High Caliber (as in degree of mental capacity) Protest

and don't forget encourage you to invest in the system Wall Sreet provides and then raids when they get short on profits. Of course if you don't like it you could always move to Yemen and become a target..

The righty Fox News Kool Aid drinkers would have us believe that it's only students and misguided young folks out protesting on Wall Street. But the truth is that labor unions and other organizatons have joined in.

I applaud what they are doing. Wish I could be there. It's preferable to be in the streets standing up to these bastards than kissing their ass, as conservatives would have us do.

You would fit right in with the rest of those brain deads.

The cops need to hand out job applications instead of tear gas.

Is that the best you can do? Must say I've heard far worse from far better.

And that's the hypocricy of conservatives. When their Teabagger allies acted like brownshirts by disrupting town meetings a couple of years back, they applauded just as Fox News and the right wing talking heads told them to do. But let students and workers do a little protesting against corporate power then the wingnuts suddenly get all indignant and self righteous on us.


I've probably participated in a couple of hundred protests in my time, starting in 1967 when I was freshman in high school. I've actively actively opposed conservatives and conservatism my entire life. I detest right wing ideology and everything it stands for. And, yes,I'm damn proud of it. So thanks for the congrats.

of course the tea party wouldn't disrupt commerce... the corporations and billionaires funding the tea party wouldn't allow that.

i for one cannot believe that anyone would be opposed to the protests at the scene of the crime of the financial meltdown.

if only they were building a mosque in the area around wall street... then we'd have some acceptable protests.

Methinks that anyone who would protest "a couple of hundred" times about anything (no doubt "nothing" and "everything" belong as well) should just pack up their sh!t and leave this country......as nothing will ever be "good enough".

True. History shows conservatives have opposed every single movement or legislation that has fought for the recognition or expansion of civil rights. Indeed, conservatives have contributed absolutely nothing to social progress and have always served as its obstacle.

From its founding the history of our country is the history of the struggles to expand civil and democratic rights to all our citizens. And conservatives have acted as the opposition every step of the way.

viva la revolution bitches. We are the motherfucking 99%

Is that a "flock" or a "herd"?

You may want to read up on some of your history about which political party opposed civil rights the most.

It's a group of Americans that are sick of YOU.

He didn't say Republicans... he said Conservatives. At the time of the Civil Rights movement, most of the aforementioned bigots and simple-minded human detritus were southern members of the Democratic party known as "Dixiecrats".

Equating all liberals as Democrats and all Republicans as conservatives is a fairly recent phenomenon. Especially considering that 2 of our most famously progressive presidents, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt were members of the Republican party... and two of our most racially bigoted Senators, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond were both Democrats initially.

Social conservatives ARE the reason we still are where we are in this country... and the quicker we can have them sterilized so they can't breed anymore... the better!

At various times in our history there have been progressives and conservatives in either or both of our political parties. For instance you can read about the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, and you will quickly earn that he faced stiff opposition from conservatives within his own party. At the same time, though, the Republican party was also the home of the Progressive movement. So it can truthfully be said that the liberal/conservative divide did not always break cleanly along clear party lines.

Speaking of human detrius.......seems there are plenty of "double flushers" in our midst. Those gaseous turds are a result of digesting the BS which has been cultivated and with which they've become enamored. Of course the turds are permeated with copious amounts of hot air, so they just don't go down easily. Instead, they just float around and stink up the place.

Aunty.......yours? Very nice! The resemblance is obvious.

then make a list.

You might want to check Barry Goldwater's votes on the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts of 1964.

On the other hand it is certainly true that later in life he spoke out openly in favor of gay rights. But today's GOP is no more the party of Goldwater than it is the party of Lincoln or Roosevelt.
