“When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.” - Gerald Celente

What do they do when they “lose it”? Well, it depends on the person and what they've lost. A union worker with a family that has lost his job and can find nothing paying remotely what he used to make has lost his ability to support his family. What does he do when they come for his home?

A college student that is still supported by mom and dad has lost his future. Those of you that are in your 40’s, 50’s or 60’s, how would you have reacted to getting out of school in todays job market?

Etc.

We are living in interesting times. I don't think these kids are doing the right thing, but I also don't know what I would do in their position. What CAN they do, really? Sure, they have the iPhones and all the other trappings supplied by mom and dad, but they are not stupid. They know that is temporary and they have serious angst over where they will be five or 10 years from now. They are pissed because they don't feel that they caused it but that the previous generations did and they don't know what to do. So they do what kids do. They have a sit in and just want to be noticed. They are hoping the adults with actual POWER will do whatever needs to be done to create an environment that will bring opportunity so that they CAN work somewhere besides McDonald's.

And they are becoming useful idiots, which is as dangerous as it was before the Russian Revolution or the rise of Nazism. We are in a VERY dangerous time. If something doesn't change, and soon, this will get ugly in ways most of us can not even imagine. The “Occupy” movement is nothing more than a symptom. Think of it as the cough from the cold. We have yet to experience the sneezing, runny nose earaches, etc. What will we do when those symptoms arrive? What if it moves on to pneumonia?

Vote this administration and the democrats out a.s.a.p. It was their housing policy (communism) that started it all.

Under Bush, unemployment was 5% before the democrats housing bubble broke.
Under Bush, gas was only $1.89.
Under Bush, those who could afford a house could buy one.
Under Bush, we only had 2 wars. Under Oboma, we have 4.
Under Bush, food prices were 30% lower.

What changed? The lefts housing crash and a democrat take over of Washington.

The democrats bring everyone down to their level to make it fair - communism.
The Republicans bring everyone up to their level to make it fair - liberty.
People have to choose between the two. This country is going to have to go one way or the other.

They do have a virus: a contagious often deadly virus of the mind crafted by Satan himself which uses envy as its vector. Like Satan, the infected person absolutely loses it when they are mocked. That is the most effective demotivation tactic we have: laugh at fleabaggers and their childish envy at every opportunity.

The only reason we have the luxury of freedom of speech in America and can tolerate these spoiled brats is because we spend so much on our military which makes it extremely difficult to topple our government. Most nations do not have a big military so the evil industry of envy can and frequently does cause their implosion. The day we see free speech in China is the day they are a super power.
