Occupy movement magnet for violence.

You are ignorant of the facts. I support gay marriage.

When did I ever say that? Are you reading this forum through a piece of gauze or something?

That is quite an un-American statement. Yes, quite un-American.

Now, there's no need to start calling me insulting names.

You have a habit of putting words in people's mouths. I've never said those things. But, you must realize that freedom (of religion, marriage, voting rights, etc.) is not free. You must stand up for what you believe in, but not to the point where you infringe on my rights. Now, if the Flea Party wants to protest, they certainly can. But, if I want to enjoy the park they're inhabiting at the same time, don't you think I have that right? Well, from what you've said, no. But, you're wrong.

Where on God's green earth have I said that I think my rights are more important than theirs??? Or that my rights should "trump" theirs? Jeez, dealing with liberals is like talking to a brick wall....!!!

 

I am still confused about how people don't seem to understand how threaded conversations and discussions are supposed to work. I make some points about general conservative actions to suppress the rights of some people and the conservation slips into he said/she said/he said/she said back and forth.

Yes, CoinOKC I made some replies to you specifically, but several of them were about conservative versus liberal actions to suppress the rights of others.

I didn't call you an ass. I talked about your right to act like an ass. There is a difference.

 

I have to hand it to the democrat mayor of the town I live in. Our local flea baggers threatened legal action if they weren't allowed to camp & protest at a specific location along the riverfront. After much to do, the mayor & the city decided it was okay. The flea baggers put up their signs, tents, stoves, etc (ours is a group of about 10-15). Then the mayor ordered a change in traffic patterns!! Our riverfront is designed so that the main street can be easily closed down (to allow for activities) and traffic re-routed without any interruption. Now our flea baggers are all set up but no one will see them or have to put up with there nonsense.

 

In this one instance, I will allow your right to act like an ass to trump my right to act like an ass.

 

Absolutely classic! Your mayor must have studied Aikido or Ju-Jitsu. Turn your opponent's offense against them.

 

The who?

 

So are you saying that we had our little fling back in the 1760s and 1770s and forever after that we are supposed to behave?

 

Then by the same token you should not complain if some of these hitherto peaceful protesters when met with organized police state violence and thuggery chose to respond in kind to the extent that they are able. I do not support this, but your reasoning does. I will expect silence from you regarding any acts of violence against the authorities which can be attributed to protestors fighting back. Violence spawns violence. I would hope that OWS can be one of the exceptions but violence it seems is rarely a one-way street.

 

I think the proper and generally accepted adjective is "Democratic" not "Democrat". But that's okay. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. You just didn't know any better.

 

I made no comment on what the OWS should or should not do - so long as they are prepared for the appropriate (by those who respect the rule of law) reactions.

 

You know, the one referenced in one of our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence. The one who has endowed us with certain unalienable rights. That Creator.

 

Then this kind of thing was also "appropriate" in your view. I mean these people are not only blocking sidewalks and streets, but, gasp, a whole bridge. I mean where is the respect for the rule of law among this rabble? We must have order.

 

If he exists you can't kill him and if he doesn't exit, well you certainly can't kill him then either. If you could he'd be kind of a waste of space as a deity, wouldn't he?

 

Our founding fathers were smart enough to realize that there is something in most of us that recognizes right from wrong and gives us courage to stand up at risk to ourselves to correct an unjust and that was the spark that made the revolution that led to the civil war that led to various voting rights, workers rights, civil rights movements, etc and the etc is the most importent part for when people stop standing up for what they think is just then thats the end of justice. Call it the holy spirit that is in all of us, call it the devine spark, call it a soul but it does not make sense that people will risk it all for an idea unless there is something special in them.
Now I do not know the entire story of whats going on with this OWS movement and I am sure that there are people trying to manipulate it for their own purpose but it seems to me that alot of people are upset with what is going on be it the Tea Party standing with signs on street corners asking people to honk their horns and trying to get supporters elected or OWS people camping out not really knowing what to do but trying to express how they feel.

 

Is this the creator? 'cause he says he is.

 

If you want him to be your Creator, guess what? He is...!

 

Funny how that works.

 

Nah! Here is your creator;

 

Add "aggravated trespass" to the list of outrageous acts by the Flea Party:

"Occupy" protesters break into London office

LONDON (Reuters) - Demonstrators broke into an office building used by mining company Xstrata in central London on Wednesday and hung protest banners on the roof before police regained control of the building.

A group of about 60 from the "Occupy" movement entered the offices in Haymarket in protest at the pay of the company's chief executive, Occupy said in a statement.
Led by a samba band, they chanted and unfurled a banner which said: "All power to the 99 percent."

A spokeswoman for Xstrata said in a statement: "All executive pay is approved by the company's shareholders and is linked to company and individual performance."
Police removed the demonstrators and threw a cordon along the Haymarket, effectively sealing off the immediate area.

"At approximately 1550 hours (GMT) a containment was put in place outside Panton House, Haymarket, to prevent disorder by a group of protesters outside the building," police said in a statement.

"Some protesters have entered the building and officers are in the process of making arrests for aggravated trespass." It was unclear how many people were arrested.
TV footage showed demonstrators walking up and down the staircase, watched by members of staff.

The raid took place on the same day as thousands of public sector workers marched through London as part of a national day of protest against government plans to change their pensions.
"In this time when the government enforces austerity on the 99 percent, these executives are profiting," Karen Lincoln of Occupy London said in a statement.

Occupy London grabbed the headlines last month when they pitched about 200 tents outside St Paul's Cathedral after they were thwarted in an attempt to stage a protest outside their initial target, the London Stock Exchange.

Their protest is part of a global movement for social and economic change. They say economic and political power lies in the hands of just 1 percent of the population.
