How do you know that they were not told to stay there? You don't....see that is what happens when you hold onto lsm, cbs in this account.
Wow. You won't even admit when proof is right before your eyes. I mean, WTF? You think the police told them to wait there, ON TOP OF THEIR CAR? You don't believe that, you're just refusing to admit when you've lost an argument.

If you think for one minute these people are not making difference then perhaps you should step out of your rose-colored world and get a grip on reality. As I have said before, while you may not like the messengers or the presentation of the message...the message is valid and YOU TOO are being screwed but are too ignorant (willfully or not) to see it or admit it. That is on you, not I.
They are indeed making a difference. The people of this country see that they are nothing more than arm of the democrat party and that dear girl is and will be making a big difference come Nov 2012.

The people are seeing a lot of things thankfully.....and we will see what happens. I was having a conversation today with someone and they expressed the fear of seeing the lowest voter turnout ever. It is a waiting game.

Well, I'm not a Republican (or a Democrat), I don't watch Fox News (or TV, for that matter), and I don't sympathize with the Occupy Movement. I saw no organization, no leadership, and no clearly defined message and precise actions that were going to achieve their goals. Friends of mine who were originally in favor of the 'movement' and participated in various Occupy-related activities eventually quit. For the same reasons.

It reminds me of when various illegal immigration advocates/sympathizers, who happen to be in high school, decide to walk out of class. Where are you going? What are you going to do? Who's running this operation? No answers. Just wandering. Aimlessly...

All of the examples you provided are organized, had leadership, and had clear goals.

Greetings. I agree with you that nothing in this country was ever gained without some form of revolt or protest. One would be hard pressed to think of anything that was simply given to the American worker by some benevolent factory owner. Despite what Ann Coulter believes about the mob being demonic, the mob has served this country well. If she were alive back then would she have the same ambiguity about the Boston Massacre, or the actual Boston Tea Party incident. At the risk of sounding cliche, sometimes you have to break a few eggs if you want an omelette. That being said I think that the Occupy movements message would resonate with a lot more brothers and sisters across this land if they simply had more coherence to their message. The civil rights, women's suffrage, and protests in Egypt had very clear and articulate message. Sadly for the most part this hasn't been the case with this movement. I'm not saying that they dont have anything to say, we all do. However the vast majority of it seems to have disintegrated into a message of anarchy. I totally support the movement, but lets sharpen it up a bit shall we.

A LOT to comment about, don't you think?

Don't blame others for the despicable, disgusting behavior and actions of this runny bowel movement.
To many to comment on so I will just comment on #1 at the top of the list
It says protesters get arrested; well yeah that is what happens in many cases when you protest, I have been at many protest where people get arrested from the White House to the steps of the Supreme Court.

My friend Judith getting arested at the White House
there were 27 arrested that day



On the steps of the Supreme Court, many arrested that day also

Protest and non-cooperation with evil and oppression is the ONLY way anything changes.
