“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Cicero

The MSM will be reporting discarded Chik Fil A cups and sandwich wrappers littering the ground.

What’s a BB-gun pellet? Is that like a AK-47-ICBM?


It’s more like an M-16 arrow.

Police also said they were following the protesters during the march.

"Following?" Why weren't they kicking some ass? Why do we employ them for protection if they won't break up lawlessness that's in front of them? Were they following to clean up with brooms and dustpans?

True .. but he not only wants strife, he wants riots; and insurrection .. giving Obama the opportunity to exercise his Martial Law EO.

And .. I think he wants it now .. he could stop the election .. forever, and he could declare himself permanent “Ruler”.

I don’t think our military would follow him .. but it’s just too horrible to think about.

"Unnamed source? "

It's at least at the level of a phone call from someone who should know.

If it was a Tea Party event, the first paragraph would be, “A Tea Party protest was taking place in the area at the time and it is likely many members were part of the vandalism spree.” But it was an Occupy protest so they mentioned them in the last paragraph below.

OAKLAND (KTLA) — Police say protesters marching through downtown Oakland smashed windows at a campaign office for President Barack Obama Friday night.

The group of more than 100 demonstrators was marching along Broadway around 9 p.m. when they smashed a window at Obama’s campaign office on 16th Street and Telegraph Avenue.

Police also said several car windows were smashed in as well.

An Occupy protest was taking place in the area at the time but it is unknown if any members were part of the vandalism spree.
