You're right God Save this country but from the people that allow this to occur. Like the piece of crap in the following story, it's time to grow up and stop the f'n whining. Want a job? Look in the want ads. Don't want to work? Starve. It may have saved this guy's woman.

Give credit where it's due:

In Jan 2005 the National Alliance to End Homelessness reported 744,313 and as of 2009 that number had decreased to 656,129 of which 61% were sheltered (403,308).

We shelter, feed, heat and support far more than that, including people here illegally, including extended members of the President's family. Instead of demanding more give praise to all we aready do. We are and always have been the most generous nation on earth, period! So again stop your whining!

Yes, in your imagination.

Hey, "couple hundred" in Chicago, or a couple thousand, all the same in Dell's mind

Like those that want all the societal benefits of living in America, especially the freedom to complain about groups they don't like, but don't want to contribute a damn thing to the country?

There are no homeless, no unemployed, no uninsured: and if they are, it's entirely their own damn fault. Right Dell?

Evening news right now in Lexington Ch 27: a story about 1 in 5 people currently living in poverty in Lexington, KY, the amount of heating assistance available to the poor this winter has been decreased by over a million dollars, severe worry about increased deaths from hypothermia this winter because of all the poor people that will have to be kicked off heating assistance this winter.

But it's all their fault, and the churches will help them. "We" don't have to worry about those lazy folk.

Here's a new "Occupy" site for aggregating all news.

http://occupyitnews.org

OWS has over $400,000 in their bank account now, from donations. They purchase food daily, provide free medical care, and computer services, sleeping bags & blankets, and have websites. They hold daily general meetings. Have multiple committees working on items of interest to them. Also have downtown storage locker filled with donations.

Night before last, Occupy New York had to defend their medical tent (free health care for all Occupy residents in NY) in the middle of the night, from the police who showed up to try and take it down without warning.

Guess who happened to be there and stand in the way of the cops, joining arms with the protesters? (btw the cops went away and left the tent for now)

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1...via=siderecent

Looks like Geraldo Rivera (twice) and Jon Stossel (once), both of GOP-TV Faux News, tried to go to Occupy Wall Street to interview protesters, but all three times they were hounded from the premises with chants of "Fox Lies!". Video all over the internet.

It's amazing how the mainstream media is completely not covering this story, but how much news is going on at Occupy locations nationwide (hundreds of locations) and internationally, that is being covered on YouTube, blogs, Twitter, Facebook,
etc.

And one of the coolest things was Saturday night in New York, in Times Square, that made the national news: a US Marine standing off against 25 riot police, talking them down for advancing upon peaceful protesters. The cops backed down (the cops had rammed motorcycles over barriers into crowds on the sidewalk, and pushed several horses into the crowd hurting peaceful demonstrators)

Who opened a bank account? Seems counter-intuitive to the cause really. The "protestors" here are now negotiating with local officials for locations where they can be protected from the elements etc. This thing is beginning to trade in the street cred (what little it had) for some comfort.
A bank account? Seriously. While protesting banking.

Love it.

They are not "protesting banking". They are not against bank accounts - that's ridiculous.

They have a bank account (at a credit union, actually, not a bank), they have an independent 501C administering it, they have unions that have donated free office space to them.

They have a New York City public approval rating of over 60%, a national rate over 55% (including 2/3 of Republicans).

And, a NYC (correction, not mayor, Governor) that just admitted today he's going against what they demonstrated against Saturday, what 65% of his public think about the NY millionaires tax, and he is going ahead with rescinding it against what his city and state thinks and wants him to do with it (keep it in place)

Occupy Wall Street is gonna be around for a long time with responses to public demonstrations like that. When the people you elect say they won't do what you want them to .... ?

Wall St. is the home of the banking industry though. And while protesting banking is broad brush, it is certainly not false.
Office space and ready cash will lead to leaders emerging from the group, once this happens they will separate themselves from the rest and start their own little version of the big pyramid that is representative of the country and eventually it will fall apart.

Yes, it's entirely false. They are not protesting banking at all. You clearly haven't been paying any attention at all to this protest.

Only if they think like you do.
