Why is it the Conservatives/Teapublicans refuse to see the truth behind the Occupy Wall St. protests? I don't want to hear one more Fox host call the demonstrators GANGS, or read another comment on Facebook claiming the Liberal protesters are just ENVIOUS of the rich bankers, or like this comment from a "friend".....
"Corporate greed wasn't a problem when times were good, you know, during the Republican era. Did Reagan care? Did George H. Bush care? Then a Democratic house and senate came along and ran this country into the ground.... Again..."
These people are completely ignoring the facts! Wall St. gambled with your money, MY money, WE LOST trillions of dollars...REMEMBER??? They are conveniently dismissing this detail of why Occupy Wall St. has gone global!! And today the Republican plan to get our economy moving is LESS REGULATION and MORE TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY! Thank God the country is awake and paying attention to the GOP and their America killing agenda......They are so fuckin' arrogant, no hiding the truth anymore, they are coming right out and telling us their plans to kill the middle class off once and for all...
Michael Moore: "This is a rigged casino. I don't know why anybody would put their hard-earned money into this especially after what happened in this last decade. The guys on this street played with people's futures, people's pension funds, credit default swaps, no regulation from D.C. and it's still going on! And if I could just very respectfully ask you and CNBC, you know, you are in this, you are journalists, it's is your job not just to report that the DOW is up 95 points already today, but go in there and find out what's really happening. Who's making this money? Who's dividing this pie up so that the one percent get the majority of it? That's really the story. That's the story you're fellow Americans want you to do," he pleaded.
"They want to know where their jobs went. You know, where their future is going to be. That's the job of CNBC. So, please do your job! Please!"
Even when 99% of the country is living in poverty, and the 1% is swimming in wealth because of OUR money trickling UP to them, the conservatives will still deny the truth....they will consistently blame the left, the "socialists, communists, Marxists" for the demise of the middle class in America! HA!
The Right likes to say we on the Left hate Capitalism, not true. What we hate is the greedy who takes the working mans money and gambles with it. That our lively hood means NOTHING to them, there was NO remorse when hundreds of thousands lost their life's savings in the collapse. This is what we hate.
WALL STREETS GREED AND CORRUPTION DIRECTLY CAUSED THE 2008 ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, ERASING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PERSONAL SAVINGS DESTROYING OVER EIGHT MILLION AMERICAN JOBS AND BALLOONING THE NATIONAL DEBT.....This is why the world is protesting corporate greed and corruption! NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE ENVIOUS!!

Love the cartoon at the top.
Why on earth would we be envious of these greedy charlatans? Someone must have rocks in their head.
too upset to comment straight. The new notion is that if I can afford to buy it, fuck everyone else.
Capitalism run amok is not a balanced system.
So... think this way..if you are rich and can afford buy natural resources too bad for everyone else?
There is a thought process gone wrong... think of the Woody Guthrie song...
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was singing
This land was made for you and me!
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me those golden valleys
This land was made for you and me!
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As the sun was shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying
"This land was made for you and me!"
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
...and some verses added later...
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
It also has a verse:
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?
I don't know L, they can't accept the truth so they must make up lies as to why there are protests going on around the globe.
Jim, this whole fucked up society has me upset too. The ones who support the greedy and corrupt are blind sheeple. They follow Limbaugh and his ilk, or they believe one day the 1% will look DOWN upon the little poor folks and throw them some crumbs so they better stay on their good side :)
thanks for the song, it's lovely and very much hated by the Right I assume.
Negative emotions are the realm the Rightists understand best. Fear and anger drive their agenda, and are reflected in their terms of propaganda, as in Marxist, Muslim, death panels, death taxes, etc. They cannot comprehend injustice by the elites, therefore they need to tag us with the negative emotion of envy for the rich and "hate" for corporations.
They revere wealth and the infallibility of the wealthy as if it were their religion.
Did an 'Occupy' protester fire an AK-47 at the White House?
It sounds too ridiculous and far-fetched to be true - but it is. Shots were fired at the White House on Friday and authorities just discovered that a bullet had hit a window at the White House. The shots appear to be from a high powered rifle and the window struck was that of the Obama's living quarters. The Obamas were not home at the time of the incident. How in the world did something like this happen with relative disinterest from the media?
