Ham Muffins and a Union Guy
61Step It Up!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Monday, November 7, 2011. The Occupy Wall Street debacle is ongoing and growing more dangerous by the minute. If you rely upon the mainstream media to give you a clear picture of events, forget about it. They will spoon feed you only what they want you to know in order to stick to their goal of indoctrination and brainwashing. Before I go on and on, let's pause for a moment to prepare a delicious breakfast of Ham Muffins.
You will need 1 box of cornbread muffin mix, 1 egg, 1/3 cup milk, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 cup cooked chopped ham and 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard.
Mix cornbread mix and dry mustard and set aside. Mix egg, oil and milk together and add to dry ingredients. Stir until moistened. Pour into muffin tins and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. This amount makes about 9 muffins. Make yourself 9 Bloody Marys to complement the dish.
There are countless numbers of people who are quite unhappy about all this disruption happening around the country. The businesses near the protests aren't happy because they are on the verge of closing for good. The residents aren't happy about the protests because their neighborhoods are being trashed and living near these protesters has become dangerous. Hard working people aren't happy about the movement because these "protesters" don't believe in hard work at all. They are takers and whiners and this does not sit well with people who actually possess a work ethic.
Some people, however, are quite happy about this "movement". President Obama must be happy about it all because in keeping with his mentor, Alinsky, this is the crisis he has been waiting for. It isn't really a stretch to suggest that he, in fact, caused it. The Democrats, of the Nancy Pelosi variety, must be happy because they think that this group of misguided thugs represents America. Mayor Bloomberg must be happy, because he has allowed this disaster to continue. It goes without saying that anti-semites, communists, nazis and socialists are quite happy about the movement. After all, this is what they live for.
I'd like to introduce you to one other person who is very happy about the protests and would like to see them escalate. Meet Leo Gerard, the boss of the United Steelworkers Union. Mr. Gerard would like these protests to move out of the park and into the city proper. He wants to see his union members take an active part in his plans. He has proposed that his members become aggressive and militant. His plan calls for protesters to seize bridges thus making it impossible for goods to come in or out of the city. He has also proposed that the protesters, along with his union guys, seize the banks as well. He is endorsing vandalism and violence and I believe we are getting near the point when this disaster will become a reality. There will be violence in the streets and all those "happy" people I mentioned earlier will be able to enjoy the fruits of their indifference and labors.
This has gone on long enough. The part of the country that pays their taxes and allows losers in the park to sponge off of them need to get a voice and make it clear that they have had it. Clear the parks and return these areas to the residents who live and work there. Jail all of the occupiers, if necessary, but get them out. Hold people like Leo Gerard accountable for promoting violence. Do the same for President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg and every member of Congress who has kept silent about the disaster being played out in plain sight. Clear the parks and clear the air...POP...

Good morning Tom,
What are they waiting for, a full scale civil war? See you at the Inn, Tom.
What I don't understand about the protesters is how they are able to stay there for so long. Who is paying for their basic needs? I've seen interviews of many of the people there, and it seems like they all have their own reasons for being there. "Big businesses are greedy"... so what? Work your way up to be a CEO and change their policies. What they are doing is hurting their own local economies even more. I know they are trying to occupy to get results, but it is truly only hurting their cause because it's making anyone who might have considered their cause hate them now.
The pigs who are protesting are takers who add no value to society. The unions supporting these people are just thugs. If they shut down the economy they lose their pensions (but the union bosses won't). The people in congress who are saying nothing are just as bad as the unions supporting these jerks. THe president is just as bad. He is loving this! The police should come in with water canon and drive these idiots out of the city. Don't let any of them into the bar. BARTENDER......
Good morning Phoebe,
The unions are paying for a lot of the expenses, in addition to private donors. They have the backing of the American Communist Party, The American Nazi Party and the Socialist Party. All they have accomplished is the destruction of a neighborhood and the death of small businesses in the area. What a waste and a disgrace. See you at the Inn.
Good morning taxlarry,
The stakes have been upped and the potential for horrible violence is in the air. The president and all those who support this group are going to regret that support. See you at the Inn where common sense and decency prevail.
I agree with you completely! It is time to clean it up. I heard on the morning news that in NYC that some homeless people tried to get the crowd to share some food with them and they were denied. Who are they trying to help anyway? This Leo Gerrard ought to be behind bars! I think violence is inevitable if nothing changes soon.
POP - I understand there is some extra space at Guantanimo, I would bet the Marines down there could make some space for them, and they'd be in the company of some stimulating like minded folks. Might be worth the taxpayer dollars to house them and if they want real change we could just open the gate and let Cuba have em. See ya at the Inn I'm buying tonight.
Good morning Pamela,
Isn't it amazing, these protesters refused to share their food with the homeless. Is it because they were asking for something for nothing? Ironic. The violence has already begun and It is going to get much worse . See you at the Inn. It's peaceful there.
POP: Leo Gerard is a union thug, and loves to egg on these protestors, and re-payment for feeding these protestors is to ask for violence and vandalism. Most of the occupied areas look like slums now. POP, you are so correct - where is the outcry from the taxpayers and Congress? I would pull all the port-a-potties out of the area and not pick up any garbage until they finally left the area. If I was a business owner, I would get some names, and the sue them for my loss of income. These "children" need to grow up and act responsibly.
I am sick of this. I'm off to the bar - no protestors allowed - someone save me a seat.....
Good morning Hmr,
What a brilliant idea! I love it! I think the protesters would love it too. They would have three meals a day, some exercise and a chance to live off the government. See you at the Inn. I think you should share your idea with everyone. I'm buying.
Good morning Pino,
I don't think not having a potty would deter these people. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig! See you later. Speaking of pigs, lets order ribs at the Inn.
Morning Pop...The Occupy Boston group has occupied the Israeli consulate...What does that have to do with Wall Street corruption they claim they are protesting..?
This is a total load of crap and someone had better get a set and clean this mess up or people are going to be killed in the next wave of pack violence...
See you at the tavern, Pop...Pino is bringing Molotov cocktails, not for throwing, but for drinking...Larry
Pop
I’ll opine with a little one verse ditty that best sums up union involvement throughout this country; this parity is sung to the tune of Look for the Union Label!
Look for the Union label
If you want something for nothing like us
For we are lazy
And we are rotten
And we are worthless
And we will sue the pants right off you
Look for the Union label
If you want something for nothing like us
If you don’t look for
The Union label
Then we will throw you right under the bus
Dear maven,
I guess if you are an anti-semite, the Israeli consulate would make a good target. The violence is here and it will get worse. I'll see you at the Inn. I never had a molotov cocktail. Are you sure you can drink it!
Dear Patriot,
Are you sure we are still living in the U.S? I mean, it doesn't feel like that at all. Could this be Greece? Inquiring minds want to know. Tell me later at the Inn.
Now we learn that Obama's ACORN has been working behind the scenes all along, along with the SEIU union thugs (Both ACORN and SEIU were founded by the same man...Wade Rathke). The money man is George Soros (again) and the coordination comes from moveon.org. All are far left, of course, and all have direct ties to Obama.
The protestors want wealth redistribution, so that they will get free tuition, rent, food, and subsidies.
In other words, they are the same socialist leeches who are currently rioting in Greece because the government trough is about to be turned off.
POP...The drink is served with attached fuse which you ignite...the object being to drink the cocktail before the lit fuse reaches the alcohol, otherwise you will be meeting Mr Molotov in person...Sounds like fun...Oh, the ingredients are: 1 oz of hanging chad, soaked with 2 oz of ethanol, flavored with 3 oz of Biden's hair tonic...sound tasty..?...Larry
The Right is wrong but organized and pledged allegiance to the cause of the right. The left is right but unorganized and pledge allegiance to the flag.
"The Right is wrong but organized and pledged allegiance to the cause of the right. The left is right but unorganized and pledge allegiance to the flag."
Typical, meaningless hyperbole.
The protestors are, in fact, far left socialists, supported by the far left, and demanding the destruction of the capitalism that made America great. Just read the signs and hear what they are demanding.
I have zero respect for that.
Will...
Speaking of signs...did you notice that Tea Party signage is usually handwritten and original, while the Occupy folks have spanking new, printed signage, obviously supplied by SEIU, Acorn, and others from the Soros camp...Larry
Hi, Larry,
Yup! The left has been trying to sell this as a leaderless, spontaneous, grass roots movement, but that rock has been turned over to reveal the usual far-left maggots, like Soros, ACORN, SEIU, and moveon.org.
The protestors are, for the most part, simple-minded, useful idiots. Americans are now turning against the protestors.
Will, What's the difference in meaningless hyperbole and your comments? Are all opinions meaningless hyperbole?
I think my Hyperbole was a simple fact.
Dear Will,
All the usual suspects are behind this latest fiasco. Obama's election was the first one, in my view. I believe that Obama and the Dems will come to regret their outspoken support of this protest. It will turn a lot uglier and I expect that many of the supporters will start running for cover. See you at the Inn.
Dear maven,
It sounds like a blast!
Dear Junko,
I can't believe that you can look at these protests and find any meaning in them whatsoever. Do you want to see capitalism fall? Do you approve of the violence? Are you aware of who is behind them? Do you think socialism is better for our nation?
"Do you want to see capitalism fall? Do you approve of the violence? Are you aware of who is behind them? Do you think socialism is better for our nation?"
Good questions, and I suspect the answer is a resounding "yes!"
Pop, The American people have many reasons to protest at this time. I can't look at these protest and find a pertiular unifing reason, but I've heard jobs and the lack there of is felt by all Amercans Right and Left. The class warfare elements is because millions of Americans who were making it with less for years, are asked to do without jobs and the hope of jobs in the near future. Yes, "the Natives are restless'' and unorganized, Capitalism must be amended and I think violence in self defense is justifiable.
POP: Molotov Cocktail: 1 1/2 OZ Vodka, splash of 150 proof Rum! Very easy to make. Get ready for tonight!
"Do you want to see capitalism fall? Do you approve of the violence? Are you aware of who is behind them? Do you think socialism is better for our nation?"
You won't get a straight answer. All you'll get is evasive mumbo-jumbo.
Columbus OH wouldn't issue permits for the parks, so it's pretty quiet here. But I cannot sanely envision protestors and union members seizing the NYC bridges. This is a horror movie.
My Bad Will,Straight Answer Will, Do I want to see capitalism Fall? My answer is simple, No. I have witness the affect of failed falling capitalism the last few years. Do I approve of THE violence?? no, I don't support violence by the people or law enforcement. Do I know who supports them? No, but I know the right and left, north and south all have and had financial supporters. Do I think socialism is better for our Nation? I think Americanism is a mixture of all the ISM'S plus Capitalism
"No. I have witness the affect of failed falling capitalism the last few years."
Really? Explain how capitalism has failed, and be specific.
The current crisis is the direct result of socialized home loans to those who could not afford a home, facilitated by socialist Democrats.
Socialism failed, not capitalism!
The rest of your 'straight answer' is more mumbo-jumbo:
Question: Do I think socialism is better for our Nation?
Non-answer: I think Americanism is a mixture of all the ISM'S plus Capitalism
To be specific During the Obama Presidency Capitalism has not been practice in America. The current crissis is a direct result of unregulated capitalism. Because the Government was defrauded by Wall Street's manipulation of the poor and ignorant and Fannie and freddie were the fall guys.. Capitalism and Greed not Socialism caused this crissis.
@Junco...Who do you think had oversight for Freddy and Fannie..?...Democrats Barney Frank and Chris Dodd...Clinton pushed for low or non-down payments to get unqualified people into homes mortgaged by these folks...Get your head out of your butt and look around at the real world...Dem congress created and exacerbated the housing debacle...Stop drinking the Kool-ade and do your own research...Larry
"To be specific During the Obama Presidency Capitalism has not been practice in America. The current crissis is a direct result of unregulated capitalism."
Two sentences that directly contradict one another!
"Because the Government was defrauded by Wall Street's manipulation of the poor and ignorant and Fannie and freddie were the fall guys.. Capitalism and Greed not Socialism caused this crissis."
On the contrary, those financial institutions and banks were pressured to make these loans by Freddie, Fannie, and the Community Reinvestment and Fair Housing acts, all created by Democrats! Learn your history please.
Yes, there were those who took advantage of the Democrat promise to buy up the toxic debts, but that could not have happened without Democrat meddling in the housing market!
Junko,
Nothing can replace capitalism done right. Yes, we can certainly tweak many things but our system is the only one that has ever succeeded. As for this group in the parks, they are actually being used by people who are looking for chaos and crisis. As for class warfare, what an ugly thing to promote. We can thank the president for that and he ought to be ashamed. When these protests turn even more violent, will he and everyone applauding the protesters take responsibility. I say no! Wall Street and corporations didn't cause our problems. The government did and then things started to spiral out of control. When you force banks to make risky loans to people because you believe everyone should own a home (think Clinton) you start society on the road to economic doom. You should only own a home if you can afford to pay the mortgage. If you take out student loans to go to school, pay them back and stop asking for bailouts. The protesters are a dismal example of how low people can sink when they refuse to take responsibility for themselves. We are becoming Greece. Is this okay with you? I ask you again, is it socialism you want?
Dear Pino,
Order me several, I am on my way!
Dear Will
You're right. For many people straight answers to honest questions are out of the question.
Dear Patty,
It most certainly is a horror movie and a badly executed one at that. This nightmare is spinning out of control and it never had to come to this. Rape, destruction of property, filth, dope and rats. That's what this movement has produced. See you at the Inn, Patty. I'll save you a seat.
Thanks, Larry, I'm not saying the Democrats, and the Republicans, along with the Mortage Bankers that support their candicies didn't profit and know about fraud of the American people. MY head isn't in my butt is yours where it should be? not if he stop suddenly. The American people didn't cause this crissis. You, Will, and I know where the fault really lies, and who lies.
I enjoyed it my Fellow Americans Have one on me, my tab is paid up. God Bless America.
"The American people didn't cause this crissis."
A straw man...no one said they did!
The Democrat party and their Fannie/Freddie/CRA/Fair Housing meddling led directly to this crisis. As usual, it was government!
The crissis we have today was created by the Republican-Tea Party as a faust alarm to make Obama a one term president. The mortage crissis, both parties were bought by Wall Street it was the good cop bad cop act. Your understanding is better than you pretend, quit faking .
Unbelievable ignorance.
Will Star, Land Baron, Educated x military aviator, and a Know it All about America and politic in America on HUBPAGES, because you are Will Star. It's easy to be disrespectful to a man who don't agree with you on hubpages. You can be down right insulting, safely. This is America and I don't have to agree with you to not be insulted by you. This is how I roll, I respect Everybody, first, I give it up, it's not that I fear any man. I fear Myself, because I give respect I will also demand respect from any man or men. Since the thought of you being wrong and not right when commenting with a liberal lefty cause you get angry and anger cause a man to loose his mind. I'll just respect you on the way out by agreeing with you that ignorance is painful.
"The crissis we have today was created by the Republican-Tea Party as a faust alarm to make Obama a one term president."
Utter nonsense. The crisis developed before Obama was elected and long before the Tea Party even existed.
That, sir, is a fact.
"The crissis we have today was created by the Republican -Tea Party as a faust (false) alarm to make Obama a one turn President". I am referencing The Debt ceiling Crissis, The critical need to stop Government Spending on Obama's policies and Presidency. Not the two wars and Military Spending, the crissis there is stop the Government from cutting spending on the Military Industrial Complex The crissis i was referencing was concieved when Obama recieved the democratic Nomination for President. It was then realized the Republican brand was tainted and the Republicans gave birth to the Tea Party and the White House was infested with crissis after crissis. That's not nonsense,that my opinion, and you don't have to agree with me, I really don't expect you to agree, but thats all right with me, Will. It takes all kind of people to make a world. .
The funny thing about this whole occupy movement is how hopeful the left is, and has been that THIS, the occupy movement, is their counter to the T.E.A. party thing. Some of them even talk about it like that. The reality is that this is a disaster. The reality is that these are NOT the voices of true Americans. The reality is that these protesters have little or no experience inside the system they are so dead set against. The reality is that THIS IS the left. At it's most extreme. THIS IS what socialism looks like, and what it looks like when socialists aren't getting what they want.
I DO find it strange, as well, that the president has been virtually silent on this issue—well, except when he tried to explain their plight as well. It's, as you pointed out Pop, gotten very out of hand, and something's going to have to give. Hmm. Maybe "give" is the wrong word. That's why they're there? The occupiers. Because they want it ALL given to them.
Good morning Springboars,
I heard a young woman this morning describe her one night in the park. She said , in her view, this protest was all about sex, drugs and other forms of violence. She didn't encounter one person who had a good reason for being there. To even suggest that these losers are like the Tea party is criminal. The Tea Party was a peaceful, thoughtful expression of democracy. The most violent thing that occurred was a hot bowl of chile!
The NYC park protesters are like little children: Gimme, gimme, gimme. I want to go to college, but I don't want to pay for it. I want to be fed, but I don't want to earn money. I want a home but I want it given to me. Wait a minute, did I say they are like little children. Wrong! Little children have more sense!
Dear drbj,
I agree, little children do have more sense. Most of these fools are so high they have no idea where they are!
lol Pop. Your last comment finds me looking for a "like" button, only this isn't Facebook. D'oh. But it's a perfect statement to describe the state of mind of ANY of these people, high or not.
They are all fools. If they aren't high on some substance, they're definitely high on stupidity. And no, they do not know where they are, why they are, and probably can't even spell capitalism.
Have you seen this Youtube clip yet? What these deluded OWS simpletons don't know and fail at the most basic understanding of would fill several oceans!
You be simultaneously amused and disgusted.
Former Soviet Citizen Takes on OWS Ignoramus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gaknDr3hZg&featur
Mark Twain &/or Samuel Clements (with him one is never quite sure which one said what and oft both said the same thing differently) observed "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Apparently no place is this truer than with the OWS crowd!
ha. 9 bloody mary's? Nice Hub my friend!
The Occupy movement is the epitome of what it means to be American. First amendment rights insure the citizens of this great country a voice and a right to use that voice. NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE made their fotune by themselves. They used an educated workforce that I helped pay for with my tax dollars to build their products. They are protected by police and fireman that I help pay for with my tax dollars against luting and crime. They ship those products on roads and bridges that I help pay for with my tax dollars. Many of them recieve subsidies that I help fund with my tax dollars. There is a social contract in this country whereby those who make their fortunes here must pay it forward so the next person with a great idea can get the same assistance with a hand up not a hand out. There is nothing socialist about that. It is called "doing the next right thing". Social security is nothing less than a pension fund in which people pay into their entire lives there is nothing of entitlement about it. Do you feel the civil rights movement was out of line? The protest against the Veitnam war? The Sufferagetts? Protesting has evoked many changes throughout the history of this country. What could be more American than that?
good comments, CLKF
Good morning Springboard,
I'm home from vacation and now I hear that all over the country, the protesters are being told to get out! I guess the mayors are tired of the stench and the violence. I'm sure it's not over because people like Van Jones would love to see the chaos continue.
Good morning Lethal Leprechaun,
Thanks for the link. I will definitely check it out. As for Mark Twain, well his words and observations remain priceless.
Good morning PDX,
Why not? If one is good, nine must be better!
Dear ClLKF,
I agree that we all have the right to protest. This movement however was fostered by forces in this nation that seek crisis and chaos and certainly not the kind of change that would be good for America. Having said that, I support their right to peaceful protest. However, this movement has spawned violence. It has cost the city, aka the taxpayers of NYC, 17 million dollars, destroyed small business and disrupted the lives of families who live in the area. That's not protest, that's just trouble and it is time for it to end.

I agree with you 100%. The citizens of The Big Apple should start a recall for Bloomberg!!!!!!!!!
