The big Anti-Draft protest took place in NYC during the Civil War. The protest was mostly immigrant Irish who did not want the slaves freed any way.  The Irish on the bottom of the economic scale of the day knew it would dump more cheap labor on the market.  How did Abe Lincolin the great Emancipator handle this?  He ordered the Army to shoot them. Was Lincloin worried about some one getting red eyes from pepper spray??  No he stopped it with bayonets and .69 Caliber lead balls. Civil disobedience has always carried a risk. :o

Everyone of you gripe and complain with what is going on in our country today, but you belittle the people protesting these very same things. For those of you who are making light of this event as programmed by the main stream media, please take a minute to think about the situation. This is the third week of protest and it is spreading. You guys keep telling me that nothing short of a revolution is going to change things, but there will never be a revolution because there is too many lowlife scumbags who don't care. Now these same people that you say are preventing a revolution are who you are say is protesting??? Trying to come to an understanding with this mindset, but using logic it is impossible for me.

HEATHER. If these were legitimate protests, basicaly against the govt, why are they everywhere but where they should be?? On the steps and streets of Washington DC. I still think it is ploy by obama and his coconspirators to push his worthless jobs bill and get votes. POWDERMAN.  :o :o

Agreed. Some of these low life scumbags do nothing but sit around jawing and fantasizing that everything is an Obama conspiracy.
There are some legitimate gripes being presented by the protests.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

If these parasites think they are revolutionary let em shed blood. Thing is they are parasites and they are all bluff and bluster and afraid to shed their own blood. A bunch of cowards who spit on cops and then can't deal with the consequenses. Weak blood sucking coward parasites.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Do they or anyone for that matter have a right to protest? Well, of course they do. I support that fact, but it doesn't hurt a thing to take a look at this protest & of course we all have an equal right to disagree with the intent of the protest.
 
It is for the most part an anti-Capitalism event. I would not say that 100% feel that way, since some don't know why they are there. I have seen no hint whatsoever of any freeenterprise thought, I don't think you will see that footage & it's not just the media, afterall some are standing off at a distance  ;D  & could supply us some good youtube to show this free enterprise stuff, but I don't look for that to happen.
 
But No Sir , I won't complain about the mere fact that anyone protests, even though many of these folks would have problems with the Tea Party protests, such is with Lib/Leftist "fairness". But I do have problems with blocking Bridges, Business entrances for those working & Violence that is soon to follow. And the groups that are aligning themselves with these protests is quite telling & I suspect the violence is soon to come. We have Moveon.org, Labor Unions & various Dem leaning far left group names are showing up. No John Burchers in this bunch & even though we all know this, watch how this goes as it grows. ;)

   I'm waiting to see what the place looks like after they leave;  That will speak more about their character, than all their screaming and shouting has done.

    When we find out who is really behind this movement, we can see opportunists trying to hook onto to the "Arab Spring" chaos and build upon it.  http://kleinonline.wnd.com/2011/10/02/wall-street-agitators-target-u-s-capitalism-brooklyn-bridge-shut-down-radicals-training-for-confrontation/     Is this what we really want ?
   We have seen Obama play the class warfare thing to the hilt recently.  He is well aware that he stands little chance of being re-elected by free, thinking people..so his next move is to "balkanize" the US..       "Divide and conquer"..is the old term..
 
  Let's just THINK a bit..  If government is getting too cozy with Wall street, Isn't it just as important to let Washington, DC know just how disgruntled we are?  Shouldn't this mob be down there occupying the White House and capitol grounds ?  If a cozy relationship exist between Wall st & Washington, isn't it the duty of the elected reps to break these ties ?  Politicians, who are elected are more likely to listen to great groups of people....we elect them, we can "de-elect" them !!
 
   NO, Obama has called for hatred to be slammed against the rich and by golly, that's just what his trained lemmings (or mice)  are going to do !!
  Everybody should have noticed the rant by Roseanne Barr the other day about"re-education camps and execution of those that won't retrain".. is right out of Bill Ayers' book, "Rules for Radicals".   (Ayers is Obama's neighhbor and friend who launched Obama's bid for election).
 
   Those who fall for it..enjoy the piper's tune..we will ALL likely pay for it..

Maybe if they spent as much time finding work, or starting a business, they too could be part of that upper crust. Funny how a guy like Hermain Cain can make himself out to be a millionare, with a good work ethic and determination. And so many just want to have it handed to them.  gypsyman

The funny thing about this entire demonstration is that, no one knows what they want, including the demonstrators.  ???
 

What 'Occupy Wall Street' really wants By DAVID HARSANYI
 Last Updated: 4:54 AM, October 6, 2011
 Posted: 10:21 PM, October 5, 2011
             More Print   OK, I haven’t been able to track down a coherent list of demands from the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd, but from what I can tell it would go something like this:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women and transgendered -- and any other human who is able to elude the tyranny of work for a couple of weeks -- are created equal. We gather to be free not of tyranny, but of responsibility and college tuitions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a government long established and a nation long prosperous be changed for light and transient causes. So let our demands be submitted to a candid world.
       First, we are imbued with as many inalienable rights as a few thousand college kids and a gaggle of borderline celebrities can concoct, among them a guaranteed living-wage income regardless of employment and immediate across-the-board debt forgiveness -- even if that debt was acquired taking on a mortgage with a 4.1 percent interest rate and no money down, which, we admit, is a pretty sweet deal in historical context ...
But down with the modern Gilded Age!
We demand that a Master of Fine Arts in musical theater writing, with a minor in German, become an immutable human right, because education is crucial and rich people can afford to fund unemployment checks until we find jobs or in perpetuity, whichever comes first.
We demand a minimum wage of $10, no ... make it $20. We earned it. And we demand the end of “profiteering,” because there is no better way to end joblessness than stopping the growth of capital. We also demand a maximum wage law, because selfish American dreams need a firm ceiling.
We demand the institution of direct democracy, because if a bunch of people say it’s OK, it’s OK. And everyone deserves to have his or her voice heard.
Except Mr. Moneybags, who we demand stop contributing his own money to candidates we disagree with, to issue groups we loathe and to lobbyists who do not work for organizations featuring “Service,” “Employees,” “International” and/or “Union” in their title.
We demand the end to bailouts and corporate subsidies, unless we’re talking about companies that feature sunflowers or sun rays in their logos, because that’s the kind of morally gratifying institution we approve of, and thus, they should totally be fast-tracked and bailed out with your money to bring the fossil-fuel economy (“the economy”) to an end.
We demand the end to a corrupt Wall Street (“Apple,” “your 401(k)”) because banks hold too much power. We demand that government consolidate authority so that elected officials can make prudent choices for us. All that cash in banks was printed by the war god Mars and has nothing to do with the voluntary deposits by ordinary Americans, so we do not consider this theft.
We demand the end to corporate censorship, because if we can’t force private news organizations to run the types of stories with which we agree, there can’t be a healthy democracy. So actually, we demand the end of all corporate news organizations in the name of free speech.
We demand the end to health profiteering, because everyone knows that all the wondrous and lifesaving advances in modern medicine were invented in the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos. Smart people work for the good of humanity, not because they’re greedy.
We demand these rights because of the mass injustice of being able to freely protest against racism and corporatism without any real fear of imprisonment in the most diverse city on earth. And to the wiseguy who walked by the other day and claimed that I’d be writing this manifesto with a quill pen on parchment paper if it weren’t for capitalism, we have two words for you: Koch brothers. Think about it.
This is the fifth communiqué from the 99.9 percent. We are occupying Wall Street, and we’re not going home until it gets really cold.

Why would you bother demonstrating if you have no clue what your disrupting everybody else's life for.  When you demonstrate, at least demonstrate for a cause.

  This revolution has no focus. But it does have a class system.
On one end of Zuccotti Park, where the unorganized, unhinged Occupy Wall Street demonstration is entering its third week, sit the elite. They’re young, overwhelmingly white, college-age kids banging Mac laptops, and yelling into iPhones before bedding down in Brooklyn.
On the other end, mercifully separated by a mountain of tarpaulins, sleeping bags and human refuse I would not touch with a Hazmat suit, sleep the Smelly Ones. Standing downwind of this human biohazard isn’t pretty.
We’re here at the protest epicenter, the planetary point where bitchery meets bellyaching. And it makes no kind of cosmic sense.
       Folks here are discontented! Angry about everything from greedy banks and corporations stealing their futures -- for which they may have some kind of point -- to, as one man confided in me, his alcoholic father,.
Three weeks into the revolution, there is no common theme.
At the periphery sit well-heeled thrill-seekers who’ve traveled from Virginia Beach, Seattle, Ohio and Portland, Ore.
Others come from Mars.
Like the guy who marched with a sign announcing that he was the “Fart Smeller.’’ Say what?
“It’s not a joke,’’ he said, as serious as open-heart surgery, showing me a photograph of his important work. “I go up to women and ask to smell their ...’’
At the stinky end of the park, I met a smart man, Phillip Belpasso, 64, in a filthy Army-style jacket, who said he’s been in Zuccotti Park “pretty much since the Towers came down.’’ A decade?
“This all happened around me, sort of,’’ he said. “Say, have you figured out what’s going on here yet? I don’t even know if they know what they’re for. ’’
Ian K., who passed as an official -- the word “Security’’ was on the “Hello’’ sticker on his chest -- informed silly me that having a point isn’t really the point.
 
“There isn’t a coherent message,’’ said Ian, 30. “The fact is that we are individuals. You’d have to ask every single individual and you’d get varying answers.’’
The lack of what Ian called a “uniformity of commonality of message’’ was wearing on Calum McPherson-Smith, 23, who’d taken a bus here from Virginia Beach 10 days earlier.
“I came because I’m hopeful this will grow into something to combat a giant, vast disease affecting our society and socioeconomic system,’’ he said. “We don’t look serious! We look like a bunch of dirty kids hanging out!’’
He obviously doesn’t realize that if you need a point, you don’t belong here in the first place.

   Crusty;
  The Tea Party did the most honest and complete exposure of just what is wrong with the federal government today,
  And they did it without being obnoxious, infringing on others doing business,  free travel and they weren't confrontational with police.  They didn't punctuate their gathering with filthy talk, filthy signs or filthy bodies.  Nor did they Jew-bait, as some did..
 
  So, where were you when these folks were holding clean-cut, legal and orderly gatherings..pointing out the failings of the federal government ? 
     ..So why were you not giving the Tea Party due credit ?

I like the fruitcakes who are protesting having to pay back the student loan debt THEY wrung up. Especially the nards who studied in a field that has no paying jobs in the real world.

BTW there have been several charged with spitting on the police and other assaults on officers.

Yep, I have been to TEA party meetings.  All clean cut, family people, many brought their children and strollers.  Didn't litter, etc.  They were very concerned about their future, their childrens future, the size of the Federal government, the Federal budget, bailouts, taxes, etc.  Bottom line, all TEA parties want less Government interference in their lives, no Obamacare, no more bailouts, lower taxes, and pay off the Federal deficit.  Get PRIVATE jobs and industry back to America by lower taxes, less regulation. 
 
The EPA is out of control.  Farmers can't clear their own land for pastures or fields.  You can't dig a ditch to install a gas, phone, power, or TV cable if it distrubes over 1 acre without and Environmental permit, EVEN in DEVELOPED areas which is where these utilities go.  Can't drill for oil, natural gas without permits, even on private property.  Drilling today is not like it was, with a lot of wells all over the place.  You can drill one well and horizontal drill in 8 different directions for up to 2 miles or more to tap reserves. 
 
Now with Obamacare they want to tell you want they will and will not cover or pay for.  I don't want the government to decide what is right for me. 
 
I am fed up with big government.  My job has more paperwork and is much harder under Obama than before.  Rediculous.  If these kids want jobs, they need to get the idiot out of the White House.  Open up to private industry.  Just opening up the drilling in the US will reap a 13 trillion windfall for the Federal government in 10 years and get us independent of foreign oil and give us about 1.8 million new jobs.

This uprising by malcontents is an extension of the "Arab Spring"..and incorporates a motley mix of communists, Islamists, anti-Jew and the plain, old lazy.
  Remember..Glen Beck predicted months ago that this unrest would spread here.  He pointed out that much of the administration in Washington and their advisers are from the radicals of the 60s & 70s..so they have a  natural affinity for radical riot in the streets.
  What else is a "commmunity organizer" any good at ?
 
  The prez veep and many Democrats, are praising or endorsing these mobs...which category do most of THEM come under ?
 
    Here's some of the anti=Jew, anti_Isarel harping.. don't know if hew is anti-semite an Islamist ..or both;

The official list of complaints of the Occupy Wall Street organizers is a Socialist agenda. I'm sure few of the people at those protests know the full extent of the complaint list. I have listened  and read countless media reports and have yet to hear anyone of them talk about or show the full list. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS etc, know the full list, but they refuse to exspose it becasue if they did, my guess is many if not all TPers would leave and so would anyone who claims to be a Libertarian, Constitutional conservative or small government advocate, etc. Yes, there is overlap in the list. But what the heck, who does not want jobs and a fair tax process? Its when you highlight the pure liberal socialist items, you find the contrast.

One thing that appears common over and over about the "99%" ers. They rack up tremendous debt getting worthless degrees, seriously, an Art History degree doesn't get you the big bucks?  You're kidding? Then they want all the debt erased because they get a degree "for something they love" . Who told them they will get a job that pays half decent "for something they love". The job fairy? Maybe instead of getting a degree for what really should be your hobby, you should get a degree in something that people actually need skilled employees to do. What a novel concept.  I just read that in the next 20 years, there will be over 10 million jobs in the US that employers won't be able to find skilled employees to fill.It is already becoming s serious problem. Maybe train for one of those jobs?


Read this, read the 99%'s signs.

An Open Letter to the Self-Proclaimed ’99%’

Self-delusion is no way to go through life, but it’s clear from perusing the “We Are the 99 Percent” web site that self-delusion has become an epidemic. Anyone who believes that they represent 99% of Americans, without any supporting evidence, doesn’t. Deluding yourself that you do leaves you unprepared for opposition and rejection.

The 99 percent site reminds me of the “Sorry Everybody” site, on which liberals posted photographs of themselves apologizing to the world for the re-election of George W. Bush. Perhaps many of the 99 percenters still haven’t quite come to grips with that defeat. Regardless, common themes emerge from the photos posted there — excessive academic credentials that are mostly unrelated to producing anything in the real economy, high personal self-regard, massive personal debt, and shattered dreams.









For those whom those terms above describe, and it’s a heavy majority of the 99 percenters, it’s evident that they hold to a certain political world view in which abstract credentials entitle you to a comfortable life, and that the fact that you dream something entitles you to have it. In the real world, neither has ever been true. The world doesn’t care about your credentials. It doesn’t care about your self-esteem. It doesn’t care that you chose of your own free will to rack up a mountain of debt. It doesn’t now owe you a painless way out of that debt. And it really doesn’t care about your dreams.







That’s not an indictment of the times in which we live. In fact, if you take the sweep of human history into account, these times are obviously the most accommodating of our personal aspirations, by far. The Hobbesian world of short, brutish, and nasty lives still exists all over the world, but mostly far outside the America that has so disillusioned the 99 percenters. America is not a dark Dickensian place where wishes can’t come true, it’s a free land where anyone can succeed if they have enough determination, some useful skills, and a little luck. And of the three, luck is probably the least relevant. This was true at our nation’s founding, and despite the efforts of some, remains true today.

The self-proclaimed 99 percenters say they want jobs, and they cast blame hither and yon for why they don’t have them. Some seem to have replaced faith in God with faith in the state, faith which the state has never earned and will not live up to. But I’m not here to blame the unemployed among the 99 percenters. It’s a tough economy out there, the toughest in a very long time, and once you lose your job for whatever reason, it can be very tough to get another one. Anyone who has ever been unemployed, and most of us have been at one point or another, knows the terror of waking up each day without the dignity of work and the expectation of future gains. You feel the anxiety in your gut and in your chest. I don’t wish that feeling on anyone.

It’s good and right that the 99 percenters want jobs. It’s worth pointing out that it’s not necessarily the Wall Street bankers who are making things so tough to get jobs. The voters, presumably many among the 99 percenters included, elected someone who promised to “fundamentally transform” America. In order to transform anything at a fundamental level, much must be torn down first. And when the mighty tear anything down, the average person is often the one who ends up getting broken. That is how things have always been, and no weepy Internet photo gallery will change that. No political system will change that. If anything, capitalism makes such destruction less harmful to the average person.

The regulatory environment has private enterprise, the engine of the American economy, too skittish to consider hiring. That’s not my opinion, it’s the opinion of business leaders ranging from Donald Trump to BET Chairman Robert Johnson. When the government, for whatever reason, makes the business climate uncertain, businesses react negatively, hold back on hiring, and jobs become scarce. “Fundamental transformation” has its price, and many of the 99 percent page are paying it. Put another way, if you try to “bring down the system,” don’t be shocked if the system comes down on your own head.

So the 99 percenters need to do a few things, in my opinion. First, they need to put aside the notion that the world owes them a job. It doesn’t, and never did. They need to assess what makes them worth hiring, and then act accordingly. If you don’t have any marketable skills, get some. They need to put aside the delusion that they represent 99 percent of their fellow Americans. They don’t and never will. They need to come to grips with the fact that their unrealistic view of the world is not only getting in their way, it’s a big part of what has made our economy as weak as it is.

Will they 99 percenters heed any of this? Eh, at most maybe one percent will. It’s best to keep our expectations realistic.

One of the areas in my life where I would call myself a conservative is financially. My step-daughter is in her mid 20s and is slowly but steadily working her way through college with minimal loans or help from her mother and I. We did have some discussions in the past concerning what she would ideally like to do and what was practical to do, especially in this economy. She first wanted to get a psychology degree, but she really did not want to get at a minimum of a masters to have a shot at any kind of decent paying jobs. She then wanted to go into elementary education but when I told her that where I work at we get about 100 applications for every elementary teaching position she decided that was not practical. Finally with further research and discussion she has settled on becoming a speech path. YEA! Job openings all over the place. Besides getting mostly As and a B here and there she is working evenings and weekends as an attendant care person for people with cerebral palsy, literally wiping butts, etc. but she is doing it. Students really have to consider what will keep them reasonably employed despite what their "love work" may be.

Sounds like she's had some good guidance and is on course.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

Occupy Wall Street is nothing more than a political ploy to divert attention away from the real problem, which is the White House vulnerability in the upcoming 2012 elections. The primary motive they have is to save Obama. The second motive is to lie to people (which is working) and draw in other groups to their Socialist agenda. Listen to the democrat strategist talking heads. They provide cover for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Its great diversion from the sickness in the White House.
 
Yes, Wall Street has its ills and undue influence in Washington and the State Houses. So do the Unions and other groups. But protesting on Wall Street is akin to protesting at a prison because you think criminal sentences are too lean. It makes little sense on the point. But that is because they are trying to divert attention away from the real problem and that is sick and disgusting Obama/White House.

I hear what your saying TM. My only problem is that’s not what is posted on the Occupy Wall Street web site as their stated list of gripes. My conclusion that they are Socialists is by reading the totality of what they want. As an example, they say that a college education is a “Human Right”. Another, is their stated objective(s) for animal rights. Are these two things anything other than liberal socialist born ideas?

The problem is, is that these parasites have no clue what it is to earn a living. They go to school to do what "they love" well these idiots have to learn that what they "love" doesn't always pay. We need factory workers and construction people here too they need to get a job and shut up. Nothing but a bunch of parasites who have no idea what it is like to earn a living and work your way up. Education, if you go to work and work hard you will get the best education you will ever find. I am sorry college grads, they are only so many managment positions out there, you need to have people to manage.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

That BHO forces will try to hyjack and lead the opposition is likely true, and that the GOPer neocons will villify claiming anti-semtism,marxism or whatever is also true......Moore, Sarandon, Meyers, Soros forces, etc sent in....Certain 'mouth pieces' now appearing as 'spokespeople' appearing on Telaversion have been identified as government agents (even exo-military spec ops pushing phoney marxist claims) attempting to steal/steer the rebellion....some of these agents are from Europe, too... The soul of the movement wants BHO and the rest of the criminals arrested and deposed...The movemnet basically wants Wall St criminals deposed and fairness brough back to our system and to break up the logjam of accumulated capital whcih is preventing jobs and progress.

Process now breaking down into open rebellion...but from agitation from 'demo breakers' brought in, or in real confrontation...

    I watched a few seconds of that video..but I saw all that crap and playacting back in the 60s..even to the point where the profeaaionally trained rioters brought their own "blood" to splash on their heads..and fake serious injury.  Something like those palestinian "funerals"  .....where the corpse gets dumped..then jumps up again to get on the stretcher..
  Yes, mthey will flood Youtube.com.. with "police atrocities"...all part of the plan laid out by "community organizer" types, in order to drum up some sympathy.
   If the "soul" of this mob really wants Obama out, why aren't they camped out, down by the White House fence..instead of on Wall street ?
   If they are not sold out to the Hollyweird crowd.. why do they welcome the likes of Moore, Sarandon etc. ?
 
  Then you say they want to separate the big guys on Wall st from what they legally own...don't see how they can do that without installing communism.
 
  I have seen many of those confused people interviewed..none said they wanted to oust Obama, in fact most want him reinstalled, regardless how he has messed up everything from the medical and the military... to jobs and the economy...
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
