The 99% threaten Nancy Pelosi

  If you're a political junkie, you know that the only conversation lately has been the rambunctious Republican primary candidates' perormances.
  Seriously I really can't take much more of it.
  On one hand, we have lots of dour and sour Republican commentators claiming that "our A team is not on the field."
  Which is interesting, considering that several candidates have built highly successful careers creating jobs, which is the primary concern in the country right now, and which is why our current POTUS is going to be running on more class warfare, which is so healthy for the country apparently we need more of it. 
  This tactic is being employed by at least one other country's leader who claims that the protesters are no worse than greedy bankers.
  IBD tells us that the OWS movement is alive and well and driven by a miraculous "energy," not, apparently, all those union dollars that have sustained the movement, paid for Craigslist "volunteers," provided tents, food, hotel rooms...well, you get the picture.
Yes, America's youth are the voice of the 99%, Americans inspired by the Arab Spring revolutions. American youth are fueling "the greatest social-justice movement to emerge in the United States since the civil rights era." 
But never lose sight of the real war here. Yes, there's a war between the richest 1% of Americans who have seen their income grow 265% the past generation while the incomes of the other 99% have stagnated or fallen. Yes, the wealth gap is bigger now than it was in 1929 just before the market crashed.
  That article decries the 265% increase in wealthy incomes, without mentioning what it means to be "poor" in America, as defined by the class warriors.
  Did you know that 68% of the poor in America own personal computers? 84% have air conditioning? 76% own cell phones? 
  But the problem is that the wealthy, a diminishing group who are fleeing certain states and even the country, has had their incomes grow greater than the ninety nine percent.
  It's what others have, after all, and not what YOU have that you need to consider.
  In Nashville, America's youth, the 99%, who are, yes, still camped out, spent Christmas Day fighting, literally. 
  One of the protesters (the fattie, pictured here) claims to be pregnant which didn't seem to faze the woman who nailed her.
  IBD quotes the youthful protesters' Soros sponsored leaders' demands. Naturally they're excessive, punitive and "equalizing" in the sense that the producers' wealth will be transferred to the non-producers.
"(A) 'Robin Hood' tax on all financial transactions and currency trades; a ban on high-frequency 'flash' trading; the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act to again separate investment banking from commercial banking; a constitutional amendment to revoke corporate personhood and overrule Citizens United; a move toward a 'true cost' market regime in which the price of every product reflects the ecological cost of its production, distribution and use;" and they are in favor of "perhaps even the birth of a new, left-right hybrid political party that moves America beyond the Coke vs. Pepsi choices of the past."
  But I should point out here that the extremely rich politicians, our overlords, will be losing some cash in this deal too.
  Like Nancy Pelosi, for example, who is also vacationing in Hawaii at a $10,000 a night hotel. 
Pelosi spent the last two Christmas holidays in Kona at the same hotel in an elaborate suite that rents for $10,000 a night. 
The Four Seasons Resort Hualalai’s details its luxurious setting and amenities on its web site: “Gloriously revitalised, this natural tropical paradise offers more than ever to explore – with a newly expanded Spa, beachfront dining, fashion boutiques and new Deluxe Suites, in addition to Jack Nicklaus signature golf. Set on the Big Island’s exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast, this showpiece resort captures the essence of Hawaiian design, culture and tradition.”
  We already heard about Obama's $4 million vacation.
  But not Pelosi's, who cost local residents a few bucks ($34,000 per vacation) in security in the past because she's, you know, so important. 
  So, Nancy, you should know that the 99% are after you and your $10,000 sacrificial vacation.
  Relax.
  We're paying for your protection.
