As Warren spoke to the audience, a man interrupted and complained about her support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. When the crowd attempted to shout him down, Warren intervened and asked them to let him speak. He said that he was unemployed and that the Tea Party has been protesting Wall Street longer than OWS.
During a Q&A session with students from Furman University on Monday evening, Duncan compared illegal immigrants to animals, and called them vagrants.
I recently changed pharmacies to a local mom and pop shop. After going to the CVS for years, I finally reached my boiling point when they installed those self checkout machines. Now other big chain stores have them too, but CVS brought it to a whole new level. Besides the fact that they don’t work, the staff is forced to stand behind the machines and encourage people to use them.
Zach’s mother, Rebecca Collins, wants the world to know that her 15-year-old son was beaten earlier this week at his Chillicothe, Ohio, high school because he is gay. Another student recorded the confrontation on his/her cell phone. What we hear and see is frightening and shameful:
More pledges, more discrimination, more religious extremism, and more hate. That’s what a college in Georgia is adopting as a new policy designed to purify the staff.
If there’s something strange about your foreclosure proceedings, who ya gonna call? Nevada has the answer.
Why is October 31 2011 a big f***ing deal? Well, for the kiddies out there it means a great night of Trick or Treating, but for political junkies like myself it has a much darker and sinister appeal this year.…
It’s funny that Fischer would talk about stealing and coveting considering that the big bankers and numerous corporations are guilty of both and more. Wall Street has stolen hundreds of billions if not trillions from the American people over the last thirty years. And they want to steal more.
When it came to devastating BP oil spill, Rick Perry’s thoughtful and secular solution was to say “From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.” I wonder if Rick Perry is one of those things.
So now Perry has mysteriously developed some political doubts about the relevance of the debates as a whole in regards to the political well-being of the candidate, as he told Fox’s Bill O’Reilly that agreeing to participate in the debates at all was probably a mistake. Again, in a true anti-Texas fashion of manning up, Perry blames the inner-workings of the debate forum instead of putting the blame where it squarely belongs, which is on his rickety debate performances with him as the sole skipper.
The lack of intellectual curiosity about how things work and an almost pathological pursuit of the lowest common denominator of understanding is frighteningly apparent to anyone with a modicum of awareness. Both have risen almost exponentially over the last few years.
The beautiful thing about OWS is the amount of forgiveness they extended to the officers. They never turned violent toward them. The people themselves are from all walks of life, black, white, men, women, old, young, rich and poor. All converged to exercise our right to freedom of assembly. All rights must be preserved by all or enjoyed by none.
We knew it then, but we also know that when Moore states that he had never owned shares, he’s blatantly lying, and maybe that merits a private visit to a confessional with a priest of his choice; or maybe it takes another interview with another British journalist to raise this fact for Moore to dispute and josh off.
Even so, let’s take this in, Fox News–known for their ‘right leaning’ poll results–has just released a poll that shows that not only do those questioned think the President has good ideas, but also that he is empathetic to the trials and travails of ordinary citizens.
In what would be a stunning disregard for First Amendment rights, rumors are swirling that the Republican controlled Congress is now considering a new bill that could blackout sites such as Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and other sites that utilize content generated by users.
Olsen survived two tours in Iraq only to be struck in the head by a police projectile while peacefully protesting the state of our nation here at home.
President Obama’s reelection team has already concluded that Romney will most likely be the man whom Obama faces in the 2012 general election. Aides and advisors to Obama are already centering the president’s reelection campaign on an all out assault of Mitt Romney’s complete and utter lack of conviction and dubious business background.
The facts are as clear as the nose on your face. Not only has this bastard-child of an economic scheme been responsible for the bulk of the U.S. debt over the last three decades, which the vaunted defenders of the faith fail to even acknowledge, it has been responsible for the biggest upward redistribution of wealth in this country since the 1800s – the time of the great land barons.
Good news continues to mount on the economy. Third quarter profits were up 16% from last year’s third quarter numbers and the stock market is having its best run in God knows when. Yep, things are really looking bleak these days, for the doomsayers, that is.
The motto of the Occupy Wall Street Movement is ‘We Are the 99 Per Cent.’ Well, yes, they are, but the celebs who come to lend their all-important ‘moral’ support are not; nor do they intend to change their lifestyles to accommodate their so-called sympathies to the movement.
