Thank you, Velvet Hammer
President Ronald Reagan understood. God rest his soul, he was a ‘traditional American’. Obama and his un-American progressive cabal are not –by a long shot. One simply can not loathe America and all that she stands for and be a ‘traditional American’. Traditional Americans who value liberty, are the backbone of this great country. Always have been. Progressives headed by wannabe despot Obama, want to literally rip our freedoms from us and cut her off at the knees.

Is it any wonder that in these polling results released yesterday by Gallup, Ronald Reagan came out on top? Note the net rating percentage points of Reagan versus Obama. Quite the wide margin wouldn’t you say? In fact, take careful note of Obama’s numbers across the board. Far from stellar.
Come November 2012, vote the bastard –OUT. I don’t care who eventually wins the GOP nomination –get OUT and VOTE. Your vote will be AGAINST Obama, not for the candidate of your choice. That is the –POINT. Sure, they each have their negatives. BUT the alternative, a second term for O (a FRIGHTENING thought), should be more than enough to motivate you.
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to save your country.
Vote as if the American way of life depends on it –because it DOES.
Update: Bonus Reagan video.

(Breitbart TV) –The trailer for the new film produced by Citizens United and directed by Stephen K. Bannon. “Occupy Unmasked” goes deep into the “Occupy” movement and exposes its origins as well as the radical ideas behind “income inequality” that has become the centerpiece of the Obama re-election effort.

#OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far – John Nolte Big Government
Fortunately for America, this plan has not only failed miserably it has backfired completely. Thanks to the rise of New Media and our unwillingness to let the MSM’s lies, bias, and cover ups stand for even one more day, Occupy is in its death throes and might take the President and Democratic party down with it. First and foremost, we uncovered the lie that Occupy was grassroots and then we exposed every Occupy rape, poop, death, overdose, old woman thrown down the stairs, attack on a police officer, and public act of masturbation. In the process, public opinion turned against the Occupiers and as a result these Leftists have started doing what the Left always does when they lose … have a tantrum:

We need to keep this list updated and comprehensive. Please email whatever I might have missed and any future incidents to jnolte@breitbart.com or tweet them to @NolteNC.
Linked at Occupy Wall Street, where I found this delusional comment:

This should generate a buzz on this website! The trailer is full of the bad ‘isolated’ incidents. Hope the film has a better balance.http://occupywallst.org/forum/must-see-video-occupy-unmasked/#comment-633444

If they only knew how usefully idiotic they are…
*Coarse language warning*
Occu-Mob Goes Berserk: Smashes Windows [a restaurant and a parked car], Dumps Trash, Intimidates Media/Cops
(daylightdisinfectant) -Dateline Portland, Oregon – February 7, 2012: Violence/Language warning. Viewer Discretion Is Advised. What was supposed to be another “Peaceful Protest” by Occupy Portland ran hopelessly awry and out of control this evening. The self described mob shouted profanity, broke windows, and sought to intimidate police and citizen journalists who would try and film it.
Chants made by the Occu-Mob included “Fu*k the Police!,” “All Cops Are Bastards,” and “America Has Got to Go!” Again, viewer discretion is advised.
The 99%? A pathetic, delusional joke of a lie.
They are their own worst enemy.
A shout out to academic professors across the nation, for their part in intentionally warping the minds of generations of American youths.
As with all video footage of the OWS ObamaVille Occupy mobs rioting in the streets, this is attack ad gold.
Update: Same day.
Occupy Portland Hurls Racist Taunts at Police
LaughingAtLiberals
While attending the march in solidarity with Occupy Oakland, I filmed one of the march leaders shouting racist slurs at police. He also uses a term that is offensive to mentally disabled people, along with several other instances of hate filled rhetoric.
Update 2: Another video shot the same day. OPDX cockroaches attack when exposed.
Occupy Portland Assaults and Threatens Cameraman
LaughingAtLiberals
Viewer discretion advised!
I attempt to join a supposedly peaceful march with Occupy Portland. One gentleman, Mario Javier David Haro, assaults me by repeatedly ramming his bicycle into me as I walk down the sidewalk, and at one point he swats at me in an attempt to vandalize my camera. Another friendly chap threatens to “level” me and says he will “put [me] on the floor.” All of this along with several other insulting comments and foul language.
Big thanks to Occupy Portland for staying civil, tolerant, diverse, and accepting people of other opinions. NOT!
As far as I know, Occupy Oakland’s FTP march last night was for the most part uneventful.
When the majority of Occupy Oakland behaves, there is no repercussion from the OPD. Amazing how that works.
Although Vivian Ho of the San Francisco Chronicle reported on a few incidents via Twitter. This time they turned their pent up anger towards the media. Hey, I thought they are all about the 1st amendment. Heh.
This bottle of urine was thrown at a KTVU news truck. Animals.

FTP is the acronym for Occupy Oakland’s weekly F*ck the Police marches.
BECK DIEFENBACH/REUTERS
Here is a short video taken last night of the OO rabble rousing malcontents chanting “No Justice. No Peace. F*ck the Police”, sans the asterisk.
Provocative in and of itself. Though free speech is free speech, is free speech.
But keep in mind that Occupy Oakland has NEVER been given a permit to protest, they openly mock the estimated $50,000 per week cost to the city (taxpayers) to babysit their continuous radical agitating and all past ‘protests’ have resulted in violence, chaos, trespassing, and vandalism of both public and private property. Domestic terrorists, plain and simple. See related posts below and/or browse through archived posts here.
Replacement of the stolen and subsequently burned City Hall flag by Occupy Oakland during last weeks riot, and a group of concerned citizens are planing a counter-protest. I bet they get a permit beforehand. Now that’s what I’m talking about!
(KTVU) –Phil Tagami, a real estate developer whose office is at Frank Ogawa Plaza across from City Hall, presented the city with a flag Monday to replace the one that was stolen and burned during last weekend’s protest.
Tagami said the city has to find a way to stop the ongoing violence.
“It’s marauding bands of people roaming through downtown Oakland causing property destruction and general mayhem,” he said. “If that’s not a form of terrorism, then I don’t know what is.”
On Monday, Nancy Sidebotham and other concerned Oakland residents plan to hold a counter-protest to support the city and the police.
“This is our city, and we’re not going to let it deteriorate,” she said.
On a Super Bowl Sunday side note. I’m picking The Giants over the Pats. For the mere fact that Patriots QB Tom Brady makes me ill.

U.S. Park Police push Occupy DC demonstrators across a sidewalk at McPherson Square in Washington Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen)
Gee, if Occupy DC becomes any more “peaceful ” and “non-violent” someone is liable to get seriously injured.
(WTOP) –WASHINGTON – Tensions escalated Saturday night as police in riot gear clashed with protesters at McPherson Square.
Eight people were arrested.
Officials said it was relatively peaceful but got tense late in the day when an officer was hit in the face with a brick as police pushed protesters out of the last section of the park. The officer was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The man suspected of striking him is being charged with a felony assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon. He is in police custody.
……
Police insisted they were not evicting the protesters. Those whose tents conformed to regulations were allowed to stay, and protesters can stay 24 hours a day as long as they don’t camp there with blankets or other bedding. Police threatened to seize tents that broke the rules and arrest the owners.Officials used barricades to cordon off sections of McPherson Square, a park under federal jurisdiction near the White House, and checked tents for mattresses and sleeping bags and sifted through piles of garbage and other belongings. Some wore yellow biohazard suits to guard against diseases identified at the site in recent weeks. Officials also have raised concerns about a rat infestation.
Update:
(WaPo) –The Occupy D.C. protester authorities said threw a glass bottle that injured the eye of a Park Police officer was released to a halfway house after a Thursday morning hearing.
Jeremiah D. DeSousa, 29, of Charlotte, was charged with assault after allegedly throwing the bottle during Saturday’s raid on the Occupy encampment in McPherson Square.
A hearing in his case was scheduled for Feb. 28, court officials said.
The officer is out of the hospital and his vision is improving, according to Sgt. David Schlosser, a Park Police spokesman. He has not returned to work, Schlosser said Thursday.
