Whew!  Thank you for that.  I was beginning to worry that we were losing our edge.

7 Does anyone have a count of all of the OWS participants so we can figure out their real percentile.

OWS/300,000,000

If they had one million participants nation wide (which they don't!) they would be the 0.33%

21 These OWS people have been around for over forty years now, saying the same Shit and using the same methods when possible ( when someone gives them the money and organization ).

Look at the old video from Chicago 1968, man.  History repeats itself--like that Dead Frog said,  tragedy / comedy

22

So in other words, GET A FUCKING JOB!

This is a prime example of why I cannot and will never look down on the folks working the fryers at McDonald's because they are working at or near minimum wage to survive.

These OWS cocksuckers want everything handed to them, buncha fucking worthless parasites.

Okay I understand "Occupy" implies, well, occupation, but why occupy. Everyone who's been camping knows that you get pretty damn grungy after a few days away from showers. Not really the best condition to present your message. And there's the astonishing lack of shame required to actually sleep and crap in a public park. That's why whenever someone talks about the "sane" people at one of these rallies I just can't picture it.

It's spreading outward like a slow-motion blast radius. Have a friend who grew up in Flint in the 70's and went back for a family reunion two years ago.

He was shocked at how much the area outside Detroit had deteriorated. As for Detroit, itself, he was appalled at how much the place had fallen.

Not to overstate the case, but it must have felt the way I felt when I went back to where the WTC was after 9/11. You know how bad it was but when actually stand there, you really can't fully comprehend the amount if destruction that occurred.

I can't tell if any of the others were invited to the AFP event, but the fact that Romney is keynoting it suggests not.  The Iowa dinner is more of a real candidate forum - they're all equal.

The Americans For Prosperity thing is in DC... I think.  I'll check.  AFP was founded and is supported by one of the Koch Bros.  It used to be part of a bigger group that included Armey's FreedomWorks... they split into two groups.  AFP is the one where Romney and Cain are speaking.

While these kids are adults and their choices now are their own, I can't help but wonder WTF was wrong with their parents that they all turned out this way.

I am 52 have been working almost fulltime since age 16.  I have been with the same employer 23 yrs.  Well respected in a technical position with NO college degree.  Oh, and I have a garden.

148 Newt is speaking now.

149 Hahaa, Langone & Bloomberg are moving in the direction I predicted on my blog--from the fantastic book on Vietnam, The Quicksand War: “If filial obedience no longer existed the whole of Vietnamese society must crumble. The time had come for the defense of the ancient ways. The middle classes of Saigon, the governing bourgeoisie who had made advances to Nguyen Binh, suddenly realized that their own skins were at stake and wealth itself was threatened. As soon as they discovered this they grew very savage. There was no longer any question of the slightest “gentleness”; no question of the Vietminh’s nationalism. Now it was to be repression with blood and torture, a hundred ties crueler than the French of earlier days. It all developed very fast. Nguyen Phan-Long, that crooked genius who had shown himself such a simpleton as prime minister, was replaced by Father Huu, a veteran of the old school. And what came to power with Huu was money, the landowners, the confederation of the rich. Possessors who fear for their possessions are cruel, and nowhere are they crueler than in Asia." [or Manhattan, heheh]

150 "79 A friend from Michigan was telling me that things are so bad in Detroit now that it's really hard to get fruit/vegetables." Problem is that no businessman with half a brain in his head wants to operate in that city. And when grocery stores close because the vandalism, thieving, and violent crime make it impossible to operate decently, a good share of the citizens blame the store owner instead of the thugs. Don't know if it's been mentioned here, but Detroit bus drivers refused to drive their routes today or yesterday, because a driver was beaten by a mob of teens and the police took 30 minutes to show up. So when people who wanted to ride buses were interviewed, who did they blame? The thugs who beat up a driver? Nope the drivers who have the nerve to think they shouldn't be assaulted.

I just graduated with my BSc but did well without it for years. The reason I went back to school is that I have a bad ticker (congenital) and can't do heavy work anymore. The field I am in something that pays well and I actually enjoy doing. Navel gazing (i.e. philosophy, religion, music, etc) is something I have done as a leisure activity.

I am not sure when it happened but when did manual labor begin to be looked down upon in this country? We have such a need for people in trades that it is frightening.

Newt, while well spoken would be an out of focus candidate and error prone.

Not to mention he is radioactive to the gina tingle vote.

Pasty, pudgy, old white guys with little charisma or humor don't do to well with the ladies.

172 Perry would be pretty far down my list for a Mittens vp.  I'd prefer either a well spoken, younger, tea party type, or a rock solid foreign policy guy.

Well, I was answering your question from the perspective of mending fences.  I guess I misunderstood your question.

I don't trust Romney.  I think maybe if he chose his real opponent ('not buying that Cain is running against Mitt), someone who stood up to him, that person might be able to shift Romney right on one issue.  In the case of Perry, if Romney made him his point person on energy issues, that would something.

Rubio is lovely, but he would not hold any sway over Romney. 

At the end of the day, the way Romney has fallen in my eyes (from having voted for him last time), any VP would be lipstick on a pig.  But if he made nice with Perry and treated him with some gd respect, it would help me pull the level for him. 


Newt just said nice about the other candidates, but took a swipe at the two who were not there.

Bullshit, I'm a boomer and worked as a bridge carpenter through college. That was back when all carpenters were white guys, in fact you couldn't get into the carpenters union unless you were white. We sent out kids to college and steered them away from working with their hands so maybe it's partly our fault but not all of it.

I am not sure when it happened but when did manual labor begin to be looked down upon in this country?

It started to happen as the need for small farms  and dairies were not necessary. Technology made bigger operations more efficient. That's all good. But, give me a break. How can you compare doing chores for 4 hours a day and working all weekend as a youth on a farm be anything like mowing a lawn in the city once a week?

Just to be clear, I was not directing that at you, Baroque. Just a general statement.

215 216 You all DO know who really is behind this Cain bullshit right?

Is this a trick question? 

I think Politico is "behind" it, but my current guess is that the tip came from someone at the NRA.  That would explain the very limited scope of complaints. 

Everyone (defending Cain) tells us that all CEOs are targetted all the time by these things, but for some reason we only heard about things during his 3 yrs at the NRA.  Political consultants and advisors would know about all of his potentially damaging incidents, not just ones from '96-'99. 

216

I am not sure when it happened but when did manual labor begin to be looked down upon in this country? We have such a need for people in trades that it is frightening.

It was explained to me thusly; I don't have any money.  I will never have any money so, there is no point in saving any money.

220 Hello? 

Echo...

^_echo

221 Zoom out, Y-Not.  Though that could make commenting difficult...

222 No, I get what you're saying.

I think we can agree that the, for lack of a better term, Protestant work ethic has waned with the rise of the Nanny/Welfare state. I would also add the Victim State to as in everyone is a victim so nothing really anyone's fault.

For the record, when I started working on farms it was a daily job as the farm I worked at was just five miles up the road. When they were short of work or had none, I would go to other farms. This was in addition to a paper route and working around my parent's property.

223 Okay, I know I am full of tequila.. but I am gonna throw this out there and ya'll can shoot it full of holes.  Cain is doing very well.  He is either leading the polls or just a point behind Romney.  I can't imagine that Obama would want to run against Cain.  Can you even imagine that scenario?  Two black men running for the presidency?  One conservative and one uhh.. well a fucking loon?

224 I would also add the Victim State to as in everyone is a victim so nothing really anyone's fault.

Oh, there's fault. White people, male people, conservative people, Christian people, the Founders--they're all oppressors, not victims.

225 231 Okay, I know I am full of tequila.. but I am gonna throw this out there and ya'll can shoot it full of holes.  Cain is doing very well.  He is either leading the polls or just a point behind Romney.  I can't imagine that Obama would want to run against Cain.

---

Well, Politico seems to be an arm of the administration, so that's not much of a stretch.

I don't know if it was so much targeted at Cain as just throwing a grenade into the whole GOP primary.  It certainly had the beneficial (for Obama) effect of spreading shrapnel throughout the field and upsetting the GOP voters. 

I still think that the best theory I've seen is that it was an NRA board member.  I haven't seen any evidence that the complainants initiated it.  And the charges against Perry's guy are bullshit - or I'm sure Politico would gleefully take Anderson up on his offer to spill the beans if he was the source.

I agree with you. It has been a long slow process. Until the last few years the decline has been so slow, most people didn't realize what was happening.

228 I guess it was a little over a week ago when I first saw the report come out that discussed the widening inequality gap between the various quintiles of income between 1980 and 2010. My response? Wooo hoooo! The issue of income "inequality" comes down to a simple question of what you want... a ladder or a treadmill. By definition, the larger the difference between wages at different income quintiles, the larger the reward for moving up from one level to another. That's the ladder. And the steeper the better. By definition, flattening income between quintiles to make them more "equal" means that no matter how much you work, you can never increase your standard of living. That's the treadmill. The OWS clowns sneer down their noses at getting jobs that they consider "wage slavery" while demanding income equality. With "income EQUALITY" gaining seniority gets you nothing. Gaining education gets you nothing. Gaining experience gets you nothing. Gaining skills gets you nothing. THAT's "wage slavery". Working away... never advancing... never rising... never achieving... with no hope of ever being to ever change the situation you're in or ever having any more than you have right now... until you die. So, ladder or treadmill? What say you? Ladder or treadmill? Is there really any question?

229 Can you even imagine that scenario?  Two black men running for the presidency?  One conservative and one uhh.. well a fucking loon?

I think that's why the Dem's attacks on Cain are so loose and confused. They're used to the racism charge and now all of a sudden, a black man is involved and pretty popular.

It's easy to see why the left is fumbling a bit but I don't understand why the right is trying to destroy him.

230 Maybe I'm thinking of another Cain...the Herman Cain Presidental canidate I have witnessed speaking would get his ass handed to him in a debate with Obama.

231 With "income EQUALITY" gaining seniority gets you nothing. Gaining education gets you nothing. Gaining experience gets you nothing. Gaining skills gets you nothing.

When you pay the janitor the same as the doctor, you get shitty doctors, but the toilets don't get any cleaner.

I've noticed most of the really HUGE incomes (sports, Hollywood, politics) don't seem to be derived from experience/education. Physical and mental talents are not evenly distributed.

One conservative and one uhh.. well a fucking loon?" En tequila veritas...

235 Ladder or Treadmill... Consider the steep ladder of income inequality from the standpoint of the labor market. Greater inequality between income quintiles indicates a labor market in which employers are being forced to compete more viciously to hire people with only marginally better skills, experience, education, etc. It means laborers have the leverage to force larger concessions from employers in terms of wages and benefits. Income inequality = labor paradise Ladder or treadmill? Getting it yet, OWS?

236 Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! However, how could we communicate?

"No. Obama would be off teleprompter and Cain would hand Obama's skinny ass back to him"

 If only that were so. You have to look through the eyes of the majority of the voting public. I saw through Obama straight away...most likely you did too.

53% of the voting public didn't.

238 Jeez, I just watched that video, it indeed chock-full of wisdom. I tell ya, tho, when that whiny little bitch Andrew, at 4:15, says "If you read history, economic inequality does not lead to good things," I wanted to take out a big fat old history book (Gibbon?) and bitch-slug him right across his prissy smirking mug with it. When you look up "arrogant brainless weasel tool" in the dictionary, you'll find Andrew Sorkin's face.

He is absolutely 100% spot on. 

Our society and our public schools reflect this reality:  more and more, people are becoming passive observers of life, and they truly believe that success comes from

1. luck,

2. the intervention / actions of others, or

3. their own God-given brilliance.

ALL OF THESE BELIEFS are inhibiting or self-defeating.  The only belief system that ultimately leads to success is a belief in the power of one's own effort. 

The best schools (and the best parents) in our country REPEATEDLY and CONSISTENTLY inundate students with this message:

"Hard work leads to success.  You control your own destiny."

If you want to know if your kid is at a good school or not, try the following experiment.  Pick your child's BEST teacher, the one you know challenges him/her the most.  Call the principal with a minor complaint about too much homework, or about the class being too hard.  See how the principal reacts. 

His/her reaction will tell you everything you need to know.
