Since Occupy Wall Street protests have broken out in cities across the U.S. and abroad, support has come from what might seem like an unlikely corner: war veterans. But two of the highest-profile protesters -- each from opposite ends of the country -- had served in wars. Last week, the world watched as bleeding, dazed 24-year-old Marine Scott Olsen was carried away by fellow protesters after he was struck in the head by an object apparently fired by an Oakland police officer. And before that, Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas was captured on video confronting a group of New York police officers he said had been too rough with protesters. snip "These riot squads deploy unlawful excessive force against Americans all service members swore to protect, and many veterans have sacrificed their lives in that honor. We at OMC will not stand idly by as these cowards continue to abuse the Constitution, hurting American citizens. We will use any nonviolent means to convince law enforcement agencies to understand that brutality will only strengthen our resolve," the spokesperson said, adding that the group acknowledged that not all Marines agreed with the group's position.

"You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric
If they're NOT full of sh*t, they too will "occupy" Washington, DC... So far, the cowardly, theatric Commie "Occupy" movement represents an anti-Capitalist sentiment and an endorsement of Washington DC politics-as-usual. OTOH, the Tea Party knew who to pressure, and who bears responsibility for the TARP/Bail-Out/Middle Class Destruction policies.
That means WHAT??
Just guessing that it means what it says.

It's not in code talk so you might get a few needing a translation into English.

So what, Boofer? He served so he has an opinion...
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
Washington politicians well know who holds the knife that butters their bread. Tea Party supporters and their candidates like to imagine themselves as insurgents, crashing the barricades of Washington to establish a new order of clean and frugal government. In earthbound reality, many of the people pulling the Tea Party’s strings are establishment Republican operatives and lobbyists. Some have made money off the party for years.

Are you saying it's too transparently simple to be understood?
"You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric
Seems that it does.
"You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric
So? Please explain why that is relevant. Seeing as how I'm goofy and all, I just don't get why that matters.

Hey Goofy - I've got a question for you: We all know that Pluto is a dog - but what kind of animal is Goofy. Are you a dog, too?
__________________________________________________________________________________________ It's not Boofer's fault that Reagan was such a pussy whimp that he never gave the "GO" order against Iran. Boofer would have been the first one off of that boat leading the charge.
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
And we know that Dodge's are wheezing old rustbuckets... Good you got out of yours...

Before Pluto was a dog, Pluto was a planet - think about it.

Better answer... Did you ever get my message, btw?

LOL.

Hey HEY! First Amendment and all that jazz. /s And where is the 'I hate Barry h0bama' website? Oh that's right - that scary Rat-Out Leftist website would report it to....h0bama's Schutzstaffel unt Der Reichführer, Herr Erik Holder.
So you're NOT blaming the politicians for creating their self-serving "Buttered-Bread" system?
If you're asking the question, it must not be the message I responded too.
"You post articles- intellectual excrement, really- that support your inane, insipid mentality, on a regular basis. Capitalist Eric
Good answer again...
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
LOL... Which leads to the next questions: 1) Why did Disney create TWO retarded dogs, but only one talked? 2) So....Which one is Ming and which one is Mom? (Lucy, I kid!)
In short, no. Washington didn't create the system, the founding fathers failed to prohibit it.

In that case, I better quit while I'm ahead.

We all made the same bet, ming. We all took the same oath. What took place during our service is irrelevant.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao

What took place during our service is irrelevant. Really? I can't imagine that someone who got shot at day in and day out comes out of the experience the same as one who sat behind a desk. Maybe it's YOU who needs to show a little empathy for those who had a vastly different military experience from your own.

You have an interesting notion of wheezing old rustbucket
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Aw, c'mon. You know that Pluto was never REALLY a planet - it was and is too small. Probably some liberal astronomer called it a planet just so it wouldn't have an inferiority complex.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ What made you believe I was referring to car?
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
1) Why did Disney create TWO retarded dogs, but only one talked? 2) So....Which one is Ming and which one is Mom? 1) I think that Pluto (the dog) was just a figment of Disney's imagination. After all, who ever heard of a Mouse having a dog for a pet? 2) I think they're the same poster playing "good cop, bad cop". (Or is it smart cop, dumb cop?)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ A cat would have made MUCH more sense...
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
Look in a mirror and repeat that over and over, Jethro.

Look in a mirror and repeat that over and over, Jethro. Okaaaaaay. And if a genie appears, do you want me to make a wish that you'll post something that makes sense?
__________________________________________________________________________________________ So wrong on so many counts (unsurprisingly) its not worth discussing with you further.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
They are being "PAID" to be full of shit, that's why they won't go protest the people who really need to be protested.... Wall St couldn't do what it does if it weren't for their political enablers....
Number of shallow, inadequate, hypocritical Leftards who have me on BOZO---3.......... That means I'm doing my job correctly !!!!!!!!! "CHANGE" you can step in.....
