You know that criticizing people for using their right to free speech is unpatriotic and unamerican, right?
Even communists have the right to protest.

It is. What is your point?

I have no problem with the signs you posted.
Un-American

Un-American is a pejorative term of US political discourse which is applied to people or institutions in the United States seen as deviating from US norms.

Any protest of the way the country is running is Un-American. Are you saying we should just accept the way things are and like it because that is our patriotic duty?

The point here is i don't go around calling people un American for disagreeing with their beliefs but seem's that far too many people on here do just that.

The point is it is Ridculous.

Read the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence you just might learn something.

Nope, I still don't understand what you're trying to say. Is it your style, or are you confined to broken sentences with no discernible connections? I'm guessing that it's your style, designed to portray a personality you want us to think you have. Could you please be clearer just for a post or two?

Massachusetts Senate candidate, activist, and former Obama adviser Elizabeth Warren is now taking credit for the Occupy Wall Street movement, according to The Daily Beast.

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “I support what they do.”

Daily Beast writer Samuel P. Jacobs explains: “Warren’s boast isn’t bluster: As a professor of commercial law at Harvard and the force behind Obama’s consumer-protection bureau, Warren has been one of the most articulate voices challenging the excesses of Wall Street.”

Most Blaze readers are probably familiar with Warren as the Harvard professor who famously claimed that “there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.”

Hey guys, it's not your fault. You can finally blame it on the Obama administration.

She sounds like Al Gore and the internet.

I invented revolution....

Update on this guy.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The clash between Oakland police and Occupy Wall Street protesters left a Marine veteran who completed two Iraq tours in critical condition Wednesday after he was struck by a police projectile, a veterans' group said.

Scott Olsen, 24, suffered a fractured skull Tuesday as he marched with other protesters toward City Hall, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. The demonstrators had been making an attempt to re-establish a presence in the area of a disbanded protesters' camp when they were met by police officers in riot gear.

I hope this pisses of a lot of vets seeing one of thier own done this way by the police. And then when people come to his aid the police throw more gernades at them. I hope the city gos broke paying the law suit.

Welcome to the new war on protestors.

Well.. obviously that site has given it's own interpretation to a lot of the images.
I highly doubt there is actual segregation and it is more likely satirical.
Also, who is to say that guy isn't smoking marijuana legally for a medical condition. That would explain why he doesn't care to do it openly. Not a big deal.

Communists have been around a long time and will try to attach themselves to any place they think they can collect followers.. sorry communists, it isn't going to happen with this movement.

What is the problem with the Muslim girl? Can she not express her ideas via her faith?

It's really not that bad. The bike generator was clever.

Most importantly it looked the furthest thing from violent which is important considering how they were assaulted like precinct 13.

I support the movement.
I support a revolution.
The only problem I have are some of the idiots that attach themselves to it. Socialists, communists, and just plain idiots, unfortunately that's a reflection of all of America. All groups.

They are hating on capitalism and it's not hard to understand why, but they need to understand that the problems we are facing now aren't really problems with capitalism. They are problems with a perversion of capitalism. What we have not is not really capitalism, its not how its supposed to be.

Even if some of the people are Hippies there, atleast they are there and showing the world the problem. I'm not saying some of the extreme views are present but so is the NWO (rothchilds) bankers get there way for too long. They are the real evil that plaques our world. I bet if they were gone the world would be 10 times better off. Actually i even laughed when i got my new copy of Battlefield 3 yesterday and OH I was surprised the first enemy in campaign mode was the Libyan army how ironic lets convince the youngsters that it was justified to take our Kadafi. #en hell how typical the Illuminati pricks are everywhere.

I CANT WAIT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WAKES UP

It was said that the people had no theme of what to protest about, but THEY were wrong. All the different signs and sayings are about Corruption in America. The GREED of corporate america. The ELITE few who control america and do bad things. WE, THE PEOPLE, do have a theme. A theme to rock the world. I call it, THE CLEANSING. To clean up the mess the ELITE put us in and STERILIZE the area of all scum. After all, this is what they want to do to U thru a massive population decrease, just like the guide stones say they will do. The propaganda machine is among the protesters. They are the ones in front of the camera's, they are paid shills to act and do stupid things to make the protest a failure. Now they make violence at protests and try to get peoples to do what they want in front of camera's. Time to take out the TRASH.

Having lived in Oakland for a long time, I'll go ahead and say that it's always as bad as they say there, no matter what it's in relation to.

Wouldn't live there again.

But this kind of stuff is pretty prevalent there- Huey Newton's politics left a long shadow.
