Bruins goalie skips Obama event, blasts GOP, Dems for violating freedom

Stanley Cup-winning goalkeeper Tim Thomas caused a stir Monday evening when he refused to join his Boston Bruins teammates at a White House event honoring the champions.

In a statement on his Facebook page Thomas blasted both the Republican and Democrat parties for violating individual liberty, writing:

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.  

“This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.

“Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL. 

“This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT”

Thomas, who wears a goalkeeper’s mask emblazoned with “Don’t Tread On Me” is a native of Michigan and represents the United States in the Olympics.

Predictably, the mainstream media are attacking Thomas for speaking out in defense of his fellow citizens.  You can let him know you support him on his Facebook page.

Rand Paul detained by TSA after refusing invasive body search

United States Senator Rand Paul (R-Kent.) was detained by Transportation Security Administration personnel in Nashville this morning after refusing an invasive body search following a body scan.

Paul communications director Moira Bagley tweeted around 10 a.m., ET, “Just got a call from @senrandpaul. He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.”

According to TSA personnel, they noticed an “anamoly” during a body scan of Paul as he attempted to meet his flight.  He refused an invasive body search.  After a standoff, Paul was forced to book a later flight and possibly miss 4:30 p.m. votes.

Libertarian National Campaign Committee Chairman Wayne Root wrote about the TSA in Nov. 2010, suggesting it be privatized to avoid violations of civil liberties such as Paul’s:

There are two simple solutions to this TSA mess. First and most importantly, hand airline security over to the private sector. Let airlines manage their own security, with their own private security forces. Get government out of the way. Government isn’t the solution, they are the problem.

We must put Delta, American, U.S. Air, Southwest and all the other airlines in charge of their own security — just like all other private sector companies. That puts incompetent bumbling order-takers, creeps and perverts, some of whom could be TSA agents, on the sidelines. By the way, I’m sure most TSA agents are good people. They are being placed in a bad position by government. They are forced to follow idiotic rules, or lose their jobs in the middle of a depression. If the truth be told, I actually feel sorry for many of these people placed in such a no-win situation.

Putting airline security in the hands of the airlines themselves, also ensures the usual private sector positive results. American business usually gets it right. Businesses will weigh the right amount of security versus customer privacy, civil rights, and satisfaction. And if they fail we as consumers can simply stop using that airline and choose another. The ones who get it right will succeed. The ones who don’t will fail. That’s called the power of free markets. Capitalism works. Perhaps the U.S. government should allow for it sometime.

Ferguson statement on ethics violations by Commissioner David Gallik

American Tradition Partnership Executive Director Donald Ferguson released the following statement Monday morning in response to The Great Falls Tribune report on Montana Office of Political
Practices personnel exposing unethical behavior by Commissioner David Gallik:

“As citizen-powered activists committed to holding public officials accountable, we are disturbed by the allegations of Office of Political Practices (OPP) personnel that Commissioner David Gallik has been using the office for personal benefit.

“We’ve long been concerned about the practices of OPP commissioners and other Montana officials, some of which are described in our lawsuits.

“ATP has been required to sue OPP over its efforts to limit and punish ATP for political speech protected by the First Amendment.  This latest information is just one more sign of an out-of-control agency that needs to be made accountable to the public.

“As such, we and our many grassroots supporters across Montana encourage Commissioner Gallik, Attorney General Bullock and Governor Schweitzer to cooperate with a full, fair and impartial investigation of these documented allegations of wrongdoing made by nonpartisan public servants, no matter how serious the criminal implications.”

Ferguson blasts Obama Keystone decision

Decision to kill Keystone “victory for terrorist regimes, Communist aggressors and Obama’s wealthy left-wing activist base” but “not a permanent one”

WASHINGTON – American Tradition Partnership Executive Director Donald Ferguson released the following statement Wednesday afternoon:

“Barack Obama decided long ago to side with his radical liberal base and the Gang Green billionaires who fund his campaign by killing the Keystone jobs pipeline.

He thought he could avoid responsibility by hiding his views until after the election.  Voters have a right to know where he stands on jobs and energy.  Today he showed voters where he stood – in the pocket of the multi-billion dollar Gang Green environmentalist lobby.

This decision was anything but rushed or arbitrary.  Our Canadian allies and hundreds of thousands of American workers have waited patiently for three years for a decision that could have been made long ago.  Obama simply sat on it because he didn’t want to face an pre-election choice between creating jobs to please union members, or slaughtering hundreds of thousands of jobs to please his Gang Green campaign bankrollers.  In the end, he chose campaign cash over the jobs of Americans.

There was no reason for Obama to kill the jobs pipeline, other than blind adherence to a radical liberal ideology that has already killed millions of jobs and thwarted economic renewal for nearly four years now.

Obama’s decision to kill the jobs pipeline is a punch in the teeth to the unemployed, working families and Americans who need clean, reliable and affordable energy.

At the expense of working Americans Obama just handed a victory to anti-American regimes in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.  His decision to kill the Keystone jobs pipeline makes us more dependent on foreign oil.

At the expense of working Americans Obama just handed a victory to Communist China.  With the United States pipeline killed by his hand, the oil will be sold to China. Their Communist regime will make billions that could have been paid to American workers.  Instead, Barack Obama has told Communist China to reap massive profits refining our own North American oil and selling it back to us.

But this victory for terrorist regimes, Communist aggressors and Obama’s wealthy left-wing activist base is not a permanent one.  The fight to build the Keystone jobs pipeline has just begun.
American Tradition Partnership’s large and growing grassroots army will spent 2012 engaging millions of voters, informing them of Obama’s destructive Gang Green-led policies.  Together ATP and millions of voters will change American jobs and energy policy in Congress and in the White House.  Americans deserve the good jobs and clean, affordable energy the Keystone jobs pipeline will deliver.

The Keystone pipeline will be approved by the next administration, whether it be a humbled Barack Obama or a new president.

Tomorrow morning I will leave D.C. for Southeast Texas, where much of the Keystone pipeline’s safe, clean North American energy will be delivered.  There I will begin ATP’s national effort to engage voters and change policy.

Obama slapped voters in the face today by carrying out a job-slaughtering decision he made long ago.  However, he will learn that voters will strike back even more forcefully.”

ATP does not advocate the election or defeat of candidates.  Supported by grassroots members, ATP is a fast-growing, grassroots-supported non-profit organization dedicated to fighting environmental extremism and promoting responsible development and management of land, water, and natural resources.  The citizens’ group educates the public and lobbies legislators on issues of environmental extremism and promoting responsible development and management of land, water, and natural resources.

Yet another Montana ‘Political Practices’ commissioner caught in ethics snare

“The state’s top campaign ethics officer has resigned. Helena attorney Dave Gallik stepped down from his position as the Commissioner of Political Practices effective immediately,” Missoula’s KPAX Channel 8 reports.

“Staff in his office issued a statement Wednesday saying they have concerns over what appears to be unethical conduct violations by Gallik.”

It’s the latest in a long string of ethics and legal failures by the Office of Political Practices, which has been condemned by federal courts for the “petty bureaucratic harassment” of citizens opposed to the policies and practices of Gov. Brian Schweitzer and Attorney General Steve Bullock.  ATP has long called for a reform of the corrupt agency.

‘How fracking lies triumphed.’ Clean energy ‘unjustly maligned’

Robert Bryce, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, exposes the lies of Gang Green in this guest editorial in the New York Daily News.

'Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.'

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system." - Floyd Ferris, "Atlas Shrugged"

John Stossel finds Republican-run Florida has no sense of irony.

The Florida Department of Revenue has a law on the books requiring the owners of vending machines to post a notice that said law exists, or face a $250 fine. 

That's the only thing the law requires, a notice that the owner is required by law to put up a notice he's required to post this notice.  Even if he is in compliance with all other laws and regulations, failing to post the "this notice required by law" notice required by law means a $250 fine.

Citizens who report vending machine owners who fail to post the "this notice is required" notice can get cash rewards from the government.

So why enact a completely meaningless regulation?

Spokeswoman Renee Watters tells Stossel: "A vending machine operator that does not place the notice on the machine presumably is not in compliance with the other requirements such as registration and payment of the tax."

In other words, Florida lawmakers made up a completely meaningless law just to catch peaceful citizens breaking it so they can shake them down for cash.

Magazine that lectured you on civility asks why GOP is 'so dumb?'

This is not a joke or a Photoshop job.  This is the actual cover of the next issue of Newsweek.

Not to be outdone, TIME will launch an investigative report as to whether John Boehner is a doo-doo head booger eater.

#OWS thugs break into, steal home of single, struggling dad

The Occupy Wall Street crime spree keeps growing.  Add breaking and entering, trespassing and grand larceny to the list, and the victim is a single dad who now has nowhere to live.

Yes, it's Occupy Wall Street, not banks, now coldly and cruelly throwing families into the streets.

OWS decided to stage a publicity stunt by "occupying" a "vacant home and "donating" it to a "homeless" family. 

But there are several problems with their latest crime:

1) Instead of occupying a vacant home, they targeted the home of a single dad struggling to negotiate his mortgage, knowing he was an easy target who couldn't fight back.  They broke into the house, then staged a publicity stunt where they called out the media to witness them "giving" the home to a "homeless family."

2) The "homeless family" is actually the family of a OWS activist.

3) The "homeless family" the house was supposedly given to don't live there.  They say it isn't big enough for them.  Instead, OWS broke into someone else's house just so they could keep it for themselves.

So what you have is a group of violent criminals stealing a house out from underneath a single, struggling father for the purposes of a fake publicity stunt, then keeping the stolen property for themselves.  This is what I'm talking about when I refer to OWS as violent, subhuman animals.

(VIDEO) Season's Beatings from the #Occupy movement

Tensions flared between Occupy protesters on Christmas day. The situation got so bad, a NewsChannel 5 videographer had to call police for help.

NewsChannel 5's videojournalist was on assignment at Legislative Plaza Sunday covering the holiday celebration, when the angle of the story suddenly changed. Two of the protesters started arguing with each other; one of them was three-months pregnant. Harsh words led to hair pulling and punching, and both of them landed on the ground.

Citizen pressure forces Obama to sign bill with Keystone provision

“President Obama signed into law a broad payroll tax package Friday afternoon that includes a measure requiring him to make a speedy decision on the Keystone XL pipeline,” The Hill reports this afternoon.

“The GOP-backed measure requires the administration to make a decision within 60 days on the pipeline, which would carry oil sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Gulf Coast. In order to reject the pipeline, Obama would have to declare that the project is not in the national interest.”

Obama previously asserted he would veto the bill and would never approve any legislation speeding up a decision on the critically-needed, safe, clean Keystone pipeline.

But that stone wall crumbled under a wave of grassroots pressure applied by American Tradition Partnership and other groups.  For days, ATP supporters have been calling, e-mailing and faxing the White House, demanding Obama sign a bill containing language requiring action on Keystone.

“Once again American Tradition Partnership supporters have forced Obama to back off his radical green extremism,” said American Tradition Partnership Donald Ferguson. “I’ll put this in words Obama can understand.  We are the 99 percent.  You and the multi-million dollar Gang Green lobby are the one percent.  If you continue to act on your radical green agenda of killing the Keystone jobs pipeline, you’ll be the one looking for work in 2013.”

But Obama still opposes the jobs pipeline, and all indications are he will reject it.

“Our hope is that the president will use the opportunity to deny the permit, and sooner rather than later,” said Bill McKibben president of the radical green group “350.” “His administration has made it clear many times over the past few weeks that the demand for quick approval attached to this legislation would result in the rejection of the pipeline.”

The shortened deadline means ATP must mount a, as The Hill puts it, “savage battle.”

As I told you Monday, I will be here at my desk through the weekend Christmas holiday fighting for your right to speak publicly about Gang Green.

And now I will have to add to that an intense battle against Obama and Gang Green to approve the Keystone pipeline.

I know things are hectic on Christmas weekend, but I hope you will stand with me.

Please go here to chip in $10 or more to help me keep up the fight for the Keystone jobs pipeline.

Thanks to you I’ve already broken through one White House stone wall, forcing him to actually make a decision.

But this next one, pressuring Obama to do the right thing and approve the pipeline, will be even bloodier and tougher.

Please stand with me.  Go here to chip in $10 or more.

We’ve already been given a great Christmas gift.  Your grassroots pressure brought Obama to his knees and made him accept a bill forcing him to make a decision on the Keystone pipeline.

I’ll be here at my desk all weekend fighting to make sure it’s the right one.

Thank you for your loyal support throughout the year.  May you and your family have a blessed Christmas, and I hope you will continue to stand with me through the holidays and this upcoming election year.

Sincerely,

Donald Ferguson, Executive Director

P.S.  You forced him to back down, somewhat. “President Obama signed into law a broad payroll tax package Friday afternoon that includes a measure requiring him to make a speedy decision on the Keystone XL pipeline,” The Hill reports this afternoon.

But the shortened deadline means ATP must mount a, as The Hill puts it, “savage battle.”  As I told you Monday, I will be here at my desk through the weekend Christmas holiday fighting for your right to speak publicly about Gang Green. Now I will have to add to that an intense battle against Obama and Gang Green to approve the Keystone pipeline.  Please go here to chip in $10 or more to help me keep up the fight for the Keystone jobs pipeline.

Thank you for your friendship and support through this year.  Merry Christmas and thank you!

Obama cronies get fat contracts forcing 'green' fuel on Navy

Solyndra, Part II?  Or just more of the same junk science and crony corporatism from Barack Obama -- and at the expense of our national security?

The editorial board of  The Washington Times takes aim at Obama's drive to force the military to hand his cronies piles of taxpayer cash for failing "green" energy:

The $1 trillion budget bill before Congress includes a provision that would resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline, but don’t expect its passage to open a flood of black gold and wash away Uncle Sam’s infatuation with all things green. Even as the scientific validation of global-warming theory crumbles, adherents in Washington have dragooned the U.S. military into leading the charge toward renewable energy...

...The Navy made headlines last week with the revelation that it has been ordered to purchase 450,000 gallons of biofuel to power its jet fighters. Conventional jet fuel costs about $4 a gallon, but the biofuel made from fermented algae will set back the service about $16 a gallon. The pricey green gas, says the Navy, will be used next summer to power planes participating in exercises near Hawaii under the politically correct title of “the Great Green Fleet Carrier Strike Force.” The purchase is part of a larger deal in which the Navy is partnering with the Agriculture and Energy departments to buy $510 million worth of biofuels over three years.

And who is getting the multi-million dollar contracts to supply the Navy with less efficient, more expensive fuel?

One supplier is California-based Solazyme, which received $22 million in federal stimulus funds to construct a biofuel plant in Louisiana. A company adviser, according to Hot Air, is T.J. Glauthier, who was a member of President Obama’s transition team. So in essence, overspending feds borrowed stimulus money, handed it over to an Obama buddy who helps build a factory for algae fuel that the feds buy back at quadruple the going rate.

Who would have thought we'd reach the day where environmentalist lust for taxpayer cash would not only cross ethical lines, but endanger national security?

Job creators: How ObamaCare is killing jobs

Who is stopping out economy failing to turn around?

Who is preventing job creators from creating jobs?

Who is responsible for the fact that for many, the economy is getting worse?

One man. 

Barack Obama.

Three of the nation's larger employers sat down with journalist John Stossel on his Fox Business Channel program.  Stossel describes the interview for Reason magazine.

You may watch the interviews here.

Brad Anderson, CEO of Best Buy, explained to Stossel how ObamaCare prevents employers from creating new businesses by imposing future costs that have yet to be determined.


“If I was trying to get you to fund a new business I had started and you asked me what my payroll was going to be three years from now per employee, if I went to the deepest specialist in the industry, he can’t tell me what it’s actually going to cost, let alone what I’m going to be responsible for," said Anderson.


"You would think a piece of legislation more than a thousand pages long would at least be clear about the specifics. But a lot of those pages say: 'The secretary will determine ...' That means the secretary of Health and Human Services will announce the rules sometime in the future. How can a business make plans in such a fog?," writes Stossel

Even worse, ObamaCare endangers the health of Americans who can't afford insurance on their own.

John Allison, former CEO of BB&T, explained to Stossel how Obamacare encourages employers to drop health insurance for employees.  Under the law, employers are forced to insure their employees. Employers who fail to insure their employees, but the $2,000 penalty is lower than the cost of a policy.

“What that means is in theory every company ought to dump their plan on the government plan and pay the penalty,” he said. “So you don’t really know what the cost is because it’s designed to fail.”  Companies that continue to offer insurance would run higher operating costs, which could force them out of business in a slow economy -- costing thousands of jobs.

Who are hardest hit by ObamaCare's onslaught of costs, regulation and government mandates?  Those on the lower rungs of the employment ladder.

"An owner of 12 IHOPs told me that he can’t expand his business because he can’t afford the burden of Obamacare. Many of his waitresses work part time or change jobs every few months. He hadn’t been insuring them, but Obamacare requires him to. He says he can’t make money paying a $2,000 penalty for every waitress, so he’s cancelled his plans to expand. It’s one more reason why job growth hasn’t picked up post-recession," writes Stossel.

Want to kill jobs?  Inject the economy with higher costs, more government regulations and more government mandates -- and do it in an arbitrary, unpredictable manner.

In that vein, ObamaCare is a lethal dose of economic poison, and the poorest Americans are suffering the most.

#OccupyDC overrun with rats, meth, al Qaeda, Hamas & Hezbollah flags

Apparently conditions at Occupy DC's McPherson Square camp have deteriorated since I last stopped by. 

I used to drop by every Saturday several years back when the homeless controlled the park.  It was always clean and never smelled back, but somehow Occupy DC managed to do what the homeless couldn't -- make the entire park covered in trash and reeking of feces.  But they were tolerated because they were somewhat quiet and respectful.

Now Washington Times national security reporter Bill Gertz reports conditions are no downright dangerous.  You may follow Gertz on Twitter at @billgertz.

Gertz reports rats "appear to be moving into the area by the hundreds, and their numbers are increasing daily" and "one distinctive smell coming from the park area is that of methamphetamine being smoked."

And if that weren't charming enough the Democrat Party darlings, whom Obama is still proud to stand with, are zealously flying the flags of "the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and al Qaeda," Gertz adds.

Why are Democrats still standing with these animals?  I predict we'll see a lot of ads tying radical Democrats to this violent, angry, anti-American hate movement.

Dems cheer as Occupy Denver invades, heckles homeless memorial service

Why are Democrats, and Obama, still standing with these evil, subhuman animals?

Read as Democrats cheer and applaud Occupy Denver for organizing as a mob and heckling a ceremony honoring homeless men and women who died on the streets.

As The Denver Post reports:

A traditionally solemn candlelight vigil for people who died on Denver's streets was disrupted tonight by a loud, angry Occupy Denver group...

...They shouted "fascist" and other slurs as Mayor Michael Hancock stepped forward to deliver the city's annual address on homelessness. 

Hancock pleaded with them to show civility to the families and respect for the 136 men and women whose names would eventually be called...

...Other people in the audience shouted things in reply, including "show some respect" and "grow up."

It didn't work.

As the names of those who had died were called, many, if not all, Occupy Denver members refused to say, "We will remember."

"It's disgraceful," said Cynthia Ingram, who had traveled from Buffalo, N.Y., for the event to honor a cousin on the list.

"This isn't about their political agenda; it's about our family some sympathy and showing just a little bit of respect for the dead. I am so angry right now."

Ingram said she had previously agreed with the Occupy mission, but did not respect the outbursts at tonight's Homeless Persons' Memorial Vigil.

So just which fat cat corporatist did these Occupy animals choose to attack, disrupt and bully?

The event, put on annually by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, is in its 22nd year, and this year attracted several hundred people.

The memorial included the names of 136 homeless people who died this year — 21 women, 115 men, who ranged from 20 to 76 years old.

Causes of death included pneumonia, hypothermia, heart attacks, drug or alcohol abuse, traffic accidents and suicides, according to the coalition.

"As we honor those who have passed, let us keep in mind those who are still on the street," said John Parvensky, president of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.

He said most Americans have a life expectancy of about 80 years, but for the homeless, life spans range between 42 and 52 years old.

The list of names is on the coalition's website at http://www.coloradocoalition.org.

Go here to read as Democrats cheer them on and applaud them for targeting a charity with nasty, profane posts.

Do the fine people at the Colorado Coalition who were subjected to this subhuman attack a favor and make a donation this blessed holiday season by going here.

ObamaCare supporters. Like sheep lead to slaughter.

Earlier today I tweeted "#40dollars buys a pain pill when ObamaCare declines Grandma's hip replacement."

A clueless liberal screeched that was a lie and ObamaCare forces insurers to cover the hip replacement. 
I explain to her "pain pill v. surgery" was OBAMA's statement explaining how he'd stop insurers from covering "unnecessary" procedures like giving Grandma the ability to walk and not suffer. 

I feel sorry for ObamaCare supporters who will be shocked to find they end up with less coverage.  Their lives are at stake.

Sheila Jackson Lee claims Republicans are setting Christmas trees on fire

"I am watching the trees and the lights in people's homes...you get closer to their tree and you see them beginning to pop and burn as the Christmas tree burns, and those who have lights in their homes, CANDLES, you see them burning to the very end, it is extinguished.  They are putting the American people in darkness!"

Slate author weeps orange toy foam guns are 'ultrarealistic,' 'scary,' 'frightening'

Slate writer Farhad Manjoo pens a weepingly hysterical article referring to this Day-Glo orange Nerf "Barricade" toy as an "ultrarealistic weapon."

"The Barricade," Manjoo writes "is what a gun expert would call a 'semiautomatic...'"

It's also what a normal person would call a "toy." 

But Manjoo's not normal.

"The Barricade is a pretty scary toy, and it’s not even close to being the scariest Nerf gun...Indeed, Nerf has become a lot more frightening since I was a kid," Mandoo types with quivering, sweaty fingers.

His hoplophobia (the irrational fear of guns, often rooted in psychosexual disorder) reaches a crescendo with "Over the past few weeks I’ve been playing with some of the new Nerf guns, and I’ve tied myself in knots thinking about whether ultrarealistic weapons are just harmless fun or whether they reveal something terribly wrong with modern American boyhood. I’ll admit it: As a father of a 1-year-old son, Nerf’s weaponry worries me."

He talks to a child psychiatrist, who assures him Nerf is not part of some massive military-industrial conspiracy to brainwash his children.  But Mandoo doesn't sound convinced.

Criminologist Don Kates, lecturer at Stanford University, Oxford University, Saint Louis University School of Law, and the University of Melbourne, has concluded a fear of weapons, as expressd by Mandoo, is sometimes a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity (Guns, Murders, and the Constitution, Pacific Research Institute, 1990)

Abortion clinic workers' blog asks readers to submit 'abortion haikus'

"The Abortioneers" a blog describing itself as  "The ins and outs and ups and downs of direct service in the field of abortion care" asked its readers last week to submit "your factual, subversive, hilarious, sensitive, face-kicking, or just plain silly abortion haiku."

What's an abortion haiku?

Just what it sounds like.

The author offers this:

Abortion clinics
Are great because they're awesome
They do abortions

One contestant offers this:

Unwanted baby
women trust themselves to know
abortion’s so right

"Abortion's so right?"  That one's almost gleeful about pocketing the abortion fee.

The winner?  This charming ditty.

Aborted my child
I should have kept my legs closed
I'm a worthless slut

Stuck-in-reverse Virginia Dems blast the idea of roads as a "core service"

A well-received $4 billion dollar plan to fix Virginia's crumbling roads, a top priority of voters, is running into a predictable opponent -- the Virginia Democrat Party.

"Democratic state chairman Brian Moran panned the idea, accusing the governor of trying to divert money from "core services," writes The Washington Examiner Friday. 

"But transportation is a core service, every bit as deserving of priority funding as education or public safety. Richmond's prior refusal to consider it a priority has led to the predictable hardening of Northern Virginia's major arterials and the commuting nightmares that have become so familiar in this region."

So just what exactly would the Virginia Democrat Party like to see killed, despite the near-crisis status of Virginia's congested, decaying roads and bridges?

"An analysis by Richmond-based Chmura Economics found that the $4 billion investment will grow Virginia's economy by $13 billion when fully implemented, creating 104,000 new jobs. It leverages just $97 million of state funds to build a $1 billion, public-private high-occupancy toll/high-occupancy vehicle lane project on Interstate 95 that increases capacity on one of Virginia's most congested highways."

Occupier steals $5500 from Occupy bank account. Occupy doesn't care.

The Occupy parasite mentality in action.

A D.C. Occupier has stolen $5500 from OccupyDC's bank account.  So they're angry and called the police, right?

No.

They refuse to press charges and don't care because "they're confident that donors will help replenish the account." 

There are two reasons they don't care.

1) They consider theft just another form of social justice, someone redistributing wealth personally.

2) They consider money something that is handed to you based on need, not something you earn by offering your labor or talents to others.

Occupier tries to block trains by shoving her 4 year old girl onto tracks

Occupy animals continue to use toddlers as human shields.

We've seen Occupiers order their daughter to run in front of oncoming trucks, put their kids in a wagon and shove them in front of riot squads, push them into the path of oncoming D.C. traffic.

Now watch as an Occupier, named "Lotus," makes her four-year-old daughter lay on dangerous railroad tracks thinking it will magically stop oncoming multi-ton trains.

I'd be surprised, but offering up individuals as ritual sacrifices for the good of the collective is the founding tenet of the deadly Occupy movement. 

The belief in the sanctity of the individual is what separates us from the animals, which is precisely why I use the term "Occupy animals." 

These Occupy animals are a step backward in the evolution of human society, a return to brute, primitive tribalism.
