RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

.... did I forget to mention 'dig up dirt on them'?

Who cares what he said, probably even true. There's just as much dirt on your side of the isle, but I don't really care. I care about issues and yours stink.

How short and bitter do you need it?

RE: Gaddafi's a dead duck!!!

That sure looked like him alright.

But as Ray said... it could just get a whole lot worse now, the puppet masters will be out in force, flashing cash and divvying up the spoils.

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

RM4, I did hit the quote button but it didn't:

"when you have leadership like Michelle Bachman in the tea party it doesn't give the party the look of having a whole lot of substance, shes an idiot and thier whole ideals are mean spirited and are meant to take away peoples rights . I have talked to tea party legislators and they are arrogant and self serving they care little about the people they serve."

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

Yeah well, they all sound like televangelists spouting inflammatory pap if you ask me... at a time when we are truly on the brink of losing all that we hold decent and fair for.... everyone, or maybe I should say for most.

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

Then you come up with some numbers there pud.

Where do you think they got that 99% anyway? Just a figment of their imagination?

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

While I'm not exactly on board for his last paragraph, considering that most of that middle class came from the working class originally... he's pretty dead on for the whys of how we got in this pickle we're in.

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

And the last one not? That's what politicians do... sell lies. While the true business at hand goes on behind closed doors.

Let's not delude ourselves that any sort of group, no matter how justified or large will create consideration of our major issues in the US or in the rest of the world, especially if there is no core direction or thought out solutions... or for that matter a power leg to stand on.

Obama let us down by being buyable as well as the rest of the so called Democratic party, so there is no great hope at this election for the massive change needed to get us back to a more fair, honorable and equitable society.

It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.
~Thomas Jefferson

It took us 30 yrs this time to let ourselves get into this mess.. who knows how long it will take to get us out.

Just sayin'.... reality bites

RE: Write a word beginning with the last letter of the previous word II

Folks not dealing well with the stressors of our current events maybe?


Yakety yak yak

RE: Occupy Wall Street VS Tea Party?

6 to one, half a dozen to another.

I think most people smell something rotten, they're just confused about where the stink is coming from.

Keeping us divided solves nothing.

RE: Police hunting released exotic animals in Ohio

Yeah and the local law seems to have taken great pleasure in shooting anything that moved... or just standing confused next to their cage.

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

Indeed, I've been pissin' in the wind here for 2 years now.. and been called everything under the sun including pinko commie bleeding heart liberal... but basically I'm a Realist, read between the rhetoric and think for myself, I don't blow with any wind that happens by or the loudest voice that's screaming lies.

This is our reality and it's been coming on for 30 yrs.. but Bush torpedoed the selfish greed into the stratosphere and they forgot to leave a few crumbs for the peons ... and it's finally penetrated just how bad we've been screwed.

As you say.... about damn time. Now lets just hope they can have some rational organization to maintain the momentum and make it usefull.

RE: Amnesty Internationa asks Canada for G.W.Bush arrest+prosecution.

I'd laugh... but it's getting so it hurts.

RE: Amnesty Internationa asks Canada for G.W.Bush arrest+prosecution.

Let's say some deprogramming would be required... and an open door and mind connected to actual 'real' fact based reality might come in handy too some day.

Wishful thinking?

RE: Amnesty Internationa asks Canada for G.W.Bush arrest+prosecution.

Hey Best ... yup when idiots get too big for their britches and have too much fun with oil, big guns and banks... we're all on the road to perdition.

Ahh the wicked webs we weave.

RE: Poll On Instate Tuition For Illegal Immigrants

So now let's blame it on the illegal immigrants?
Think again... or maybe just for once think about putting most of the blame, for just about anything these days... exactly where it belongs, well him and his ilk anyway:

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

I definitely agree.... time to get the foxes out of the chicken coop!

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

Knock wood Skybow .

How many years have we been without a voice now? ... 10+ too many and 30 yrs of media brainwashing to get to this point!

We the 'others' who first looked on in dismay, then shock and finally revulsion at the turn of events that has led to the sorry state of affairs we call our government... for the mega rich conglomerates and multinationals and bought by these rich to the complete and total disregard of the needs of the other 99% of the American people.



And Bernie Sanders is one of the few that has stood up and called a spade a spade, clearly, simply and out loud... and I thank NIkogas for bringing the common sense on board. Having a conscious is not being a Communist for chrisakes!



"Others have adequately documented the litany of ways in which Bush and the Republicans systematically rigged the game to favor those of us who don't need more money and to screw those who do, all the while turning 50,000,000 of our neighbors into medical beggars who face each day without health insurance. The particulars of that shameful process are no longer in doubt and continue unabated with our Republican Congress. But what I'm still trying to get at is this question: "Why would ostensibly sane people countenance and even vote for leaders who act so blatantly against their best interests?"

Beyond the aforementioned options of abject denial and/or delusional aspirations to evolve into one of the super-rich, there are other possible explanations. One that has to be considered is what I might call "The Animal Farm effect". Readers will recall that in George Orwell's painfully prescient novel, the Seven Commandments by which the community ostensibly managed itself were subtly re-written late each night by the pigs to enhance the pigs' power and privilege, while the barnyard citizens blissfully slept unawares. Few noticed the changes upon awakening, and any potential protests were swiftly smothered. Eventually, the pigs not only dominated the day-to-day wellbeing of the other animals but also re-wrote the community's history to provide a fictional foundation for their hegemony. The continual tweaking of the Seven Commandments finally morphed them all into just one undeniable declaration:" "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

We've been dazzle with BS, numbed by a useless lying 'by omission' media or worse the outright support of inflammatory rhetoric.. we've been divided and conquered as a people.

And on and on it has gone... in so many ways:





Our voices are overdue, I just hope the protesters can keep it mature and civil and above the tactics of the supposed 'conservatives'... who seem to love vitriol and violence as solutions.

Lessons in greed

Wonder why education sky rocketed in the last 10 yrs? Well ask Goldman, the bubble king.

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

Very well said.

Oh the Right has plenty of ideas alright.. more of the same that put us in the mess we're in now.

And the Left has a hard time being totally self serving mercenaries. Which makes it a tad bit difficult to play in the same ball park.

BTW TBlue... congratulations, you make a lovely couple.

#1 She didn't.

#2 Brioche is not a cake it's a sweet bread rich in butter and eggs and usually served for breakfast... to those who can afford butter and eggs. Classically baked in a small mold.

Even the French can be ignorant, just like some supposed 'intellects'.

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

While they are commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette, there is no record of these words ever having been uttered by her. They appear in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions, his autobiography (whose first six books were written in 1765, when "Marie Antoinette was nine years of age, and published in 1782). The context of Rousseau's account was his desire for bread, to accompany some wine he had stolen; however, in feeling he was too elegantly dressed to go into an ordinary bakery, he thus recollected the words of a "great princess". As he wrote in Book 6:

Enfin je me rappelai le pis-aller d’une grande princesse à qui l’on disait que les paysans n’avaient pas de pain, et qui répondit : Qu’ils mangent de la brioche.

Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the peasants had no bread, and who responded: "Let them eat brioche."

Ohh Pat .... have I told you today I love you?

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

That may indeed be typical human nature, but that was also what a modern egalitarian government was invented to protect. Respect for all, not just the wealthy and powerful.

ol·i·gar·chy

1. a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.

2. a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, corporate, or military control.

RE: Is Your CIty Occupied??? {USA}

"Apres mois, le grande deluge"

Actually the literal translation is:

"After me, the great flood"

Of the people rising up against the selfish tyranny I'm assuming.

"No bread? Let them eat cake (brioche)." Another typical response of the haves to the have nots... when they become so out of contact with reality in their ivory towers, pleasantly oblivious of the starving riff raff who had sweat blood to maintain the royals self indulgent lifestyle.

"I'd spend my time job hunting, but hey...that's me."

If there were any to be had for those who used to work where we used to produce something in the USA, just what sort of jobs are they supposed to do if the American industrial worker is obsolete? Sound familiar?
