WE DO NOT WISH TO OVERTHROW OR TAKEOVER THE UNITED STATES, What WE DEMAND is private influence ended, fairness re-established. We want an end to the oppression of the average American. We demand a restoration of a Gov't "Of the people, By the people and for the people"!
Wanting to get rid of private influence is pretty much the same as saying you want communism, as communism abolishes all private property. You better watch what you wish for.

And no, protesting is definitely American, but the people and the ideas behind this protest are anti-American. I champion free speech and freedom of assembly. I don't have to champion a bunch of radicals wanting to overthrow our Republican form of govt.

Star and flagged. I don't think the occupy Wall Street protests will do us any good, but I have to hand it to them for at least getting off their butts and doing something about it.
As for McCain, he's just doing what he's told to do. Like 99.9% of the politicians out there.

That is a great point. Herman Cain is basically saying Martin Luther King Jr. should not have been a dreamer with a vision. Instead he should have sucked it up and become a banker or maybe an insurance salesman and lived his whole life to make money and be a sellout to society.
That's right everyone, just live for money, that's what Cain is saying America is all about. It's not about freedom it's about selling yourself out, selling everything out to follow the status quo and make yourself marketable.
Cain has really shown his ignorance here. Let's be honest. It's not like his Pizza chain brought manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. or did anything significant. It's actually quite funny when people who start a commercial business, especially a restaurant think they are doing the economy and the world a service. What our country needs is manufacturing jobs. So what if you start up a coffee shop, that does not help the economy it just gives people a way to waste their money in the morning.
I'm done with Cain. And I let his comments about Ron Paul supporters slide. But this is way too out there. For a Black man to disrespect the civil rights movement in such a way, he has no idea what America is about. Think about it.

Is anyone else noticing how no one will come out and say openly they want to destroy the principles the country was founded on....same people will not deny that is their goal though.....
They will not address the issues or the principles of any of our founding documents....They are silent on the issue of defending the Constitution
