people can disparage the tea party groups - but they did clean up after their marches and protests (or just meetings) - these photos from the UK -- really make one wonder....

Now this will make us all stand up, take notice and listen.

Lots of food for thought here.

W-w-w-wait a minute. A militaristic metaphor?

So anyway, it's clear what this all is...the next step of Obamabot psychosis as 60s style "hope and change" slips through their fingers, along w/ the rest of Johnson's Great Society...they are now in the stage of ecstatic violence, the "liberation of the oppressed," the "dictatorship of the proletariat," etc. Force is the only solution now, which, as I've said a million times, is always implicit within Utopian transformationalist idealism. Here it comes, folks....

Oh man. That's it, it's over.

those who Occupy: We stand with you.

We, the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors, compelled by our personal convictions and our Company’s mission and values, wish to express our deepest admiration to all of you who have initiated the non-violent Occupy Wall Street Movement and to those around the country who have joined in solidarity. The issues raised are of fundamental importance to all of us. These include:

The inequity that exists between classes in our country is simply immoral.
We are in an unemployment crisis. Almost 14 million people are unemployed. Nearly 20% of African American men are unemployed. Over 25% of our nation’s youth are unemployed.
Many workers who have jobs have to work 2 or 3 of them just to scrape by.
Higher education is almost impossible to obtain without going deeply in debt.
Corporations are permitted to spend unlimited resources to influence elections while stockpiling a trillion dollars rather than hiring people.

We know the media will either ignore you or frame the issue as to who may be getting pepper sprayed rather than addressing the despair and hardships borne by so many, or accurately conveying what this movement is about. All this goes on while corporate profits continue to soar and millionaires whine about paying a bit more in taxes. And we have not even mentioned the environment.

We know that words are relatively easy but we wanted to act quickly to demonstrate our support. As a board and as a company we have actively been involved with these issues for years but your efforts have put them out front in a way we have not been able to do. We have provided support to citizens’ efforts to rein in corporate money in politics, we pay a livable wage to our employees, we directly support family farms and we are working to source fairly traded ingredients for all our products. But we realize that Occupy Wall Street is calling for systemic change. We support this call to action and are honored to join you in this call to take back our nation and democracy.

These guys are in Vermont, right?

See? That's it -- the same language as "hope and change," but on the brink of psychosis.

"Everything seemed to be going so well...and then they announced over the intercoms to come and get our free ice cream...and we were so happy, because everyone loves Ben and Jerry's...nobody knew what was in it at first, and by the time we understood, it was too late...and there sat the Lotion Man, pious and imperious on his throne, wearing reflective sunglasses...'Come get your ice cream, come get your ice cream,' they said...and we obeyed and even spread the message ourselves, because we'd been trained to repeat everything we were told..."

Well first to the most important thing -if you haven't had the opportunity to taste Graeters ice cream - you haven't lived.

Bah BJ's - what a bunch of dopes and suckers - sorry but looking at the Paul Krugman flag - I think we all know what this group is all about and I just keep waiting for the battering rams.

At some point that stench will become unbearable - then again Bloomberg is probably just waiting for the inclimate weather to come along and that takes care of that.

NO surprises here is there.

Bloomberg is perfectly willing to let them stink up Wall Street - lets see how he feels about private residences - his own for instance.

The Dems can rant all they want about comparisons to the Tea Party - it's just not there - period. Saying something over and over doesn't make it true.

Bloodthirsty Latin American Communist whips up the crowd into a murderous frenzy.

Afterwards, they distributed their free Ben and Jerry's.

Yikes. That guy made zero sense. Provocateur, no doubt.
