    When protesters as dumb as dishwater attack Michele Bachmann, I know she is the right candidate for conservatives:

    About 30 people rose in unison and began shouting a scripted message during Bachmann's address aboard the USS Yorktown, a World War Two aircraft carrier.

    The group, which later identified itself as being part of Occupy Charleston, accused Bachmann of "dividing Americans" and promoting discrimination.

    The only fault I can find with Bachmann is that she did not say “Dam-n right I discriminate against big government advocates demanding tax dollar incomes.”

    Polling

    With all of the polling being done, I wish one of them would come up with an accurate number:


    After about three minutes, the protesters shouted: "Have a pleasant day," and marched out chanting "We are the 99 percent."

    It ain’t 99 percent. It ain’t even a majority. I’m not certain the OCCUPY EVERYTHING crowd represents the entire parasite class. Let’s face it, they are an embarrassment irrespective of who they represent.

    I got a laugh out of this next one:


    "We're Americans criticizing her. We're just getting our voices heard," said a young woman who wouldn't give her name. "She's getting her voice heard. Why can't I have my voice heard?"

    The young woman can buy a megaphone and a soapbox if she wants to be heard. Better still, she can run for office. The truth is: She wants access to the public airwaves for no other reason than to satisfy her own ego trip. There’s never been a self-important dumbbell in the history of the world who was not frustrated when ignored.

    I’ll close with a bit about Rick Perry.

    Perry could not name three bureaucracies he would shutdown. To be fair to Perry, nobody named the National Endowment for the Arts. That one should be right up there with the Department of Education and the EPA.

    Go to this link for the menu Perry had to choose from had he done his research:


    A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies

    http://www.shmoop.com/federal-burea...gov/Agencies/Federal/All_Agencies/index.shtml

    God, and educated parasites, are the only ones who know what the employees toiling away in unnecessary, unconstitutional, bureaucracies do every work day?

    I did not have the courage to cross-reference the bureaucracies in the above index with the new bureaucracies cited in 2009. I have no reason to doubt they were established by Hussein & Company after the healthcare bill became law:


    111 New Federal Bureaucracies Created by Pelosi Health Care Bill
    1:42 PM, Nov 2, 2009 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/11/111_new_federal_bureaucracies.asp

    The question: What happens to those bureaucracies if the healthcare bill is repealed or overturned? Before attempting an answer remember the inflexible rule in Washington: Never shutdown a bureaucracy or fire a bureaucrat.

    S.C. protesters disrupt Michele Bachmann speech

    MOUNT PLEASANT, South Carolina | Thu Nov 10, 2011 6:25pm EST

    MOUNT PLEASANT, South Carolina (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was about 10 minutes into a foreign policy speech in South Carolina on Thursday when she was drowned out by the shouting of protesters.

    About 30 people rose in unison and began shouting a scripted message during Bachmann's address aboard the USS Yorktown, a World War Two aircraft carrier.

    The group, which later identified itself as being part of Occupy Charleston, accused Bachmann of "dividing Americans" and promoting discrimination.

    "You cater to the 1 percent," they yelled.

    Bachmann stopped speaking and was escorted from the stage by law enforcement officers. After about three minutes, the protesters shouted: "Have a pleasant day," and marched out chanting "We are the 99 percent."

    "We're Americans criticizing her. We're just getting our voices heard," said a young woman who wouldn't give her name. "She's getting her voice heard. Why can't I have my voice heard?"

    The "Occupy" protesters, active in a number of cities in recent weeks, criticize economic inequality, saying the top 1 percent of Americans have too much wealth and power.

    Bachmann, a U.S. congresswoman from Minnesota, quickly returned to finish her speech.

    "Don't you love the First Amendment?" she said.

    Bachmann went on to criticize President Barack Obama for what she said was "a never-before-seen reduction of resources during wartime."

    "We oppose the administration's assault on national security," she said.

    But she also said the military can't be exempt from budget cuts and that military procurement procedures should be examined for wasteful spending. And she suggested cuts in health care benefits for military retirees.

    "Like the private sector, health care benefit costs for military retirees continue to rapidly increase," she said.

    Afterward, Bachmann told reporters the protesters who interrupted her had the right to do so. But she said they were "disrespectful and ignorant" to do it on Thursday, the 236th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps and a day before Veterans Day.

    "I just hope that someday they come to understand what's been done for them, how their liberties were paid for with a very heavy price by the people in that room," she said, referring to the veterans who attended the speech.

    Bachmann supporter Pat Hemberger didn't have much patience for the young protesters.

    "Not one of them pays taxes, and their parents are paying for their education," said Hemberger, who attended the speech. "I don't understand where they're coming from. They don't even have a job yet."

    The folks who attended the 11.11.11 rally in Washington represent every American except for a small handful of America-haters. It might not come to 99 percent, but itÂ’s close.
