    • Nope...the government and the corporations decided a long time ago that we had no say in their agendas and protesting is a major no-no.

      Funny how people get all up in arms over healthcare but seem to overlook this kind of thing that's been going on for many years. And it's getting worse.

      The corporations now control the government. The FDR big government was not a threat, but the corporate controlled government is the worse of all worlds. The only reason corps exist is to acquire more and more wealth, and if they control the government, then they have the muscle and the right also.

      So sad to see our wonderful country go this way.

    • This looks much like China, the Old Soviet, or Iran.

      Can this be America? The people have no right to protest corporate power or actions?

      the thing is...you just can't disguise asshole

      it always manages to show through...

      that and the fact that the cops always manage to look a little too beefy for the crowd they're trying to blend in with.

      LMAO!

      It was GW Bush who let the Blackwater monsters into our government. GW Bush started the private security goons on their way.
      This is just terrible. Obama should cancle what Bush placed in motion. But presidents tend to keep all the powers that their predecessors had.............................
