Just another prime example of how PC garbage has so screwed up this country.

Now we have nitwits calling for racial diversity in protests, lol. What a pathetic joke.

Hey, if you're not white and you want to protest....get off your butt and go do it. No one's is stopping you.

And while were at it, let's get a motion going to force The Congressional Black Caucus to accept white folks, into their little groovey club

Every year the people of this country get dopier and dopier.

Let me kindly suggest to you that by closing yourself off to opposing points of view makes you ignorant. You don't have to agree with her, but she is speaking for a large segment of the population. If you want to make believe that she doesn't exist, then go ahead....but in order for you to catch which way the wind is blowing in your own country, you really should at least listen to all points of view.
There are better conservatives to read to than that woman. I can respect George Will and some others. I have no respect for Ann Coulter, and have almost no respect for anyone who would take her seriously. She's a hatemonger and nothing more. And if she's indicative of the way the wind is blowing (which I don't believe) then I'm truly afraid for this country.

This whole thing is about class warfare. They are using the Wall Street fat cats and the salaries (many of their 'holiday bonuses' alone are more than most normal people would make in a whole lifetime) as a scapegoat to rile up the useful idiots. They picked a good, easy target to go after. This isent going to end well at all folks.
Of course the White House is behind it. So are the majority of democrats in congress.

I agree ... well put!

There are all kinds of I too can say about Ann Coulter, but because I'm a Buddhist, I'll hold my tongue.

Doesn't she mean Tea Partiers had jobs? I thought a large percentage of tea partiers were retired people?

I don't particularly care for this lady, either, and I'm not religious at all. Woah.

Grass roots? The planning for this has been in the making for almost a year. This is organized by all the major progressive liberal groups like MoveOn.org, Acorn, Code Pink and many more ... and yes ... Soros is also behind it.

Right now the focus is on the top 1%. Next month it could be the top 2%. The following, the top 5%. Who knows, maybe after that it will be the _______ (fill in the blank). We should be frightened, but not unbowed. This is all arbitrary.

Maybe blacks and Hispanics are as much into stocks and shares as they are into ice hockey

There was an Occupy Philadelphia demonstration today in front of City Hall in Dilworth Plaza.

The weather was nice and about 1,000 people showed up so far.

Interestingly, the Tea Party event that took place over a year ago only drew about 200.
