My friend who is a libertarian is very actively involved in the local Occupy movement. He goes downtown everyday to try and set appointments up with the local politicians.

The problem is he is getting the run around and eventually is told it can take 8 to 12 months just to get a meeting with the advisors of these politicians. As a result, he looks to try and set up a once a month local assembly where the average joe can speak their mind. An open forum so to speak. This is what the founding fathers had in mind when an average joe wanted to speak. Realizing face to face interchange was hard to come by they would have these open assemblies.

Well little to my suprise the city is not being any help. He went into it knowing that many big city politicians were crooked...he just did not realize how deep in ran.
(on a side note....2 local smaller cities that are run by republicans have these assemblies set up on a monthly basis....but the big bad city wont do it...wonder why)

The good thing is that most of the people he is working with are liberals and they are coming to the quick realization that the left is just as twisted and crooked as the right. He is going to try to start a non profit movement to get some shit done.

These big cities are historically run by liberals across the USA so its no suprise to me the level of evil that exists in them.....i know many OT conservatives have admitted that the republicans are crooked and not to be trusted but i rarely here this from OT libs and i think its time they step up to the plate.

Its good to see that the libs, conservatives and libertarians active in this local occuply movement realize that both parties are the problem and both need to go or at least change 180 degrees.

I mean the Tea party is against politicians and the occupy movement is against corporations....these two need to put aside their differences and combine because we all know that the corporations and politicians are two peas in a pod, they are one of the same...they both feed each other to stay in power.

Teaoccupy Party? One time

yes..thats what my friend says...he is active everyday and most of them are just peeps looking for a party..alot of bums, unemployed and die hard libs.

he says that most just bitch and do nothing else..at least the tea party had some organization.

I told him that he needs to start getting donations somehow cause in order for your non profit group to exist you will need money.

I believe he is referring to Boston Police as in the singular department which would make "is" correct.

So it's the 1% the 96% and the 3%

Cool.

Free food, groping, and no snitching? I gotta get my ass to the n.....y......ceeee cuz baby it's a paaaaaaaar-----tee.

Understands the diff between retailers and investment banks.

I would think occupy Miami would be ramping up as the snow comes. They have to have more than 30 tents worth of unhappy homeless folks looking for a commune.

Curious, where does occupy DC hang out? The Mall in dc is certainly their place to occupy if they want it but come spring softball league time you better gtfo of the way or youre gonna get a bat to the head.

This upsets me.

In before Kellykip rant about Caleb

Yep, read this one yesterday morning in the Post - first of all, just lol at these artisanal emaciated bearded lumberjacks and their gourmet revolution. let's see, use NYC as an urban playground backdrop, bring in attention starved & bored children of privilege from Dogfelcher Falls to protest injustice that they will always be arm's length safe from, brag that you are for the 99%, and then throw an organic fit when Caleb, Maximillian, and Harrison have to enounter...wait for it.....wait for it..... actual homeless people in an NYC park!!!!! ZOMG, I thought they were only shipped in to use as props on Law & Order!!!

Better be the 99%, but better not be the wrong 'kind' of 99%.

There are a lot of protesters being arrested here in Austin down by the courthouse. They set strict guidelines on curfew to get away with it.

Oakland's police union has estimated that last week's sweep of the Occupy Oakland encampment - which re-established itself within days - cost taxpayers more than $1 million.
