Occupy Oakland Joins Public Unions for General Strikes, Sanctioned by City - November 2, 2011 - In a move rife with irony, the Occupy Oakland movement has teamed up with local unions to participate in a general strike on Wednesday. Not content to just complain about corporate greed, global warming or animal cruelty, the Occupiers have decided to expand their message to include school closures, reform to union benefits and cuts in social programs. Members from teacher’s and nurses unions as well as other unions gathered to meet the Occupy protesters in front of Oakland’s City Hall Wednesday morning. The city government of Oakland has graciously allowed its unionized employees to use personal days or sick time to join the strike. Organizers plan to end the day’s activities at the Port of Oakland, where they hope to “halt the flow of capital” coming into the port. The International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union say they are not able to sanction a strike, but support the movement against “corporate greed that is wrecking America”. (...)
Gary Bauer - OWS Out Of Control: The Occupy Wall Street movement, which Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and so many Democrats have embraced, is out of control and needs to be shut down. Responsible Democrats have warned that it is full of radicals and extremists, many of whom believe in violence to achieve their goals. The scenes from Oakland, California, prove it. The public is catching on. A recent poll found that a plurality of Americans now disapproves of the movement.
If the media were interested in exposing sexual harassment, they would leave Herman Cain alone, hop in a cab and spend a few hours investigating OWS. There have been numerous reports of sexual assaults and rapes at OWS camps from coast-to-coast. In one case the victim was 14 years old.
Ironically, for a movement based on fighting income inequality and fighting for jobs, the OWS crowd (just like Obama) is now costing jobs, in part because (just like Obama) it doesn't understand how jobs are created in the first place.
Here's a hint: Jobs aren't created by people who sit around whining all day about how much other people owe them! They are created by men and women who work hard every day trying to provide a product or service for other people. For the all the talk about inequality, the OWS movement is really a very selfish group that seems to think society owes them something.
Marc Epstein, who owns a successful deli in Boston, recently invested $4 million to open the Milk Street Café near Zuccotti Park. But thanks to Occupy Wall Street, Epstein has been forced to lay off workers for the first time in 30 years. And on the "Left Coast," the Occupy Oakland mob decided it would be a really good idea to shut down the Port of Oakland, which supports 50,000 local jobs.
Now the extremists in the Occupy Wall Street movement are diversifying. We have repeatedly exposed the anti-Semitism that infects the movement. But last weekend Occupy Vancouver protestors disrupted a mass at the Holy Rosary Cathedral.
According to Lifesitenews.com, this attack on the cathedral could be a response to Frank Schaeffer's call for the Occupy movement to target evangelical and Catholic churches. In a recent blog post, Schaeffer wrote, "The source of the empowering of the top 1 percent super wealthy and the economic rape of rest of us is the religion of Evangelical fundamentalism."
My friends, I have warned for years about the intolerance of the left. The fight for faith, family and freedom is reaching a fevered pitch in America. Whatever issues may divide conservatives in the coming weeks and months, they pale in comparison to the issues that unite us. Never forget that.
