part-time job notwithstanding, and used to upend and roll the tires out of the garage to sweep in there thus relieving her 27 year old husband of the need to do so when he got home from work.

" . . . roller derby queen . . ."

Oh. I wondered what happened to her teeth.

[BMG]

After seeing literally HUNDREDS of similar stories in the media lately (and other stories that are way worse; like the anti-Semitic rants, the calls for the deaths of 'bankers' when the bankers are simply following the laws installed by the politicians and the 19 year old 'alleged' rape victim at the Occupy Cleveland 'protest' for example) none of this comes as any surprise to me.

What is a source of outrage for me is how they are attempting to link the Tea Party to this garbage. In my opinion it's an effort to tarnish the Tea Party by association and it is sick. It doesn't appear to be working and is rather working against the democrat party from what I can tell. But just that the democrat party tries to do this sort of thing nauseates me and is a reason that is at the top of my list concerning why I absolutely DESPISE democrats.

I recently had to stop attending my church because my Pastor said that he was a proud socialist - no matter that leftism has destroyed and murdered so many people over the years - literally hundreds of millions! It's this sort of twisted mind that absolutely repulses me and I see it in practice here with the democrat party pulling the strings of OWS in an attempt to beguile the ignorant and gullible. When the supposed president of the United States stands at his bully pulpit and encourages racial violence and riots, not only does that illustrate the desperation of the democrat party to retain power, but it also illustrates the depraved evil that is the democrat party. Comparisons to Hitler, I don't believe, are out of order when it comes to these people.

Where is the Tea Party answer to this? What the nation needs right now is a demonstration on the DC Mall, permitted, organized, so the whole world can see the difference. Of course, great strides would have to be made to identify and eject Leftist disruptors. But still, there needs to be an answer to this degenerate demonstration.

[LadyVirginia]

This is sort of like eating Lays potato chips, it's hard to stop with just one.

I love it , Trap, when you eat the whole bag!

[trapeze]

I disagree, IDP. As you allude to in your comment, a Tea Party rally anywhere in the vicinity of New York or DC would be an instant opportunity for the OWC organizers. They would definitely infiltrate the event and disrupt it. I can imagine fist fights to be the minimal level of disruption...anything that would draw the cameras.

What is on our side is time and the time of year. There is a long way to go until the election and a very short time until truly nasty weather clears all of these creeps out of the northeast urban areas. Any prolonged rain or snow and it will all be over. When the number of protesters shrinks, the authorities (also sensitive to local voters) will clear the holdouts from the parks. That will be pretty much the end of the whole issue.

Seriously, for a lot of these idiots it's all about the media coverage. That's one of the reasons that they are driven to ever more ridiculous displays...if it's not new the media won't cover it...not for long anyway, people get bored seeing the same pack of dirty, smelly hippies marching around in a circle. The weather will clear out all but the hardliners. The authorities will clear out the rest. The media will leave, taking with them the magnet that draws the human debris.

Then we will have a break from this nonsense until spring. But when spring arrives the OWS will be old news and there will likely be little to no media available to cover it. The media only has so much in terms of resources and a lot of it will be involved with the primaries at that point. Summer will come and it will be too hot for a sustained protest plus again, the authorities will be motivated to keep their voters happy prior to the election and be reluctant to indulge the fetid hippies.

The spring would be the time to get the Tea Party back in gear as regards public protest. The OWS hippies will not be properly organized since a lot of them will still be in hibernation from the winter. A Tea Party demonstration on the Mall in DC would be very appropriate at that time, too, as it lines up nicely with the primaries...get people energized to throw out RINOs and stuff.

I'm still holding out for youtube videos of hippies knocked off their feet by water cannons, though. Perhaps Christmas will come early this year.

Just to put this extended adolescence into even more perspective, the average age of American troops during WWII was 26 years old. That just so happens to be the same age to which ObamaCare has mandated one remain eligible for coverage by his parents' medical insurance. I recall the same "kids" and "youngsters" language being tossed around during the unveiling of that mandate, in description of people the same age as the average American soldier of WWII.

OWS?!  Dave Ramsey has some words for you.

“Wealth Redistribution Is the Answer!”

I’ve heard a lot about wealth redistribution over the past few years, and I’m sure you’ve heard it too. Call it whatever you want, but this is how it usually sounds to most Americans: “We are the 99% of Americans who don’t have as much as the 1%, so we’re mad and think the government should take their wealth and property away so that I can have a piece of it. Wealth inequality is a moral breakdown! We should all spread the money around so everyone gets a fair share!”

I have my toughest critique for those who believe this: You are a thief.

The occupy wall street group needs some competition. Not from the Tea Party, though.

 I don't believe these people are too bright. There is a sucker born every minute and I believe a bunch of suckers are gathered in one place. My plan is simple. A few well placed "protestors" with bull horns creating a fevered pitched hatred toward "the Rich" and "wall street"...and as the crowd reaches its loudest, said plant protestor exclaims " I don't need Wall Street Toys!!!!! I will not support thier lifesytle!!!!!  Viva la PROTEST!!!! Now, said protestor needs to be carrying a few fake gadgets, so in a fit of defiance, proudly starts smashing his toys on the ground, of course screaming all the correct jargon to have the crowd join in.


make sure the cameras are rolling.

Try this quote on for size:

Well here is what I have to say to these professional idiots:  YOU are the ones who decided to climb into bed with these people.  If you still support them, you are either colossally  stupid, or you have no problem agreeing with their positions.

Fair enough. 

Between now and November, 2012, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that this giant albatross continues to hang around your neck until every last one of you is covered with the stench of anti-Americanism that these people embrace.

In other words, you guys OWN every filthy, stinking piece of this movement.

I found the link to this blogpost on the sidebar at AoS. This is the end quote. You might want to read the rest of it.

And speaking of the colossally stupid, here is the loud mouthed, leftist, lesbian who pretends to be a personal finance expert spouting off about how wonderful it is that this group is out there demanding that they get free stuff from the rich. Yes, it's the ever obnoxious Suze Orman:

I want to publicly say thank you to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Thank you for not accepting the status quo. Thank you for not assuming there is nothing to be done. Thank you for rattling the cages. Much coverage of Occupy Wall Street has cast this as the beginning of something new. That's only partly true. What I find so encouraging is that Occupy Wall Street's more important message is that this marks an end point. An end to just shrugging and putting up with the inequity. An end to patiently waiting for government to get its act together and take steps to reduce the pain felt by millions of Americans who are unemployed, the millions more who are underemployed, and the millions more again who worry that if we indeed slip into a double dip recession they will soon become unemployed. An end to letting Washington just continue further down its dysfunctional dark hole without being called out.

I never had any doubt that Suze Orman is a dim bulb but now she can add "useful idiot" to her resume. Way to go, Suze. ObamaVoter and fool. But I repeat myself.

[trapeze]

And then there's this from "Wrongway Krugman" who can always be counted on to get it wrong:

I think we can definitely say that the effort to dismiss the whole thing as a bunch of smelly ignorant hippies has failed.

Which can only mean that OWS is mostly about smelly ignorant hippies.

[charlesoakwood]

It appears Suze will be making a move from CNBC to MSNBC soon.
