Occupy protesters
To the editor:
This is a disturbing movement. A “protest” that translates into “occupation” of public and private property across our nation and across our boarders. Although the numbers of people in these protests are not very big, the movement has its concerns for all Americans watching. The biggest concern for me is that part of the attendance of these movements is from college professors and they are holding “classes “on the streets that are teaching the Marxist and Communist belief system to these young people living in the camps.
Besides for just the concern of what is being taught at these protests is the concern of our political representatives that endorse the movement. They are endorsing communism? My friend recently attended a city council meeting in Fort Myers and the Fort Myers city was praising this movement They are not the first local government to do this and for the life of me I cannot understand why. If any of you are out there and reading this, can you please write back and answer this question for me. Please. Because not so long ago it used to be considered a criminal act to spew communism in America. What has happened to our country? Why are our leaders not defending our democratic republic?
This week (Nov. 8, 2011) there were four news stories regarding the violence of this movement Just in this one week,. In “Occupy DC” the occupiers took their rage out on a building that was holding an AFT meeting (Americans for Prosperity) a conservative grass roots organization. As the AFT people tried to leave the building two older women were attacked by the protesters. One 78-year-old woman was pushed down the concrete front steps and hit her head on a concrete piling. The other woman was just pushed down and she hurt her arm and was scared to death. These are not the actions of praise. Look at the video for yourselves: http”//www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2011/11/campagning/occupiers-attack-78-year-old-woman.php.
In “Occupy Portland” the camp is infected with an epidemic of head and body lice. Still, no leaders are doing anything about it. In NYC, the occupiers camp has been segregated. Women now have their own section and tent complete with a night time guard. This is to try and prevent any more rapes from occurring. In “Occupy Oakland” the police are in trouble for trying to defend the city against protesters throwing flaming bottles at officers and private property and then in “Occupy Vancouver” there was a report of a dead protester found in her tent. Appears to have been a drug overdose.
The “Occupy” protesters say they are speaking for the 99 percent of the population. Really? I was not aware that 99 percent of the country had a drug problem, committed rape, pushed elderly women down steps, followed communism and have head and body lice. It’s staggering. What is most astonishing is that our dear president has also endorsed this movement Please repeat that to yourself until it is understood for what it is … The president of these United States of America, a Democratic Republic nation, home of the free and the brave, home of the Declaration of Independence, home of the U.S. Constitution and HE is defending and endorsing Marxism and communism. This is and should be a very real wake up call to all whom were undecided on the upcoming presidential election of 2012.
