    “God bless them…and it’s going to be effective.”

    Don’t tell me I don’t need my 50 calibre.

    I just wonder when this might happen? Hhmmmmmm….

    If you want 50 different answers, ask 50 different Occupiers what their goal is. None of them have a clue — that’s why they do it.

    More like, “What is the SEIU’s goal?”

    The last seven seconds says it all.

    They are lost souls…grappling at ANYthing in search of a purpose.

    It won’t be, but this should be a MAJOR news story. Also reminds me that Elizabeth Warren claimed to be the intelligece behind the Occupy movement. I don’t remember the exact quote but it was something like that.

    In an old episode of Dobie Gillis, Maynard G. Krebs says he and those like him are rebelling. Dobie asks what they’re rebelling about. Maynard says, “I don’t know, man. We’re just rebellin’.”

    So my question is: the OccuScum have a goal?

    The occupy movement HAS a goal, communism (article on moonbattery right now) however the vast majority of the warm bodies are nothing more than “useful idiots” used as cannon fodder.

    Sort of like how Anonymous used the script kiddies to DDOS various sites from their daddy’s computer because the useful idiots thought it would be cool to be a “hacker”. Cannon fodder. Nothing more.

    I think the original occupy gathering was probably like what, 2 or 3 people? Those were the original instigators placed there to start the “movement”. The rest are just unemployed hippie rebels thinking “cool, man, I’m like Soooo gonna protest and stuff. Pass the bong, maaaaan…”

    I just occurred to me, if Nancy Pelousy was saying “god bless them…” I’m pretty sure she was NOT referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph. I’m not sure weather San Fran Nan is outright evil or completely empty headed but it makes absolutely no difference in how she and her rhetoric should be treated.

    The monetary/banking/financial system IS corrupt. And many OWSs blame this corruption and its nefarious effects on capitalism, whereas the corruption lies in a socialistic oligarchization of power.

    Money is good; to make money is laudable; yet now money has been corrupt and desacrated.

    So many folks do blame money (and the goal of money-making) as the reasong behind our political-economic problems. They’re wrong.

    Since the creation of the Fed and the New Deal and the Great Society and the Bailouts — this socialization of the monetary-banking system is continuing, killing capitalism and freedom, and instituting a socialist oligarchy. Many OWSs are right about the corruption; they’re wrong about the root causes: it’s because of socialism, not because of capitalism.
