(62,325 posts)two US Iraq Veterans. They came from different backgrounds, economically, politically and there was not a single person there who didn't understand the need to unite against the Corporate takeover of this country. No one was impolite, the crowd was organized, knowing full well what the 'law enforcement' contingency was capable of.
What is your point? There were hundreds of thousands of people marching in NYC against the Iraq War, half a million at least. They too were organized, polite, united, from many different backgrounds, politically, economically, ethnically.
I don't know you but from what I am reading here I don't agree with a singe thing you have to say. So the feeling is more than mutual.
The Corporate Wing of the Democratic party has contributed to the disastrous, historical inequality in this country today. There is no denying it anymore.
I don't give a tinker's curse what your opinion of me is. I'm not sure why you bothered telling me. I care about this country about the infiltration of the Democratic Party by Corporate funded individuals who have moved this country to the RIGHT leaving millions of Americans without jobs, without a future, voting against the Democratic Party Platform, and no matter what you say, it won't change the fact that Republicans have their own party. Since they began putting that 'D' behind their names, running on Corporate money and then voting for Corporate interests, the inequality has reached mammoth proportions.
As for your attempted slam regarding my 'political acuity' or whatever it was you said, I am NOT a professional political operative and never claimed to be nor do I want to be.
I am an ordinary person who shares the views of the MAJORITY of ordinary people and that's just fine with me. Political professionals have LOST TOUCH with the people of this country.
I don't know how professional you are politically, but you sure are not getting what the people of this country are getting.
So glad not to be impeded by 'professional' politics where 'brands' and 'tactics' are more important that facts facing actual people.
Thanks for the compliment, you could not have complimented me more.
OWS was merely a demonstration of the growing awareness of the people to the Corporate takeover of this country, that lasted way longer than was intended and spread far wider than planned, demonstrating the need to express the opposition of a majority of Americans to direction these Corporate Politicians on both have sides have taken it. Sorry seeing the people standing up for themselves at last, bothered you.
