It’s Monday. Time to Occupy again.
Last week’s edition: Occupy Monday 6/16/14 Edition: Workers ‘Rights’ and Occupy Monday 6/16/14 Arrests
15 people were arrested. I’ll have a separate rundown of this in the morning.
Let’s recap what Occupy Monday is about and why it will die just like regular Occupy:
#MoralMonday has 2 goals: beat the snot out of republicans, even if they’re right and expand big gov’t in every direction possible.

#MoralMonday is nothing more than a Leftist temper tantrum at being out of power; it’s occupy reborn and it will die just like the original. — LL1885 – A.P. Dillon (@LadyLiberty1885) June 23, 2014
Why will #MoralMonday die like occupy? Because you don’t gain control over the self at the cost of another or by the hand of big gov.

On To The Sit-In. Stand-In. Teach-In. Plan-In. Pray-In.
Today’s Occupy was no different from any other. The title of this one was “Sit-In. Stand-In. Teach-In. Plan-In. Pray-In.” We saw standing, questionable teaching, some praying but the sitting and planning part -?
There was of course a lot of hypocrisy, calls for more spending, ridiculous signs, big government as our Saviour and Occupy staples like “teach-ins”. That “teach-in” consisted of showing people how to register others to vote.
Given the recent protesters who were arrested had multiple prior criminal records among them, I’d think twice about letting an Occupy Monday person register you to vote.
Behold, the “fierce urgency of NOW”… or something.
Recurring themes included non-workers, foreign non-workers, something about mental health and the introduction of costumes.We’ll get to the costumes bit a later on.
Also in today’s mob rule demonstration, were tweets that can only be described as hostile. Including one person who called me a bitch. I’m also paid to do it. I wish! Hey, #WarOnWomen from the “big tent” party:
Oh my #WarOnWomen isn’t very Moral of you => @ManOnTheRadio: @NCBlondes Paid TROLL for sure!! Did I mention Bitch?? @LadyLiberty1885

Let’s head to Twitter for more of the highlights. View my Storify article for a full run down of the activity on Twitter, including tweets from citizens who are fed up with Moral Monday circus.
One of the themes today was non-workers… and pirate costumes:

And now for a trip BACK to reality:
Dear #MoralMonday, you do realize Hagan cut off Medicaid right w/ her #Obamacare vote right? You do realize what 10% of 13 billion is right? — LL1885 – A.P. Dillon (@LadyLiberty1885) June 23, 2014
Corporate taxes in an easy to understand pic for #MoralMonday. They want to raise the rate how much? #ncga pic.twitter.com/1ucsuHPlLJ — T Bradley (@TBradleyNC) June 23, 2014
It’s called “The Peoples’ House” because we elect its representatives… not because you want to scream at the #NCGA. #OneToGrowOn #ncpol

In a representative republic, @workclassjane, we elect people to make these decisions. The people deciding won their elections. You did not. — Pete Kaliner (@PeteKaliner) June 23, 2014
