    I hope he has some Toilet Paper in the backpack too, you know, so NYC police won’t have anything to clean up.

    Borders Books, instead of just letting Obama hand Soros a standing army…although it did take Gyorgi awhile to get them off the couch.

    There are a lot of bizarre individuals and self-indulgent young people involved in OWS — but there are also many sincere people who are concerned about the confluence of big business and government and the noxious antics of the Federal Reserve in propping up mega-banks at the expense of small local banks and credit unions.

    This is a message conservatives can agree with (at least this one does). As long as OWS is focused on raising awareness and not advocating specific legislation, then I think the right should join with them. The tea parties should link up with them and spoil the media narrative that the tea party is “astroturf.”

      Tea-Peer?

      we hate them lol. but really.

      They didn’t say that the government is totally corrupt and in bed with big business then turn around and call for more big government!

      • benjaminz

        To be fair, that isn’t the solution the anarchists are proposing.

      the Tea Party or anything that we stand for. Every interview that I have heard from these people has been about wealth redistribution and hating individual success. It is not simply being about bank bailouts. These are not the kinds of people any freedom-loving American makes alliances with.

      If we can change some minds, then that would be great. But many have been indoctrinated into this collectivist mentality and most likely will not change their minds. If they do not, then no alliance can be made.

      If you don’t believe me study the Constitutional Royalists in the French Revolution. They made alliances with these sort of people and ended up fleeing France for their lives.

        definitely brought the French Revolution to mind.

        The best thing about these protestors is that they will turn off swing voters in droves.

        • lineholder

          because Obama and Pelosi have given the protesters their blessings.

        • runner12

          With all the pollution and noise they are creating, they may even turn some Dems our way!

          who will not appreciate being compared to the anti-capitalist/free market, disrespectful, trash leaving, nudity loving slackers. Every time our local tea party has an event of any kind, we are reminded to leave the place in better shape than we found it, which is exactly what we’ve done. We have made it a point to thank local officials and law enforcement for their help at events when warranted, and we make an effort to support local businesses who have supported our cause. That’s quite a contrast from the OWS group, no matter how much the left and the media try to spin that we’re similar. It just ain’t so.

          • JSobieski

            It was a biting contrast that every conservative will enjoy, even those who strongly dislike Rand. It really does mirror the difference between the Tea Party and the OWS people

    Yes, many OWS are hypocrites, ignorant, but they are brainwashed pawns. They are ironically open to new suggestions, besides the union thug agitators.

    The goal here by the left is to sucker the right in alienating this group to reinforce the idea that the right is big business loving meanies.

    Cain fell for it but sort of redeemed himself by telling them they should be at the White House.

    • Doc Holliday

      I am glad we are alienating those already alienated nuts. They are socialist mush brains, they defecate on police cars, attack Jews, practice cult like chanting, while denying black Civil Rights hero’s even the basic right to speak.

      The trap we ARE falling into, is this Mormongate religion battle. Come on, over 500 posts arguing religion? Do you people, and I mean everyone here, know that the actual TRAP the left has been planning all year was to call us religious nuts? They call us dominionists, whatever than means. Yet I have seen otherwise rational people argue all freaking weekend over nothing, nothing the Tea Party ever talked about, nothing that brought us victory in 2010, nothing that will help us defeat Obama.

      JMHO

        I’m sick to death of the Mormon battle, it’s a totally brain-dead exercise that gets us nowhere. Now, were this a theological site, I’d be all in, but it’s not and it’s pointless and a distraction.

        The OWS folks, OTOH, we should be pulling video and linking it to Democrats. They happen to be dangerous.

      • Common_Cents

        Agree on calling out all the leftist agitators. But we have to be careful not to alienate the pawns. The brainless whacked left need to be exposed. However there are plenty of confused people looking for new answers and real leadership as well.

        Agree on the religion thing. It is just a ploy to divide our side.

        What a complete waste of time arguing about it on RS. To that extent we have fallen into their trap.

      • lineholder

        not long ago about Dominionism (and I’m sorry but I’m draw a blank right now on whose blog it was but I do remember it was a female). This is supposedly an extremist version of Christianity that wants to rule the world. The author was purporting that two candidates in the race have connections with this group, but there was nothing to substantiate that as fact.

        It really, REALLY got on my nerves. Talk about handing the left a ready-made narrative!!!

        We get sucked down the MSM’s rabbit holes far more than we should as it is, and it isn’t helping us any to do it.

      Mock them instead, it’s much more effective.

    His hand woven sleeping bag.

    The one he plans to knit himself to avoid participating in the evil kapitalist system, presumably out of non-kapitalist yarn. Where does one procure non-kapitalist yarn? And how does one certify that said non-kapitalist yarn is, in fact, non-kapitalist, anyway? Is it thinner, or dyed a different color for easy identification?

    Is it okay to knit non-kapitalist yarn with knitting needles that might be kapitalist knitting needles, if that’s the only kind one can procure? Or would this create a decadent quasi-kapitalist product which could cause difficulties sleeping?

    Our fellow traveler better get cracking if he intends to continue occupying Zuccotti Park in the coming months. Or is it that knitting can’t begin prior to a full consensus of the assembly?

      In this heat? Yet they all think it’s cool.

      • rickdeckard

        like those expanding wallet/purse/suitcase/thingies I used to see on TV.
