On Glenn Beck's radio show yesterday he had several callers who agreed with most of the “Occupy Wall Street” folks. Glenn chastised these callers for buying into the nonsense and empty platitudes. The left, he said, were trying everything they can to skim some tea-partiers to their cause. Glenn made a big deal of it last night on GBTV.

Not surprised. I know some otherwise conservative people who would give their right arm to see some banker perp walks. There is SO much boiling anger at the banks out there the danger is high it may erupt and overwhelm common sense. And certainly the banks are dumb enough to keep chucking logs on the fire.

The nazis did the same. Took a bunch of wildly different groups and united them against the greedy rich. In the end the only people who got what they wanted were the fascists at the top.

This is the single best documentary I've ever seen on the rise and fall of the third reich. Its terrifying in its familiarity and it covers hitler's collecting power from groups that outright hated him but helped give him power.

Third Reich - The Rise 1/6

Any tea partier who thinks they can use the wall street movement for their own gain is lying to themselves and acting out of desperation. They need to do some very serious soul searching. Aligning oneself with the devil will only lead to damnation.

Any Tea Partier, that goes to their side, is not a true Tea Partier and I say GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!! This Occupy Wall Street (bowel) movement, is all about Anarchy, Socialism, Marxism and destroying Capitalism and everything that makes America, America. They are EXACTLY what Obama's (and Progressives) agenda is aiming for....this is HIS army. Screw that $#IT!!

The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters have listed 13 proposed demands from their website.

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Demand four: Free college education.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

I assume you realize this, but for the sake of getting it out there—the Wall Street protesters and the Tea Party are driven by opposite ideologies.

The left is afraid of Palin-style populism, which is nothing other than constitutional conservatism demanding freedom from government and from crony capitalism. They know this movement can stop big government globalism/Marxism in its tracks.

So the left’s strategy is to fool people into thinking the Tea Party and the hippy crowd come from the same thing. But when you hear the hippies talk, you can see a huge difference in factual knowledge between individual members of the two groups. The hippies are mostly clueless.
