    I posted three links in a row from relatively non-partisan sites - one a libertarian economics blog, one a military blog and another an author of a pro-capitalist book from Harvard and popfodder accuses me of being "partisan" just like himand then posting a screed about "lefties" and putting up a picture of a whining baby - apparently he doesn't understand a simple word like "partisan". Tells you all you need to know the level of intelligent communication you'll be getting from his corner. Zilch.

    You know, if we all vacated this thread, pf would eventually have to get another screen name and debate himself. He's already schizophrenic on the Occupy Wall Street thing, supporting it's intent while simultaneously degrading it's participants.

    TheBlowhard, didn't we already have this conversation. I don't give a flying fuck what you think. Obama is a failure. I don't care whether or not you like what I post or "think" I'm some paid poster or racist. It's none of your fucking business, so mind your own. Stop trying to act so holier than though, "Mr. Politics" and let others have their own say, just as well.

    • "Have your say"..you're just vomiting all over the fucking place.TheBlueOne
    • yeah PF if your gonna shit in here please give us a courteous flush!74LEO

    Nice, start with the name calling, check.

    And you fill page after page on a public discussion board with your crap and then tell me to "mind my business." Man, are you fucking dense, huh?

    You post here, it's my business - just as it's everyone else's. Otherwise sit in the dark on your couch and shout your bullshit at your dog.

    • ha!DrBombay

    About this OWS thing, it really isn't/shouldn't be a right/left thing. This is about corruption and collusion and poopfeeder is defending it. Just because liberals like it. He is no better than a Limbaugh ditto-head. Hates liberals so much he will compromise anything to disagree with them.

    So why did my other account get deleted? I was talking perfectly reasonably about greed with JSK in the Occupy Wallstreet thread and then kaput. Did someone take something personally or something? Seems inappropriate to say the least.

  • Ramanisky20

    popfodders is a goddamn clown... his beliefs, his words, his posts.. they mean nothing to any of us, well maybe deathboy and Viking.

    do you have any friends outside of the internetz ... I doubt it.

    • JSK likes him.

    So whats the real difference between these protesters and Tea Party protesters aside from political philosophy? If anything these protesting citizens illustrate just how well financed and professionally organized the Tea Party movement actually is.

    Within a very short two year time period, the Tea Party was able to organize nationwide with the Tea Party Express bus tour and corresponding events. They consistently secured permits to protest across the country, hence the lack of law enforcement intervention and mass arrests. They had excessive media and political support, to the point that they changed the face of Congress with it's recently elected Tea Party freshmen congressman.

    But what initially did the people that marched at these events actually have in common? Many still claim that it's supporters are non-partisan, conservative, or disaffected blue dog democrats. They didn't really have any solid singular message. Some complained about over regulation, or over taxation, or big government, some even brought firearms to express their constitutional right to bear arms.

    I've read that there are some Tea Party protesters involved in this as well. But it is interesting to see the distinction between the different avenues of support for the Tea Party and this current large organized gathering.

    • Very good point. It's because they are well-organized and peaceful and don't look as if they are going to destroy.
      ********
    • I would say a purposeful, visible display of firearms is a potentially threatening situation. You don't think law enforcement had any concerns with that display of rights?IRNlun6
    • enforcement had any concerns with that display of rights?IRNlun6
    • I'm sure that they do, on a certain level, but again, it's their right.
      ********
    • then again, it just could be cultural / lifestyle. gun permit, hunting people. Which, I AM NOT.
      ********
    • but back to your original point, I don't see much of a difference between the two groups on many levels.

    Why is it so hard to ignore him? For the most part that's what i try to do. If i think i can easily pick apart his articles without wasting too much of my time, i do.
    Don't give him the satisfaction of being the Lone Wolf Conservative braving the Liberal Wilderness. The worst that could happen is that he ramps up the rhetoric to the point where he's spamming, at which point he can be booted.

    • if he's not already spamming I don't know what is, his stuff takes up too much space to have a conversation in here.zarkonite
    • ha ha, amazing.. I'm a spammer and a troll for having my own viewpoint. Do you all own art, based upon politics?

    Speaking of the Tea Party - they protested Washington instead of Wall Street and focused on electing a new Congress. Did exactly what some of the conservatives in this thread are suggesting.

    What did it get them? The most corrupt, unproductive Congress in history. People who were willing to downgrade the credit rating for the entire country rather than raise taxes on the rich. They have not passed a single measure to help the jobless or home owners.

    After the Tea Party's actions, Congress has an approval rating of something like 9%.

    • suck on that popfodders! YEAH!!!74LEO
    • I wonder if they're going to get re-elected next time around? sounds like the Dems are growing a pair lately.zarkonite
    • ha ha, but I'm not in the Tea Party, nor do I support them. Suck on that!

    • also you better start showing some real statistics as well hombre.

    It doesn't make much sense to refuse to close the bugdet deficit when you know there's going to be interest on that new debt, close that gap immediately and deal with reducing government spending after.

    It takes time to reduce government intelligently, I don't see how it could be done in a few months. It took almost a decade to clean up the Canadian government but it started by raising taxes and forcing banks to stop gambling with people's savings... which totally saved our asses in 2008.

    • it's a mess, no one has a clear solution, that's a problem in itself

    Vallone, chair of the Public Safety Committee, said he'll be asking for an accounting at the end of it all.

    "We're going to spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even $1 million on this that we don't have. Because of these protests, we might even wind up shutting down schools and firehouses because this is costing a lot of money." Vallone said.

    • I think that's one thing that's not being taken into consideration. All these cops, medical teams, etc, aren't free.
