Really... I am a Vietnam vet tazzy two tours…now tell me again how you know how we felt...you heard it I lived it. You should not talk down to people when you don’t know anything about them.

Ah, I get it. You think my father was spat upon because he was a vet.... try thinking a bit more outside the box. Try being spat upon by the very men you served with.

"Unlike Twitter and Facebook, Wired reports that to become a member, you will need a sponsor to ensure you are trustworthy... Established social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, are considered to have been at the center of revolutions across the world this year. However, members of the Occupy movement fear these networks would turn over private messages, when confronted by authorities."

Many.. define many... because poll after poll has shown support for the movement.


Nice try. But disapproval for police actions does not automatically equal support for OWS. Those polled about the police involvement could simply be expressing their views about police involvement in *any* protest. It doesn't mean they supported what OWS claims to support.

The paranoia thing is funny enough, but ANYONE (be they on the Left or the Right) who thinks they can realistically withhold anything from the "authorities" is more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

2 are members, 2 are not. Burning the flag is completely legal. Burning without a permit in some states may not be a big deal, it is in the south.
Yeah, it's these extended droughts. The county I'm in is the only one in the 18 county ATL metro area that allows any burning (w/o permitting) at all, and that's only with restrictions, and only from Oct. 1 to Apr. 30.

If you think a bunch of hippies burning bras and flags represented the views of America in the 60's and 70's you would be wrong again... Almost 40,000 men and women died, their caskets covered, and flag presented to their grieving relatives. Americans that burned flags then were assholes and they are today.

I fought for their right to burn our flag but I reserve the right to say fuck um and anybody else that thinks it is ok to insult those that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Butch
So you would say "fuck you" to my brother?

No offence, but you dont understand this movement in the least.

What I am saying...that you can't seem to comprehend... is that burning the flag will do the OWS no good...
Butch
And what you can't seem to comprehend is:
1)OWS is in NEW YORK CITY, on the southern end of the island of Manhattan. OWS has NOTHING TO DO with Charlotte, NORTH CAROLINA.
2) OCCUPY CHARLOTTE has (as much as any inorganization can) disavowed the actions of the four people involved.
3) THe four people involved have stated that the action they took was their own protest, and not "by" or "for" or "representing" OC.

The original story: Police not sure OC part of this. Action took place in front of the OC encampment.
Then RealClear's story: "...NEAR the Occupy Charlotte camp..."
Then RealClear's Headline: "Two U.S. Flags Burned AT Occupy Charlotte..."
Finally, Heretic's Hysteria: "Occupy tries to stay in the news"
- It's not even Occupy Charlotte now, it's all of the Occupy movement. (denoted by #OCCUPY)

Are you following the chain of distortions here, Butch?

The French, they know something about class, class warfare, and revolution. A revolution is a pretty messy, inefficient way to redistribute wealth, but one that people finally turn to when they see no alternative. The history of the French Revolution tells of men who tried to reform, but were rebuffed, stymied, and outmaneuvered by the entrenched nobility. It tells of misspending on foreign wars, an indecisive king, and a broken tax system that allowed the very richest to push the burden back onto the rest of society.

Sound familiar?

Beyond that, do your own homework for a change.

From your link...

"...a tweet that Fawkes sent in October linking to a website that listed the personal information of ranking Boston police officers."


Hmmm... so idiotic OWS Libs/Lefties are outraged at the prospect of THEIR "personal information" being released after THEY promoted the release of "personal information" of others?!!  LOL ! ! !
