Some very good points here.

Nancy Pelosi thinks these protests are like the Tea Party protests. She couldnt be more wrong. The Tea Parties are filled with people who have jobs and pay taxes. They want government to stop wasting taxpayer dollars and be fiscally responsible. They are against all bailouts. The Occupy Wall Street protests are filled with leftist malcontents and rabble rousers. Since the government is bailing out banks and big corporations, they say its only fair they be bailed out too. They want more money to be stolen from those that earn it, to be redistributed to themselves. They are screaming for their own personal bailout. Big difference, wouldnt you say?
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse The Body Ventura compares the Occupy Wall Street crowd with the so-called Arab Spring. He thinks great things came from the protests sweeping the Arab world, and therefore great things will come from the protests here. Unfortunately, the Arab Spring is becoming a disaster for fair-minded, moderate, and decent citizens of these Arab countries and for humanity. The Arab Springs mass protests are leading to radical Islamic and terrorist groups taking control of the region. These groups are dedicated to the destruction of Israel, enslaving women, religious intolerance, murder of Christians, and hatred of America.
Then theres Herman Cain and other conservative Republican Presidential candidates. They see only the leftist influence of the Occupy Wall Street crowd. They see jobless bums who want to live on the dole. They see Obama, George Soros, unions, and communist organizers egging on the protestors. This is all true. But what conservatives are missing is that the protestors have a few good points. The U.S. political system is corrupt. Big corporations, lobbyists, and lawyers are taking advantage of the taxpayers. The bailout of banks and Wall Street was a massive mistake. Billions handed out by government to Obama contributors under the guise of "green energy" is a looting of the taxpayers.
Ive spent my life defending capitalism. But the system we have now isnt capitalism. Its Crony Capitalism. The banks, Wall Street, and big corporations have joined forces with politicians of both sides to fleece the American taxpayer. The billion dollar public companies in America arent conservative or liberal. They are just out for themselves. And the rest of us be damned.
