For those of you saying some of the complaints are against the government not corporate America, I have some news for you.
The American military no longer serves to provide your freedom, their main job is protecting the wealth and resources or the ruling elite.
The America you think we live in, hasn't existed since the 50's.
Corporate America calls the shots now.
People have been wholesale slaughtered in Rwanda for 15 years, they even did movies about it. Did we show up with a Marine division and Aircraft carriers?
Fast forward to Libya, a few hundred get killed and we spring to action.
Why? They have something we want, oil.edit on 30-9-2011 by AGWskeptic because: (no reason given)edit on 30-9-2011 by AGWskeptic because: (no reason given)

There list "grievances" is a list of ill-informed opinions. Opinions.
Again, we have indignant kids with a poor understanding of reality protesting an enemy that exists only in their minds.
When I see things like this I can't help but think that the 50+ years barrage of progressive propaganda has successfully warped entire generations into a mindset of class warfare, entitlement, and seize-there-assets style communism.
All of these things have a similar philosophical thread:
Entitlement = I exist therefore I am owed (money, healthcare, education, etc).
Not at all. It's more like this: Entitlement = you take half of my paycheck, therefore I am owed something for it.
Class Warfare = Rich people are rich because they stole the money, so let's steal it back! (Ignoring the facts of economics)
Communism = Politicized class warfare with a side of entitlement!

RIght now on the livestream is a woman saying that "in the US, a dog has more rights than an immigrant", which translates to giving equal rights to illegal immigrants as citizens. This is nothing more than a leftist radical protest against Capitalism mixed up with some anti-Americanism and demands for socialist democracy.

To top it all off the jobs that pay a liveble wage require you to have a 3rd level education, try getting a good job on just a high school education and see what that pays.

The MSM is reporting only a few hundred people are in protest (when they do report) and remain vague to what is going on? LOL well the Media continues to expose themselves agenda wise. This aerial photo from Satellite shows us a different picture.
Does this look like a couple hundred people?

That is one woman speaking. What the corporate elite have to do with illegal immigrants to me would be cheap labor. That is about it. Cheap labor and votes for whatever party they are interested in. I say, as long as the elitist know that there are forces that can come together in the name to stop their interests, I say it is a good day. Corporate bailouts of CEOs, banks, etc. (if we call that capitalism) and being against that, is as American as it gets. That is not capitalism, that is what we call, BS!!!

There's the problem right there.
Maybe when you decide to do as these people have done and step outside of the mental prison you are in, you can begin to see that the only label which truely fits you is not "conservative" it is "Human".
You see youself as "A conservative" so that is all you will ever be.
"Ohhhh no, I am much more than that" you say.
"I am also a Christian".
Yup, another mind prison.
You are neither "Christian" nor "Conservative".
You are both, THE creation and the creatOR.
You have the ability to see beyond all of this if you should so choose.
But first, you must remove the shackles from your mind.
