Crisis Strikes Occupy Wall Street: Not Enough Being Done To Accommodate The Drummers…

The pinnacle of self-indulgent douchebaggery.

Via NRO:

. . . Firstly, the very fact that this meeting happened makes a mockery of the America Is A Fascist State meme, which runs through much of the Occupy Wall Street movement. As I noted in my piece this afternoon, these people have “been invited into a government building in order to be indulged by a sympathetic, democratically elected assembly, and [are] being afforded the opportunity to justify what is effectively trespassing on private property. [Not to] mention that the laws that govern New York City parks are being wantonly waived in their favor, [and] various city ordinances are all but being ignored.”

Secondly, I’m not sure I have ever heard a more self-indulgent statement made by someone who ostensibly sounds so earnest and reasonable. If you were to switch off the sound, you would be forgiven for thinking that they were talking about education, or taxes, or health care. Instead, they are talking about . . . drumming, and we get such choice phrases as “balance the concerns of the community with the desires of the drummers to have their voices heard through their drums, drumming down Wall Street,” mention of the “drummers working group,” and and contention over whether the drummers will be drumming for two or four hours each day. The looks on the faces of the people to my right at the end of the clip say it all.

Keep reading…

    “drummers working group”

    ———–

    The newest politically-empowered identity-based group of the Progressive left.

    The left doesn’t care about individual rights. You have to be a member of one of the identity groups THEY ESTABLISHED in order to have your right respected. They want to take political power away from the Constitutionally established entities; Individual, City, State, Federal, and hand them over to identity designations that they have created.

    This was just discussed in the ‘Little Yellow Book’ thread about the Revolutionary Communist Platform. One of their states goals was to grant all the different racial groups in the US the autonomy to run their own political identity. The geographic ‘states’ are to be done away with in favor of; ‘Africa-America’, ‘Atzland’, ‘Honkyville’, etc.

    Why are these people putting up with this crap? You have a right to protest peacefully, but not inhabit the area of your protest.

    The more they appease these morons the bolder these morons are going to be, and when they are finally told NO you can’t do this or that, then they will use it as an excuse to riot!

    I’m waiting for the day when all the businesses around the areas they’re squatting at get fed up with their shit, and run them out.

    The drummers see themselves as the heart of the protest and asked for $8000 for new drums, which was turned down; now they’re pissed. There have been twitter wars over internet decisions and today a subgroup was criticized for speaking to the media on behalf of OWS. This is the beginning of factionalizing and will lead to a refined and experienced protest group before next summer. By then the administration will have helped install leaders and co-opted the group for their own agenda. On their forums today a commenter wrote on how to gain conservative support for the protest; he (or she) was told the GOP wasn’t welcome and that OWS wanted to work with Obama.

    The perfect “Occupy” pledge:
    I don’t wanna be a slave, because I want to join a bunch of crust punks, hippies and hipsters and repeat everything that they say. I want to express my individuality through collectivity and liberate myself through regulation. I don’t need to understand everything, because a bunch of radical professors will think for me. I believe in freedom of speech, unless Anonymous wants to hack a person’s computer for holding the wrong opinions. I am not afraid of letting people know who I am, so I will wear a Guy Fawkes mask because I saw it in some movie. I hate racism and xenophobia and anyone who disagrees is a redneck or a Jew. I am an original thinker, since everything I post on Tumblr is reblogged from someone else. My vocabulary is better than yours, even though I use the phrase “Epic Fail” 100 times a day. I am the 99%, because everyone else says so.

    I don’t have a tv, does anyone know if SNL has spoofed them? I mean, they spent so much time spoofing Sarah Palin, so I’m very curious.

    THESE are the precious snowflakes we’ve been waiting for. THIS is the result of the leftist education system and the “participation trophies”. We have an entire generation of humans that is an endangered species. Can’t survive on their own. Call PETA. (I’m thinking my kid and yours on this site are the exception though).

    The fact that the local Liberals haven’t risen up and driven this bunch of jackasses out of the neighborhood makes me have no sympathy. They made their bed with Obama, now let them ALL sleep in it. Nelson is pointing and going,
