What do they want?
They want to be the "Tea Party" of the left. The jealousy is obvious & throbbing.
But the REAL Tea Party, is comprised of mature, employed, civil, responsible, law-abiding, HYGIENIC, reasonable people. They carry their Bibles & little pocket-Constitutions around with them, talk of the greatness of the Constitution and Founding Fathers, and sing "I'm Proud To Be An American" along with Lee Greenwood.... while they are cleaning up after their rallies. Granted, there are a few bad apples, but a very small percentage.
The OWS mob (I won't even call them "Flea Party")....welllllll...... they aren't quite so civil. Or reasonable. Or law-abiding. Or hygienic. The riots, criminality, assults, molestations, profanity, anti-Semitic & anti-American chants, and the VIOLENCE kinda takes a little credibility & respectability away from them. Well, it takes away ALL credibility.
Now I know that there are many respectable, civil, decent liberals among the crowd. But they are increasingly a minority. In an attempt to make themselves look bigger & more powerful, the liberals have (again) got into bed with the Progressives. They associated themselves with labor union thugs (who are CALLING for violence), anti-American militant socialists & communists (who are COMMITTING violence), anti-Semitic groups, the corruption-ridden ACORN slime, and every dredge of society that they could get to march & chant with them.
*BIG* mistake to do that.
Now there IS some validity to opposing Wall Street corruption & general corporate greed. BUT - you can either do that like civilized, intelligent, patriotic citizens.... or you can do it by acting like un-hinged assholes, and bringing in thugs, goons, and criminals. Half the people there are just there to party & protest & get attention & run around like animals.
I hope that my honorable liberal friends, will talk to their other liberal friends, and convince them to take some sort of action to try to separate themselves from the profane, animalistic MOBS that the Progressives trucked in. If they don't separate themselves, they are going to get grouped in with the scum. And that is unfortunate.
Liberals most often defend human rights, are reasonable decent people, and promote peace. I respect that. However, Progressives are @%&*$@@#holes (self-edited), that use Alinskey tactics to flame up hatred and anarchy, and divide people against each other, regardless of the effects.
In short - I respect the few OWSer's that are there for honorable reasons. But the rest are just slimeballs trying to make trouble. And they are succeeding. Reasonable people know this (particularly voters) - and if this garbage continues, Obama may actually lose by a larger margin than Jimmy Carter.
Pick your poison lefties.... the inevitable failures of Obama/Pelosi/Reid - or violent, anarchist OWS mobs. You chose to climb in bed with Progressives, now you gotta sleep with them. Enjoy THAT.
The right isnt giving me much of a choice are they (pathetic is what comes to mind of all of it)... I may take two anarcists and sleep it off...
