The occupiers continue their destructive, nihilistic campaign to…do…something annoying.
Some demonstrators are planning to occupy retailers on Black Friday to protest “the business that are in the pockets of Wall Street.”
Organizers are encouraging consumers to either occupy or boycott retailers that are publicly traded, according to the Stop Black Friday website.
The goal of the movement is to impact the profits of major corporations this holiday season.
Just so we’re clear, the occupiers are already occupying because they’re broke, mired in debt, and can’t find jobs that will help them pay off their $35,000 degrees in advanced puppetry. So absent actually parking themselves in retail space to physically block people from buying their Christmas gifts, this latest occupation will be nothing more than a call to irritate innocent people buying gifts, and retailers trying to survive the Obama economy.
Nevertheless, the Tea Party once again shows that it’s the reasonable, mainstream, patriotic side of the protest coin.
Liberate Philadelphia/Liberate America, a Tea Party coalition of groups countering the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, are challenging the latest move by Occupy Wall Street protesters to occupy or boycott publicly traded retailers on Black Friday by instead encouraging consumers to shop on Black Friday to help the economy recover.
“At a time when our economy is most fragile and ratings agencies are talking about another downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, it’s completely irresponsible for Occupy Wall Street to attempt to bring the U.S. economy to a halt on the busiest shopping day of the year,” Liberate organizer and a spokesman for the Tea Party, John Sullivan, stated in a press release.
Although “Occupy Black Friday” is not meant to be an anti-capitalist movement, according to the group’s website, supporters of Liberate Philadelphia/Liberate America claim that the entire “Occupy Wall Street” movement is not in support of a free market.
“Occupy’s message is frequently one of destroying the American free market,” Liberate organizer and President of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association, Teri Adams, stated in a Liberate Philadelphia/Liberate America press release.
Retailers typically take on seasonal hires to help handle the increased traffic and volume that hits this time of year, a time that many of these eeeevil corporations depend on to carry them through the rest of the year (and keep Americans employed). If the occupiers really wanted to do something useful, they would just go and occupy a job.
As with many other endeavors from the left, their desire is to enmesh all other persons in their extreme discouragement and depression. If they can’t have THEIR way, then NO ONE should be successful. It is a puerile approach to life, and certainly the logical result of liberal upbringing. It’s disgusting and revolting. That we do NOT enforce the laws for civilized crowds, (that are enforced with glee on the Tea Parties across our nation) shows the backdoor acquiescence to this lawless unpatriotic display. I can only hope they freeze their little fannies in their bags so they can be escorted out to thaw that and their brains, as well.
If OWS wanted to Occupy “businesses in the pocket of Wall Street” they should have been at the White House, Barack Obama 2012 HQ in Chicago, Romney 2012 HQ, and in Capitol Office complex. These are the people truly in the pocket of Wall Street.
It will be interesting to watch Occupiers get
between serious shoppers and a good buy.
These sales may be the only opportunity to purchase
a toy for their children. A toy that is usually costs
more than a parent can afford. I can see some serious
action at Toys R Us and Best Buy.
The occupados are basically saying support your local firemen by burning down the fire house.
The Occupie fiasco shows how out to lunch the Marxists are. It’s all backfiring. I expect they will resort to stirring up a race war by summer–with some serious violence. Obama can declare martial law and cancel the elections. The Marxists know they will never again get one of their own elected to the White House. And their Senate majority is slipping away as Sarah Palin rallies Tea Party challengers. What would Lenin do?
