Who said protesting was for grown ups? As these photographs show, kids are joining the masses at Occupy protests around the world.

The protests, which began in New York City as hundreds gathered in Zucotti Park to "Occupy Wall Street," have spread to cities all over the world.

And, the adults, some of whom have made the Occupy camps their home, are bringing along their little ones. Many believe they have must seize this "teachable moment" to educate their kids on income equality and the right to protest.

In Zucotti Park, a Brooklyn mother organized a sleepover for more than 80 parents and their children. A makeshift library within the park has a collection of children's books for parents to use....

Using children as useful idiots is a big communist thing. They are easier to brainwash when they are young skulls full of mush.

"teachable moment" to educate their kids on income equality

Income equality =
"YOU! --> Kitchen! Dishes!"
"OTHER YOU! --> Go play computer games."
"Allowance time: BOTH You's get the same amount...no whining!"

Why not, they are going to turn into progressives anyway. By joining the OWS crowd they will learn about free sex, not so free sex, rape, including that of minors, theft, robbery, assault one another, foul the environment and how to live dirty and unkempt, begging, threaten to kill people, drugs and dealing of same, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

Whew, tough call. To be fair, the Tea Party had their kids at their rallies but they did not intend to occupy and would not expose their children to what has become a volatile and dangerous enviroment, despite what the OWS crowd says.

The retired Lt. is absolutely right. Pedophiles go where there are kids and it’s not like we don’t already have many reports of open urination, defecation, sex and masturbation. Even rape.

One of the posters did bring up a very important point. There is almost certainly elements in the OWS movement who would use those kids as human shield to keep police from any needed enforcement action. You can toss flashbangs at a former-active-Marine-that-actually-hate-the-Marines but you simply can’t do that with kids around. You just couldn’t square that.

You need a better understanding of why they are doing this. Perhaps this will help:

A LOT of the OWS protestors are smoking cigarettes outdoors. In the park! Bloomberg says that is deadly, so if I were a consistent liberal, I’d have to say “no kids”. Rape, violence, masturbation, flashers around youngsters, no problem. But a whiff of smoke? Where are the cops?

The last big CNN story was all the controversy about that Cain advert that featured someone smoking. CNN and MSNBC are for total idiots.

“Using children as useful idiots is a big communist thing. They are easier to brainwash when they are young skulls full of mush.”

Um, think about it. You also see children at Pro-Life events, Pro-Christian events, Pro-rebublican events.

Is your position the same for these?
