Yo, Spidey. Man enough to demonstrate you can face the harsh glare of reality and actually look at the world honestly and objectively? Here's a chance to show you can do it.While I'm sure that's what YOU see, it's not because that's what's really there. It's a byproduct of your cognitive dissonance, where you only see what you already believe.I see a lot of signs by the socialist and communist parties. Lots of anti-capitalist messages as well.
Are you OK with that and do you support their goals?
I looked through all the pictures at all the signs that were legible. I can't tell for sure which signs may have been sponsored by the "socialist and communist" parties. I don't obsess over them as you do and don't have the Secret Nutter Decoder Ring to translate ordinary thoughts into "yes, but we really know it means ..." I certainly didn't see anything that promoted socialism or communism directly.
I saw exactly two signs that denounced capitalism. In contrast, the vast majority of the signs attacked corruption, greed, politicians in general (of both parties), corporations, billionaires, etc. In short, they matched the same general OWS message that most people expect.
I'm sure you disagree with this, so here's a challenge. Go through each picture, count the number of signs, then write down the specific ones you claim are anti-capitalism. Give us the ratio, give us the examples, and then explain exactly how you can rationalize that this is the primary message of OWS.
One other obvious note from these photos is that the people who parrot the "non-bathing hippies" propaganda are absolutely clueless. They're just repeating what Fox and that ilk have told them to say. Looking at the actual protests, however, it is crystal clear OWS crosses a broad section of Americans, both by age and by social status. (There are also quite a few hotties. Makes me want to get behind them even more.)
Damn, is this shit still going on?
From what I have read, it bounced off the street and he happened to be standing close to where it hit.
With enough velocity to fracture his skull and cause brain damage.... I find that hard to believe.

America the free... oh wait. Wouldn't want people reading about revolutions happening around the world, would we?
Are you STILL going to ignore all the signs and messages from socialists, communists and anti-capitlist? Your ability to deny facts and reality is astounding, it's the mind of a liberal. Are you really that blind?
Why do you pretend that the beliefs and actions of extreme minority fringe groups effects 100% of a group of people they've chosen to come mingle with?
Is it so hard to come to grips with the amount of curruption in our government? We have a military industrial complex who's business is war. A cost of doing business to them is tarnishing their reputation by lying to goto war over and over.

Watch this video. Former presidential candidate General Wesley Clark talks about the fact that our government had pre-planned wars with countries including iraq,lybia, syria, iran.
These are easy for anybody to understand.

We have this group of people in our financial sector who have already raped our country and are still doing it. And then there's some of these criminals who cross over into government positions through active lobbying and bribes. This is why people are protesting. These people are out there betting with every bodies money and then they don't have any accountability when they fail.
We can also mention the recent condemnation of SEC policies in handling corporate crimes. The SEC has allowed these people to commit crimes that would send average people to prison, and simply pay a fine and let the entire thing be swept under the rug as if nothing ever happened.
Is it so scary to talk about real issues?
the fact remains it has been overrun by the far left fringe.
Tax the rich stems from the known fact that there are huge corporations that pay $0 in taxes, and yet make billions in profits in a time when our country is in a recession.
Can we talk about the real issues though? You can talk about people protesting without a permit all you want, but if people are so hell bent on arresting hippies, they should be equally hell bent on bringing major criminals to justice.
The bail outs were a mess. Give money to this corporation so that they can pay debts owed to this other corporation who also got bailouts, and then we have former ceo's of these failed corporations working at top positions in the government to oversea all of this.
This I agree with. We should have structured the bail-outs much differently in my opinion. I don't necessarily blame Bush or Obama for this, as I'm sure they have other legitimate concerns and had to get the job done quickly. But it sucks to see corporations laying people off and paying out big bonuses whilst the taxpayer is propping them up because they are "too big to fail". In my opinion we should have mandated no bonuses and no layoffs, even if it took structured bankruptcies to achieve this. And it sucks to see big corporations buying up distressed smaller companies who weren't "too big to fail" with the money they got for being "too big to fail".Tax the rich stems from the known fact that there are huge corporations that pay $0 in taxes, and yet make billions in profits in a time when our country is in a recession.
There are also ignorant people that believe that rich people don't pay enough taxes which in alot of cases isn't true. Alot of 'rich' people pay some 40% of their wages in taxes.
But then you have another category of super rich people who evade taxes, hide money,cook books, take bail outs.. all of that good stuff.
I'm going to take the high road and agree. It's a mess. There isn't 1 group of people out there protesting. There's all sorts of groups of people. I know we want to focus on the people who are so hardcore that they're camping out without bathing for weeks at a time. There's also alot of part time protesters who work or goto school and goto the protests when they can.

As opposed to Republicans who think it only refers to corporations and the wealthy elite?
If two wrongs make a right, does a third wrong make a righter? Would a fourth wrong make a rightest?
