The Teacher Unions exist in the same way the Taliban and Al Qaida exist in their native populations.  Most of our teachers don't want to be involved one way or the other; just "peacefully co-exist".  Even if an administrator starts to come down on a teacher of quality, by that time, if their not dullard union material, they're already working on an MBA to go out into the real world and excel.  That's why you see the dullards and their placards!  Probably 50% of the adults at "Occupy Wall Street" were education majors, psych and sociology, commie history, and geography.

Woooooeeee! This is a humdinger

During the debt debate, many people here said that we would be unwise to pass on our bills to our children and grandchildren. Looks like they received the bill. That is good, because we are a republic , but also a participatory democracy. This too is mentioned in the constitution, the whole thing about the right to assemble. And the bottom line is this: bank's lobbyists write banking regs. Traders lobbyists write the rules for derivatives and so. So rather go to Washington and protest the lawmakers they went directly to the source of the cash. Though in truth there are other sources from all over  the land that are just as equally responsible from all over the political spectrum.

Lawrence Lessig, author of "Republic Lost" brilliantly illustrates the many problems that arise from the fact that many well meaning politicians have to constantly raise money. Here is a brief article from "Forbes"  in which Mr. Lessig teams with Mark Meckler, head of Tea Party Patriots in a confernce to discuss campaign.

As I read all, I wish to take issue with Mr. Steven Upshaw.  As a Mason I can say that all Masons I know in  Jacksonville want to see Obama go. Each and every one of them!!!  Many have served there country and would give all to see that we all are free. The Masonic Bible is the same as yours. All have worked hard and none I know take anything they have not earned. Food stamps, etc.  Many are tea party members. The USA has 14 or more Presidents that were Masions to include George Washington and FDR. Each would turn over in there graves knowing what this country has been and what is now before us. May we stand together without finding falt. The issue should be " LET US ALL GET RID OF OBAMA"

Mr. Honiker that is why I put that caveat into my question about them giving up their end capitalism crap.  One criticism of this group that I think is very valid is how many of them are young and impressionable.  That is bad but can also be good because they can be shown a more focused target for their anger and have that anger vented towards the right group.  Better to use the rage and anger and point it in the right direction.

 

The Federal Reserve poses more of an immediate threat then does their stupidity and we are going to need as many people banded together for that common good as we can.  Don't think the Fed has not influenced the very education that you are criticizing these people for and is partially to blame for the wrong ideas these people have about our country.  If you really want to help this country we all need to put asides some or our differences for a time and fight the real enemy.  Once that is done we can go back to worrying about other issues but until that is done silencing these people is not going to solve our countries problems.

Steve no matter what common belief I might share with the Wall street occupiers there will be one insurmountable gap, they have allowed their minds to be hijacked by Marxist crap!

This is the issue above all others, witting or unwitting they are supporting Marxist tyranny.

any organization or candidate who has pulling the mask off the fed in their crosshairs would have my complete support.

You know I would. I have been pounding the table for monetary reform for years. Years ago, people had no idea what I was talking about. More and more people are figuring it out and standing up against the Fed and the corrupt system of banking we have.

There is such a thing as honest banking... just not today, not here and unless we do something all of this ends badly.
