You would reverse field instantly if it was the Tea Party people "occupying", plus demonstrating less-than-stellar "decorum" by calling them tea-baggers etc., I heartily suspect.

Good thing we aren't going to have One World Commerce and One World Union. That would be a diaster for the productive, and a vast rookery for the members of the parasite class.

Obamas "Occupy" movement (he started it when he organized and ran the first one called "Occupy Chicago" back in 1987) will, like everything related/connected to his administration, fall flat on its face.

I am sure that many instances of fools going beyond their rights of expression will take place. Some will be accidental and some will be done at the behest of union organizers and other extremists and then they will be called anarchists. I guess you don't think that a few car windows and store windows getting broken out by demonstrators is wrong since these are only examples of private property.

I will bet that few of them know the stories you mention or will remember them once it all starts taking place.

If that happens, then they'll be arrested.


Give me a break.

You have just called old Carterstamp out as being just what the timing of his reply and your post prove. Not in 3 minutes could it have been done. I also read that thing and found too much that I was reading in the 1950s about "useful idiots" as the Communists on college campuses called the fools who worked mindlessly for them. I wonder if old Carter was one of them in college.

Nope, Freedom of Speech and Assembly apply to both sides. Don't put words where they don't exist.
