These two groups are almost identical twins. Our president says they are very much alike. Mirror images of one another. I'm going to have to guess which is the best for our country. It is the old Sesame Seed game of "One of these is not like the other.". In fact, as I ponder and cogitate. I could use your help.

The president says they are the same. I am sure he is right!!!!!!!

After all, he's never wrong, that's always been Bush!







The Democrats have said that the Occupy Wall Street Party was their answer, and "just like" the Tea Party.

You decide.......

Yup, now I see the similarities……..
 
Would this be the same Tea Party that many Democrats referred to as fake, phony,astro turf run by special interest and big business? If this is the case and the movements are twins then I guess we know what that makes occupy.
 
I dont consider members from either as those that could be trusted to do much of anything but cry and complain. Both are interested in protecting nothing that pertains to what I deem important.

Then you consent to be taxed into poverty? (I don't know...you could be a filthy rich member of the ruling elite.) You are content with the direction we are headed? (I don't know...you could be a Marxist too.)

I believe it was the current admin, in the persons of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama that vilified the TEA PARTY protestors and praised the OCCUPY animals.

Liberalism is a mental disorder!
 
"Then you consent to be taxed into poverty?"

Taxed into poverty? My taxes went up this year. $100. I can go and make that up. Pays for my roads to be plowed. As far as the direction? Not real happy. But that doesnt encourage me to take up with either of these cowardly sides.
 
Both are trying to force their agendas on people like me. I'm too busy working part time. Obviously they arent. They have time to slough off.
 
I remember when the tea party used to share the belief that there was too much corporate influence in government, what happened? They love it now.
 
Here is a good comparison of the two movements...

American conservatism/tea party:

Conservatives have figured out their moral basis and you see it on Wall Street: It includes: The primacy of self-interest. Individual responsibility, but not social responsibility. Hierarchical authority based on wealth or other forms of power. A moral hierarchy of who is “deserving,” defined by success. And the highest principle is the primacy of this moral system itself, which goes beyond Wall Street and the economy to other arenas: family life, social life, religion, foreign policy, and especially government. Conservative “democracy” is seen as a system of governance and elections that fits this model.


Occupy Wall Street movement:

Democracy starts with citizens caring about one another and acting responsibly on that sense of care, taking responsibility both for oneself and for one’s family, community, country, people in general, and the planet. The role of government is to protect and empower all citizens equally via The Public: public infrastructure, laws and enforcement, health, education, scientific research, protection, public lands, transportation, resources, art and culture, trade policies, safety nets, and on and on. Nobody makes it one their own. If you got wealthy, you depended on The Public, and you have a responsibility to contribute significantly to The Public so that others can benefit in the future. Moreover, the wealthy depend on those who work, and who deserve a fair return for their contribution to our national life. Corporations exist to make life better for most people. Their reason for existing is as public as it is private.

"Privilege is here, and with privilege goes responsibility. There is inherited wealth in this country and also inherited poverty. And unless the graduates of this college and other colleges like it who are given a running start in life--unless they are willing to put back into our society, those talents, the broad sympathy, the understanding, the compassion--unless they are willing to put those qualities back into the service of the Great Republic, then obviously the presuppositions upon which our democracy are based are bound to be fallible."

Have any of your presumptions been right yet??? No. At least you are consistent.

Your view is a bit tainted, though you touch on the truth.

On my route, there's a house with a professionally-printed "We are the 99%" sign in the front yard.

This house is at least a hundred years old, on the lake, half a block from a marina and across the street from a Fedgov-owned and maintained park with beautiful picnic spots and a beach. Home prices on that street run around $300K.

99% my ass. :eusa_boohoo:

You're too busy working part time? I work full time and still make time for important issues concerning the nation and my community.

You clear have time to hang out here too.

Priceless. Just priceless.:D

I've had the benefit in my lifetime of people who really like being rich. I love it. And I've loved every minute of loving it. And I've been rich and yes I love it. Beats the crap out of being poor. And yes I've been poor.

Give me rich every time.

Maybe some times we should brag on. Is it really bragging? I was really praying on this the other day. Maybe it's not bragging but by telling others what you do might inspire others to do greater.

I really wrestle with this. I raise a lot of cold hard cash for several outlets, but I also do drives for clothing for those that land in the prairies from a tropical climate.:D Hell's bells I thought I had a shock coming from Toronto to Winnipeg south. Trust me. I feel for anyone coming from any island in the Pacific.
