OCCUPY WALL STREET FOR DUMMIES

“In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.” —Larry Niven

How does one become an Occupy Wall Street Protestor? A quest for understanding in a somewhat complicated topic. Why? Because there are some who seem to demonstrate a modicum of intelligence and articulate usage of the language when the camera is rolling. And, there are some who dress reasonably normal (normal meaning, no obvious hygiene challenges, maintaining a groomed appearance). Those folks are in the vast minority. And certainly it would not be an accurate statement to say these slackers are all “youth generational.” The camera has caught some old enough to be peers of my parents.

But the task at hand is an immediate one. How do I blend in? How do I become an OWS protestor. I suppose I should start with something superficial. Ah yes! you say, “Things aren’t always as they appear.” and how right one might be to make such a characterization. But any good leftist will tell you, honesty is a relative term. “Your views are your views.” Kind of akin to calling people racists because they don’t like Obama… Yet, when it is pointed out that these same “racists” like Herman Cain, the argument shifts to, “you only like him because he gives your racism cover.” Rank dishonesty is the domain of the left. And outward appearance is what we first see from our friends in the lame stream media.

As a segue into my OWS protestor journey, I neither shave nor shower for an extended period of time. (if I wish to wholly embrace this slacker look, I don’t brush my teeth, either..If a casual observer spies a chive stuck in my teeth when I smile, I have arrived) It is important to engender that, “rail against the establishment” appearance. Smelling ones’ own smell, is sufficient validation one has achieved parity with the OWS appearance.

John Lynch Vetoes Are A Political Shell Game

“He is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation…” –Adlai Stevenson

Governor Lynch’s vetoes show him for who he really is: A big government, big spending, social liberal. And not an honest one either. His vetoes of these bills clearly prove that.

Lynch’s veto of HB109 is a slap to working families all across this state. In a time when home values are on a downward spiral and fewer working families can afford to purchase a home, the Governor paves the way for local bureaucrats to impose a costly regulation on working families. “I believe that the decision of whether or not to require fire sprinklers for new or renovated residential development should remain a local one.” This is class warfare by another flair.

How does Lynch assert sensitivity to a working families’ pursuit of purchasing a home by effectively shoving that cost further out of their financial reach? How does Lynch reconcile his class warfare by proxy by putting a regulation in place that clearly and effectively will exclude working families from obtaining a home? His veto effectively and potentially removes some affordable housing from the market. I personally know of several fire chiefs around the state who have been pushing and lobbying for local ordinances requiring sprinkler systems.

Governor Lynch’s veto of HB 218 is demonstrative of the larger mentality that the interests of a few friends should be served so that at some point for rail expansion, the rail authority can pick the pockets of New Hampshire taxpayers. Lynch grossly misrepresents the intent of the bill, implying that its sponsors are anti-rail. Fact is, proponents of rebuilding the rail infrastructure sought to maintain the option of receiving taxpayer funded subsidies and Lynch was more than willing to oblige.

Finally, Lynch’s veto of HB 329, commonly referred to as “Parental Notification,” shows him to be the consummate dishonest politician he truly is. When he did not support the Granite State’s original parental notification law, he did so under the pretext of its lack of a medical exception.

A Glass of Kool-Aid With Jackie Cilley

“In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. –George Orwell“

Former State Senator Jackie Cilley waxed in awe(Union Leader – “Another View”) when President Obama addressed the nation late Sunday Night to tell us Bin Laden was dead. Cilley writes, “This is the essence of leadership and courage, lest we forget what it looks like. It also sharply contrasts this man and the current crop of contenders for his job.” Little more than a disquisition of gushery, Cilley suggests Obama is the essence of leadership and the Republican candidates are a bunch of pedestrian neddle-nosed light-weights.

And while Jackie made quick work of diving into the all-too-typical topically boring, class-warfare laden template of caricaturing GOP hopefuls as money-grubbing wind bags, she rounds out her observations with a slaps at all things antithetical to rank liberalism. Rounding out her diatribe with some “Blame Bush” doctrinal morsels, as a true partisan will do, Jackie seems to be suggesting that Democrat campaign money comes from hard working folks and not the like of Move-on, George Soros or any of the other Kool-Aid drinking commie-libs. Oh No, that never happens, Does it, Jackie?

Yet, while taking some partisan shots at, “The Donald,” RINO Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachman and Tim Pawlenty, Jackie suffers from selective and acute amnesia failing to remember her own darling community organizer’s light-weight bumblings. Remember when Obama told voters in Beaverton Oregon about his visits to “57 States.” And, while addressing voters in Pennsylvania, he quipped, “It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations…”

My all time favorite is the National Prayer Breakfast bumble February of last year, where he repeatedly mispronounced, Navy Corpsman (Cor-man) not just once, but four times saying, “Corpse-man”.

Finally, this knee-slapper: “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”

So when Jackie finally finishes throwing mud at the Tea Party, the Birthers, Republicans and Bush, she extols the virtues of Obama with, “Every element of the mission that brought down bin Laden speaks to the character of the man who bore the ultimate responsibility for its failure if not its success…” Now that, is just plain-old Sheep manure.
