Just more of the special child problem.  What is RIGHT is now wrong and what is WRONG is now right.  

Please wake up before we lose it all.  VOTE for AMERICA this time because we may not get another time to vote.  They are following their game book and most of us have not read it.  WAKE UP!!

Our equal justice was put on the shelf decades ago, we just didn't notice.  However, now that we have awoken from our slumber of responsibility, family, job, home, school, and any other insignificant item that may have occupied our time, the progressive socialist are aghast at our dismay.  We have a long road back as the context of our nation and our constitution has been grossly distorted and too many generations now see it as the "correct" version.  Our best defense is to understand, as best as we can, original document of our nations history and our role on the global scale.  1928 Charles Grant Miller wrote The Poisoned Loving Cup and the last sentence in the book "A nation not secure in its past can have no faith in its future."  Citizens that do not know history can be led in any direction the governing body wishes them to go.

I attended the big September 12 rally in Washington, DC several years ago.  We were given a long list of what we could and could not do.  It was a pain, but we wanted to be sure that there would be no criticism of the tea party.  We are hated anyway and look at what they let the unruly, bigotted, disgusting, violence-espousing far left get away with.  Unfortunately, the loudest, most powerful minority are taking over; with the planning and blessing of the current administration, mainstream media, uber-liberal self-identifying "intellectuals".  And sadly; the uninformed, living in the past, silent majority are being lied to, mollified, and unknowingly steered right into anarchy.  How do we wake them up before it is way too late?

Regarding OWS. 

A little background research reveals the ultimate purpose of these "Occupy" groups.  I think most of us know the idea for these groups started outside the U.S.  The theoretical foundation of these groups is rooted in the belief that vertically organized societies need to be changed into those which are horizontally organized.  We currently live and work in a vertically organized society.

The idea behind horizontal organization is that it empowers the individual to act more freely, hence more "democratically".  A horizontal organization has few or no individuals in charge as does a vertical organization.  Teams of individuals acting in concert determine the conduct and goals of the group, i.e. a "true" democracy.  But the United States is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic with elected representatives.

If you go to this link: http://takethesquare.net/2011/07/31/quick-guide-on-group-dynamics-i... you will find the exact methods that OWS and the other groups are using to organize, make statements and reach consensus.

The basic thesis seems to be that in this age of instant communication vertically organized societies are obsolete and need to be changed.  That using instant communication and acting on the best ideas of the group (collective) is the best way to operate a free and open society that respects each person and maximizes freedom. 

A lofty goal, but one that envisions a Utopian society.  Utopian societies have been tried before and all of them have failed. 

If we were to adopt this strategy as a nation, then we would have to scrap both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.  Both documents would be looked at as18th century relics that are no longer relevant by these people since they both contain numerous elements of vertical organization. 

Why occupy Wall Street?  Because Wall Street represents the epitome of vertical organizational control of wealth which is anathema to these people. 

The occupy crowd wants a fundamental change of society as we know it.  So it is not surprising that Obama supports them. Obama said at the University of Missouri in Columbia on October 30, 2008, which was five days before the election, "We are 5 days from FUNDAMENTALLY transforming America."

Wow, and the tea party does not expouse violence and the OWS does threaten to hurt and kill people...............so I would guess they might be a far greater threat to someone with a 6 foot wooden stake like those shown in the clip.   This is insane!

As a career serviceman, to think this garbage could happen in what used to be , Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, really breaks my heart.

My uncle used to be a cop in New York. He told me once they have these stupid little laws so that the cops have a reason to bust chops if they want to. He told me as long as the guy wasn't being an asshole or anything he would look the other way on things. But it seems like now in America they bust your chops for every little thing.

My views on the OWS are different then most others in here but it is wrong when laws are applied to one group but not the other.  I think the real issue that should piss people off is not the fact that the law is applied to one group and not the other the real outrage should be that the law exist in the first place. 

 

Let me ask who's life, liberty, or property is being effected by something that is on a pole longer then 2'.  And why the arbitrary number of two feet.  Nothing about this law makes any sense when put in the context of the governments job being to protect life, liberty, and property.

 

Were is the outrage at the law itself, that is what anyone that loves freedom should be upset about.  If the law didn't apply it couldn't be enforced on one group and not another.
