Wall Street protest

After all, "All politics are local", and "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun".

As the late Al Capone once said, "You can get farther with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word." True then, truer now.

What worries me the most about this whole thing is this:
Most of these "protests" are being led by a bunch of older, radicalized, people that truly believe that communism is the way to go (even if most of them would probably deny that they are advocating communism)  The rest are the lemmings that don't know ant better.

If it does get violent, we'd be defending the very people that caused all of this crap, although we'd be defending the Constitution, not the people.  We've been trying to find a way to fix it from the inside instead of actively trying to overthrow it.  These knuckleheads are actually looking to make it all go away. 
The news here (DC) had a piece on the one here getting thier permit extended and a handful of the people had "Capitalism is dead" buttons/shirts.  Then there is this I saw on Fox News yesterday:

-snip-
Another demonstrator spoke out to say that while he respects Lewis' contribution to society, the protesters were trying to start "a democratic process in which no singular human being is inherently more valuable than any other human being."
...
But it was not to be. Another person shouted: "John Lewis is not better than anyone! Democracy won!"

The leader closed by restating the rules. "This group makes its decisions by consensus. We do not have a consensus," he said.

It made my skin crawl.

This will end the same here as it has in many foreign countries in the past. Through extreme violence. There simply is no other way. Liberals hate guns, while conservatives love them. Want to bet on the winner?

Funny thing, they are protesting wall street, but the people that work there are not the ones causing the problems they are railing against. I have investments, and I play the market. So what? Does that make me an evil person who is oppressing someone else? It simply means that I am taking risk in order to better my life. The people on wall street are doing the same thing. I don't have the resources to manipulate the market. Government and people like George Soros do. But these clowns are too narrow minded to see that.

No matter how you look at this it is all based on the haves vs. the have nots. Always has been, and always will be. The first thing the have nots do is blame the haves for their shortcomings. They cannot achieve financial success on their own. So instead of admitting it is they who are coming up short, they blame someone else. In this case it is always the haves, who they believe have "stolen" their slice of the pie.

No one has "stolen" a thing from them. They are worthless, lazy and stupid. Not everyone succeeds in a capitalistic society, which is why they hate it, and want it done away with. If you're a dumb ass in school, the first thing you want is a teacher who "grades on a curve", because it will make you look smarter than you really are. These people are the same. They just want the financial playing field to be more "on a curve" so they'll have more than they deserve. Just like the dumb kid in class who doesn't look so dumb after the curve has been applied to his grade. The problem is in order to accomplish this you have to knock the really smart kid down several pegs in order to falsely elevate the dumb ass.

These people are totally pathetic. They have no self pride, and or work ethic. All they can do is bitch and moan for someone else to give them something. This is what liberalism teaches. Laziness that comes from the fact they believe you shouldn't be punished for being stupid and non productive. It never works and never will. They prove their total stupidity by continually trying to make a bad idea good. All they do is define insanity in the process.
