[THIS SAUL ALINSKY PROGRESSIVE WANTS AMERICA TO BE DESTROYED! Stop her... we surround them!]
After predicting earlier this month that “we’ll see action” from the Occupy Wall Street movement in the spring, leftist professor and activist Frances Fox Piven said it’s “time for another surge from the bottom.”
Piven, making her comments in a video for the left-leaning magazine The Nation, said soaring inequality has always been the “default position” in America.
“In the absence of movements from below, of real trouble from below, in the absence of protests, American politics, electoral politics — despite the fact that so many people go out to vote — reverts to a position where big money is the dominating force, and when big money is the dominating force, regulations of business become impossible, or they are ignored, and that of course is what happened in the current period.”

We previously discussed the president’s rather… “interesting” decision to release part of the strategic petroleum reserve this week. It was a rather pointless, if not dangerous political maneuver which isn’t winning him any friends. Now the chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, Doc Hastings, has weighed in on the subject and he is less than pleased.
“The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is intended for situations when there’s a dramatic supply shut down, not to achieve short-term political gain. However, this is a clear admission from the Obama Administration that increasing domestic oil supplies will help lower costs. Unfortunately, for the past two and a half years, the Obama Administration has consistently blocked efforts to expand American energy production and has actively placed moratoriums on domestic development. This release will only cover a fraction of the oil production lost from the Gulf of Mexico due to the Administration’s moratorium and permitting delays. The Administration’s anti-American energy policies have left the United States increasingly vulnerable to the whims of the world oil market and OPEC’s erratic decisions on oil supply.”
‘Garfield’ Creator Apologizes for Comic Strip That May Have Offended Veterans

FILE – In this June 9, 1998 file photo, Garfield creator Jim Davis pauses after drawing the cartoon character in his Muncie, Ind., office.
Cartoonist Jim Davis apologized Thursday for a Garfield strip that some veterans may have found offensive.
The strip ran on Veterans Day in newspapers across the country. It shows a spider daring the pudgy orange cat to squash it. The spider tells Garfield that if he is killed, “they will hold an annual day of remembrance in my honor.”
The final panel shows a spider-teacher asking its students if they know why spiders celebrate “National Stupid Day.”
Obama groomed to have ‘grudge against America’
OneNewsNow
An attorney and best-selling author says there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that President Obama’s foreign policy thus far has been decidedly anti-American.
David Limbaugh‘s latest book is called Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obama. The book has already reached the coveted number-one spot on the New York Times best-seller non-fiction list.
Limbaugh believes the president’s views are radical and anti-American and that his ultimate goal is to bring America “back down to size” by redistributing its wealth and reducing its power and influence around the world. Barack Obama, he believes, was groomed to have a “grudge” against America.
“I think he was raised that way by his mother and his grandparents, [by his] step-parents, [by] his mentor Franklin Marshall Davis, who was a card-carrying communist and had racist issues,” says the author. “He was kind of groomed to have a grudge against America. We saw it when he joined Reverend Wright’s church, which is decidedly anti-American, anti-Semitic.”
According to Limbaugh, Obama’s actions since taking office have not dispelled those anti-American arguments.
“He goes around the world apologizing for all the alleged misdeeds of the United States. He discloses our military secrets [and] our enhanced interrogation techniques to the enemy,” Limbaugh continues.
“He discloses our nuclear arsenal, which has heretofore been secret. He wants to prosecute the people who saved lives when they conducted these enhanced interrogation techniques.”
Limbaugh thinks Obama is bent on exacting whatever revenge he can on America.
