Progressives, communists, socialists, foreign operatives, unions, wealthy tyrants (Soros comes to mind) and young idiots are behind this.  The guys on the streets don't have a clue...they can't see they are tools.  The lazy guys get a hot meal and then spout some outrageous BS to impress the pretty girls in hopes of getting laid.  Always we must look beyond the young idiots.

I don't think there is a single testicle behind all of those guys sleeping on the streets and occupying whatever.  The 60's anti-war movement was one big glorious party.  Instead of really "spanking" unruly children they were handled with kid gloves.

Then all of a sudden it wasn't fun anymore.  Ralphi found out you had to be careful or "You'll shoot your eye out."  It was May 1970 and Kent State.  After Kent State the anti-war movement was not so much fun anymore....it got real and the young idiots drifted away from the progressives, communists, socialists and foreign operatives because...hey, you could get your ass killed doing this.  When it got real most of them slinked off.  

Well, we have the same thing today with the "occupiers".  A few puppet masters and a lot of willing young idiots.  If it get's real they won't hang....like I said...if you've got 100 guys on the street I doubt there is 1/2 of a pair of balls really willing to stand up to "what they think they believe" when the "fun factor" goes away.

I'm all for 18 year olds being able to vote...if they are in the military.  Beyond military service inclusion, 21 should be minimum voting age.  Why the conservatives kneeled to a blanket 18 year old vote I'll never know....just stupid back then I guess.



They did it because the Draft was still in effect and that was a blanket "18".
The primary argument was "if your old enough to get killed in Vn. you should be old enough to vote and buy beer".
No one considered that just because you are mature enough to follow orders in a deadly situation, does not mean you are mature enough to make important decisions on your own.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of Americans led by the Rev. Al Sharpton rallied Saturday against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, calling for easier job access and decrying the gulf between rich and poor before marching to the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.

The rally was intended to drum up support for President Barack Obama's jobs plan, which died Tuesday in the U.S. Senate. But speakers used the platform for varied causes, including condemning state laws requiring voter identification at the polls and protesting the recent execution of Troy Davis, a Georgia man convicted of killing an off-duty police officer. Davis maintained his innocence until his death and attracted thousands of supporters worldwide even though courts repeatedly ruled there wasn't enough evidence to exonerate him.

Chanting for jobs and justice, many demonstrators carried banners for their labor unions and wore pins or T-shirts bearing King's likeness. Obama is scheduled to speak Sunday at the dedication ceremony for the memorial, the first monument dedicated to a black leader on the National Mall.

Sharpton, the featured speaker at the March on Washington for Jobs and Justice, blasted the Senate for its failure to pass Obama's $450 billion jobs bill. The measure includes an extension of a payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits, as well as money to help local governments keep teachers and other workers on the job. Obama and Senate Democratic leaders plan to try to pass elements of the measure by breaking it into pieces.

"If you can't get the jobs bill done in the suites, then we will get the jobs bill done in the streets," Sharpton said to cheers and applause.

He told the crowd that King would have supported their cause "because he stood for those who were cast down and cast back." King's eldest son, Martin Luther King III, was also among the speakers.

"Over 45 years ago, my father talked about a redistribution of wealth. In fact, that is probably why he was killed," King said. "Because he said if America is going to survive responsibly, then it must have a redistribution of wealth."

Kathie Williams, a part-time administrator for the Howard County, Md., parks and recreation department. She'd like to find full-time work but has struggled to do so despite an active search.

"No one has responded to me," Williams said.

Belinda Shade, 56, of Waldorf, Md., works as a special education school administrator but said the economy still makes her insecure.

"Right now I have a job, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow," Shade said, later adding, "There are no jobs. People are really hurting. Everything is coming apart as a result."

District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray held a separate protest supporting greater autonomy for the district government — Congress must approve the local government's budget — and joined in the larger gathering. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers were among the other speakers.

Nonetheless, Sharpton said the rally was not intended as an overtly political statement or as part of the president's re-election bid.

"This is not about Obama," he said. "This is about my mama."

The answer is simple enough, send Rev. Al and the rest of these assholes to Mexico and China, just like they sent the jobs there.
