I think they just amplified that party, I also think that parties thoughts are from infowars.com, but that could just be me... =)

LOL!!!! =)

Yes, they seem to expect that if they paid for college - or borrowed for it - someone OWES them a job, IN THEIR FIELD.

The PROCLAIM that they represent the "99%," but of course they do not.

It is most irksome when they attack the brave police. But also when they destroy property. And also when they demand shelter and food while protesting. And their occupation of private property is to be condemned, of course. The rapes and muggings are deplorable, along with the trashing of parks.

if you think one can get a degree in something as specific as 17th century poetry then you probably

a. never walked into a university
b. have walked into a university but went to the stadium
c. none of the above
d. have mixed feeling but currently waiting for the test results

my friend they say when we speak we bear the mark of our class or something like that... I speak more than 1 language some speak more, i play piano, some can play more, some cant do either but none of this important what is key is that we are demonstrating equality because we all poses the capacity to learn what the other knows. Denying that is the basis for every revolution or even counter revolution, the 99 percent are you and if they/we are clever then we will join you as an equal to stand with as comrades.. to the future, friend!

Congratulations on sticking with the piano lessons, I'm sure your Mom is proud.

Ah, yes.. Those "brave" police. You mean the ones pepper spraying innocent people? The ones beating people? Bullies with badges.. every.last.one.of.them. Try getting your news from sources other than faux news.

The police restrained themselves. The OWS trash threw rocks and fire bombs at them. They walk up to them and hurl the most ugly expletives in their faces. Those "pepper sprays" were in response to the miscreants blocking the way of the police who were leaving. They deserved billy clubs.

The government DID take measures, and THAT is the reason we are in this mess. Look up the "Community Restoration Act": The GOVERNMENT pressured banks to give loans to people who should not have gotten them, all because some bleeding hearts whined about "racism" in loans, which was absolutely not true, of course.

Then, the people who took out loans they could not afford deserved what they got; they should have realized they could not pay them back, but most were irresponsible and inane.

FDR's policies PROLONGED the Depression; recent estimate are that because of his policies, it lasted 7 years longer.

The TVA, for example, resulted in more economic loss and unemployment. Do you want the data?

Must be the Fair and Balanced they speak of???

The guy is just a Loud Mouth....

"The Hobo Nurses" would be a great name for a rock band.

Like I said 'What a Horrible thing to say'

I'm pretty sure they're cool with "tramps and bums" too...

Yeahhhh, they'd feel like Rambo.

Interesting how people so blithely refer to "veterans" in order to thwart any discussion. Just give a pretense to caring about "veterans" and vola! one has won the conversation.

I just want to ask you to not USE them in this way. I am one.

I was talking about his reference that the veterans that created the tent city in Washington in 1932 were bums. It's a historical event. I'm sure they don't mind being defended.....you WEREN'T one of them.......

Just do not protray OWS as a "movement" that is supported by today's veterans.

Thank you.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

LIES!!!
None of those groups support OWS, they Do support FOX!
I actually know a couple Clansmen in S.C. and they definitely do NOT support OWS and they watch Only FOX for news!
The Russian government, (Communists), do NOT support the global Occupy movement and are actively trying to crush the movement in their country.
As far as Nazis, they are the same as the KKK.

the support of the nazi & communist parties?

two forces who are practically mortal enemies (sarcastically... until an anarchist shows up in the scene)
I'm just shocked at how can people just make up things : /

Ok and so the communist support OWS... so what?

So, do you think that we should implement Communism in America?

If so, please explain.

Thanks, comrade.

i almost spit my coffee out, then I remembered something I never said anything about implementing communism.. you did. so my question is

do you think that we should implement Communism in America?

If so, please explain.

Thanks, comrade.

You are dissembling, of course.

These exchanges started because you disagreed with another poster who asserted that the Communists support OWS. I showed you proof. Then, you responded "So what?" You did not seem to mind the Communists support it. Do you know that all the Socialist parties and organizations also support it? That Van Jones, a commie, supports it? That Hugo Chavez, a socialist and hater of America, supports it? That the main website for the "movement" originally had videos of an Eastern European Communist speeches? Does any of this mean anything at all to you?

The Nazi party were socialists. Socialist and communist are not exactly the same but they are siblings in the same family.

Exactly. Many people will attempt to debate some fine points of differences between Socialists and Nazis, and people with Socialist proclivities will adamantly deny any collary with Nazism, of course.

The Nazis were indeniably anti-capitalist. More than pro-socialist, they were ANTI-capitalist. They USED the bankers and financiers and industrialists to build their state. And these OWS people are primarily anti-capitalist.

But what the Nazis and Socialsts have in common is STATISM. Both want a central authority to control and manage the economy and the lives of the citizens. The root and the trunk of the tree is STATISM, and the branches are Nazism, Socialism, Communism, etc.

This is how our great Founding tradition differs, and in two major respects:

1. The INDIVIDUAL, not the state, is of primary importance. The Left today in America emphasizes the collective.

2. Decentralization. The Left wants to centralize in the federal government - look at ObamaCare - while true patriots who want liberty emphasize DECENTRALIZATION.

not sure where to start but I think the best place is no where.

1. I have said little and you have said it all, dwell on that
2. Really reflect on my first point *
3. Dissembling... nah I'm playing with Détournement

The both of you (I assume) seem to be looking for a fight but as the swordsman Musashi might've done I'm just going to walk away to avoid needless bloodshed.

It is fascinating how people actually believe the propaganda from the Huffington Post, MSNBS's Rachel Madcow, and Mother Jones. These organizations have done a good job manipulating the minds of the unsuspecting into actually believing that the corporations are controlling not only the government, but the minds of the people in one vast conspiracy designed to impoverish the masses, get children back into the factories, and be entertained from people dying on the streets from lack of food and medical care.

You people actually believe that stuff.

I can't believe that you believe that I gather information from any of those news outlets. Sorry you must have me mistaken for someone else

: (

When groups of degenerates espouse communism and socialism, when these people rape and destroy property, when they defecate on the streets, when they disrupt the lives of hard-working citizens, and when they hurl expletives, rocks and firebombs at the brave police, of course it will make the news.

Your characterization of the movement is false, and one-sided, what these people are fighting for also effects (Helps) you. You are not the 1% or you would not be here, the 1% is planning the next scam, FOOL News is reporting this to stoke up Fear in those that follow them. To lie-down and spill blood for the rich in hopes to one day be rich is dim-witted yet predictable. The rich work on a scale of manipulation that is time tested and very effective. Finally the people have rallied on a common issue and the rich are combating them with time tested, separatism and Fear. For you to spew FOOL News talking points further reinforces their tactics.

People are born into the 1% they inherit wealth and live their lives entirely to increase their wealth and reduce wealth of those struggling to make it. This is who you choose to defend? Have you Ever seen the movie, Land of the Dead, normally I would not use a movie but the visual may help you see clearly. There is a character, working for the 1% with hopes of one day joining the 1%, as it turns out the 1% have no intentions of ever letting him (you) into the club. Are you getting the Point?

There are many flaws in your post. First of all, many, if not most, of the super-wealthy were not born into their wealth; they created it. Take Gates, for example. He was born into an upper-middle class family, but he created his wealth and worked hard for it.

Next, the succeeding generations are notorious for NOT maintain the wealth and frittering it away.

Next: Look at Fortune magazine, the top 400 companies. Compare any 10 year listing; you will see that over 70% - on average - are not longer there or have dramatically changed their standing. In other words, wealth comes and goes, and new people enter and older ones vanish.

What you are doing - probably unintended by you - shows you have been well inculcated with a certain type of insidious propaganda by the anti-capitalists: The goal is to convince people that the so-called "wealthy" did not really EARN their wealth; in other words, it is UNDESERVED. This sets the stage for its confiscation.

And a person CAN get in this mythical "club," of course. It is not a closed door.

This is great for the record I did think of bill Gates, however I didn’t mention his because I’m not trying to demonize anyone, He being hardly middle class. The lower-upper were those that did not come from traditionally wealthy families, However plenty people get lucky with money see the NBA, NFL and NBL also see lottery winners, http://www.smartmoney.com/invest/stocks/why-lottery-winners-go-bankrupt-13010021... .
So easy come easy go right? Wrong. “In contrast to the nouveau riche, the upper-upper class was families viewed as "quasi-aristocratic" and "high-society".[4] These had been rich for generations. They lived off idle inheritances rather than earned wealth. During the early 20th century, the upper-upper classes were seen as more prestigious.”
Some families with "old money" include:
• The Rockefeller family: While founder John D. Rockefeller had modest origins and was initially considered "new money", he made billions of dollars in oil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, the Rockefellers became considered "old money" as their wealth was passed down from generation to generation and their lineage still remains wealthy.
• The Du Pont family fortune began in 1803, but they became an extraordinarily wealthy family by selling gunpowder during the American Civil War. By World War I, the DuPont family produced virtually all American gunpowder. In 1968, Ferdinand Lundberg declared the Du Pont fortune to be America's largest family fortune.[5] As of 2008 E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ranked 81st on the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations.[6]
• The Vanderbilt family made their fortune in the railroad industry and other investments. They have been a prominent wealthy family in the United States for 200 years.
• The Astor family made their fortune in the 19th century, through real estate, the hotel industry and other investments.
“Although many "old money" individuals do not rank as high on the list of Forbes Top 400 richest Americans as they once did, their wealth continues to grow. Many families increased their holdings by investment strategies such as the pooling of resources [7] For example; the Rockefeller families estimated net worth of $1 billion in the 1930s grew to $8.5 billion by 2000. In 60 years, four of the richest families in the United States increased their combined $2–$4 billion in 1937 to $38 billion without holding large shares in emerging industries.[8][9]”
Now shall we get closer to the point, these people funding Wars and take over’s of small under developed countries, they back Wars on both sides?
“Economists assert that the largest transfer of income will be as the older generation leaves wealth to the baby boomers. Inheritance has been estimated to make up 6% of the US GDP each year.[11] The current generation is wealthier than any generation before. This increase in wealth and inheritance indicates a rise of "old money" in American families. Stephen Haseler argues that America is becoming an inheritance culture in which much economic opportunity is from family inheritance and not personal achievement.[12]”

List has been reduced to limit this post, but nothing stops you from researching the information yourself. Old money runs this country and it always has, these are the elitist and no they will not invite you to eat at their table, maybe serve them dinner, walk their dogs or wash their Bentleys.

Note: Wikipedia is a good place to start, but don’t stop there, my friend.

all of your posts are total bullsh!t...ignored them until now..the thoughts of a mind controlled 5 year old.

Degenerates... Yep, that works. Calling them tramps reminds me af the Disney dog. Much to mild of a word.

Yes, I have done the "research."

Do it on your own instead of parroting Rachel Madcow.

First, go to the Forbes 400.

Then, look up their backgrounds. Turn off the TV.

#1. Gates. His father went to college on the GI Bill.

#2. Buffet. Son of man who did well and became a Congressman. But hardly "old money." His father attended public schools and the state university of Nebraska. His grandfather just owned a small grocery store.

#3. Larry Ellison. Born to an unwed mother and adopted where he lived in a two-bedroom apartment

#4 & 5. Koches. Grandparents were immigrants. Grandpa was an apprentice printer.

#6. Walton. Sam Walton, founder of same, grew up on a farm. Struggled in the Great Depression.

I am not going to go through 400, of course. But this shows how defunct your "proclamations" are.

I just provided a description of this supposed "old money" that is, according to mindless Left-wingers, running the country. You people really are a bunch of credulous minions, and I am sure Rachel Madcow and others are enjoying your supplications....

Well I was going to chill today but I see Mishima (someday I will be rich too) has more gibberish to spill. 1st off I like Rachel and her facts based reporting, unlike Bill O’s opinion based BS, (God makes Waves? Really?). You can post reference all the scapegoats that you please; cherry picking talking points is typical GOP shallow thinking. I have tried to illustrate the true history of wealth to you, and at the same time show you that you’re fighting for the wrong side. OWS is a movement against the invisible castle walls of the rich/elite, you my friend are on the outside like the rest of us. See the SOPA, a smoke screen to censor web-pages and blogs designed to keep people misinformed and dependent on supposed real news that is controlled by the rich/elite.

You’re Hiroo Onoda, Still fighting a war long since over, the Day of new papers have passed, the days on just 3 sources of news have passed. I implore you to switch off FOOLS News and branch out and see the world in all its glory. Don’t let Bill O scare you into thinking that all black people hate white people, that all Jewish people are cheap, that all Latin people are illegal’s, that women have no rights, that gay secretly lust after you. This is an attack on your intelligence, break the chains and think for yourself. Don’t let FOOLS News tell you what to think, eat and drink, you have a choice to turn the channel, Just do it. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that all Muslims are not all terrorist? That anyone that is not Christian is not doomed to hell? Most of all would it not be great to not live in fear.

You are simply parroting talking points. You claim that there is some "invisible empire" pulling all of the strings, and one of your "proofs" is that the wealthy inherit their money and this supposed "old money" is running the country, and also that the door is close to everyone else.

I asserted this simply is not true and went to a reliable source: The Forbes 400. I went down the list, showing you have the top 6 wealthies in the nation did not - repeat, NOT - come from old money at all. I deliberately left out #7: George Soros!

You keep on insisting I watch FOX News and such, but I have "news" for you: I do not get American TV in my home!

The truth is that I do think for myself, and it is VERY clear that you and your cohorts have really been taken in. The proof is around you, with the American people of all kinds of backgrounds achieving and succeeding. One way that PROVES that you have been taken in is the erroneous belief you people have that this is permanent and has been going on for a couple of decades: First of all, around 6 or 7 years ago, people were not screaming and yelling these things. Next, if you only look at history, you can see that this is a ruse and politicans have been using it to dupe you for over a century - There was a much larger "disparity" of income and "concentration" of wealth a century ago when the masses were being lifted from poverty and we grew to be the wealthiest nation in the world.

It is pure propaganda that you have taken in.

Okay, let me begin by saying...You DO know that you're on CURRENT.COM??I've been reading your comments all over the place and... I dont get it, are you just trolling, are you trying to convert us "hippies" to your more conservative views, or are you simly unaware that there are better sites than this one for people with your viewpoints to post their opinions on? I'm pretty sure FOXnews has a website...just sayin'

Your response is quite understandable. It appears that I am "trolling," but I am not. What I am looking for is some coherent and cogent responses to another point of view. But all I seem to get is ranting about compassion and how the evil corporations are ruling our lives. One poster, for example, declaimed that the rich simply inherited their money. Well, I posted the backgrounds of the top 6 wealthiest people in America and debunked that claim. These attacks on "rich capitalists" have been in vogue for over a century. The fact is that there is no data showing that a so-called "concentration of wealth" leads to an impoverishment of the rest of us. In fact, if one looks at history, there was a time that had a greater "concentration" and disparity of income and was a period of some of the most rapid increase in the standard of living in the history of the world.

What??? No Bucket??? How do you choose to carry it away???

They hold it in their mouths, then spew it forth whenever there's a camera pointed at them.

Ok, I did not know that, guess I will use my ipod to take photos from now on... =)

These illogical signs are a "true sign of the times" . Anecdotal, I have drinks at a bar that plays Fox news. Its patrons are mostly senior citizens--on Medicare and Social Security--mostly educated on the GI Bill. They constantly complain about the government. According to them Obama is ruining this country. They seem to be in a stupor; mesmerized by the constant drumbeat of soft porn and propaganda that is Fox news. Unlike the predictions of Fox news that historians will denigrate and harshly judge the Occupiers; I believe they will be fascinated by these listless stupor viewers that were turned into self destructive zombies by Fox news.

well written.

The Occupiers would resort to Fascism if it were not for the brave police. An example is when they decided to storm a building and get a "rich evil guy" and actually hold a TRIAL for him.

That clearly shows what they are capable of.

At least we now all know that you have no idea what Fascism is.

The "Occupiers" were ready to have a summary trial of someone because he was - by their argot - one of the "evil rich" and deemed a potential criminal to be tried, by virtue of the fact that he was wealthy.

Maybe not "fascism." More akin to Nazism.....

think this posted is actually a 5 yr old in Japan...beautiful house,beautiful garden...Godzilla's footprint in the front yard...

Well now we also know you have no idea what it meant to be a Nazi.

Care to go for strike three?

No, in this case it was a corollary because the Nazis classified certain groups as the "enemy of the people" and held their bogus trials, just like the OWS intended. Oh perhaps it was more "Stalinesque?" You know, the "Show Trials."

Indeed, a Clear Reflection...

I am afraid that parade and folks with signs will be the Folks the GOP supports, but does as little to help when the come Home... If folks at home cannot find jobs, what do they or anyone expect to do with many thousands home in need of work???

Not if it is organized by the OWS folks...don't see much support for the Greedy Obnoxious Pigs there. =)

Hmmm, I need to kick that around... =)

Cooool, Thanks Haruko... =)

Yeah!!! Violent Hippies Rock!!! =)

"face impacting my fist" -- Awesome! Hell yes Occupy fox-so-not-the-news ... mic check!

Pwr 2 the 99%! Lay low the 1% and their political vermin!

Yours is typical of the OWS mindset and worldview.

Too bad you're on the WRONG side!

Pwr 2 the 99%! EXTERMINATE the 1% and their political vermin!

Sheeesh!!! Now that's a lot of Hats... =)

Backed by Rich Folks???

yep, probably

Eeeesh, I was almost over remembering that Image... =(
