Great post, Bob.  A real eye opener as to who those folks are.

What a bunch of brainwashed people.  How will they feel when mom and dad's 401 and retirement funds drop!  Don't the union members realize their retirements are also invested?   Maybe jr will have to find a job (oh I forgot the government (tax payper) will support them!

The SEIU guy is troubling, you know, the one following this man wherever he goes.  Not a union action the lady states, while the seiu guy is following the man.  Are you kidding me?  capitalism, thumbs down until you realize the man with the camera does not agree with your answer.  Here we go, I'm a socialist... she says.  Graduate school is where she learned it.  I agree with what she states, poverty is the leading indicator of crime.  It's too bad about her brother.

I'm more concerned with what our movement will become.  Where will it lead?  I am hoping like you that we get a tea party led majority in the senate and that we fill the presidency with a true Tea Party idealist.

 

What I am afraid will happen is we will be misled down a path where social issues become our main concern.  I am referring to issues such as abortion, drug use, capital punishment, and you can fill in the blank.

 

I think not only do we not want to become a socialist nation. France or Greece have shown us that is a path to a pauper state.  Neither do we want to be any type of nation that uses it's government to infringe upon our rights as granted to us not only by our Constitution, but also by The Almighty himself.

My point is there are many left minded people who realize we must decrease our national debt.  They are also business owners, cashiers, teachers, fireman, and police officers.  They have their beliefs about abortion, gun control, and a myriad of other social issues.  They do realize things cannot continue as they are.  They understand the debt being an issue.  They understand our way of life is threatened.  They know changes must be made, but they are far from socialist.

 

Those folks on the street want the federal government to control everything, but I am hoping there are many at home, who call themselves democrat, who still believe in capitalism.

 

Does anyone have a plan, after we win next year, for what changes we are going to want to make to the current system?  I know we want to reduce spending, to lessen the control of government.  We want to decrease regulations and free business up to grow again.  But, what are we going to do with the folks that cannot find a job in the meantime?  I'm assuming it will take years to begin to climb out of the recession, particularly if we are ending the jobs of numerous middle class who are dependent upon the national government, and their many programs, for an income.

 

I mean, these folks in NYC, and out in LA, are starting protests and we haven't even kicked in the austerity measures yet. What are the streets of America going to look like when the spending really does slow down?  We believe business will rebound, and jobs will be created, but what happens if the jobs pay half as much as a persons previous job?  America is not ready to be poorer.  I promise you, they are not.

Some are, but they are few and far between.  We are competing in a global economy where workers compete with each other from across oceans.  Are we prepared to close our borders and become self sufficient and have a closed economic society, or see many people move down and out of the middle class? The Chinese factory worker works for much less than the American factory worker, and that is the bottom line.  If we want manufacturing jobs we may have to accept those jobs at a lower wage.  America must get poorer.  Our businesses must be allowed to compete.  This is what it is all going to be about.

I hope those in the know are ready for what is coming.  I predict riots.  We will have to find new ways to provide the basic services, at a much lower cost.  Compared to the Chinese, American workers will be living quite well, but to compared to the good ole' days of 2004 they will be living in a lower socio- economic class.  Many are not prepared for this fact.

Eventually, of course, when industry builds their factories here agai

Good old SEIU. All purpose enemies of liberty.

Comment by Mary Jane Travis on October 8, 2011 at 12:59pm

how is a professor for a semester so influential that he can mold students into thinking that socialism is successful? What kind of education was she exposed to for the first 12 years?- she thinks that the one in prison who robbed  because he was poor is ok?

 what is this country turning into?? Please God help us to save our lives and our country

I do have to admit that I am curious about the gathering of these people at Hemming Park and I am not sure why. Perhaps it's the fact that I have never seen that many nuts in one place before or maybe its the desire in me to go and stomp the crap out of a commie. Either way Billies advice to stay away seems to be the smart thing to do.

Steve, agreed. She is, well,  .......hard to describe.

85MCstang pardon my misspelling of the word and you are right she is not a victim but I am not sure how to discribe her or them other than mislead.

Steve--- 'Victim'.....? No, I don't think so. You know the old saying "ignorance is bliss".
