Occupy – They’re Losers Because Their Attitude Sucks

A great post by Pino over at www.tarheelred.com. He shows an Occupy page where its leaders are asking for help to clean up. Guess what the Occupussies do? They pull backaches and every excuse not to show up and help. Not surprised – they obviously feel that work is “below them”.

As another example, Sean Hannity had an Occupy leader on his show a few days ago. He challenged the guy to wake up early, throw down some coffee, and spend as much time as he does protesting on going out and finding a job. The guy’s response? “Give me a job and I’ll work.” Yes, he said GIVE ME A JOB. “I’ve been trying to get a job,” he says, “I’ve been online sending out resumes for days.” Haha! Sweat pouring off your brow, no doubt.

(Hannity also said he had the kid on his radio show where he was actually offered a job but wouldn’t take it, however I can’t locate the clip…)

That’s the attitude of the Occupy whiner mob in general. Because they breathe, because they feel frustrated – because life isn’t easy and is perhaps getting harder – they feel more compelled (and justified) to take than to give.

Success starts with the right attitude. Yes, it’s cliche, but it’s true and has been proven true time and time again. Bottom line is Occupidiots’ attitudes are not those attitude of successful people, and I don’t mean successful peoples’ attitudes after they’ve won or achieved something – I mean their attitude when they set out to.

Occupiers are ignorant to words “choice”, “initiative”, and “resourcefulness”. They hate all three words because they’re tied to two other words – “work”, and “responsibility” – and because of that, their movement was doomed from the start.

Good riddance indeed.

The Business Of Racism In The USA

The case of Treyvon Martin’s death is a tragic one. Early accounts appear to indicate that an over-zealous, likely racist, cop-wannabe block captain shot a mostly innocent kid for what appears to be “mischief” at worst.

Now enter the vultures Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton now circling Martin’s carcass looking to milk the incident for all it’s worth. In my opinion these two men are more a disgrace to the incident and the cause than they are any sort of solution.

Are they trying to stop racism? No. If that happened they’d lose their lobbying power and be out of a job. Instead, they’re out there fanning the fires of racism to gain attention, popularity, and votes saying racism is some sort of epidemic when it isn’t. A marijuana-smoking kid gets shot by a hispanic and that means it was all of a sudden a “War on Blacks” as Jacson puts it? Hardly.

There should instead be a war on idiots making issues bigger than they actually are for their own media attention, because that to me is a large part of what fuels the violence against people of a certain group or class. Doesn’t some overpaid union rep whining about their virtuslly guaranteed job at 23% higher wage turn public opinion against unions? Similar thing when rich, overpaid, oversensationalized guys like Jackson and Sharpton start playing victim again, I believe, and same as those phony 99%ers.

As for the Sharpton and Jackson issue, the former NAACP president appears to agree. In his comments here, former leader C.L. Bryant says the real epidemic is black on black violence, but we hardly hear Sharpton and Jackson say much about that, do we? I wonder why. Perhaps it doesn’t pay as well as the “fair share” liberal population does, ever wanting to continue apologizing and giving handouts from someone else’s pocket over something they’ll never allow themselves to see and end to or move on from.

Zimmerman’s a creep and a killer, and he should be punished to the full extent of the law. People like Spike Lee, Sharpton, Jackson, and the BPP, however, should stop trying to use the incident to increase their own visibility and should simply let the legal system run its course. And besides, aren’t these the same people who hate it when the public automatically convicts their favorites without a trial? I just read that Spike Lee tweeted Zimmerman’s home address, and the BPP just put a bounty on him. Yep, these are your “fair share”, “we care about everbody and we’re all about love” liberals, people. Bless ‘em.

Reuters: “Three Occupy Oakland protesters charged with hate crimes”

The Occulosers strike again. Turn a blind eye and offer unconditional support for this bowel movement once again, you “Fair Share” Liberals!

Documentary: “The One Percent” by Jamie Johnson

I was hoping for a good documentary here. It started off well: Jamie Johnson, one of the heirs to the Johnson and Johnson empire, discovered that his father in his youth made a documentary on poverty in Africa, yet his father was quiet about it. For a number of reasons, Jamie wondered why.

He starts to explore that question, and brings up a subject matter that I was previously unfamiliar with – the sugar “cartel” in Florida and how it was a totally rigged game and pretty much a f@scist sham from the start.

Where does Jamie Johnson go from there, however? In my opinion, nowhere.

Here’s a “Trustafarian” (as his father calls him), who’s had nothing but a silver spoon in his mouth from day one biting the hand that feeds yet refusing to let go of the silver spoon.

If he’s so passionate about his subject, where’s his detachment from the family money? At least in the documentary, it doesn’t exist. According to Wikipedia, when he was interviewed about the film he was asked this same thing, and Jamie Johnson simply dodged it with, “We’re not here to talk about that.”

My assessment? He’s a spoiled, lazy little rich kid who’s simply trying to gain attention and bite the hand that feeds in order to assert himself and try to feel significant. In fact, he was so lazy he even chose the easiest way to way to do it – pick up a camera and invade peoples’ privacy trying to play “gotcha”. On top of “spoiled”, I think he’s also a whiner, a freeloader, and a hypocrite.

Don’t see this movie – it’s a waste of time. “Born Rich” is a much better movie about why I think many trust fund babies need their heads slapped and asses kicked.

Planned Occupy Protest at Congress Fizzles

Hahahaha. Hahahahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Occupussies. They make me laugh.

Said one protester (of the two?) “We need to stay focused on our message of shortening the gap between the rich and the poor.”
Ok. Did that “message” include a plan, per chance?
Didn’t think so, so shiver away, losers.

More Annoying “Race Card Rhetoric” From Dems

It’s a simple rule: if you live in this country legally, you have identification proving as much starting with a passport, continuing with a driver’s license, bank card, utility bill, etc. etc. etc.

Here’s another simple rule: one person, one vote. Assuming rule #1 is followed, this rule should be easy to enforce, yet for some reason Democrats want to equate voter eligibility and the prevention of voter fraud with racism.

Enter good ol’ Barbara Lee from (shocker) California:

“It’s no coincidence that a disproportionate number of these affected voters come from communities of color as well as the poor, the elderly and students.”

Oh, so I get it. Because these people are too lazy, or are too illegal to go get a passport, anyone requiring them to prove their identity must be a “racist”.

There are so many things about Lee’s statement and her position that are ridiculous and frustrate me, but let me zero in on two:

1) The fact that Lee makes such absurd race-baiting statements in the first place,
2) The fact that she does so knowing that there’s still an idiot, race-baiting population that will hear her and agree with her.

The reason racism is still an issue in this country is because people like Lee continue to make it one.

If voting matters enough to people, having proper identification to do it shouldn’t be a problem. Race has ZERO to do with it.

Occupy LA: Charity Through Thuggery

Reading in the L.A. Times this morning how “Occupy LA receives offer to decamp“. Apparently they’re being offered 10,000 sq ft of office space as well as farmland if they decamp City Hall.

What’s the world coming to? Why are we giving in to thugs? Certainly there are charities that are far more worthwhile, focused, and less violent than these bozos. These charities would surely be far more in need of space to operate and far more deserving of it, yet once again we have the situation of the spoiled teenager using a parent’s compassion for them as a weapon to effectively steal, and government in their weakness and uselessness is caving in. Thuggery over charity. Wow. Check out the additional articles on the left side of the article, particularly Occupy’s Freeloading Freedom Fighters“. (So much for “freedom”, by the way – these protestors are showing just how bad they want to live off the government teet and have no freedom at all, except just to breathe and sing kumbuya and play bongos whenever they want to.)

What I find most amusing about this is a comment by one of the protestors:

‘”I don’t appreciate people appointing themselves to represent me, to represent us,” one woman called out during the assembly.’

Haha! Really?! That’s like Jehovah’s Witnesses hating Halloween because they hate all the annoying strangers coming by dressed up all funny and knocking on their doors. Such hypocrites they are, and by the way, “Hey Occupy, who appointed you to represent the other 98%?” The answer is “No one” – you just felt entitled to and now you feel entitled to free office space and farmland paid for by us, the 53%.

A$$holes.

Let’s All Get Out There And Support “Hot Dog” and “Ketchup” with OWS – NOT!

And people wonder why I can’t get behind this movement? Look at this ridiculousness. Twinkle fingers? Seriously?!?!?!?!

I know Colbert’s playing both side of the issue, but my hat’s off to him in this case for making something that’s already much of a joke even funnier. Check it out…

Why I Think Herman Cain is Lying About the Harassment

Initially, I was giving benefit of the doubt to Cain regarding these accusations, but a reporter seeing Sharon Bialek talking to Cain a mere month or so ago at a Tea Party event makes me believe Cain is flat out lying.

Cain says he didn’t recall her name. Perhaps, but not to recognize her face after he saw Bialek’s press conference? I call bullshit. And then to follow that up in his own press conference by saying he “always remembers people”? It’s a total contradiction which makes me belief his response is a strategic manufacturing of a lie, and not the truth. Even if Bialek is lying about the harassment, or the extent of it, the honest move for Cain would have been admit that he does know of Bialek and that still nothing happened, but instead he takes the approach of someone trying to play coverup. Why?

By saying he didn’t remember her, I think Cain’s been caught in a lie which to me, totally affects his trustworthiness not only regarding this issue, but every other issue he’ll face now and in the future since it’s obvious the primary concern is perception over reality.

That’s not the kind of qualities I attribute to a leader. Assuming this reporter’s remarks are true about seeing Cain and Bialek together as well as their exchange, I’ve lost any support for Cain that I may ever had.

Go Gingrich and Huntsman (my underdog favorites).

OWS – The Last Refuge of the Luddite?

With the belief that we get what we focus on, I’ve often argued that the bulk of politicians and the middle class have the wrong perspective on jobs. “Jobs” is always stated as the end and never the means, and I disagree.

I believe the end goal of an individual in our society shouldn’t be a job, but rather productivity. It should be about what someone can actually do for a paycheck, not just if they get one.

Productivity used to be about “brawn”, but it has shifted more to “brain” over the last quarter-century, and those in the workforce who haven’t adapted to this have been left behind. This is what I believe is the biggest reason for income disparity in the country today – many have simply not adapted to having the “brains” necessary to compete and get ahead in Western society.

These “brains”, however, may no longer be enough for the next quarter-century, as this article in The Economist this morning explains:

“The evidence is irrefutable that computerised automation, networks and artificial intelligence (AI)—including machine-learning, language-translation, and speech- and pattern-recognition software—are beginning to render many jobs simply obsolete.”

Thank evolution, people. Now here’s the million dollar question – does someone see this as an opportunity, or as a threat? For me, I see it as an opportunity – a look to the future that shows where and what the jobs will be. Personally, I’m thankful for the heads up.

Can I make it there to capitalize on this shift? Sure I can. Our country still provides the means to capitalize on any future no matter what ones’ current life conditions are. This is a clear, proven fact that OWS fails to acknowledge but then again, those with a victim mentality always do. Their worldview makes them believe that AI will be taking their job “away”, that this is somehow unfair. How is it unfair when we’ve got a brain to see these changes coming? My belief is that in nature things always die off. Therefore no one has taken my job “away”, my skills have simply outlived their usefulness. They have a shelf-life just like anything does. Not so hard to agree to, is it?

Perhaps their argument then is that even if we see these changes coming and acknowledge that things die off, the game is so rigged that we can’t adapt or capitalize on them to stay ahead. I’m not buying that one, either.

Do I think the game is rigged? Sure, but not to the extent that OWS wants to believe it is. Here’s why: despite government, despite the economy, despite everything, there are still more millionaires being created out of the middle and lower class now than ever before. If the game were truly so rigged, this simply would not be happening.

They can achieve this because the lower class and middle class still have choices and means to achieve a place in the upper class. Whether they have as many choices or as much means as they used to is debatable, but nevertheless the choices and means still exist and there’s not anyone who doesn’t have access to them.

Put more simply, from the perspective of a “job” anyone in America of sound body and mind has the ability to adapt and grow to either get a job or create one, and avoid their obsolescence or demise. It simply is a matter of choice – just ask anyone poor who has done it.

And to those who might say I’m up on some elitist perch somewhere, you’re wrong – I’m down in the trenches. I work in the consulting industry. Wikipedia made much of my job obsolete – information that my industry used to charge a lot of money for is now free. AI will make it even more obsolete in the very near future.

I have a choice: I can either choose to try and hold on to the way things used to be because of pride and the feelings of familiarity and safety as well, or I can “humble up” and “wise up” and realize that I need to change if I want to survive – even if that means me changing careers, losing everything, and starting completely over.

What I love about this country, and why I fundamentally disagree with OWS, is because in spite of everything it still presents the best opportunity for me to adapt, grow, and succeed more than any other country on the planet provides me. Not only does it give me the most options and the most opportunity, but it also gives me the greatest ability to choose from both. Even the country I come from – Canada – for all its similarities, does not have this to anywhere near the same degree. It to me is what truly makes America great.

With populations growing and the world changing, the laws of nature alone should make anyone realize that the safety nets we once had will soon be gone. If one wants to stash their brain for the ride to the bottom then the OWS “victim” mindset is the way to do it. If they want to cry about it, there’s always Zucotti Park.

With the way everything’s changing, OWS and Zucotti may in fact be the last refuge these SPATs or anyone who refuses to adapt will have.
