Occupy Movement: The Duck Test

21 November 2011

2 Comments

This will probably be the last post on the Occupy movement for a long, long time…further proof that there is a God and He is merciful. This journey was about discovering not only what the group was about, but to hear it from those participating. I wanted to believe they truly wanted to represent the [...]

Occupy Groups…What Do You Want?

18 November 2011

9 Comments

In my engagement with a local Occupy group, we’ve had some good dialog. I’ve tried to be open to the dialog, and at this blog have not yet had any need to not approve any comments. I think I’ve done a fair job of providing my perspective, though some of that will be forthcoming: I’m [...]

Visiting Occupy Tacoma…

12 November 2011

Today was the day. After receiving the invite, I brought the two oldest kiddos with me for a visit to the encampment and talk with the occupiers about what the movement is about. The bringing of the kids was partly strategic, partly logistic. The strategic part came from my own personal experiences counter-protesting in 2003 [...]

The Invite from Occupy Tacoma…

6 November 2011

0 Comments

My comments about Occupy Tacoma have caught some attention. And it is true–I’ve made some assumptions about Occupy Tacoma without having visited myself, but these assumptions are completely baseless, but have been formed from the reports of the actions of other Occupy groups, as well as my personal experience counter-protesting similar groups in 2003 in [...]

More on Occupy Tacoma…

30 October 2011

So since my previous posts about Occupy Tacoma (actually, more specifically about the effectiveness of it and similar “organizing” actions in our old neighborhood), there’s been some really interesting traffic to the blog. Some folks have gotten, well, almost obsessive in looking through the blog… Let’s add to that, shall we? Here is a video [...]

Update on the Occupy Tacoma Saga…

Original post here, for those that haven’t been paying attention. Also make sure to read the comments. And do your penance here. But let’s circle back to the topic at hand. Seems my email and posts yesterday caused some small amount of ruckus, because blog hits in the area were way up, and as you saw in [...]

Tacoma’s Occupiers…Must Not Criticize

26 October 2011

14 Comments

So earlier today I got an email from a self-appointed leader of our former neighborhood group when we were in Tacoma. (Have been getting these types of neighborhood updates, despite being gone a year now.)  This forwarded email was from someone within the #OccupyTacoma group, detailing the march coming up this Saturday. It fired me [...]

A Biblical View on Class Warfare and the “Occupy” Movement

7 October 2011

I normally don’t use my blog for this sort of post, but after the events of the past few days and a particular post on Facebook that I engaged in, I knew it was necessary. Let me preface by admitting that I am not a fan of the vast majority of this so-called movement. First, [...]

Leadership, Obama-Style…

15 July 2011

Yes, I am going to go there. This is a political post. But as much as I want to comment, there’s little need. The President’s words speak for themselves today. So without further adieu, here they are: “I’m not going to get into specifics.” And even better, here’s what he thinks of the American people: [...]
