It seems the OCCUPY movement needs to move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and to the steps of the Capitol Building.

New poll shows Americans blame Washington 2-1 over Wall Street for economy

Yet the leading lights of the GOP establishment want to tinker at the margins of Healthcare, taxes etc. Meh. A pox on the GOP establishment — yeah I’m talking to you Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, McVain, Grahamnesty, Mittwit, Christy etc.

It seems the OCCUPY movement needs to move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and to the steps of the Capitol Building.

The TEA Party is way ahead of these brainiacs on that.

Of course that’s after *down twinkles*. . . .

Ok, I give. . . The whole damn thing is stupid beyond compare.

Can’t wait to watch these fools at the first hints of fall weather.

It’s virtually impossible not to mock these people

I know, and I don’t even pretend I’m trying to resist.

It’s as if a play -performance art with intentional tribal symbolism, is being put on for our benefit, and the Left and Right want our response to be that of dire concern, but for different reasons…….these kids are not “The Tough Meat”. They were used to lure the tough meat out into the streets, but it doesn’t appear that they are interested in responding to the clarion call of the pale pink Marxist like Adbusters.

It’s possible that the tough meat has shown up and is now stealing OWS’s valuables, but that would show contempt for the movement not a validati,on of the movement or interest in joining in.

I would have to agree.

So wait…she has a job but is still in debt? How is that my problem?

Bishop on October 18, 2011 at 1:40 PM

Wait, didn’t YOUR debts vanish overnight once you took your first job?

Jonah Goldberg’s argument, therefore, was fundamentally correct.

In fact, in the general population, only 26% claim to support the Occupiers, while 19% oppose, and a majority of 52% don’t care one way or the other.

After listening to that human amoeba with the bull horn…

… How can 52% don’t care?

That has to be the most annoying thing and has me reaching for a baseball bat…

Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.) Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities. Where socialism abolished money and prices, fascism controlled the monetary system and set all prices and wages politically. In doing all this, fascism denatured the marketplace. Entrepreneurship was abolished. State ministries, rather than consumers, determined what was produced and under what conditions.

Nevertheless a few industries were operated by the state….like GM and so called Green Energy?

No one in the media will use the term “Fascism” to describe our current government, well they are owned by corporations.,

Immediately followed by twinkles.

Michael Bloomberg had a nightmare. There was a rich green lawn in his city, and for a month it was littered with sleeping bags and tents and garbage, and a police car was covered with human waste. Then he woke up…and it was true.

Somebody tell Michael Bloomberg they love him.

Call it crony capitalism, call it corruption – it’s all the same.

Or you could try calling it what it is fascism

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.

Call it crony capitalism, call it corruption – it’s all the same.
