@Douglas and Amanda

Why don't you tell me what enlightened political theorists you whole heartedly support, so I know what I'm talking to.

Amanda;

You are hostile and sarcastic in your answer to Patricia who IS a patriot. What is troubling is your rejection of the values we stand for though your uncritical support of the mob on Wall Street. Do you really admire marxism as they say they do? Do you admire the anti semitism of one of their thugs baiting an old Jewish gentleman? Please share what words of wisdom you have heard from that crowd if you can. Or are you just a provocateur? By the way, what do the Koch brothers have to do with this discussion?

Patricia, you are a great patriot.

Not many people have the courage to stand up and say the truth. Students should just be happy we didn't eat them when they were young and tender. They aren't Americans and don't have a say in what goes on in this country. And if they do stand up for themselves and say enough, you are among the few who has the courage to say sit down and shut up. You aren't afraid to call them commies, thugs, brainwashed idiots. You though have the fortitude to do so with only a little knowledge of what is going on.

By the way, where is your courage to stand up to the Koch brothers for profitting from selling their products to Iran.

When have I called for the overthrow of government.  Never I will always call for a reduction in government to the levels that are Constitutionally mandated but not the outright abolishing of government.  If you read my comments I am against spitting out talking points of any one party you are right many of these people cannot think for themselves.  The same could be said for many on both the right and the left that is why almost all interviews from people on one side or another sound so incredibly similar.  I have not said that these people are misguided as I think many of them are I have not defended them past the point of some people making it out like all of them are morons.  I am defending the message that founded the movement which was the corruption that exist between certain large corporations and our political class.

 

I work at a full time job, raise a family (wife and three kids), and am working my ass off to start a business in the few hours of spare time I have daily so one day I can be one of those rich people that many of these people are saying they don't like so don't get it confused with thinking I'm on the their side about everything.  Don't try and make it sound like I'm defending every idiot that is out there if you read some of my comment I'm not.  I am defending the few that are out there with legitimate issues and the message that founded the movement. 

 

I can't believe you don't see how when companies buy politicians and then laws are passed to protect the companies that buy the politicians that is so far against what our country was founded on it isn't even funny.  Our politicians are supposed to protect citizens rights and liberties not the rights and liberties of corporations.  Corporations, contrary to what Mr. Romney said, are not people they are not what our founding fathers fought and died for it was the people.  Government by the people for the people NOT bought by corporations for the corporations. 

 

You talk about going and using our legal system, the same one that makes laws favoring corporations.  You mean like the people in New London, CT that had their property taken away.  Or like the campaign finance reform that was supposed to get the money out of Washington and has done the exact opposite.  How about TARP that was supposed to help the people and only helped banks and large companies (passed with bipartisan support).  Or stimulus that was again supposed to help the people and the money went to huge companies and special interest. Or the patriot act that was supposed to be for defending us against terrorist and has been turned on US citizens.  All of these things are unconstitutional but they all get past and Americans get screwed in favor of corporations or special interest groups.  I could keep going but my point is when politicians pass laws it is close to impossible in our current system, for a regular person to fight against those laws.

@ Tim, I am really glad that you are so informed. I am equally impressed by your ability to research what you don't know.

@ Douglas

You are wasting everyone's time drone. You can take your "human mic" and insert it in your Barney Frank!

Comment by Douglas Newberry on October 7, 2011 at 11:48am

Mybe its time you turned off Glen Beck Patricia...

"Did any of you watch the Piven video where they mindless drones repeat every word she says like little 3 year olds?"

What they are doing is called a "Human Mic", since they are not allowed a PA system, bullhorns or megaphones... they repeat what is said so that people in the back can hear the speaker... "smell the coffee!

It seems to me that YOU are the one mindlessly parrating what you have heard... the same thing YOU accuse the "useful idiots" of... ????

KC, and there will be garbage.  Liberals always need someone to clean up after them as we have found out the last over 3 years.  They never seem to be able to throw anything in a garbage can or clean up behind themselves and think the rest of us should do the heavy lifting for them (because they are all so special).

Well stated Patricia! I wish we had 'like' buttons!

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on October 7, 2011 at 11:43am

Steve, if there is a problem with a company and the government officials doing something they should not, then, you use the legal system, but you do not overthrow our form of government and allow the same corrupt government officials to run everything.  At least I wouldn't.  Did you both watching the video with Piven.  It is a huge tell for all these mindless idiots who are down at wall street protesting.  They repeat everything; they have no ability to think for themselves at all.  These are supposed to be college graduates who should have long ago mastered critical thinking ability, but no one worked on that, because they might not have done the work of these wack jobs who are trying to get themselves put in charge of bringing this country down.  I keep hearing a couple of people saying I am not gonna support them; I am not gonna do this and I am not gonna do that, and to them I might ask, what exactly is it that you do plan to do or are you also sitting on your behind waiting, as the young people on wall street are doing, waiting for a handout?  And sorry, I don't consider disagreeing with someone to be insulting them and certainly those who support the communists on wall street make no apology for coming on here and telling most of us how wrong we are.....................insulting works both ways.  Did any of you read the article?   Did any of you watch the Piven video where they mindless drones repeat every word she says like little 3 year olds?
