Wouldn’t do to talk to people that disagree with you, now would it?

CNN is reporting that an NYPD officer was stabbed on New Years Eve night by an OWS protester as the officer attempted to arrest the protester. The incident reportedly occurred following the re-occupying of Zuccotti Park and the march that followed.

With the inane clown posse Republican Iowa Caucus and State-wide primaries right around the corner, we can unequivocally expect a tsunami of phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things to said (especially if Bachmann makes it through Iowa). But in the mean time, it’s important to look back and reflect on some of the phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things that were already said.

A dramatic and unexpected victory at Zuccotti Park in Manhattan.

In a campaign event in Sioux Center, IA, Ron Paul recycled some of his classics, his conspiracy theories.

On this morning’s Fox and Friends, Fox News’ Legal Analyst Peter Johnson, Jr. is good…really good. Not only did he try to marginalize the Occupy protestors, he managed to rally around the troops in the same two minute and 55 second segment.

2011 made me weary, and I’ll be honest: During the past few days, I wondered if I’d ever regain my spark, ever be able to find the energy to continue to try to slay the dragons that are roaring and breathing fire over us. It all seemed too much.

At a recent campaign stop in Pella, Iowa, presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R – PA) made special note of his (and the majority of his party’s) views on economic reform as relevant to today’s socio-economic upheavals.

If we’re going to go to the trouble and risk of changing the Constitution, it had better be because some fundamental liberty is being endangered, or some inviolable right being compromised. Like, say, if powerful, unelected corporations and banking cabals were working to undermine democracy.

Showing how out of touch they are with everyday Americans, conservatives have latched onto the news that the share of national income taken in by the top 1% fell from 23% in 2007 to ‘only’ 17% in 2009 to contend that the focus of Occupy Wall Street and others on economic inequality is somehow misguided.

Please feel free to contact the NYPD and offer your opinions Michael DeRosa, Sr., George Cruz, Wayne Rhatigan, Rey Hernandez and Michael DeMeo. Please share and ask your friends to do the same. It’s time to toss out some bad apples.

I don’t want to say that cops are out of control. I don’t want to say that they are treating American citizens as Abu Ghraib prisoners. I don’t want to say that because I don’t actually believe that. I still believe that the majority of police officers are in their jobs for the right reason, to Protect and to Serve the public. That being said, videos like this are hard to swallow, and we’ve seen far too many of them lately.

Humanity now, as a whole, has a choice to make: We can either create a future that does away with the old order and establishes an environment in which we can survive and prosper or we can keep the status quo which will lead to our destruction.

According to the video below, National Guard soldiers are being trained to shoot American citizens. A soldier refused to say he would and was allegedly arrested.

Is it the man or woman who lives in a tent, day after day, to fight for your rights? Is it that man or woman who lives on lands that are foreign to them? Is it that man and woman who, each and every day, does not know if someone carrying a weapon will attack them without any provocation, but merely because they were ordered to do so?

The current historical trend of occupying public space to address social issues began in the Middle East and Spain. When Occupy Wall Street started a U.S. occupy movement, encouraged by an advertisement in the Canadian magazine Adbusters, on September 17, 2011, the mainstream media and public officials were caught off guard.

Occasional human being and pretend presidential candidate Michele Bachmann took a swipe at Occupy Wall Street movement Sunday, saying that the movement is far less likely to gain traction with Americans than the Tea Party.

Setting the record straight on the Occupy movement and its goals.

Republican strategist Frank Luntz, whose sole job is to massage and twist facts so as to neatly coincide with the GOP corporate agenda, is naturally worried about the political ramifications of Occupy Wall Street.

This week, the United States Senate passed S. 1867 also known as the National Defense Authorization Act including sections 1031 and 1032 which authorize the military to arrest and indefinitely detain American citizens without trial or charge.
