700 arrested in New York anti-greed demo.

Well, it really is widespread WORLD NEWS now. Attempts to brush this under the rug and term it ' commonplace ' , or a ' small internal American matter ' have hit the skids.
The call is out for thousands more to join the protest. If you can, get on down there with your hard-hat and camera, in Chicago, SF, in New York, Boston and elsewhere. If you can't get there , support those who can. Democracy in America is broken. Corporations and their political toadies run the game. This is unacceptable to modern Americans , to young Americans , to poor Americans and similarly disenfranchised people all over the world stand shoulder-to-shoulder in protest. The monopoly of wealth can be overturned - in the streets, in the temples and in the Washington lobbies. 50 million Americans living below the poverty line deserve a stake .

 

I wonder how many of these "protesters" are welfare slackers. That would be ironic.

 

All of them I guess. Muslims have been spotted too. And blacks and Hispanics along with white trailer-trash scroungers. Unpatriotic rotten doctor commie rats, all of them.

 

the demo'd how not to be greedy by paying back money they borrowed?

 

Garn, what the hell did he know ?

 

Yeah, screaming for the rich to pay more tax's,,,while they pay......0!

The Obama crowed,,,I guess his jobs plan is serving it's purpose. I cant imagine him thinking it would have done anything else...''Our Leader''

 

Isn't anti greed demo an oxymoron of sorts?
Those who protest want less for THEM, and more for THEMSELVES.
Good grief people, get real. Someone has to pay for it all.
Now go to Dubai, or China, or Cuba, or Venezuela, or Iran.

 

I think conservatives and leftists can both get behind this protest. Libertarians, Paleoconservatives, Socialists, whites, blacks, Hispanics - who isn't appalled by the corrupt corporate/government nexus. Aren't we all disgusted by Goldman Sachs? Remember the billions they've stolen from us.

End Corporate Welfare!

No More Wars for Israel!

 

While I really don't care that they were protesting, if they are blocking traffic and interrupting the normal flow of the busiest city in the US, then arresting them doesn't seem like a problem to me if they won't move.

I agree that corporations that have gotten their money by riding on the governments back are wrong and should be stopped, but protesting people simply because they have more money is moronic.

I am against outsourcing for profit. If you are there with me, than we agree.
But don't forget, we then must protest ourselves as well. Buying cheap is for profit, just on a smaller scale, no?

 

In the words of constitutional law attorney Glenn Greenwald:

"He [Anwar al-Awlaki] was ordered assassinated by the President of the United States without presenting any evidence of any kind as to his guilt, without attempting to indict him in any way or comply with any of the requirements of the Constitution that say that you can’t deprive someone of life without due process of law. The president ordered him killed wherever he was found, including far away from a battle field, no matter what it was he was doing at the time. And if you’re somebody who believes that the president of the United States has the power to order your fellow citizens murdered, assassinated, killed without even a shred of due process, without having to have charged him with a crimes or indict him and prove in a court he’s actually guilty, then you’re really declaring yourself to be as pure of an authoritarian as it gets."

"Remember that there was great controversy that George Bush asserted the power simply to detain American citizens without due process or simply to eavesdrop on their conversations without warrants. Here you have something much more severe. Not eavesdropping on American citizens, not detaining them without due process, but killing them without due process, and yet many Democrats and progressives, because it’s President Obama doing it, have no problem with it and are even in favor of it. To say that the President has the right to kill citizens without due process is really to take the constitution and to tear it up into as many little pieces as you can and then burn it and step on it."

Obama is tearing to shreds the remnants of democracy presided over by his predecessor and has rescinded on his promises. The American people, and the world, have been duped by the biggest fraud since Nixon. Rooseveltian optimism has been replaced by cynicism and apoplexy. The people must take to the streets on mass and demand that the bankers who caused the crisis pay for it. The seeds have been planted and the future is ours but only if we really want it to be. The days where politician's were expected to act on our behalf are over.

 

These folks want to be arrested. The police are actually doing them a favor.

 

Sure, like Iraqis wanted to be tortured and foreign civilians are just begging to be murdered by the US of AIPAC military. It all depends on just how tight one can squint one's eyes.

 

Rightist delusion continues.
They cant really realise how it was wall street, banks and corporation greed who caused this crisis.

 

They're on the take ! We are witnessing the public paying the police to engage in corporate ass-covering.

 

Proof ,indictments and congressional approval isnt required for a President to OK a military strike on a high value target silly. Regardless of his citizenship he is now (was-RIP) a non state actor engaged in warfare against the US from Yemen.

 

Stay focussed moon. No ones being 'murdered' by the US military.Your heroes in the Taliban,Hamas,Hizbollah are the true murderers,rarely acknoeldged by you and who could discuss torture w/o mentioning the IRGC and the Iranian human rights crushing machine. But I digress......back to topic.


Were talking about greasy hippy wanna bes here who are blocking traffic. These intellectual giants must know the consequences of doing such a thing.
There is no bigger badge of honor for a protester/ resister than being a martyr,you should know that...you sanction suicide bombings for allahs sake.

You sound upset, you mad bro?

 

You mean........you've persuaded the courts to cancel their guilty verdicts ?
Go to #2 in the Sap Statements charts. #1 is reserved for your next , pitifully derelict, comment.

 

Select individuals who were enlisted who murder are no longer part of the military. Its not a tactic of the US military to murder innocent folks. As you point out offenders are tried and discharged.

Your problem is,and of course its another case of hypocrisy, youre too broad and tend to generalize ,which of course subtracts from the little cred you may have established among the others in the forum.

You may now return to cheerleading for the resistance.

 

Some are, some ain't, but the fact remains that they all were when they went a-murdering. That toasts your previous , sycophantic, bollox which I repeat again below;

Mr ' Relevant ';

Jesus H Christ.

 

I'll take the words of a constitutional law atorney over yours....Thanks all the same.

 

Why moon?
Would it be ok to give Allah a middle name? Please, lets not go there.

 

I was unaware that Allah had even a first name. What is it, please ?

 

You missing the point. You don't insult mine, I won't insult yours.
