Well, being one of the first of the Occupy sites to go “all riot” back in November where Occupy Oakland participants decided that they had the right to trash other peoples’s real property in protesting the 1%. Certainly, the Occupy Wall Street has been, ahem, much more ‘active’ in the streets with the police by their side (as Steve pointed out here) and have a number of fellow travelers and supporters in protesting and agitating for that which belongs to others. Yet, with all of their ideas of yet another form of Utopia (don’t they know they shouldn’t be competing with The One?).
Well, over the weekend, they went and did it again – not exactly a peaceful rally, like TEA Party events. Sure, both movements want a better United States, but their end games could not be more further apart. For all their kvetching of wanting a better United States, it seems like the actual OWS truth is a bit different than the rhetoric. For instance, as Oakland Occupiers decided to trash the City Hall and try to take over the Kaiser auditorium (while getting about 400 of their BFFs arrested), they also decided to make a spectacle of burning an American flag:
And I’m not sure that any TEA Party event would ever start with a Pledge (as most do start with a Pledge), with words like those. If you missed them in the video, here they are (emphasis mine):
“I pledge allegiance to a flag of the imperialistic, capitalistic dictatorship. And to the plutocracy for which it stands, privately owned central bank, under the Jews. With inequality and injustice for the 99.” (h/t Moonbat Tracker)
Nope, not happening at any TEA Party here in NH. Especially the Jew-hating part. And I thought, being a Lefty leaning movement, they’d be a tad more Politically Correct (and frankly, a bit nicer). I guess the OWS movement there is a much worse incarnation than that here in NH.
