Tea Party Radicals

More often than not OWS supporters didn't really have a clue why they were there....some claimed high taxes....
After that was on several news sources, someone educated the idiots.I'd say anyone at a Tea Party rally knows why they are there.

Of course you would.
Really?
You can dispute this notion?
I saw quite a bit of footage with young people being asked what or why they were at OWS and many had no conviction. Like I previously said, the movers saw these vid's and made an attempt to quickly TELL those useful idiots why they were there.
So you can link to TP members at TP rallies with no idea why they are there??? :blink:
Please respond........inquiring TP sympathizers want to know.

I would love to see Jay Leno do a 'Person on the Street' interview with OWS protesters and TP protesters.
That would be awesome!
I can see it now: "OTPO" Occupy the Post Office!

What's really sad is the the core message of OWS is actually pretty valid. Not that anyone who is attending would know it or be able to articulate it or cast it in a positive light. Couple of observations.
1. many are what I call professional protesters. If you organized a protest over the sky being blue, you'd see many of the same people.
2. Many who are interviewed have their head so far up their ass they can't effectively articulate why they are there. This the lack of credibility despite massive media coverage. With each passing day they look like kooks and their kosing the battle for hearts and minds beyond there core audience of Progressive fringe groups.
3. Due to the conduct of some of the protesters the message is lost. Once the photo hit the media of the guy crapping on the cop car they lost huge chucks of support especially in the Upper Midwest. The protest in MN hasn't drawn more than a few hundred.
Many many Libertarians and Ron Paul Republicans agree and support the basic premise of OWS, however they lose us when the group trots out the same old tired, failed Progressive movement issues and agendas. What can the average citizen do to let Wall street know the shenanigans are over?
If you have good credit, refinance your mortgage with a local bank that services its own mortgages. That way it won;t be portfolioed and sold and end up at a BoA or Wells Fargo.
Same with Credit cards and any other accounts. Stay away when you can from money center banks keep the money in your community.
Create a plan to become debt free, Plan your work and work your plan. When you're debt free it opens up a lot of options.
Develop a regular savings/investment plan and stick to it. Even if it's a meager $10/week, eventually it ends up being quite substantial/ On a side note once you get your debt paid off you'll be surprised how much money you'll have to invest.
If you buy a new car every three years extend it to five and get the full value of your expenditure plus makes more money available for paying down debt or savings. I've owned my car for 3 years and no payment is a wonderful thing. One can do many things with $450 x 36 in cost avoidance.
Flipping the bird to Wall Street and money center banks is not that tough, it's like anything else you have to make it a priority, I saw this coming an personally I shed all of my debt, moved to where it was cheaper to live by 56% and now I can actually save money even if I make a meager $12.00 hour. If/when I do better then that I go on vacation to Europe or Hawaii. Like an old friend of my Dad said, "Bobby, it's not what you make! It's how much you keep"

So the people holding up signs comparing Obama to Hitler, why were they there? Or any number of either irrelevant, ignorant or borderline racist signs. Wha about the little kids holding up signs, did they know why they were there?
Like I said....the TP people if asked could tell you why.
Little kids....you refer to the twenty somethings at OWS or children at a rally because their parents brought them.....kind of a lame comparison.
Little kid has no choice....OWS useful idiots do.
What is wrong with people holding signs comparing Obama to Hitler?
Bo Cephus did it....and he don't care.

The speech that needs to be protected most is that speech that is most offensive to the majority.
