OWS, just like the Tea party, only with Nazi's, communists, anti-semites and... Well, maybe nothing like the Tea Party after all.

You are probably aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement that has been spreading across the country and around the globe.  It has become almost impossible to even turn on a TV without seeing coverage of these protests.  
The media began comparing the movement to the tea party movement early on and they are still continuing to try and make that comparison.  Other than the fact that both movements are angry about the banks being bailed out several years ago, there isn't much of a comparison.
The Tea Party movement was born out of frustration and anger over the failed policies of Washington, DC.  Those are the same policies that enabled the bailouts of the banks and auto industry.  The Occupy Wall Street movement has been born out of frustration and anger over Wall Street.  
Let's look at a few of the differences of the two movements:
Tea Party: The Tea Party movement stands on the principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets.  We believe Washington is the problem and smaller government is the answer!  Washington needs to get out of the way and let the free market system work.  Tea Party activists embrace capitalism and expect our elected representatives to rely upon the Constitution of the United States to govern our country. We are freedom loving Americans that are respectful, patriotic and violence free.
Occupy Wall Street: The protestors of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) believe that we need more government. They believe we need more government programs and regulations.  They want social and economic "justice" for all in this country.  OWS believes that Washington can spend our money better than we can.  The bottom line is that they want to fundamentally change America and all that she represents.  The majority of people involved in the OWS movement are radical leftists and progressives that want socialism and/or communism.  These protestors have been violent on more than one occasion across the country.
Look at this OWS protestor attacking a police officer.
I know, it is hard to believe that this is happening right here in America, but it is a reality. Just last weekend, the OWS movement received the endorsements of the American Nazi Party and the Communist Party.
Watch this short video of the Communist Party participating at the OWS protest in Chicago.
Recently, pollster Douglas Schoen polled protestors in Zucotti Park and his findings indicated that almost a third of the protestors in the Occupy Wall Street, had no problem using violence to advance their agenda.  The Wall Street Journal published an article giving more details about this poll.
These “occupiers” are a well organized group of individuals. They are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the cause and amassing an enormous amount of food and supplies from donations.  Earlier this week it was reported that they have raised almost $300,000 for their effort.
We must fight back and stand strong for our cause of protecting liberty and freedom. We cannot just sit by and let these radical leftists fundamentally change this country that we all love so much.

Biden Shoves Foot in Mouth, Again

Americans could have taken little comfort when the man a heartbeat away from the nation's nuclear launch codes predicted, in another context, "If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong." This week, however, Vice-President Joe Biden increased his probability of error to 100 percent, making and repeating statements indicating that he's just about the only elected official in America that doesn't know that violent crime has been declining for the last 20 years.
Perennially casting himself as the nation's leading empathizer with the working class, the gaffe-prone Veep often talks about the importance of jobs, which he once described as a three-letter word. So, it was no surprise when he returned to the subject of jobs again this week. But even the leftist Huffington Post didn't give a friend a pass when Biden warned on Tuesday that if Congress doesn't pass the new "jobs bill" favored by President Barack Obama, violent crime would "continue to rise."
The next day, questioned about the claim by a reporter, Biden indignantly defended his position, saying, "Don't screw around with me. Let's get it straight. . . . Go look at the numbers. Murder's up, rape is up, and burglary's up. [And if the Republicans don't pass the Obama "jobs bill,"] murder will continue to rise. Rape will continue to rise. All crimes will continue to rise."
Instead of making stuff up, Biden should have resorted to plagiarism, as he's been accused of before. If he had done so, he could have gotten his crime numbers straight by copying them from the FBI's Crime in the United States, 2010 report and its online database of crime statistics from the last half-century. As the great New York Yankee Yogi Berra once said, "You can observe a lot just by watching."
According to the FBI, the nation's murder, rape and burglary rates decreased five, six and two percent, respectively, between 2009 and 2010; have decreased 14, 14 and four percent, respectively, over the last decade; and have decreased 51, 35 and 44 percent, respectively, over the last 20 years. Today, murder, rape and burglary are at 46-year, 33-year and 44-year lows, respectively. Total violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, is at a 37-year low. Total property crime, which includes, burglary, larceny theft and motor vehicle theft, is at a 42-year low.
Meanwhile, from another source of information more reliable than Biden, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the nation's unemployment rate is still 9.1 percent. If the nation's jobless numbers were declining like crime has been, it would be cause for a celebration like none other in many years.

How to fix congress...

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he(Warren Buffett) told CNBC. "You just  pass a  law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more  than 3% of  GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. 
 
No  Tenure / No Pension.  A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
 
Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.  All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
 
Congress can purchase their own retirement plan,  just as all Americans do.
 
Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
 
Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
 
Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
 
All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. 
 
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

Obama spends worse than a drunken sailor.
