Tea Party and Occupiers Should Come Together Against Establishment

I’ve been thinking about the “Occupy” movement and the Tea Party. I’ve been giving some thought to the corrupt Democrat and GOP party.

I’m not sure if people are seeing the potential for historical relevance that the Tea Party and Occupy movements are having on the political discord in this country.

As crazy as it sounds I think it is conceivable that the Tea Party and Occupy movements will one day merge into something far bigger than the establishments want to admit.

I think that is why the GOP was quick to subvert the Tea Party and is why the Democrats have quickly embraced the Occupiers.

The “establishment” Dems and GOP are not that different. They want the status quo. Spending on wars and military and entitlements.

At the core, the Tea Party nor the Occupiers want this. I think the average Occupier want the government out of their lives just as much as the Tea Partiers.

It may appear that the Occupiers want more government but I’m beginning to believe that is just media bias. The media, big business and big government all seem to want the same thing: status quo.

They are also extremely scared of the changes that could happen if the Tea Party and Occupiers are not folded into the establishment tents.

Want to see the establishment completely shit themselves? Have the movements come together for an accord.

Finding My Way in an Upside Down World

A couple of you might know me from my rants as “South of the Mason Dixon” on Jake Gint’s blog. I enjoy The Senator’s musings and find a kinship with his particular leanings. This blog will continue the tone.

I spent too much time trying to come up with a title for this blog. I’m not creative that way. I chose Survive This because at this time in my life I am simply trying to survive. Survive what you ask?

I am not a Democrat, liberal, Islamist, socialist, Marxist, anarchist or communist. If you are not bent in those ideologies then the world feels like it is being destroyed. My country, the U.S., is being dismantled from the Republic that was formed by the brightest men that have ever tread this land. I like the freedoms and liberties that are provided in our Declaration of Independence from tyranny and the Constitution.

If you simply want to live free then you are in survival mode. Your hope is that you can “survive this”. Our government is under attack from within. All Presidents in the last 50 years govern as an executive tyrant. The judicial system is complicit in tearing down the Constitution. The legislature is a whore to special interests as a means to firm up their power.

I have little to nothing to offer financially. I do not trade stocks. I suck at it. I parrot the actions from the talent within The PPT. I don’t buy burritos. I don’t speculate. I buy good companies with growth or that pay me to be involved. I love resource companies because the world is growing and the poor want what the middle class have.

I buy and hold. I do have a point, usually 8%, where I will pull the plug and take the loss. I actually like investing in a company. I invest in things that make sense to me. SLB, BHI are stocks that I was buying on the way down. The U.S. may not want to drill and use oil but the rest of the world do not have that stupid-ass thinking.

I like dividend re-investing. I like accumulating shares of a stock like JnJ when it hit a yield around 3.5-4%. Same with PG or INTC. Companies that have little hope for growth but will spew copius amounts of cash. And generally are insulated from huge market downdrafts by a ripening yield.

I won’t get rich this way, but I sleep well and suspect I will retire comfortably.

Hopefully I will have something to offer on this blog that a few people will want to peruse. Thanks for reading.
