The interviewee fell down badly at the end with his comment about Solyndra. He needs to take his blinders off, corruption and malfeasance is never acceptable. Until then he presented his points better than most of the other protestors even if he came across as very partisan. I'm not saying he was right and his solutions wouldn't necessarily accomplish anything he wants, probably not. He'd probably still be part of the problem. But he could speak his thoughts clearly and wasn't annoyingly vague like many of the others.
Being critical of a news group allowing him to say what he wanted wasn't owning anybody.

Typical leftist class warfare by the numbers.


Love the union soldier cap glorifying Lincolns slaughter.
What about confederate flags and such that glorify the slaughter of Jefferson Davis?

What did Jesus tell the rich man that wanted to follow him?

You seem to be obsessed with the riches of this life. Jesus said the poor will always be with us. Maybe follow the the Bible's commandments and not the GOP's.

He didn't threaten to take their money or send them to jail.

Yeah you just made that up. I'm not obsessed with riches nor am I religious. I'm just trying to tear apart stupid liberal arguments.

Lots of new trolls like the OP showing up these days. Actually, they aren't new, just previously banned members.

As to his original post, the only person "owned" is the OP. LOL!

I propose reversing the government protection to assure everyone that they will not starve in the dark without health care while forcing the money masters to take real risks with their own money. We need to break up the money center thieves BoA, GS, etc. into many smaller competitive companies. Competition, not collusion, is the essence of Capitalism.
How exactly will that ensure that all people will begin to take responsibility for themselves?

Lolz, liberals actually believe the conservative media is "propaganda" (which is only Fox News as far as I can tell) but MSNBC/NBC/CBS/ABC/BBC/CNN/NYT/PBS are not. Sheeple.

They're protesting Wall Street because the government bailed it out. What kind of logic is that?
