Fireside Chats and Chants

[FCTP]

The air is crisp and changes in the weather are welcome.  It’s been a hot summer with the weather and with politics so we are enjoying the real climate change that comes with the seasons. 

 

This is my favorite time of year.  For those up north, they watch the leaves change to golden hues of orange and yellows.  For those of us in the south, we watch the grass stop growing (no more Saturday mowings) and the palm tree opening new fronds as it remakes itself. 

 

The pool water is too cold for humans so the pool toys are put away and the rusty fire pit is readied for another season of marshmallows and fireside conversations.   Gathering together with our friends in the cool of the night is another favorite of mine.  Campers also begin their plans for cool nights with their families and friends enjoying the sounds of nature and the time spent together.

 

I thought others were gearing up for a camping experience when I saw a gathering of individuals on TV.  I turned up the volume and listened intently to the wide-eyed group chanting with an avowed communist Frances Fox Piven.  See for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBbnnqlX9Jw

 

Here we go, ladies and gents.  The planned riots have begun and they are pretending that this is a movement generated by upset people who can’t get jobs or who are tired of profits on Wall Street.  Let us not be fooled by the shenanigans of those behind the scenes pulling the strings of these wide-eyed youth with no direction in their lives.  They are being used by the real “corporate greed” monsters who are funding their activities and trying to take down THEIR competition through rioting youth with no understanding of how they are being led astray.  Ms. Piven has always been a troublemaker and she will always be a troublemaker because she is a communist.  Communists cause trouble and abhor the American culture.  Read more about Ms. Piven here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Fox_Piven

 

As I sat in stunned silence watching the chanting, my mind went back to the Tea Party March on DC on 9/12 as 1.5 million of us (I was there) “chant” our message of USA and we sung together:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2saa2rtvs8&feature=related

 

The same group that chants with Ms. Piven is also demanding that Obama be re-elected.  See more here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFVR9Nv43J4

 

So the ones who are upset about how our economy is being run, wants President Obama re-elected so he can continue to destroy our economy and they can continue to be slaves to those behind this Wall Street protest????? 

 

Ahh…can I go back to the beginning of this blog?  Remember how great it was to feel the air and plan our conversations around the fire pits with marshmallows on sticks? 

Are those days gone?  Will we have the ability to live our lives in peace OR will the coming election year be filled with riots and protests in the streets?  Will Obama use these people to create pandemonium?

 

Whatever will be will be.  For us – we must stay focused on the plan to remove those who are destroying our economy from the White House and Congress.  We must not fear what might be and stay peaceful while they chant with communists.

 

There will be more of these “Wall Street Protests” in your hometowns.  Be on the lookout for the Communist Chanting Protests.  In Jacksonville, we will see ours this coming Saturday at Hemming plaza at noon.  Read here:  http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/story/occupy-wall-street-heads-flo...

 

We encourage you to stay away from these protests and let them be.   Let them chant and let them protest.  It’s their right as an American citizen to do so.  It is not their right to destroy property or hurt anyone, however.

 

We will be sitting around the fire pit singing God Bless America and praying to God for His peace and protection and for Him to be the center of our culture again.   I think I’ll put my trust in Him since He is the one who made the leaves change; the palms remake themselves and the world turn.    It appears His powers are bigger so I’m hanging with Him.

 

And I think it is time to start our own chant and it goes perfectly with Murray Goff’s song – God Save the USA.  I’m chanting that, how about you?

Ken, if you honestly believe that the banks and Wall Street had no part in this mess, you have been sold a bill of goods (or a bag of bad mortgages).

[amanda choate]

Ken, if you got what happened in the mortgage industry any more wrong it would be laughable.

But I maintain that I could have it wrong, thus saving you the need to counter-attack.

[amanda choate]

Frances Piven is an 80 year old woman. I don't remember her name ever coming up before. Seems to me to be a "red herring".

[amanda choate]

I remember my days on campus during the Polish workers strike, when Americans stood by these workers as they threw off their oppressors. I contributed to their cause in the quad,at a table where they sold pins that simply said, Solidarnosc!! Solidarity.

As David said these people aren't idiots, they are just people who are fed up. They aren't being led by anyone. There have been several tea partiers down there supporting them also.

It is easy to pigeonhole them as whatever, communists, subversives,anarchists. Seems to me that is the same stuff spewed out about tea party.

[amanda choate]

Totally disagree, which is cool, but I totally disagree. What are they saying that the Tea Party hasn't said already??? Corporate accountability, governmental accountability. Same thing that has been stated her a thousand times and a thousand ways. We have to more than partisans. This group looks like they have as much distrust of government as anyone here does. They aren't for more government, they expect better government, we are quibbling here. Join forces with them, let politicians on both sides of the aisle know that we are no longer going to take it. These are brothers in arms.

maybe they are protesting (inartfully) the idea of socialist capitalism.  the taxpayers take the loss but wall street gets to make the profit.  let's not forget:  this is a banking system that collapses the economy due to their reckless (and possibly illegal) gambling, gets bailed out by U.S. taxpayers to the tune of billions, then pays itself outrageous bonuses while the rest of the country suffers, and then continues much of the same risky activity without facing any accountability...that's what i would be protesting.

worst president in history Woodrow Wilson wandering in the presidential desert while the federal reserve was created and  the income tax was put into effect thus stateism gets a solid foothold and kicks lady liberty right in the teeth.

Thanks

[w. lee dungan jr.]

let me get this straight free market capitalism creates a place where they can come out against free market capitalism. Oh dear my idiot detector is red lining.

If you've watched any of the interviews with these "activist" most don't seem to know what they're doing there.  They just came down to join up with everyone else.  Smoke a little, drink a little and party a lot.  My questions is "where  are they going to the bathroom".   Gross!!!
