Where can you start ... they have no idea what they are doing, rapes, drugs, theft, arrests, anti-semitism .. the list goes on and on ... I understand their frustration but marching on 'Wall Street' isn't the answer. Some of their arguments are okay, education loans, bailouts, mortgages, jobs ... unfortunately most of this is controlled by the govt.

These people are the products of very poor parenting and the indoctrination from our public schools. It's only a matter of time until we have lots of violence. Anarchy, folks! This is NOT good.

What is there to say? These people are out of control! They are causing more mayhem than good. If this is what obummer and holder wanted then they have it. I see a bunch of ignorant people that do not have any idea what they are protesting. What real good is there to their purpose? They are destroying property, defecating in the parks, having sex everywhere, and they are acting like the hippies in the 60's and 70's. For what? They are not getting anywhere with the banks or Wall St.
Can someone please explain to me what they are doing?

I have seen videos of these protesters. They are the uneducated leeches who probably get govt social programs. They contribute what to society. Come protest, the unemployed, the knocked up with 3 illegitimate kids, the illegals, the substance abusers and of course the SSDI entitlement leeches, the SPEDS. If you have a job you are paying for these leeches in one way or another.

Their message is incoherent at best and sheer stupidity at worse. I don't understand how they can be allowed to "occupy" private property or public parks and streets that everybody is allowed access to. They have set up tent cities, leaving their garbage all over the place. They're dirty, using drugs and allegedly having sex in public places. And we're supposed to take them seriously. This is a vacation to them, at the taxpayer's expense. Because you know, we'll pay for the clean-up. Just like in Wisconsin. And meanwhile, back at the lamestream media, they're getting storybook coverage. The poor protestors are being harrassed by the bad police. Right... How stupid do they think the American public is? The Tea Party had a message. They gathered in a peaceful and respectful manner. They said what they had to say and then they went home and voted. And the media had the nerve to denigrate them. I'd say unbelievable but unfortunately it's not.

I am not current on their agenda, but I can't figure out what they want or what their message is.

I’m not too worried about the insurgents in the big cities; winter is coming and will freeze them out.
But if you want my opinion they are totally communistic displaying the upmost in anti-American behavior. One might think that they are involved in a mob rule situation; but I think not, they are controlled by the unions, bought by the unions.
If the powers that be really wanted to get rid of them it’s very simple. Locate and identify their food supply and impound those vehicles; they would get hungry and leave. Just as when the cold hits them they will leave.

My personal argument with the Occupy Mob
On a sunny Sunday afternoon, my self along with some from our local Tea Party confronted the Occupy Mob in the small college town of Amherst Massachusetts. Actually, we had many arguments but one I took personally, Tax the Rich and economics. I am a Millwright by profession I explained and I basically run the business from the bottom up. With this announcement, their interest peaked as they explained, that is how companies should be run, from the bottom up with collective bargaining. I explained I do not work that way, if the Boss wants something done he pulls back the curtain and asks the person turning the wrenches that keeps the place running, that is if they are smart. As of lately my budget is reduced to duct tape and bailing wire, and I have to reply, she won’t take any more. With this, the Occupy Mob explained the rich has all the wealth and we want them to share it. Hold on I said, now I am getting offended. Why should I be taxed more for my skills to keep a business running, what incentive do I have to grow and expand my skills? When I look around and see our federal government with some fifteen trillion in debt, over a hundred trillion in unfunded liabilities, inflation, trillions more in local debt and the trade deficit and all that has to come from the pot of gold that I play in. I also must look ahead and estimate what my budget is going to look like and live within my means. In essence, I look at the pot of gold, the wealth in general that the business sector has to play with and it is not looking good. The Occupy Mob agreed that is a problem that is why we must tax the rich to create more wealth. I said you are wrong, that is not how wealth is created, it is much more complicated, in short, wealth is something you grow or dig from the ground, a supply, then it is processed and then exchanged for a demand, supply and demand. Al least one in the Occupy Mob agreed, she comes from a farming community, she explained, and that is how it works. I went on to say this problem did not happen over night, over the past several decades we have gone from Goods Producing to Service Providing, this is big Government to Wall Street that is nothing more then Service Providing that has grown too burdensome. We simply do not produce that much real wealth any more, Service Providing has outgrown the Goods Producing ability to pay. With some excitement someone replied, that is because of deregulation, I replied what Bill was it that caused this deregulation, and he looked around for help and got none. We continued to argue back and forth for a long time, what was supposed to be the most highly educated the Occupy Mob has to offer against the boots on the ground Tea Party.
In general, we agreed there is a problem but differed largely on ideology. The Occupy Mob is running on typical Bourgeois abuses the Proletarians propaganda, Marxist ideology. The Occupy Mob is jumping on the Populist Egalitarianism Bandwagon to ruin because they are inexperienced and one sided. The past protests of the sixties and seventies of which I was part of did not have the same Marxist elements as they do now. In the protests of the past there were many singing a different song, we did not want to become the Mensheviks or make the mistakes the Cadets made, or “meet the new boss the same as the old boss” and the majority were Classic Liberal or Libertarian. This is simply too dangers of a Mob to play with or compromise with, and too slippery of a slope to step on. Many did not want Stalin, Hitler, Mao and others but when they stepped on that slippery slope that is what they got, when they came for them, there was no one left to speak out for them. This is not to say our slide toward socialism will be that extreme, we are on the edge now and if we fall, it is only a guess on how far we will slide. “For the times they are a-changin'” and not for the better as the Occupy Mob criticizes what they do not understand. I was told that this is the new socialism and I replied we had socialist experiments in the past that were new, some went horribly wrong like the Great Leap Forward from Mao where over forty million died. I was told that was irrelevant and they never heard of such a thing. I am starting to believe most in the Occupy Mob are nothing more then useful idiots, as it was in the past, history repeats if the unaware ignore history.
I also must comment on the divide in the Tea Party movement here, there are the boots on the ground that has the understanding to confront socialism and those that are hiding in their comfort zone that simply copy/paste talking points with little understanding. If you never heard or studied stuff like Mao’s Great Leap Forward and such, please spend some time doing your own research and reading, then come out and join us. We have a limited number of boots on the ground and we need more. Make no mistake that this is Marxist ideology, this doctrine is powerful and specific, and this comes from the people pulling the strings behind the curtain of the Occupy movement. (We have our spies, as do they) You are part of the problem if you are unaware and ignore history.

He will be voted out of office! I have enough Faith in the American People that they are fed up with what is going on in our country. They have to see that we do not have a leader of the free world, but someone who is trying to make us one with the Middleast, China and he is following Sal Alinsky's play book. The people have awakened and educated themselves more than I have ever seen in my lifetime! Yes, Obummeer will lose in 2012!

I bet there is somebody wanting to stir this up like Egypt or Libya. sooner or later it will get ugly. and I agree they are the result of poor parenting and an even poorer education system. They were seemingly bred for this...
