Alliteration makes my soul smile. I agree with what you think of is wrong, just not how to solve it. I also don't believe it's "capitalism's" fault, cronyism is a byproduct that's been exacerbated by government influence and interference.
 
So a month later... OWS protesters are sitting in a cold park in the cold and rain, need to pay legal fees for their arrests and now have criminal records, and still have no jobs.

Greedy Wall Street Execs: 1
OWS: 0

But who's keeping score. Oh, me!
 
So every unfounded accusation against Tea Party protests has been realized in these Occupy protests, yet the Democrats throw their weight behind it and the left fully embraces and funds it...

Racism, violence, nonsensical demands and all. Probably the most illustrative example we've ever seen on the left's righteous self-justification for committing every act that they fiercly condemn, if they can find a way to convince themselves that they have the moral high-ground.

Pathetic. No word can sum it all up more aptly. In 10 years, capitalism will still be here, and all of these people will have social tattoos of their ridiculous behavior forever on their face.
 
the occuyp milwaukee group is now just another democratic group. They are now protesting against republican bills. Which have nothing to do with wall street. Too predicatable.

Ahh c'mon lol...You guys might as well be foxnews/limbaughs personal fucking P&N stenographers you are so far up their asses, do you really think anyone is fooled? Give it up. You are boring charactertures of pro-wrestling establishment media for loser old people too braindead on pills/booze (a few probably meth) to use critical thinking (if they ever did/could). Irrelevant, but amusing in a trainwreck kinda way. Kinda like watching the junkies nod and drool on themselves. Every once in awhile you see a conservative wake up and use their brain and look around surprised, to only fall back into self hatred/divisive weak minded thinking of a reactionary.

Wow...ok. So you have no answer to my question? People either agree with you, or they're right-wing parrots and shills for the FoxNews establishment? There's nothing and nobody in between?

I pity you for the close-minded box you call home.

Seriously. It's amazing how much our resident right wingers are flipping out about this. What I like is that they start off by saying that it's a non-story and completely irrelevant, then later they are all radical communists coming to destroy capitalism. They can't seem to decide on which. (although maybe actions speak louder than words. They write an awful lot about things that they claim don't matter)

Watching the outrage machine in action is pretty fun though.

you only wish the right was so unhinged.


Once the OWS gets a message and maybe puts out an actual idea/plan, Then we might have a true interest. Right now, nothing more then an fun side story to discuss.

No, I really don't. I wish the right were much, much less unhinged. The Republican party of today bears almost no resemblance to the party of even 20 years ago, and even those guys were a little extreme.

I seriously beg of all of you, please become less unhinged.

Foxnews/conservative media IS the establishment, the dreaded mainstream media etc, you are what you despise, and yes, you are a total shill for the establishment, willing to discredit fellow Americans because someone in the entertainment industry told you those are the people to hate.

Conservatism is a really tired and douchey fanboi victim trip nowadays, get over yourselves, you are not rebels, you are a defender of the corrupt status quo and part of the problem with America now that you refuse to think for yourselves. Congrats.

Who's unhinged or even angry? It's been so much fun to watch the leftists implode with stupidity in this "occupy" movement. The whole world is watching, the whole world is watching. We get to see these lovely treats almost every day.

"“F--k Finance. I hope Mayor Bloomberg gets an injunction and demands to see the movement’s books. We need to know how much money we really have and where it’s going,” said a frustrated Bryan Smith, 45, who joined OWS in Lower Manhattan nearly three weeks ago from Los Angeles, where he works in TV production."

Join the movement, or subvert it?

The beauty of OWS is that it calls on people to think for themselves, to question their fundamental beliefs, which is terribly upsetting to some people, obviously a very frightening proposition. If they start down that path, their whole worldview might collapse. Righties aren't very good at thinking outside the box, nor necessarily within it, either. Their leadership depends on it.

OWS movement has no thoughts. At least none presented. Listed of demands? Zero. List of ideas on to how to fix a problem? None. A bunch of feel sorry for me stories? Bingo.

Exactly, deep down the real Republicans WANT to be a part of this movement, but Fox news is telling them not to.

🙁

So instead we get Americans vs Americans with America losing.

It's a test to see who can fill in the blanks. You're not doing very well so far, as expected.

I already told you: I don't listen to or watch anything put out by the FoxNews or CNNs of the world -- Hell, I don't watch ANY news on cable TV -- yet, I still strongly disagree with most of your positions on the major issues we're faced with today.

Which part of that confuses you? Why do you insist that everyone who disagrees with you must be a FoxNews parrot?

I've been "conservative" my entire life, and it has nothing to do with modern media or the ramblings of morons in either major political party.

Conservatism is a really tired and douchey fanboi victim trip nowadays, get over yourselves, you are not rebels, you are a defender of the corrupt status quo and part of the problem with America now that you refuse to think for yourselves. Congrats.

Sure thing Dorothy.

Conservatives by and large are white. They seem to yearn for this nostalgic past where white America dominated the landscape of this country in every way, and all other minorities were subservient to them. They do not understand the world they live in today, and respond with fear, hatred, and bigotry. The Republican party understands this full well and plays to their fears with false bogeyman all the time.

The sad reality is Conservatism has been on the wrong side of history every single time. Whether it's segregation, civil rights, gay rights, abortion, etc. You've lost every single time. You were WRONG every single time.

America is moving away from your kind of small minded thinking. It won't be too long before the Southern Strategy is no longer viable for Presidential candidates, and when that truly happens the Republican party is in deep shit.

Your making that up. because the group has no leader or offical spokes person, or offical list of demands.
