    LOL. You all have nothing. You are not supporting capitalism. You are Romney to my Paul. Neocons. Fake capitalists. Every single inch of our nation is hurting from lack of demand. And it will just get worse as banks shut down debt, because they know it will never be repaid. There is more to capitalism then just the top doing whatever they want, using a large state apparatus as their tool of the trade.

    So what's your solution? Wealth redistribution? Sounds like capitalism to me.

    No one disagrees about crony capitalism. But let's be honest, the democrats are the party of crony capitalism and these fools at OWS just want a handout. If they were really for the free market they'd be tea partiers.

    Yeah, whatever Drop, you have finally arrived at cuckoo land, time to get off the train and say good bye to reality.

    Paul has as much chance at being elected president as the guy who mows my lawn.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) redistribution, nationally and globally. Our national government was chartered with a very small, selected few powers. One of them is to protect our national sovereignty. If our forefathers wanted free trade with foreign nations, they would have implemented it. It is not a new idea. They didn't even want to align with any foreign nations. I see no reason to even claim we are a nation without economic sovereignty.

    Looks like I am your worst nightmare because I actually read what you claim supports your assertions.

    The challenge I made to you:

    Now the first quote you gave:

    Nothing on the banks or Obama. You spend the majority of the post telling everyone you hate all the GOP Candidates.

    Fail

    Next

    Here you rail against Obama but again you FAIL to attack him for what was challenged to you: His support by the banking system or his failed economic record. This post was only about Obamacare which has detractors on both sides and it doesn't answer the challenge given to you.

    I don't know who you have been debating in the past but when I challenge you to back up what you claim I will read what you claim supports you.

    Neither of these posts shows any condemnation of Obama for the banking system or his economic record which is the subject here in this thread.

    Now either go back and actually find the quotes you claim exist that answer the challenge or run away. Your choice.

    Yeah, I'm going to dig through 100s of posts, HOPING I find one where the thread is exactly the same as this thread, to meet your unreasonable criteria, to claim some bogus victory. My God, this is really all your got? Can't attack the merit of anything I have posted. Look up logical fallacies. Your debating skills are that of a 12 year old.

    This is my belief. This is my fight. When the global regime is the problem, there is no point singling out Obama, or Bush, or Clinton, or Greenspan, or Kissinger. They are all part of the problem. Every time I say globalists, I assure you, it is not "except Obama". LOL

    I couldn't resist. Drop (no pun intended) out of your community and be an isolationist and see what happens. You can have all the moral fortitude you want, but when you fail to participate, you will get what you get. Drop out and see what happens.

    Then this country is doomed due to the banking system.

    As I outlined in this thread:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/current-events/212216-what-occupy-should-about.html

    If the sheeple would actualy wake up and realize what is going, Ron Paul would win in a land slide.

    It is all perspective BB. And at least I can take comfort as long as people like you are within the system, socialism can't take over outright. I just simply believe we could have it back. America. Independent. Kicking ass and taking names. I would rather our troops were locking down Mexico and making it ours, over holding down Iraq for Russian and Chinese oil contracts. People are waking up. Slowly but surely. Just takes time.

    That's what I thought. You are all talk and no facts. Next time don't shoot your mouth off if you can't back it up.

    The factions of capitalism know what they are. Know what they believe, and fight accordingly. I watch leftists say the growth of China is proof of the success of communism in one thread, and then when something wrong is pointed out, scream China isn't a communist country. Leftism is a billion people thinking their leftism is the only true leftism. No matter who is in power, that person wasn't a true leftist "because...because....because....". You will never hear a capitalist say, "that wasn't capitalism, that was Lincolnism, true capitalism has never existed...". Leftism is mush. The reason it won't die, and the reason it will never succeed. Don't let my arguments against the globalist version of my ideology allow any doubts to my resolve, or theirs.

    Hmmmm, I wonder what your definition of "leftism" is? Your above post seems pretty incoherent to me.

    If you are so against leftism, why do have a link to the very leftist Counterpunch website in your sig?

    I am a nationalist capitalist. I believe in protecting the American way of life. To do so means protectionism with underdeveloped nations. They all have protectionism and our companies still sell there, well what they can, as their markets are nothing compared to ours, even in a recession. But I also believe internally of dismantling the FED, the treasury printing our money interest free, the end of the IRS, massive deregulation outside of the basics such as child labor. The market would go from an employers market to an employees market over night. Federal minimum wage would be a joke. People who should be starting their own businesses would be, instead of regulated out of the game in favor of the large firms. Etc., etc. National capitalism is the only option. To believe otherwise is to go with programming over one's own gut instincts. I would give those who fancy themselves leftists a future to which they never dreamed, and those who are men of enterprise, opportunity that could never be matched by slave labor. Sidewalks of gold.

    Wow, thank you! I was afraid to look back into this thread. I come from a discussion board where any criticism of the OWS protests is interpreted as capitalist piggery lol.

    It's like this. Run your nation as a business.

    People pay more to get into the nicest hotels, not less than than worst, let alone for free.
    Same can be said for country clubs.
    Movie houses.
    Sporting events.
    Concerts.
    Etc.

    America has the world's greatest market, and people should pay to access it.

    Now, anyone who has worked a day in their life knows businesses suffer from a micro managing owner or manager. Yes you want to make sure brand standards are upheld, but other than that, trust your workers to do their job or let them quit or fire them. This should be businesses relationship with the state. Businesses aren't started with the purpose of failing. Let them do their thing and they will boom all on their own. Invent ways to streamline things and satisfy people like those in government could never dream of. Always make the opportunity for more available. Encourage them to do their best. And whatever you do, don't keep them around if they aren't doing their job.

    Most of those wanna be hippies of OWS hate capitalism. They somehow think they can get 300 million (USA) people to live like a 20 person commune, and they hate anyone with criticism of their goofy ideology. I actually think they have been to one too many Renaissance fairs.

    Thanks :) It's a political debate group on Facebook. I can't link you because it's 'secret'... you'd have to friend me and then I could add you to it. I have no problem with that, let me know if you are invested enough to bother, haha.

    No, they were not arrested. There were more than the photo I showed, but I don't know how many. One woman claimed she was sent to Belview and given drugs. I bet that is what she wanted anyway, a warm bed and to get high. I saw one girl explaining to an interviewer that she hadn't had sex with anyone yet, but her friend had sex under a blanket the night before. Another story I saw they were selling "medical" mariuana. There is no respect for the law or the police.
