talon: what do you think of the press and observers being banned from the expulsion from the park at 1:00 am?
Well in the case of NY, Zuccotti Park is a privately owned park. Plus, nowhere in the Constitution does it say you are entitled to anything other than what is in there. I don't see a clause in the 1st Amendment that says because you're protesting that someone has to provide food, shelter, and a lavatory for you.
---In other words "Me and mine are LEGITIMATE; you and yours are ILLEGITIMATE. There is no such thing as legitimate power, other than might is right. ---Whilst ordering pizza and catching the score of their favorite football team. I agree with you that OWS is far from a legitimate revolution.
Really? So when Eisenhauer had the wealthy taxed at 91% was he a socialist, anarchist and communist?? Do you even believe what you just said? Are you that bitter and angry at the world?? Protestors being beaten in the streets. Sounds sounds like another one of those "ist" words you mentioned. Except for it is FASCIST. These protestors are practicing their Democracy. Or have you forgotten how this country was founded. It was founded in large part, based on PROTEST!! Think back to the Boston Massacre and pay attention. Because thats what happens when people with guns/weapons start abusing people without them. Someone innocent gets hurt or killed and then you get a whole bunch of really angry people. I really hope that you are just joking around for shock value and that you really aren't as bitter as your last post made you sound. I mean that.
Some usage of facts might help you, the highest income rate was only on the very top amounts, not for all income earned. Read up on what a progressive income tax is. People are angry at the OWS for several reasons, including whining that they cannot obtain jobs to pay back student loans - who forced them to take out a loan in the first place? Or for the large proportion that of them that are not there as protestors, but to leech off of others, eating/living for free in NYC, and demanding this as a right, as well as expecting to be able to use local restaurant bathrooms as if they were entitled. Possibly the worst thing these morons have done is try to block people from getting to work, that is asking for getting their heads bashed in. If some 27-year old idiot/8-year program college student too lazy to get a job and get off of mama's couch tried to block me from earning a living and putting food on the table, they better hope the cops get to them first. Comparing lazy communists, far left morons, anarchists and vagrant/degenerates to George Washington is like comparing a pile of manure to a diamond.
lol.....You do realize that many of the founding fathers had liberal viewpoints dont you? I never mentioned George Washington though. I was talking about the protestors against the British. What is wrong with someone going to school for 8 years??? Why is that a bad thing to you? Because you weren't intelligent enough to do it? Or because you wish you would have? Dont take this as an insult its a serious question. I kinda want my doctors and lawyers to be as highly educated as possible. Im going to school for Psychology. Going after my Doctorate. Im also working full time and being a husband and father as well. And im *gasp* liberal!!! Does that mean that im stupid for going to school? Am I wasting my time? Does the fact that I need to spend 10 years in school to do what I want to do in life, somehow assault your sensibilities? Anyone who is blocking someone from getting to work is being a nuisance I agree..... Tell that to the UC Berkley students who got pepper sprayed in the face yesterday because they were protesting SITTING DOWN......NOT blocking ANYTHING. Conservatives......Always gotta try and talk about how tough they are!! lol. Always have to try and sound as heartless as possible. Its ok for the Tea party to rally with guns shooting into the air, and racist signs and racist chants. True HATE speech......But when anyone who isnt middle aged and white holds a protest they are "worthless". I love you Conservatives, I really do. You keep my life entertaining. Everything would be too effective, and everything would work too well if Liberals had complete control of this world. Everything would be peaceful and happy and efficient. You Conservatives keep life entertaining for me! lol. Im being serious too. I think that Conservatives are entertaining. They get SOOOOOOOO angry about anything that they dont agree with that it becomes humorous. Sadly the violence isnt funny, but the back and forth banter on here and the stuff at the Tea Party rallies and all that is really entertaining. In all seriousness though, next time a protestor tries to stop you from getting to work, please show them how tough you are and then post a video on here of you beating them up!!
Lots of strawman nonsense in this post, which is why I deleted much of it. I said GOING TO COLLEGE for 8 years, not college, then graduate school, etc. As in aimless idiots with no focus but expect others to take care of them and pay for their lives. Kind of like this moron: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrPGoPFRUdc"]Occupy Wall Street Protester Wants College Paid For Because That's What He Wants - YouTube[/ame]
Liberal in a controlled sense. They also believed in fiscal responsibility. That is why when the revolution was over, they did everything they could to pay off the $75 million (in their times figures) down ASAP. They might have been liberal, but only as liberal as their fiscal conservatism would allow.
The same thing happens in China, however, the goverment blocked the messages. I am afraid that the country's future will be damaged by the government. The will be one day the government of China, and the Communism Party in China breaking down immediately. I am nervous about the future of the country.
Occupy Oakland Calls for TOTAL WEST COAST PORT SHUTDOWN ON 12/12 http://occupywallst.org/article/occupy-oakland-calls-total-west-coast-port-shutdow/ Drum Circle headed to Bloomberg's Mansion.

What happens to a ' democracy ' with 99% communists ?
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/is-the-sec-covering-up-wall-street-crimes-20110817 read this and ask who our elected serve. OWS is giving a voice to the unspeakable and pulling the curtain back on these sleazoids that wrcked the economy for their own private gain.
That's the funny part. Calling yourself "99%" doesn't make you a majority any more than pretending you have a twelve inch penis makes you Ron Jeremy. The Occupiers don't represent 99% of anything. It's a sensationalist number they started using to try to make themselves appear bigger than they really are. They've been trying to use the rhetoric that everybody who is not a billionaire is on the same side. Meanwhile, a large section of the population is growing increasingly annoyed with these pesky protesters who are blocking up their streets and keeping them from going about their daily routines.
They're getting even more annoyed at being served foreclosure notices, severance notices and tax demands to prop up wars for and by the 1% who control the country's wealth- and thereby its policies. The 1% have turned the cops into a private army of minders, executioners and tax collectors - and you are bellyaching about a little civic inconvenience.
U.S. is the main terrorist in the world. That's what makes the White House right now, this is an ordinary fascism! We see what is happening in the Middle East, we see what is happening inside the U.S.. World on the verge of third world war. And the main instigator of the United States and Britain. Think of Hitler. Do you want the millions of victims? Americans! Common people! Fight! Do not allow yourself to cheat your government! America is not a free country!
You think the occupiers would object if someone moved into their tent or whatever homes they are vacationing from and setup home? We could call it a protest.
How do we know if that was an OWS protester or a homeless bum taken a dump on the side walk? We are only assuming it is OWS; there is no evidence to this claim in the video on the front page.
Whats the point of protesting when the government is going to say something just to get the crowds to go away and not fulfill their agreements. Those protesters are wasting their time. Plus our government lags so whatever they are asking for is going to take couple years to get passed. GO help out your community or do something else you all are acting like crackheads.
Russia is Hey your leader just discovered the medicine for AIDES, and he did it while breaking world record in diving and playing the violine at the same time Ohhhh, i wish we all had a leader like Putin, someone to look up to then you have the Arab countries who's best idea to some kind of freedom is religous law were everyone follow the Imam, It was America's democratic culture that caused the great USSR to collapse...
I totally agree with you!!! Since Protesting is a waste of time, maybe we all should just let our Govt do whatever it wants!!! Better yet, lets just all strip away our voting rights and lets just appoint a King!! Because clearly Democracy is a waste of time!! LOL....I dont mean to be sarcastic but seriously your point makes no sense at all. Yes helping people out is admirable, but if you believe in something you need to speak up and be heard!!
