    Too late... since the 1930's... Trillions have been wasted on good-for nothing lazy welfare bums.

    Hi Smoothy,

    Committing crimes should have legal consequences for anyone involved.

    As for certain section sections of the community contributing nothing to the general welfare. What do your suggest? Because they are indebted to just about everyone; corporations, governments, taxpayers, we should suspend their rights?

    Yes... as part of accepting welfare.. they should lose them until they get jobs and support themselves.

    That would be unconstitutional. You cannot take someone's rights because they are poor, indepted, or jobless. Or LAZY, and dirty, stupid or a slob.

    Gee and yet its constitutional to do this with Child Molestors that have served their sentences and Convicted Felons... yet lazy people are somehow immune.

    smoothy don't do a Marie Antionette, if you don't feed the masses they become revolting. I know you think they are revolting, but you allow them to keep guns, very disturbing

    They are a tiny minority... they will find the large majority is fed up with them very soon... we have far more guns than they do. They will lose.

    As moronic as they are... I think they grasp that much.

    Its also not an excuse... let the lazy starve. It will conserve resources for those who truly need them.

    Unconstitutional is just an opinion of the court in charge.
    We already restrict rights to religion ( anyone remember the Mormon wars from history, or when being part of the Church of England was an offense worthy of arrest during the revolution) Not to saw that today if my church wanted to actively support lets say Hermain Cain, we could lose our tax exempt status for doing so.

    Right to bear arms, it is already taken away in many cities or states

    Right to vote , that is of course controlled by the states and as noted felons have lost those rights.

    Other things like welfare and food stamps are not rights, they are government programs that can be changed at a moment notice.

    That's the way it should be, right?

    You want anyone to be able to run around with fully automatic assault rifles? There are some small countries in Africa that you would LOVE!

    Hello again:

    Do ANY of my right winged friends believe that putting down a popular movement with VIOLENCE ends it? If you do, and I think you do, the evidence that it doesn't ABOUNDS in the world...

    What I REALLY think you think, is that the OWS is different than all the others going on in the world... You think because OUR protestors live in nice houses, they CAN'T be as pissed?? Really?

    That's where I think you're making a big mistake.

    Hey, you're the one who said something about dirty people, I was just pointing out the health hazard the occupiers have become.

    Look, as I've pointed out many times they began with the goal of zeroing in on their "one demand". What is it? If they can't give me their "one demand" there's nothing to talk about.

    My question is why would a church interested in the 1st amendment accept the tax exempt status ? Doesn't that quid pro quo mean that it becomes a state established religion ? It you want free exercise then lose the dependency on the state largess.

    Yes and I've known that Madame Mimi is a fraud and an insider trading crook for a long time.
    As I've said ;the outrage should be focused on Washington . Nothing I've seen from this confused movement changes my opinion.

    They need leadership ;end these silly mass votes with handsignals.. Concentatrate on a focused doable goal ;and mobilize from where they can be effective... at the ballot box... just like they did in 2008 (yes this is the hopey changey Obama army out on the streets) .

    Gee... when CBS news... ground zero for Rathergate and Bush bashing by the left, shows recorded video of the Bowel Movement and the murders rapes and other crimes... you want me to ignore it because its not really happening?

    Are you trying to say they have had an awakening and sudenly became a Righty news source over night?
