I always take enemies of freedom, the Constitution, and America seriously. I hope for an early cold winter to drive the vemin off the streets.

Well, yes, the Democrats do. Let’s see, Obama, Pelosi, and other lesser Democrat luminaries have all personally endorsed the idiotic OWS protesters.

But, equally as damning, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the official campaign arm of the House Democrats officially endorsed OWS on their web site:

http://www.dccc.org/pages/occupy

Though they keep changing the page now on a daily basis trying to pull back their endorsement. For instance, the following lead paragraph that appeared there on 10/10/2011:

“Protestors [sic] are assembling in New York and around the country to let billionaires, big oil and big bankers know that we’re not going to let the richest 1% force draconian economic policies and massive cuts to crucial programs on Main Street Americans.”

has been consigned to the virtual flames of the Internet memory hole today (10/11/2011).

What’s scary about this movement is the media backing.

Which reminds me of the riots and protests of the sixties and seventies. Virtually no one supported them -- except the [liberal] media and, by extension, academia and the Democrat party. The protestors ended up exerting a huge influence on American policy because of that support.

The same danger exists today, to be sure, but we have a voice now. We didn't then. I'm not convinced the Occupiers are anything that will survive the first snows.

I actually do, as it will take days if not weeks to power wash and stream clean that park back to a usable state. Past that point, nope I don't take those idiots seriously, in fact been hoping for a sudden cold misting rain followed by a very strong snow storm.

I take em seriously, Any day now I expect to turn on the TV and hear of one of them detonating a bomb in one of the brokerage houses.

those people were planted there by the Soros crowd to start trouble and bring on martial law so barry can pass whatever he wants.

Yes-—Glen Beck for one.

He seems to think that the assclown convention should be taken as seriously as a heart attack.

As if to say that the creeps validate all his alarmist pontificating by presenting the US with a follow-on to the “Arab Spring,” the European riots, and represent a genuine, dangerous threat of eventual leftist takeover.
