Ann Coulter: Occupy Wall Street (Hearts) Wall Street

Ann Coulter    "If the Flea Party were really concerned about the greedy "Wall Street 1 Percent," shifting money around to make themselves richer and everyone else poorer, their No. 1 target should be George Soros​.
"Of course, we don't know exactly how much money Soros has, since he keeps all his money in offshore bank accounts.
"We do know that Soros has been convicted of insider trading. And we know that his general modus operandi is to run around the world panicking sovereign nations, so he can pocket the difference when their currencies collapse.
"But the Occupy Wall Street protesters love Soros! It's Fox News they hate."

Occupiers, be careful of what you wish for!

Brainless infants who know about as much about free enterprise and capitalism as their celebrity president.

That prisoner swap in Israel; names of some released

GlobalSecurity.org:  Israeli Soldier, 477 Palestinians Freed in Prisoner Swap  "Under the deal, Israel is to release an additional 550 Palestinian prisoners within two months. An estimated 6,000 Palestinians remain in Israeli jails. Hamas leaders have vowed to see them all released.
"The deal was controversial. Families of some of the Israeli victims of Palestinian attacks were angry to see the attackers go free. Other Israelis feared the prisoner release would lead to an increase in violence.
"Palestinians were upset that some of their most prominent figures in Israeli custody were excluded from the deal."  Spread some of this on your flower beds.  And this.


Claudia Rosett: The Moral Vertigo of Ban Ki-Moon  "In Gaza and the West Bank, preparations have been underway to welcome these terrorists as heroes, and celebrate their release. That’s horrifying, but no surprise. These are places where people danced in the streets and gave out candy to celebrate the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S. The leaders of both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have done well for themselves over the years by pursuing perpetual conflict and indoctrinating the people living under them in the ways of terror and hatred."
"But why does the secretary-general of the United Nations have to hop on this blood-soaked bandwagon?"
....
 "An obvious question follows. When the next terrorist hit on Israel takes place, will Ban’s speech-writers describe him as “disappointed,” or “concerned,” or maybe even “deeply concerned”? "

Names of prisoners in Shalit deal trickle through Arab media  "Hamas-affiliated websites, Arab media post partial lists of Palestinian prisoners included in prisoner exchange deal. List includes terrorists involved it attacks which claimed dozens of Israeli lives."
Western leftists will begin food and medical shipments to the families of the terrorists and murderers in three...two,,,one... 

Al Jazeera publishes the list of the first prisoners to be released. Two listed here: 

Abd al-Hadi Rafa Ghanim...16 life sentences
Khamis Zaki Abd al-Hadi Aqel...21 life sentences

How many innocent victims translate into this many life sentences?

The GOP debate

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire: Reaction to the GOP Debate  "The fifth Republican presidential debate since Labor Day -- and by far the most entertaining -- had the same winner as the previous four. Mitt Romney is the only person on the stage who understands -- or can at least speak clearly on -- the full breadth of issues that face the president. Romney took heavy fire from nearly everyone, but his rivals usually did more harm to themselves.
"The biggest story of the debate was the puncturing of the Herman Cain bubble."....

Romneycare comes under fire
"Romneycare comes under fire byPhilip Klein Senior Editorial WriterFollow on Twitter:@PhilipAKleinFor the first time of the debate season, Mitt Romney came under sustained fire from his opponents for the health care law he signed in Massachusetts.
"Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum kicked things off by emphasizing that like Obamacare, Romney's plan attempted to expand coverage, but didn't do anything to control skyrocketing health care costs"

APB put out for Obama's teleprompter

Rick Moran   "White House aides considered canceling several events, worried that the lack of a teleprompter would make the president more incoherent than usual. But Obama bravely insisted that "the show must go on" and would ad lib if necessary. Panicked advisors talked about rigging a "Fail Safe" switch so that they could turn the sound off on the president's mike if, as expected, Obama began to stutter and stammer while losing his place. It is unknown if they were able to install the switch prior to the president's appearance."

Our Idiot Brother: The Tea Party’s Relationship to Occupy Wall Street

Walter Hudson  How does one start from the same basic objection and reach the polar opposite prescription? The answer is a lack of maturity

"Occupiers see themselves as other-than-rich. Such is the sentiment underlying “I am the 99%.” When they talk about taxing the wealthy to provide for the people, the “wealthy” is some other guy and the “people” are them. However, in practice, socialism cannot function by eating just the rich. It eats anybody who earns anything until nothing is left." 
Walter Hudson is a political commentator and chair of Minnesota's North Star Tea Party Patriots, a statewide educational organization. He runs a blog entitled Fightin Words. He also contributes to True North, a hub of conservative Minnesotan commentary.

Are You Smarter Than a Wall Street Occupier?  "Over the past month, the crusaders at Zuccotti Park have braved the elements, tussled with police, and stood their ground against Mayor Bloomberg. But how much do the protesters actually know about the economic system that they're fighting to change? To find out, we asked 50 occupiers a series of questions about Wall Street, taxes, and government. The results were mixed. See if you can do better. " Language advisory; consider the sources.

Woman Raped in Tent at “Occupy” Protest In Cleveland

USBACKLASH.ORG  "Obama and the Democrats have aligned themselves with a great group of people, haven’t they?
"We have seen and read reports of violence, drug abuse, prostitution, anti-Capitalism, anti-Americanism, with people singing “F--k the USA”, and now even the rape of a 19-year-old female college student.
"Democrats have been courting the “Occupy” protesters to give the Obama administration the smallest glimmer of hope for the election in 2012, but the Democrats have been on the wrong side of most of the important issues and events in our nation’s history, like slavery, for an example, which the Democrats fought a war to protect, and assassinated president Lincoln after he freed the slaves. This is just one more example of how completely out-of-touch Obama and the Democrats really are."

Astroturf: “Occupy Wall Street” Riot Protesters PAID to Cause Problems   "We also are learning that the real people behind the anti-capitalism riots are the labor unions, George Soros, the Obama administration, and other anti-American jackasses.
"When stinky hippie protesters carry signs that read “Capitalism Is Organized Crime”, and all of the brainless losers around them agree, there is no more hiding from the truth!"

Ever wonder where those fancy, professionally printed posters and protest signs come from?  Of course, the signs are equal-opportunity choices.

Mother Jones tells us: How Occupy Wall Street Really Got Started

motherjones.com  "Months before the first occupiers descended on Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, before the news trucks arrived and the unions endorsed, before Michael Bloomberg and Michael Moore and Kanye West made appearances, a group of artists, activists, writers, students, and organizers gathered on the fourth floor of 16 Beaver Street, an artists' space near Wall Street, to talk about changing the world. There were New Yorkers in the room, but also Egyptians, Spaniards, Japanese, Greeks. Some had played a part in the Arab Spring uprising; others had been involved in the protests catching fire across Europe. But no one at 16 Beaver knew they were about light the fuse on a protest movement that would sweep the United States and fuel similar uprisings around the world."

TD is not in the top one percent. I am not even Joe the Plumber; I would have hoped to work for Joe the Plumber if his business was thriving enough for him to hire me. Often in my construction past have I seen government policies affect our chances of finding work. Mostly we hoped the government would leave us all alone so businesses would prosper and we would as well. Never did my wife and I wish that government would take from business and give it to us with no sweat on our part. We have no kinship with those protestors who seek something for nothing.

Obama’s Rising Bitterness

Commentary Magazine  "None of this seems to have bothered Fox News in the least; in fact, they have probably benefited from being on Obama’s enemies list, just as some of Nixon’s targets did. But the president’s hatred for elements of the press is a useful insight into his cast of mind. He is a man of growing grievances, of resentments he cannot contain. And so from time to time they spill out into his public statements. One can only imagine what is said in private as Obama – in his own cool, controlled way – rages against the many injustices he believes have befallen him."

Voters Don’t Blame Wall Street for Economy

Commentary Magazine  "The [Occupy Wall Street] movement appears to have struck a chord with progressive voters, but it does not seem to represent the feelings of the wider public.
"The Hill poll found that only one in three likely voters blames Wall Street for the country’s financial troubles, whereas more than half — 56 percent — blame Washington."

Updated: Bereaved Mom Seeks To Prevent Terrorists From Leaving Israel

Yeshiva World News  "Such a ban would prohibit the government from permitting the three to leave in line with the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal. The family’s attorney feels that their request is not outside the legal norms in Israel, and if the court rejects it, they feel it will signal the “political nature” of such a decision."

High Court To Rule On Petitions To Block Shalit Deal"Along with the state, responding in defense of the deal was Noam Shalit, Gilad’s father, who was told by some of the pained bereaved petitioners to “place a black flag on your home” for today is a sad day, one of mourning for the people of Israel.
"Mr. Shalit remained silent, opting not to respond, perhaps too emotionally charged to respond to such harsh words."

(Update) Butcher of Ramallah soon to be free  "As part of the deal to free Gilad Shalit, the butcher of Ramallah who participated in the disemboweling and mutilation of two Israeli soldiers who took a wrong turn on a road in the West Bank in October 2000 at the start of the 1st Intifada, will be set free:" ...Legal Insurrection
He will be welcomed as a hero and the western liberals will be pleased. Just not with Israel.
