This should make everything perfectly clear.

Actually I don't think she very clear at all.

.....Then thank god for YouTube.This is normal when 1% of the population controls 90% of the wealth. The mainstream media is deliberately downplaying the protests on Wall Street and the many other protests "springing" up across the USA. I think it's hilarious how the mainstream media will make a big deal about protests and riots when it's happening overseas, but when it's happening in our own backyard, the protests are either ignored or the protesters are proclaimed to be "dirty hippies".
Yeah, kill'em all, and if there's no opportunity maybe soon you can do it here:Good luck with that. The home next door to me is in foreclosure and up for short sell. But the one I'm in is quite heavily armed and I did tell my neighbor I'd watch after her house. My eviction process would be considerably faster. Gotta love Texas law.
Bad move. Iran has supports in Russia and China. Better to convexly destabilize the Islamic government and have it replaced with a more moderate government. Besides, trying to deprive a country of nuclear capability once they have the know-how is like trying to unring a bell.Yeah, kill'em all, and if there's no opportunity maybe soon you can do it here:

Here is the video of Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park, New York City. I was down there for about 20-30 minutes and met some fascinating characters and saw some interesting things. You'll certainly get a very good flavor for who is there, what it's like and who the players are, lol. Had a little fun with this and hopefully it will provide a little curiosity about our website too, lol. Helped me learn Sony Vegas - I'll have a video channel for the law site and need to do just a little video editing on all the clips. Amazing program...
Name four differences between Occupy whatever and the Tea Party.
- Tea Party members can explain what specific policy changes they want to see enacted and why. There's a substance to the movement beyond "stop greed".
- The Tea Party was a relevant factor in the last election and will be in the next election
- The Tea Party isn't going away when it gets cold
- Tea Party members have money to donate to their candidates
Don't really watch MSNBC and not sure what others say about them has to do with the Occupiers positions. Ironically, though, the very lack of specificity makes criticizing the Occupiers difficult. On the one hand, I agree that this, in the short term, makes passing specific changes difficult (after all, hard to pass what you have not asked for), consider that by having a "wide net" they do a few things...they have a larger potential constituency, they set the groundwork for a "movement" (which may or may not come to pass....but on this point, I have been surprised at how persistent and large the Occupy Movement has been).1. Are you listening to the people in the Tea Party or the MSNBC commentary about them? I think you'll find a specificity on topics that a 1980s era Contract with America never envisioned.
2. The Tea Party remains relevant for several reasons. First, Tea Party candidates were elected and challenged Boener during the debt ceiling debate and forced him from the business as usual conduct. The debate was initiated by the Tea Party caucus. They continue to influence the legislative agenda.
I don't get this point at all...by this logic, just presence or existence qualifies as occupying ( purposefully not capitalized) whether by Occupiers or TPers...so, back to your original post on the topic, the cold will not make the Occupy Movement go away. I also think that cold is a non-factor in places with year round mild climate.3. Yes, they did. They occupied their homes. They occupy Congress and they continue to meet weekly all across America. And do you know who quietly attends without the fanfare of the press? Their elected officials. Who did I meet with last week? Jeb Hensarling, the Super Committee co-chair. What we continue to occupy is a significant mindshare of mainstream conservative politics. We don't have nutty meetings where we wiggle our fingers, we simply go about the business of grassroots change.
4. Yes, money does equal influence. Right or wrong, that is the nature of the beast. And influence is necessary to enact change. It isn't necessary to impeach the validity of the ideas of the Occupy nuts. I am content to let them speak for themselves. But you seem to have a flawed recollection of how the housing bubble was created, even though I've posted the information so I see little reason to get into it. Suffice it to say it was Senate democrats, most notably Barney Frank, who brought us to that point and opposed Bush when he could have set it right. As for their right to protest, go for it. I've left various parts of my body around the world to guarantee they have they right. Sadly, I worry for the generation that follows the Entitlement Generation. Who will secure their rights for them?
Oh yes, one thing the Tea Party and Occupy nut bars agree on: no more corporate bailouts or bogus stimulus bills. Where we disagree is that there shouldn't be any bailouts to anyone at all.
I just think it is not productive to pillory America and place the blame on the country as a whole (and will turn off some folks needed to get change to happen). I think the problems are much greater than that.
And that's how I see the Occupy movement. A fraction of people claiming to represent or be the 99%, pointing the blame-finger at some imaginary enemy; the "1%".
I am not part of the 1%, and I do take offence to the Occupy movement pretending that they speak for me. If they did, I would be protesting with them. I am not, for two reasons:
1) I do not subscribe to their mantra of simply pointing my finger at someone else and expecting that person to fix **** for me.
2) I'm frankly too busy supporting my family to stay away from work to "protest".
