Occupy Toledo packs it up; movement soars

  So they moved out because of the cold weather, promising to meet in other locations, namely a social justice church, as a number of other occupy groups have. Someone commented that mysteriously the power was turned back on in their Levis Park area to fuel the Christmas lights.
  Heh.
  Edmonton occupiers also had their power turned off.
  Heh.
  In LA, where the weather is warmer, the city has offered 10,000 square feet of city property free at $1 per year rental fee. Considering that the cost of occupiers' misbehavior is at about $13 million nationally and considering that California is in, shall we say, fiscal danger, good luck with that.
  Meanwhile, nationally, the occupier movement seems to be waning, according to the Washington Times, who detail carefully the evolution of the movement, its origins and those groups who have schemed to imitate the Tea Party, which truly was a grass roots movement rather than a union/anarchist/communist/socialist/Soros sponsored event enhanced with paid participants.

Beginning last summer, Van Jones, former White House “green jobs” czar, self-proclaimed communist and hero of the far left, began foretelling of an “October Surprise.” In retrospect, he was attempting to assume the role of Rick Santelli, whose spontaneous rant on CNBC from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in February 2009 inadvertently launched the Tea Party movement. Mr. Jones’ predictions of an October surprise were far from spontaneous or inadvertent: They were pure political calculus, laying the groundwork for a much hoped for, much planned for Tea Party of the left. 

By no means was Mr. Jones working alone. The Take Back the American Dream Conference in Washington, D.C., was planned for the first week in October. It featured a roster of luminary liberal speakers, including the New York Times‘ Robert Reich, the Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel, Reps. Barney Frank and Janice D. Schakowsky, andAFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and a host of others.

  And so it goes. While some politicians, including those really, really high in government, continue to support the occupy movement in hopes of shoring up votes and support for their left wing cause, a significant portion of the population (those who work for a living, no doubt) has fallen out of love (if they were ever in it) with the poopers.
  The Week has several theories, not the least of which blames the Right Wing, as opposed to the poopers and their fans. Here are the theories:

1. People are disgusted with occupiers' behavior

  No. Really?

2. Right wing propaganda is working

And that would be.....the MSM? Don't think so. Right wing propaganda seems to hang around...the right wing.

3. Many Americans are just starting to pay attention. The Week quotes Tommy Christopher explaining the lack of attention this way:  "To the disengaged mind, the human tendency to crave order and conformity easily overtakes the details. If there's a fight involving the police, the police must be right."

  So we're disengaged. Yeah, that's it. We crave order rather than what we see above.

4. The protesters are too focused on protesting. 

  While they're not doing drugs, pooping on sidewalks, dying from overdoses, raping each other, banging drums.
  Yeah, they're too focused.
