Christian believers and activists with signs and American (and Israeli) flags didn’t give an inch outside of the Holy Grounds Coffee House in Springfield, Mass., as a loud, well-organized “Occupy Springfield” protest converged to harass and intimidate them, targeting Pastor Scott Lively and his inner-city Christian mission. Christian activists also counter-picketed the nearby storefront of the “Occupy” organization with the message that they weren’t backing down.
It’s believed to be the first time in the U.S. that any Occupy harassment action has been met with resistance by those they were targeting.
The demonstration brings to the forefront what many have observed since the beginning of the “Occupy” movement: That along with its socialist and anarchist economic philosophy, at its core it is anti-American, pro-Muslim, and particularly hostile to Christianity and traditional values.
Occupy Springfield has publicly stated that one of their goals is to drive Pastor Lively and his Christian mission out of town. Dr. Lively, a western Massachusetts native whose family has lived in the region since the 1600s, established Redemption Gate Mission Society a few years ago and set up the Holy Grounds Coffee House in inner-city Springfield to bring Christian faith to the downtown area.
Although the ministry’s focus is on helping people live by Christian Biblical principles, Dr. Lively has been attacked by anti-Christian liberals because of his past writings documenting and opposing the homosexual movement, and his pro-family activism around the world. They have tirelessly attempted to spread lies about him and marginalize him. But at the same time, the coffee house has gained great popularity in the neighborhood as a spiritual oasis in an often dangerous area.

Angry "Occupy Springfield" protester outside the Holy Grounds Coffee House
Occupy Springfield runs its operation out of a storefront office rented by a far-left group called “Arise for Social Justice” — which is located just four doors down on the same block as the coffee house!
This sign in a window of "Arise for Social Justice" storefront office sort of reminds us of the typical Massachusetts elementary school these days.

May the Lord Jesus bless and protect them.
Columbus invaded America?
Well if that is the case, then maybe the people that are crying about it should leave.
Amen!
Works for me
“Columbus invaded America?

Exactly. What’s even more hillarious is that without modern capitalism and retail, these people would all be naked, and that’s generous, because they would starve to death well before that. Well, it’s about time they (Occupy Movement) showed their real colors for a change.
Occupiers (occupants?) will be targeting the polling places in the primary and general elections. Any one of us may be lucky enough to find one or more of these pests in our faces. :)
I can kinda see why the one with the sign in the foreground went the homo route. Scary.

Scott Lively talks and talk and walks the walk. His book "The Pink Swastika" is a must read, it's online but I like books in my hand. Great to see some people standing up to the Occupukes!!!

This rant is just getting old. The Indians feel this invasion is the only one to happen. What the Indians fail to say. Is tribes in America did the very same thing.
