Is this the Occupiers?

[Mrs. Skeffington]

I wonder how many of them are currently collecting Unemployment Benefits. Is what they are doing qualifying as "seeking work"?

Get that young man a job at MSNBC. That type of addle minded intolerance, emotional instability and unbridled arrogance needs to be harnassed.

But many liberals have implied that. In fact, there have been many liberals that have explicitly said that. So many left-wingers love to post pictures of Tea Party members with racist or misspelled signs, but the second the anti-Semites and conspiracy theorist come out of the woodwork it's all, "You can't paint the whole movement that way!"

I agree with you. There are racist Tea Party members and there are anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street protestors and they do not represent the whole movement in both cases. Luckily for me, I don't like either of them. The Tea Party has too many unlibertarian elements for me to have a lot of respect for and the Occupy Wall Street movement is rotten from head-to-toe.

If I had the power, I would send every one of these terrorists at the Occupy Wall Street riots to hard labor camps since totalitarianism seems to be what they want.

Strong is the irony in this one.

This rule has already been used on the tea party. Turn about is fair play

Ahhh, so the "they did it" is your mantra, not the be better than the other guy way. Cool, I expect to see no whining from you when the Left does it to you again.

in ANY entity there is 1% that are the leaders


they want socialism, not capitolism

Individuals should be calling the shots, as long as they aren't initiating force on others.

We don't have anything close to capitalism, our system is corporatism. We don't even have control of our currency, it is created via debt by private banks.

Why many may be saying phrases that sound like socialism, for the most part they just don't like what we have been told capitalism is.

We need leaders who protect individual rights, not create laws to benefit the few.

Back? Both sides have been there for decades. That conservative vs. liberal thing is so 90s.

How Goldman Sachs Created the Food Crisis - By Frederick Kaufman | Foreign Policy

People are hungry, unemployed, and in debt while Wall Street $$ men play with people's lives. I say, let the youth gather to meet and discuss ways the people can unite to bring a better way. Why are people so against them? Why does it make people uncomfortable? Let them have their peaceful protest and think session. Let's give them a chance.

The more it goes on, the more I am disturbed by "Occupy" 's lack of cohesion, lack of understanding, and merely persistent demands that "Wall Steet give us our money!" Young people who have gotten their education cannot find work in anything but the service industries - and don't know (and don't care) how it happened, they just want to protest the unfairness of it all. They don't like the crony corporatism that has taken away their opportunity - but instead of fighting that (or even understanding that) they want Wall Street CEOs to come off of their incomes. They don't grasp cause and effect, they simply want the effects to change. Some scream about "fiat currency" but don't understand how it got that way, or that changing back to gold and silver would cut their incomes and opportunities even more. (Don't get me wrong - I don't like or believe in the Fed Reserve or its fiat currency - but when that rug is pulled out from under our fiscal castles in the air, a LOT will come tumbling down.)

It isn't just the anti-Semitism that bothers me, it's the fact that everyone is looking for a scapegoat, no one has a cohesive stand or argument, they all (Tea Partiers and Occupiers alike)seem to have the attitude "I don't know how this happened, or even what has happened, but someone's to blame and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Like this woman -


Haftin' To Be Uproared - Occupy Atlanta - YouTube

The ignorant are looking for a leader who will promise them a job, a chicken in every pot - and a scapegoat to blame for all of their troubles. They don't want to hear the truth that some are calmly and rationally telling them, or the fact that it is only going to get worse - they are looking for a Saviour. Shades of the brownshirts are hovering over these folks, looking to pounce, and this is not going to be pretty no matter how it ends.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I may dislike Obama and his policies, his decisions, his friends, his appointees and his czars, just as I disliked Bush and his same, but Obama does not scare me. What scares me is what the ignorant will do and whom they will rabidly follow - after Obama.
