I love the “I’m against private property, not personal property” guy...
pretty much nails it
all their bs sounds good (to them)... until they’re seen putting the plans into action.
why aren’t people proposing change expected to model the effects of the change over 10+ generations?
So if they have lost Jon Stewart, have they lost the support of the elite liberal kids who watch that show,and get their news and information from Jon Stewart???
I also like “So let me get this straight...you’ve only been here for 8 weeks...and you already have a ghetto”.
How bout the guy from the “ghetto” who said that when they run into trouble, they come to us. LOL
I get nervous when too many media types become all for or all against something. THat’s not a natural thing to happen.
But lets look at OWS for a minute. These people actually in the trenches doing the OWSing are clearly not very bright, on average. There is clearly an element in their crowd that is hard core communism. I’m not ready to label them all as communists though. But there is that element in their crowds. There also seems to be run of the mill anarchists involved. there are also libertarians and average democrats and independents even a few republicans. It appears to me to be a diverse group of people with just two things they all seem to have in common: lower than average skills and lower than average income.
That should be a warning sign to all of us. This is what happens when a nation starts having long lasting economic problems. The people on the bottom who are suffering the most lose their patience and get angry...and when they get angry, reason and logic are no longer valuable commodities. They don’t care anymore. They are just mad as hell and are ready to make everyone aware of it.
I don’t think it is constitutional to break up these protests. But the cops on the streets are not stupid. They know what is coming if these angry people are allowed to congregate long enough in large enough numbers. They will eventually transform from protestors to rioters and looters. I believe this is why the cops are beginning to lose patience with the OWS protesters. The longer the protests go on, the more of a magnet they become for all the angry people to come out of the shadows and join in.
They want me to register to see the site. Not in the mood. Oh, well.
“Except for yours, right?”
“Right, this is my personal possession. I’m more against private property, not personal property.”
Also, when she asked the hipsters assembled in the Deutsch bank lobby, making all the important decisions for the movement...
“Ummm… does the drum circle know we’re here?”
Had it lasted another month, I’d have predicted a Festivus party.
Whoever our candidate is next year needs to put the speech where obama supports OWS on heavy rotation.
They didn’t even have time to develop a middle class for their society to crush. LMAO!
