Some call the Tea Party a republican movement which is totally wrong. This occupy movement is purely democratic riot. An Obama movement protected from local law by CIA and NSA warnings to incite unemployed, poor, and street people to demand more taxes from the rich to add to implied socialism and money for the occupy crowd. It's a choreographed movement to disrupt peoples lives with false hope and lies and lots of votes for Obama.
The whole history of this occupy movement sit-in has been all about raising taxes for the wrong reasons and create more oppression for and already oppressed economy.
The occupy movement is targeting the wrong people in this country. They should be targeting government, corporations, and business for personal gains in profit sharing and pay raises and job security (fire illegal aliens). But this goes against the Obama policy of a dictatorship because he can't give prosperity and independence to working americans.
By robbing the rich of their money as taxes, Obama will control the dispensing of these funds for his personal gains and the Occupy crowd is still in the same boat, jobless, poor, and homeless.
Go and get jobs would be my advise. If I owned Gallivan, I'd kick them out.
One can't help but ask what Becker-Burbank have wrought.
What if I want to take a few tents and oppose abortion? Or promote traditional marriage? Or charter schools? Or free lunches? Will they grant me a permit?
In an effort to be the next San Francisco have we created the right to tent cities?
I'm looking forward to the next Tea Party. April 15th I believe...
12 to 14 - THAT's a real MASS movement!!!
What a joke!
We've heard you (and think you are full of baloney).
now go away!
Please, let's be honest and stop using the "occupier" term to dignifiy these people as some sort of legitimate protest movement with some sort of rational goals and grievances.
I think they are in the same category as most of the other outdoor living people who by choice, and suffering from mental illness or substance abuse have chosen to reject convetional living arrangements, and also that pesky "work" stuff.
They are adults and cannot be forced into medication or shelters, and are free to "protest" about whatever riles them, but stop wasting ink and paper pretending that they have some intellectual or social relevance to the real world.
Go interview some of our Natioanl Guardsmen who work real jobs, as well as their citizen soldier jobs, and risk life and limb to protect us. They are people who should be interviewd and written about, not these folks.
Says Seth, "My hope is that in the coming year we'll help more people awaken to their surroundings. That we will remove our blinders and bridge the gap of diversity and see each other for who we really are. The stereotypes will disappear and we won't judge one another by what we're wearing or how we look."
Hmmm. I wonder what stereotypes he thinks about when he sees the guys in suits and ties going to and fro from the Goldman-Sachs or Chase bank buildings? Does he "bridge the gap of diversity" (I don't know what that's supposed to me either) enough to understand their situation?
I've made similar attempts to question the aims and motives of the people "occupying" SLC and Sacramento and came up with the same vague, at best, or, more typically, completely incoherent blather. My conclusion, then as now, is that is that the fundamental goal boils down to the same one seen in the tantrums of a 3-6 year-old child. See/hear ME, Me, me!!!!
Although I empathize with portions of this Occupy movement, these 12-14 men are a far cry from representing this movement. They actually think they haven't been heard. They actually don't like the shadows cast by those who have been there before them. They are there for themselves more than representing the opinions of others. It just might be time to pack up and head on home.
