Well, all we can do is agree to disagree about the validity of hope for our political system. You can hope for a TP surge, but Scott Brown was the poster boy for the TP, and look how conservative he's actually voted. He helped the Dems break the GOP filibuster of the jobs bill. The TP members helped pass CISPA. Read here for more cases of TP members betraying their promises.
See you in the streets this fall

There is a term for that but a picture is more powerful:
You should view help from the SEIU, Soros, MoveOn, communist party USA et al the same way!
Exactly my point. The vast majority of TP politicians are nothing more than wolves. You are putting these wolves in power every two years hoping *this* time it will be different. 2012 will be no different.
As well you should see the same in the Koch Bros funding, NRA funding and white supremacist funding of the Tea party!
Noam Chomsky: What next for Occupy?
The Occupy movement built a global sense of community and put unprecedented inequality on the agenda. In an exclusive extract, the eminent US thinker asks where it goes now.

What on Earth do we need Martial Law for?
1st Amendment...eroded. Free Speech zones, Frozen Zones, Permits required. Free Speech in a National Security Event? Felony. HR347
2nd Amendment...eroded. I don't need to explain that one to you.
4th Amendment...eroded. Stop and Frisk. TSA, TSA road side, bus and train checks.
5th Amendment...eroded. NDAA
6th Amendment...eroded. NDAA
8th Amendment...eroded. NDAA, Patriot Act, ask Bradley Manning how years of solitary confinement are feeling.
10th Amendment...eroded. The Federal Reserve.
Our police are militarized and we're already caged essentially with all fancy can and can't do lists. The laws can change on the fly so why bother waking up the rest of America by imposing Martial Law, when we essentially have it already?

We won't be violent but we won't get out of the way of their authoritarian agenda, so I say...They will only take my liberty from my cold dead hands.

We can go back to bickering over our differences after we get the country back!
More than a quarter of a million people have marched through central London to deliver a powerful message about the government's cuts in public spending. The generally good-natured mood was soured by violent and destructive attacks on symbols of wealth including the Ritz, banks and a luxury car dealer, and an occupation of the upmarket food store Fortnum and Mason.
You should be ashamed of yourself for your willingness to protect your country while putting down civilians. Why don't you go volunteer to crack some skulls with those cops, fascist?
