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.

All I know is that the local news channels piss me off when they report stupid shit, like an increase in thumb/finger blisters amongst the crowd due to bongo playing. those types reports completely take away from the reason for their localizing u know :(
