News outlets,correspondents,entire networks,and news anchors continue to push the notion that the OCCUPY WALL STREET protests are the liberals answer to the Tea Party.Many are even saying are operate in the same fashion.Is that really the case?
First, the Tea Party was a grassroots movement against the government taking over more of our society,the unending spending,the class warfare,the insatiable desire for more taxes and fees,and the countless regulations being implemented every day,which destroys the greatest economic structure the world has ever known.The people,for the most part, at OCCUPY WALL STREET [OWS], are calling for the destruction of capitalism,increased government intervention,cradle to grave charity.They don't seem to understand that if our capitalist system is destroyed,the Government will run out of money and resources to take care of all their wants and needs.
Second, the Tea Party gatherings around the country were law abiding,respectful of contrarian beliefs,clean,and organized in a way that respected the property that they were using.The OWS crowd have been rude,down right unclean,don't respect local businesses,relieving themselves on the ground in public,taking over businesses bathrooms,stealing toilet paper,and having sex in plain sight.
We have been told for years,even decades, that the left,Democrats and Liberals were the only people who cared about the planet of being free from littering and abusing our environment.This has proved to be false many times over.Take for example, the 9-12 gathering in D.C. in September,2009,with at least 400,000 people,was left spotless. Compare that to the Obama Inauguration,the One Nation Rally,and the Jon Stewart Rally in D.C. One of the D.C. staff told the 9-12 people that the park was left the cleanest he had ever seen.Also,it has been reported that so far New York City has paid 3.2 million in overtime to police and other departments.These extras weren't necessary for the Tea Party rallies.
Third, the people protesting for the most part,can't tell reporters what it exactly is that they are protesting. The Tea Party had a few things on the agenda,which was less Government ,lower taxes, no more bailouts,and follow the Constitution. At least some of the OWS crowd has expressed their dissatisfaction with all of the bailouts.
Media Research Center interviewed some of the OWS protesters asking them what they thought of the Frank-Dodd bill.To a man, no one knew that it was the financial reform bill passed earlier,putting many regulations on our banks.Thus ,they are protesting Wall Street without knowing anything about the new regulations put on the very people they are protesting.
Fourth, we have media pundits ,such as MSNBC's Donny Deutsch,saying on the tube that what we need is something like Kent State in which 4 people were killed.What a statement!!Hows that civility that Obama called for after the shooting in Arizona working out .Haven't heard form the President or any Democrats whether or not this crossed the civility line or not.Don't look for it either.
As hard as the main stream media is trying to make these Occupy protesters like the Tea Party, the only people who will fall for that are the far left,lots of Democratic politicians, and the Woodstock like people who agree with the protesters.
Fifth, any money they are getting is coming from our Capitalistic economy,yet they accept it without resistance.They all have their I-Phones,I-Pads,I-pods, and laptop computers,all gadgets they would be without if it weren't for our free market system.I imagine some of them left their protest area to stand in line for the Apple 4GS I-Phone this morning.
Sixth,I'm sure many of them are college students.So, maybe they should take their concerns to the very universities they attend,as most ,if not all,have big endowment funds that are earning big returns from wall street investments, all the same time raising their tuition fess every year.Just saying!
As bad as the Liberal media wants to make this protest the same as the Tea Party,it will never fly with the majority of the people.This country is more conservative than Liberal, and unlike most Liberals ,the Conservatives are well informed and not ignorant of the facts.
