no bitterness in my post.
and you are right..i dont support their demand for free loans, etc.
however i do agree that the bailouts to massive banking cartels needs to stop.
however it is already too late.
that clown in uniform as you call him is at least doing something.

let me rephrase....why dont you go and help these OWS people to change their arguments into something a little more feasible?

funny didnt see any handout signs. What I saw was alot of signs looking for jobs. To me thats people wanting to work not get a hand out.

because I support the tea party.
THEY too are not in favor of governmental interference in the economy.
Listen, I thought the bank bailouts were wrong too. Same with chrysler and gm.
The government had NO business doing it just like they have no business bailing out the OWS crowd.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Bless this guy's heart for serving his country, but it looked like he was wanting a confrontation with the cops and had the cameras there to record it. This dude has some anger issues.

He was looking for his 15 minutes of fame and he got it.

They both served 20 yrs each.

Says the guy who has done nothing but post on GFY for the past 10 years.

One guy and that's the whole group? When that was said about the tea party it was no no. Too funny.

I didn't know you wanted me to do your research for you. Just one should be enough to show you that you were wrong about not seeing anyone wanting hand outs.

Ant! don't confuse them with facts. They already know "the truth" without seeing any of this.:winkwink:

yeah it would be nice to be able to trim out the people begging for a free ride in life.

in every movement there are fringe groups, hopefully a better platform emerges from the OWS movement or else it is doomed to failure.

they need real leadership right now

what is it you don't like about the tea party?

does this count as 2 or three then, tony?

and this dipshit (a former teacher) is too stupid to realize that she *is* part of the top 20%

It's been my contention a lot of the protestors are there to be edgy and cool. Some to run away from reality.

I am not against the Tea party. I think they need to kick Sarah Palin out of it..lol
They seem to be being used slightly by people though now. As in Sarah Palin..Michelle Bachmann etc...i could be wrong, i only slightly pay attention to american politics. However it seems to me that the Tea Party is in danger of becoming just a platform to use for attention.

Their main goals are pretty good though...although some are vague.
Identify constitutionality of every new law
Reject emissions trading
Demand a balanced federal budget
Simplify the tax system
Audit federal government agencies for waste and constitutionality
Limit annual growth in federal spending
Repeal the healthcare legislation passed on March 23, 2010
Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy
Reduce Earmarks
Reduce Taxes


Although, i also think it would be a much nicer world to live in if we could just nationalize one thing to pay for healthcare. Say power plants, nuclear. Fuck those guys..lol
As well id like to see most of the SEC fired immediately, and then slowly, replace everyone there.

see, I know what you mean about bachman and palin but look at the way more serious tea party members like paul ryan and marco rubio, and jim demint operate.
They're serious guys with serious ideas.

That guy looks like he was enjoying the attention. Doesn't he grasp that the police are there to keep the peace?

I served 15 years by the way. I would have distanced myself from that guy if I were there. Embarassing.

Only someone predjudiced by their own subjective reality would make a generalized assumption such as that regardless of their support or disapproval of the situation.

the video below is what he was reacting too...you know the full grown man in a police uniform hammer punching an old lady in the face...peaceful
his main message was he was going to be damned if he risked his life to help ensure the safety of his country, when right at home you have civil servants beating down citizens...i assume you have a problem with that...it is your right

Yeah, but your Canadian, so that's like serving in a soup kitchen or something.

(I'm kidding. Love you Chris.)

if you look closely, she grabbed the cop. the cop hit her.
she got what she deserved from the looks of it.

no, its being intelligent enough to call a spade a spade and not pretend its a flower because some other dope has.

all i see is a weak man shoving an old lady around...who then puts her hands up to defend herself...he took that as a sign of aggression as he probably has issues with women...he then hammer punched her in the face.

thus the crowd reaction...a few more of these and shit will hit the fan.

Of course it's my right to disagree, that isn't the point here.

Police officers don't react as such unless there's a good reason. You don't know what that woman did in the moments preceeding what you see in the clip. Also, to me you're embellishing by saying "hammer punching an old lady" for effect. She certainly doesn't look much older than early 30s from this angle.

hey they all look ok to me from behind and bent over.
it has already been established that she was an older women.
just like it has been established that he indeed served in the marines in combat zones.
and his parents etc.

yet we have posters here who are still refuting it..lol

Sorry but simply not true and you are a moron. Or you are some kind of agent provocateur. From my observation of you those seem to be the only two logical choices. You seem to not only post in these types of threads, but really tend to jump in within the first comment or two like you are just sitting around waiting for someone to post. Dont you have some shitty affiliate program to run? What kind of program owner (and big high roller to boot if we are to believe you) has the time to sit around all day on GFY and jump all over politically themed threads all day within seconds of them going live? Just curious, maybe you are just an asshole and thats the extent of it but I dont see much beyond those two choices.

in any event, you are wrong, as usual. So much so that (and this is your own fault) I saw an article I considered posting today but since I am just a mildly interested observer human events I am not proactive usually so I did not care enough to bother with it but to address this point of yours I am some OWS tool I will have to post it to refute you so you can address your issues there in that thread if you like.

You posted horse shit.
I called you on it. I'm sure your life experiences make you feel like you're right but that's exactly what makes idiots so enjoyable here

You didn't "call me" on anything except in your own feeble little mind.

BTW, here is my new thread.

As I said I saw it, considered posting it, but am pretty uninvolved politically so I was not going to bother but you prompted me to post it in response to your idiocy so you can go troll over there.
