There are two types of protesters, libertarian/ conservative/ Tea party: end the FED, pro free markets, low taxes, but anti-globalist corporatism.
Then there's the progressive/ Commie/ ACORN/UNION: end capitalism,pro big government, tax the rich, social justice promoters, but the FED bank is ok.

Let 'em protest - I grew up in the 60s and remember that in '68, after four years of such on-going protests nation-wide, the next 4 out of 5 Presidents were Republican and made voting easier. 
And so it goes...

Yup- Dennis Prager said the longer they are protesting, the better it is for conservatives. It shows the rest of the country how looney tunes the Left really is...

I agree.
Let the Marxists, anarchists, and environazi wackos rep for the Dims and front their cause till Election Day.
Funny thing is, they think they represent a majority of Americans. Self-delusional.

This ties in with my riot theorem perfectly. Everything is proceeding precisely as I have foreseen it. I'm gonna start wearing a hooded robe.

Get with the times - auto-flagellation is so medieval. It's far better to practice good Christian charity. Take up a Cat-O-Nine in each hand and lay about you in the full vigor of your zeal; give until it hurts (them). After all doesn't the New Testament say it's much better to give than to recieve? And if you can give in Biblical proportion (10:1) is it not that much better? For surely the protestors have sown discord and stupidity in their wake; should they not reap the benefits of their labors in full measure? And why should'nt The Great One's Followers be the instrument of their reward?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

FIGHT TO HOLD WALLSTREET ACCOUNTABLE NOW! MAKE A DIFFERNENCE GET PAID!
This gets crazier by the day....you can apparently get paid to protest!
Quote:
The Working Families Party (WFP) (www.workingfamiliesparty.org) is New York's most energetic, independent and progressive political party. Formed in 1998 by a grassroots coalition of community organizations, neighborhood activists, and labor unions, we came together to build a society that works for all of us, not just Wall Street CEOs and the well-connected. WFP is independent from corporate and government funding and in-addition we are community based; community funded and equally uninfluenced by both major parties. Our agenda focuses on economic and social justice, corporate accountability, job creation, environmental protection, and investment in education and healthcare.
For the past twelve years the WFP has been at the fore front of progressive politics,
Leading the fight and helping to frame the debate. The WFP has a proud record of fighting for issues that matter and has been instrumental in implementing key pieces of legislation such as Raising New York's Minimum Wage, Enacting Living Wage Laws, Creating Thousands of Jobs In the Green Economy, Passing Healthcare Reforms on the Local Level, Fighting for Affordable Housing, Keeping Tuition Costs Low, A Progressive Tax Code, Reliable/Cost Effective Public Transit System, Public Financing Of Elections and Corporate Accountability . In addition, we have an unapologetic stance on supporting and pushing good candidates to enact progressive legislation
The WFP is seeking immediate hires.
You must be an energetic communicator, with a passion for social and economic justice.
Only outgoing, articulate dedicated, determined candidates will be considered for the positions.

This phenomenon is getting big and harder to control.
I heard there were over 2 dozen protesters at the Occupy Ft. Worth rally.

Buncha pansy-@$$ed pu$$ies - in my time there were bombings, kidnappings, bank robberies, kidnappings, etc.
What's this younger generation coming to?
And so it goes...

Probably the easiest handful of bucks they earned recently. America, the land of opportunity.
Let me see if I can find that and put the link up...
