Dude, turn off your Lefty brain dead politicking and start thinking for yourself.

Again, the bridge people are fools.
I am using my brain. That's why I disagree with you.

Part of using one's brain is recognizing distinctions. The tea party and the occupy wall street protesters have some common grievances. Their ideas on the ways to resolve those grievances are in many instances diametrically opposed.

What was it - eighth grade when we first started having to answer "compare and contrast" test questions. Go back and look in your eighth grade school books, and learn to recognize that groups can have similarities AND differences.

One can understand a position and at the same time recognize that it is FOS. Believe it or not, not everything in this world is black and white. When we use our brains, we can begin to see the shades of gray.

D-Ray

I'm still wondering why the Tea Party wasn't met with nightsticks and mace.............

Could it be because our sycophant government and it's corporate masters like teabaggers?

I think so.

Another simply stupid analysis by an elitist Lefty and honestly not worth responding too.

I've never been to a rally, and I'm sure as hell not going to start now.

But from what I've read, the Tea Party went to great lengths NOT to break the law and didn't force confrontations with the police.

By and large, the cops don't like throwing people in jail. It tends to get them skinned up, they have to fill out a bunch of paperwork, and they might wind up spending their day off sitting in a courtroom.

They're pretty much like everyone else...they want to do their 8 and go home and drink a couple of beers. If you're polite to them, 9 times out of 10 they'll give you a break if they can.

But if you piss in their cornflakes, odds are you're going to jail.

One thing I've learned over the past several weeks. Whenever you respond in this manner, it mean that you've run out of intelligent things to say and are conceding the argument. It happens all too frequently.

I stand by my post...just more dribble. That's why you guys will get blown out again. And when that happens, you and all the rest of the snobby Lefty's will post more of the same crap.
Your going to lose and it's your own fault.
Now, go back under your rock until someone wants to talk to you.

I think Nolan Finley sums it up pretty well, too.
