"OccupyWallStreet's" main goal is to get Obama re-elected. Regardless about everything else they are protesting against, "OccupyWallStreet's" over all existence is to help the Democrats win in 2012. Period.
Do you know what they will get for their effort? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Even though they may have the ability to get him back into office, they will get nothing in return for their efforts.
"OccupyWallStreet" is a tool for the Democrat party.
Nothing will change their fate.

So you know the political leanings of the protesters. Wow...impressive military mind you have.
If you were to look back into history you would know that revolution is not a young mans game, but a demand for justice and change from all ages, but only one socioeconomic class, the majority.
Your condescension does not serve your argument.

Well good for you, while you sit and do nothing, let these people try and change the world.
Enough with the negativity, reading your posts about all this is absolutely ridiculous. All you do is bitch and moan about how they aren't doing anything, well they are doing a hell of a lot more than you are, eh?

Thomas Jefferson told us each generation needs a revolution. I must say I agree. The protesters are not going to talk any sense into the greedy monsters that are strangling this country and world, but they are one of the final contributions to the clog that will break the levee of greed and flush those dark powers into the revolutionary recycling bin. Viva la Revolution!

ABSOLUTELY! Fedral Reserve is the problem - but Wall Street aint where you fight it. And this whole "living wage" and "unemployment" stuff are all symptons of the problem.
We need to force our elected officials to begin printing their own money again - and outlaw the Fed Reserve. Every President who's fought them (from Lincoln to Kennedy) has been shot.

And in that last one, you Full On Straw-manned their position, by posting an incorrect link to a set of false demands, claiming that those outlandish demands were Theirs....

And you ridiculed the people who were correcting you.

It started all of a sudden- did someone somewhere get together and say "This is how we'll attack this thing? We'll call them kids, hippies, far left - we'll marginalize them and try to keep the older and more mainstream people from joining them."
Because then the media started up "It's pro-Obama!" "It's a new radical left!" "It's a George Soros group!" And that is the same time the crap started on this board.
You can have a diverse crowd and if you only show people that are 24 and black, you might present them as being a 20 something black movement. You neglected to show the other colors of the rainbow and ages of aquarius standing out there...
Media paints the picture they want you to see. Last night on fox, they said "Here them chanting 'Take the bridge" and they showed the crowd chanting, but guess what? They were NOT chanting take the bridge..if you listened.edit on 4-10-2011 by hadriana because: (no reason given)

You have to believe one of two truths here:
A. There are so few protestors that donated cookies and food is enough to feed them all
B. There are so many protestors that the donated food area is but a tiny fraction of what's actually being consumed.
I make no assumption nor do I 'have to believe' either one. My post was in response to another poster who was asking about food. There, in my response, was part of the answer. Another part is in my post as well where I stated that I am sure some are patronizing local eateries and what not and yet another part would just be common sense... if you are going to stay there for any length of time take your own food stuffs and things you may need like a sleeping bag or chair.
I don't believe I even hinted at that assumption of yours. I direct you to my statements above.
You can't logically assume that donated food is enough to feed large masses of people.
And what about their bathroom needs? The logistics of hosting the amount of people that we're being told is there is staggering if they're really being as self-sufficient as you'd like to believe.
If you are so concerned about their bathroom needs, go look it up yourself. It was not in the post I was responding to, nor is it really any of my concern. The fact we are not hearing any complaints as to smell means they are managing very well.
And when was it suddenly ok to trust the MSM's stories?
This one had me laughing out loud, literally. Would it have been more believable if the clip had come from Alex Jones, Steve Quayle, Federal Jack or Sasha Faal??

Stop it! You almost made me spit out my x-large coke as I was eating my super sized fries and big mac...
If I go to the rescue mission and feed 20 homeless men and women on a Wedensday night, but I do it very quietly.. .OR I go and spend a week in the park and chant "Down with Wall Street!" all day and night
Which path actually accomplished something? Intentions without results is useless and a waste. You'll learn this when you grow up.

What do you speak of?
Yes, in the past, revolution was not. But, we are here and now.
Protests are for people that love the crowd.
Revolution, now, is for the young.
Now, what is meant by Revolution?
I think you and I are speaking a different dialect.

here's how protests work -
I am black I want rights, I am white and I say no.
I am black and I am going to march for my rights, I am white and this is entertaining.
I am black and I will gather together with other blacks into groups to fight for my rights, i am white and now your militant terrorists.
I am black and your going to have to look over your shoulder everywhere you go, I am white ok here is your rights.
The one who wins any debate is the one who tops his competition. If you are going to fight the establishment and win you have to be willing to go farther than they will and it should be obvious that short or civil war or armed revolution major changes will never come.
People at the heads of these banks will call the police and let them handle it for them under rule of law.
You can't fight that with picket signs - ask people who protested nuclear testing or Vietnam or civil rights right up until the military had to be called in.
Or all of these Muslim countries that were oppressed for decades until they finally realized there is a price to be payed for change and it's not in markers and cardboard.edit on 5-10-2011 by circuitsports because: (no reason given)
