Hmmm… Well I guess I really don’t need to say much, this video says it all. It’s the truth and it’s the public record. What more can I say?

New occupy chant should be ‘Pelosi! Is! The 0.99%!’
From Daily Caller
Here’s yet another sign, if you need one, that Occupy has outlived its political usefulness. Via the Washington Free Beacon (welcome, by the way!):
Politico Influence reports that House minority leader Nancy Pelosi and minority whip Steny Hoyer raised $400,000 last night at a fundraiser held at the home of Democratic lobbyists Heather and Tony Podesta. Heather Podesta runs the firm Heather Podesta and Partners.
Heather Podesta’s clients include liberal bogeymen such as the for-profit education industry and Brookfield Asset Management, the real-estate company that owns Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan and which ultimately gave the NYPD the green light to evict the Occupy Wall Street movement from its grounds in November 2011. Pelosi is a vocal supporter of the occupiers, having once said, “God bless them.”
Well, maybe she figures if God blesses them, she doesn’t have to. And what are they gonna do, rape each other in front of the Capitol Building in protest? The important thing is that Nancy got that cash. Money is bad unless it’s in the hands of Democrats.
Occupy gets a PAC
From CBS
Last week, John Paul Thornton of Decatur, Ala. filed to create a PAC for the Occupy Movement. “PAC” is an acronym for a political action committee, or an organization that campaigns for or against candidates, legislation, and ballot initiatives.
Thornton is an active member in the Alabama Occupy movement. He said he came up with the idea when he was laying in bed.
“[I was] watching [The Colbert Report] and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t be nice if Occupy had a PAC,’ and … like a lightbulb, it came to me!” he told CBS Atlanta.
The money that will be raised can be used by Occupy as a whole, from branches in Huntsville, Ala. to ones in New York City or Oakland, Calif.
Robert Redford claims Sundance (the corporate sponsored playground for celebrities) is for the ’99 percent’
From Fox News
Attention, One Percenters! You can go home now. The Sundance Film Festival is not … repeat NOT … for you. (Except of course our corporate sponsors and super rich celebrity guests. You can stay. As a matter of fact, we’d be lost without you!)
That’s the mixed message the was being sent as Robert Redford opened the 34th annual Sundance Film Festival with a populist pitch on Thursday, slamming the government for failing its citizens and talking about how Sundance exists for the forgotten “99 percent.”
Tax cheat Willie rails on the 1%
From News Busters:
Count millionaire country singer and tax cheat Willie Nelson among the growing list of extremely wealthy entertainers supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Where better to make his feelings known than at the perilously liberal Huffington Post Saturday:
Thanks to the Occupy Wall Street movement, there’s a deeper understanding about the power that corporations wield over the great majority of us. It’s not just in the financial sector, but in all facets of our lives. The disparity between the top 1 percent and everyone else has been laid bare — there’s no more denying that those at the top get their share at the expense of the 99 percent. Lobbyists, loopholes, tax breaks… how can ordinary folks expect a fair shake?
Irony: OWS Now in Top 1% in Income
One of the top complaints about wealth distributions holds that the vast majoirty of the people of the country are excluded from the vast majority of its wealth. Considering the “plight” of all of those 20-somethings at the various occupiers, one could be deluded into believing the truth of the 99% mantra.
But what if that wasn’t true? Considering there are many branches of the group, let’s take a look at its main one, occupying near Wall Street, in New York. Seeing how the occupiers are using other people’s food and bathrooms and some living in
A Stunning Display of Hypocrisy
The 1% who say they want their taxes to be raised to help pay down the national debt refuse to donate to the treasury.

You either believe that you should be paying more or you don’t. There is no halfway here. You just gotta love the guy who wanted the reporter to donate when he wouldn’t. I don’t think she is part of the 1%. As usual, higher taxes for thee but not for me.
At least one of them says he doesn’t take all the deductions he is allowed. Kudos to him. Him
The Circlular Logic of Al Sharpton
Anytime I hear Al Sharpton speak I always end up asking my self the same question, does he ever stop and think before he opens his mouth? The answer I always end up with is no. Case in point is Al’s reaction to the GOP liking themselves some Herman Cain.
Cain is rising in the polls for the GOP nomination for president and that is something that is making the liberal heads explode. After all the GOP are racists, they can’t possibly like a black man. But wait, maybe he is one of the traitorous
Remember when every Democrat Senator, including Obama voted against raising the debt limit?
You don’t remember that? It was March 16th, 2006 at 11:17 AM Eastern. Here, look at the roll call from senate.gov:
There is another way of looking at this too. If you’re a leftist, you no doubt will say, “All the Republicans voted for an increase in 2006. What happened?” That would be a very valid point. Is everybody as sick of putting party first, country second, politics as usual as I am?
