Occupy Monday 6/23/14 Edition: Sit-In. Stand-In. Teach-In. Plan-In. Pray-In.

Posted on June 23, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

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

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 -?

Occupy Monday – The Final Countdown

Posted on June 21, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Diminishing returns. That’s Occupy Monday in a nutshell right now.

Turn out has been low and that’s being kind. Multiple arrestees had some nasty prior records. The public is tuning out their ‘big government is the answer, Amen!’ schtick. Local media coverage less than enthusiastic — even from the official Occupy Monday outlet, WRAL. National media has pretty much blown them off.

Maybe it’s the increasingly radical, hyperbolic rhetoric or perhaps it is because Moral Monday has truly morphed into what I’ve said it was all along: A revival of Occupy. It certainly would seem so given the announcement (scroll down)– “teach-in”. That’s very Occupyish. About the only things missing now are a drum circle, Mic-checks and someone relieving themselves in public.

Well we’re coming up on the final Moral Monday… we hope.

Occupy Monday 6/16/14 Arrests

Posted on June 17, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Arrested at Moral Monday yo!

Before we get into the list of the arrests, catch up on what went on by reading yesterday’s article: Occupy Monday 6/16/14 Edition: Workers ‘Rights’.

The Moral Monday Union Pals

Yesterday’s Moral Occupy Monday was packed with unions. Of note in attendance was The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). The attendance of AFGE likely sent chills up the legs of the NC Association of Educators and their protest arm, Organize2020, who desperately want to become a full-fledged union and ultimately kill NC public schools in the process. Take a gander at the “About” page at AFGE to see why; BFF’s with the AFL-CIO etc. Related read: Occupy Monday Agenda Would Cost $7 almost $10 Billion To Fund

Even with the influx of out-of-state union organizers there, attendance was sparse again.

Even Trumka got in on the Occupy act yesterday by tweeting the AFL-CIO’s video promoting civil disobedience:

#MoralMonday pushing ahead today, even in the face of bans on “imminent disturbance https://t.co/vqZA7yG6yE — Richard L. Trumka (@RichardTrumka) June 16, 2014

Not to be left out, the SEIU stood in solidarity with their Occupy Monday brothers and sisters.

The Arrestees & What The Local Media Won’t Tell You About Them

Here are the local Raleigh stories (below) which don’t really name any of the arrestees. ABC11 puts the number at ‘nearly 20’. In fact, it was 20. Nineteen arrested for 2nd degree trespass and one arrested for possession of pot. Continue reading →

Occupy Monday 6/16/14 Edition: Workers ‘Rights’

Posted on June 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

It’s Monday. Time to Occupy again.
This week’s protest brought to you by Unions. Workers rights are human rights, ya’ll. Expect buses. Lots of them.

Along with workers, Occupy Monday has added the poor, women AND people of color.

Very ‘big tent’ of them to specify which sections of society are allowed to have a complaint today. The rest of the taxpayers? Not so much. We just foot their bill.

NC Dems Officially Endorse Occupy Monday

Posted on June 16, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Reverend Barber is officially the leader of the NC Democrat Party now. The NC Democrats made an official resolution to support Moral Monday rallies. I am sure the few remaining centrists within the NC Dem party are thrilled. The more irrelevant they become, the more irrelevant and extremist they make themselves. I’m reminded of a quote:

“If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty.”
― Jonah Goldberg
