Parks and Demonstration

[mahnmut]

America cannot expect a bunch of disenfranchised park-dwellers to come up with a solution to its economic woes -- they have a political ruling class to do that.

Sooo... when the Tea Party took to the streets to "take their country back" from the evil politicians, that was an expression of their democratic right to protest, something inherently American. Right?

...But when the Occupy Wall Str rallies took to the streets to "take their country back" from the evil banks and corporations, that's suddenly the first step to some socialist fascist Nazi totalitarianism, because they're unAmerican haters of freedom. Right???

I see. Welcome to Bizarroland.

The quote is from the video segment that you'll watch if you click on the screenshot of Jon Stewart. ;-)

Stewart being sarcastic is self-understood, I think.

the photo as a tv clip didn't work for me, probably a browser glitch....
and as I wrote, Occupy Wall St will end up with its own cable network to neutralize it, and there will be one more alternative to football for you.
