Is Obama's canoodling with Wall Street reason enough for Democrats to have their own tea parties?

Simply follow the socialist / marxist yellow brick road to the abyss of extinction! SAUL ALINSKI'S RULES FOR RADICALS IS ALIVE AND WELL IN 'OCCUPY WALL STREET' PROTESTS 10-05-2011 ....The hippie horde attempting to mob and "occupy" Wall Street this week has a method to its madness. It's all about getting President Obama re-elected by employing classic Alinskyite tactics.

At first glance, the latest protests staged by left-wing rent-a-mobs in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and elsewhere don't look terribly different from the World Trade Organization and global debt-amnesty spectaculars of a decade ago. Radicals swarm against some hated totem, chant, break a few Starbucks windows and leave scads of garbage for someone else to clean up. But the "Occupy Wall Street" mob that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge last weekend and drew 700 arrests bears all the earmarks of a professional political machine effort to keep Obama in the White House.

This time, banks were the target, as mobs bore down on Wall Street and posted demands on their Twitter feed to tax and arrest bankers. They knew a soft spot when they saw one. Polls show the public continues to blame banks instead of administration policies for the economic downturn and widespread joblessness.

Singling out banks is a tactic torn right from the playbook of Obama's political mentor, Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky. "The goal," wrote David Horowitz's DiscoverTheNetworks.com of Alinsky, "is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and unworthy of salvation." "The key to radical social change," wrote Stanley Kurtz in his Alinsky biography "Radical-in-Chief," "was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations." To some, it may be a stretch to see the hand of the Obama political machine in what is claimed to be a grass-roots effort.

But the facts on the ground point to it. For one thing, the organizers of these protests are the same ones who got Obama elected in 2008. Last Aug. 11, former Obama "green czar" and community organizer Van Jones sent out an email to supporters calling for a new plan to "Rebuild the Dream."

It called for infrastructure jobs to "rebuild our crumbling bridges" — exactly the line Obama presented in subsequent speeches. In the same email, Jones — a self-described communist — called for jailing big bankers and instituting a "tiny fee" to siphon billions from bank transactions "to spend on Main Street job-creation," which are also things Obama favors. Jones sent his series of screeds using MoveOn.org's server and database.

MoveOn.org was the earliest high-visibility support network for Obama during his election in 2008 and is now heavily involved in the Occupy Wall Street actions. Coincidence?

And PLEASE do not give me that old cliche about how America is the land of opportunity; only for the likes of Halliburton/Bush. Look who at who owns the big corporations, especially who owns the oil and perhaps you will get a better understanding of who is rich. Powerful, influential and CORRUPT in U.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
