Everyone knows that NYC is the most high value target for a Terrorist attack. We have been both vigilant and lucky when it comes to an event of that nature. Ray Kelly the best and only good idea Bloomberg ever had. As Police Commissioner of NYC Mr. Kelly has been stellar. We hear of many close calls of attacks that were foiled and others that never even made to the operational stage. There is no doubt Mr. Kelly and his forces are exceptional at keeping New York and its’ residents safe. One of the most critical aspects of their defenses would be the amount of resources and manpower at his disposal…. that dynamic has changed.
Now thanks to all of the Occupy Wall Street protesters the very entity that is charged to protect us from the radical Islamist threat is now saddled with reigning in this incoherent unfocused unbathed bunch of high drunk trust fund teenagers. Every hour that an officer is on duty babysitting these Woodstock wannabees is an hour where Radical Islam has been given a window of opportunity to strike.
Being a Tea Party member and constantly being excoriated by the Mainstream Media I am in shock at the tepid treatment they are given and yet they are still news outlets and celebrities and elected representatives who are supporting these protesters.
After visiting downtown I think you will enjoy this video I did and the young man I interviewed.

I think if they are going to protest something maybe instead of corporations they she be protesting the United States Government. I never heard of a corporation tax the American people send the young to war or put you in jail…just saying…….
As the media once again turns a blind eye to this President when it comes to inappropriate behavior and scandals, evidence of Solyndra and Operation Fast and Furious are just glossed over as if they were minor parking violations. Now in our midst, we have this movement occuring throughout the country – going by the name of Occupy Wall Street. I have been careful not to immediately jump to conclusions about those participating. Especially in light of the treatment that the Tea Party got from the media.
Now in its third week and a handful of celebrities have come down to do their photo op, the results have been 100′s of arrests, defecating on police cars, basically people looking for free food, drugs and now sex. At this moment, I don’t define this as a political movement. Knowing full well that the Left are dying to have a anti-Tea Party movement of their own. In its present state, the group has no political weight whatsoever. Its unfocused and incoherent at best. To me, it looks like a bunch of pseudo-hippies and left wing radicals who are trying to create enthusiasm for an administration whose numbers are falling fast.
As journalists try to decipher the muddled message coming out by the sober few, it would would seem that they are actually protesting against Obama. High unemployment, bailouts to the banks and Wall Street, and worst of all propping up the two creatures that spurred the entire financial meltdown – Fannie and Freddie.
2008 seems like it was lightyears ago. Gitmo is open. There are more troops in the Middle East, we have a healthcare law with no public option and a complete zero concerning immigration. Clearly, this is a frustrated bunch and worst of all, after the spending of trillions of dollars, we all have the same question: Where are the jobs?
