Why is it that conservatives are perfectly willing to send our youth off to die, and chickenhawk here back in the states while those kids are getting their limbs blown off for big oil?
Meanwhile, kids from the same age group are trying to recover our way of life, ours, the citizen's way of life, here in America, and they get absolutely no respect for their efforts.
It's a war, people. These kids in OWS are at war.
Take a look at what they're doing. They're waging a propaganda war against the kings of propaganda. They're doing it without much help, while sleeping in the streets, and living like animals.
No different than being on a long patrol in the sand.
Folks, our government is the enemy. They have proven that with their refusal to act in our best interests, time, and time, and time again.
These kids? These kids are our soldiers. They volunteered. They show up, and they never leave, for your way of life.
What the hell exactly is your deal that you can't get behind these kids? Maybe not always their methods, but what is your major malfunction that prevents you from getting behind the idea?
Do you LIKE being corporate slaves?
Do you LIKE electing folks that ignore you, and keep you busy with BS social issues while they're funneling the treasury out the back door?
Do you seriously like that?
What is your deal? Really
Regarding the black - They are defending all Americans, which includes big oil. WTC was an attack by foreign entities against the 1% and the 99%.
Regarding the blue - Many of OWS don't know why they are there. Some of the professional protesters or paid by unions. I think before they protest, they should look at themselves and see why they are where they are before blaming others.
Regarding the red - they are not protesting government, but private businesses.
In general, you compare the military to OWS. The military (usually) has a defining goal - protecting American interests by the use of force.
What is the goal of OWS?
Is it equal outcome? I don't agree with that.
Is it equal opportunity? I'm good with that.
Is it to get their student loans paid off?
Is it to punish rich people because they themselves are not rich?

Do you know what the goal is?
They are not there solely for the banks. The kids know our government is the problem, due to their inaction. However, if our government doesn't want to take the issue to the banks, THOSE KIDS will.
....and NOBODY except for the seal team that wacked Osama has done a thing for my "freedom". The rest have been there preserving big oil's business.
You want a goal? Here's one. OWS is fighting for our freedom. Does that work? Because you folks swallowed that line of crap hook line and sinker for the US military invading Iraq. Does it work for ya?
OWS: Fighting for your freedom to sustain a living in America
There, I just wrote the first magnetic ribbon for your SUV. Have a ball.

I laughed so hard I fell off my chair.. Lets see you connect the dots on this one.
Freedom from what? Banks? Who the hell is forcing you to use the banks and how the hell is rioting in the streets going to get freedom from banks you arent forced to use to begin with?
Fighting for freedom and the ability to maintain our standard of life. Where do you think all the lithium and rare earth elements for these 'green' products (and steel, magnets etc) is coming from...
The OWS loves technology like cell phones and internet but they better undrstand where the parts come from.

Like I said, Freedom to sustain a living in America. The freedom to pursue happiness without living under the financial tyranny imposed by Wall Street.
C'mon, I can stretch this however it needs to go. After all, that stupid hick Bush pulled it off. This isn't even a workout.

The OWS maggots are not my soldiers. I can't possibly explain how pathetic your OP is.
