A Tea Party activist named Melissa Brookstone has decided that she is fed up with the President and his policies so she is going to do her best to help tank the economy.

Resolved that: Our President, the Democrats-Socialists, most of the media, and most of those from Hollywood, have now encouraged and supported "Occupy" demonstrations in our streets, which are now being perpetrated across the globe, and which are being populated by various marxists, socialists and even communists, and are protesting against business, private property ownership and capitalism, something I thought I'd never see in my country, in my lifetime.

I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.

I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased.

Yes. This proud American has vowed to do her part to further destroy the economy because she doesn't like President Barack Obama.

It isn't as though she has this opinion in a vacuum. Here is a screengrab of a few comments from her post.

Of course, this shouldn't be a surprise. When CNN asked people "In general, do you hope that Barack Obama’s policies will succeed or do you hope that his policies will fail?" 51% of Republicans voted for failure. 66% of independents and 67% of Americans overall want Obama's policies to succeed. But the majority of Republicans want his policies to fail.

The only two Obama ideas polled that are opposed by Republicans are an increase of unemployment benefits and tax hikes on those over $250,000. Meanwhile, 58 percent of Republicans support cutting the payroll tax for all workers; 63 percent of Republicans support federal aid to states to hire teachers and first responders; 56 percent support federal spending on infrastructure; and 56 percent of Republicans support raising taxes on millionaires.

But when asked about Obama policies, Repblicans want them to fail. Go figure.

Some Republicans like Eric Cantor are even trying to actively make money off the collapse of the economy.

But honestly, as much as Republicans love making money this is more about scoring political points and taking over the government to remake America in their own image.

Earlier this year, Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow noted:

"In cynical political terms, it doesn't serve them if things turn around (in the economy)." Sen. Stabenow said, "They want our country to fail to win an election, and they're willing to take the people of this country with them."

Two weeks ago, Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain stated "Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself."

Last night, he reiterated the same point...and of course, the audience cheered.






Don't mistake this for all conservatives. That isn't the case at all. But there are some conservatives, and many in the Republican party, who actively want this country to fail and fail hard. And they are doing everything in their power to make that happen.
