As I waited to board my plane out of DC, the one we were to take landed from Ohio.   As the passengers came off the plane and walked past us, I thought I recognized some of them.  They had this glassy eyed look; a smug expression; t-shirts with Marxist images; and dirty back packs.    I thought, “Where had I had seen them before?”  I boarded the plane for home and erased it from my head.  I had more important things to think about such as getting home to my family.

Yesterday was spent unpacking and readying for a night event on the beach with a group of conservatives who were retreating nearby.  Their mission was to decide how they could impact America in the next 12 months using the services they provide to Conservative organizations across the country.  As we sat around a bonfire on the beach, the full moon illuminated the ocean and the fire illuminated the faces of hopeful young people anxious to be a part of participating in efforts to protect freedom in America.  They spoke of their goals to assist educating others about our great nation and mobilizing more people to become involved in protecting Liberty.  As I drove home from the bonfire meeting, the full moon lit up the road ahead of me as if to guide me home safely.  I praised God for the moon and for this great group of people who love America.

When I woke up this morning, the full moon was still there shining brightly in our back yard.  It was comforting to see the light in the darkness.

The computer hummed waiting for me to check my emails.  As they downloaded I wondered what new news would await me from the many people out in America who keep me posted on breaking news. 

Dark images of young people lying on the sidewalks of NY began to appear on the screen.  Filthy sidewalks littered with trash and used condoms were everywhere.    Bare chested women with painted protest signs on their breasts walked among the crowd of glassy-eyed people.  More disgusting pictures loaded as I sat in stunned silence wondering why people would do this to themselves.  See pictures here:  Dirty Wall Street Protestors 

Then suddenly I saw them.  The group of Marxist t-shirt wearing young people could be seen in the crowd.  Again, I thought, “Where had I seen them before?”

As the next email opened, I thought about the differences between the dirty Wall Street Protestors and those who sat around the bonfire.  Those on Wall Street were using this opportunity for sex, drugs and hate-filled rhetoric directed at the wrong people.  Those around the bonfire were Liberty-loving young people who felt they carried the weight of America on their shoulders.  They strategized how best to keep Liberty secure and they did so with thoughtful discussion, strategic planning and moral ideas. 

The next two emails had the same forwarded message – “Make $350-650 a week “protesting” on Wall Street.”  The following ads were posted on Craigslist on 10/7/2011

The last article really got to me especially this statement,

“A very sophisticated, calculated, devious and diabolical plan is at work in these demonstrations; a seduction into class warfare and the loss of civility which will have a ruinous effect on our Nation.”

The differences between the two groups emerged again.  Near the bonfire, the sophisticated young people were not devious, diabolical and calculated.  They did not want to seduce anyone into class warfare and they were civil and hoped their plans would have a Liberty-awareness effect on our Nation. 

They showed love while those behind the Occupy movement showed hate.  That was the difference and that difference is big.

And that question loomed in my head again – “Where had I seen them before?”  Then I remembered.

They came out of nowhere in March of this year and occupied my hometown.  They came to assist in our local mayoral race with the candidate who eventually won.  They did not live here.  They did not have an investment here.  They did not care about my hometown.  They were paid to be here and had responded to another ad on Craigslist.  They were paid $350 a week, put up in a hotel and given food, cell phones and other “essentials.”   We caught them smoking pot as they held signs for the man who would become our Mayor.  

So this will be their strategy as we head to November 2012.  They will pay for people to stand on corners; pay for people to hold signs; pay for people to incite a riot or two; pay for people to create havoc; and pay for people to steal our liberties.

The “capitalists” behind the Occupy movement are paying to destroy America.

The “bonfire patrons” are planning their strategy to LIBERATE America.

I’m planning to offer my support to the Liberators of America.
