Rightwing Talking Points 101. Rumors and propaganda to be mixed with facts and applied to the entire sum. Ignoring page after page of unarmed American citizens....military veterans of multiple wars, retired police officers, active firefighters...you know....Americans....being illegally attacked, hospitalized, gassed, and imprisoned without cause. And why? Because they oppose the Corporate corruption of Government and policy. Corruption which is a fact, and as with the "Pizza-is-a-vegetable", an obvious fact to anyone who isn't ignorantly partisan to being butthurt over American patriots exercising their rights against the "safety" of the status quo. But, I don't expect you to accept those numerous and proven facts. And that's fine. I just expect you to continue with vague Conservatively-fueled disdain. Which is also fine. History will prove one of us incorrect. So far, mine seems to be winning. ;\)


I think those cops who assault unarmed, peaceful protestors should be fired, tried, and convicted of said crime. I'm also smart enough to know that not everyone at those protests are peaceful. Fact is that hundreds of people eating and shitting in one place for two months is unhealthy. Again, you miss the fact that camping on private property for months isn't a right. I'd have no problem with those people protesting and going home afterwards. Camping out for this long isn't really doing anything for them. Public opinions polls prove that. Before it might have been about changing how the government treats Wall Street. Now, it's a bunch of people wanting to feel good about themselves and thinking they own whatever they want.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
