Some observations...

1) It is a mistake to imagine that these unwashed, communist youth will vanish when the protest is over. They will remember this event for the rest of their lives. They will vote. Teach. Be elected to government, etc..

2) The fact that it has gone on as long as it has is reason for concern.

3) This is as much a failure of Conservatism as anything. Republicans have failed to take the bull by the horns and fix our education system.. This has gone on for so long, we now have generation upon generation we are attempting to re-educate before they enter the voting booth.. By permitting this to continue, we are attempting to re-train the youth in a few short years, and undo all the brain washing they have endured from the moment they entered the educational system, till the moment they leave it as adults. This has been left to fester so long that Rasmussen had a poll recently showing that, among the youth, a third thought capitalism was the best system, a third socialism.. and a third weren't sure. This bodes terribly for our future, and it must be corrected.

4) And this is important.. The unfolding failure is primarily political.. The protesters don't know what they want, they just know they are angry. They have no workable plan to resolve their grievances... Frankly, I doubt many of them can even tell you why they are so pissed at Wall Street if you asked them.. But I can.

I believe strongly that this discontent stems from the TARP bailouts.. And it's not so much the bailouts themselves, as the bi-partisan stampede to assist the banks while the rest of the economy burns to the ground. In that moment it became obvious who our government serves and who it works hardest for. There was no partisan bickering. There was just an immediate surge of support for Wall Street.. to give them whatever they needed, and to do it right now. And that is why they're so angry at the Street itself. And I can't honestly say that I entirely blame them for feeling that way. It's exactly how I felt watching bailout mania take place.

Well, just the race to save them.. at any cost, and right fucking now.

Meanwhile, they behave as though the rest of the country can just go piss up a rope.. I mean lookit, we're seriously discussing how we MIGHT get some real help by january of 20fucking13?

I think the feeling is: Where's DC when we need them?

HOLD ON kids

Wasn't it the RIGHT who was screaming "The banks got bailed out and we got left out" as recently as a few months ago ????

[Alkanyadela]

WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE OF DC'S LOOTING

I don't recall the slogan, but.. generally speaking, few on the right wanted the bailouts.

I know I didn't.

So you are in aggreement with the protestors ...right ?

[immoceefe]

...is a misdirection from the real source of the problem, The FED, SEC, and Goldman-Sachs.
And especially the Congress who facilitates the whole horrid mess.

[Solo3uc4]

So you are in aggreement with the protestors ...right ?

No.. I didn't like the bailouts, but their prescriptions are unacceptable to me.

I agree with their anger to some extent... I also think it's a bit misdirected.

If they're mad at Wall Street, then they should be FURIOUS with their government.

I think they are angry at both...I also think this ios a sign of a generational shift of the working class from the right to the left, which as these people grow up, will shift to the center...but I could be wrong

[Indian Butt Magic]

Kids are leftist.. They shift right as they grow older and actually have responsibility thrust upon them.

But they aren't angry for the right reason.. They don't have a plan to address their grievances.

It's just commie gobbledy-gook.

[Katrinsitter]

If they want to fix DC and take the influence of money out of the picture.. Then they're going to have to curtail DC's power.

They are going to have to take it away, break it up and send it back to the states..

Nothing else will work.

For NOW...that is what the boomers did.....these kids however, are mad at EVERYONE...so they may grow up with a healthy distrust of BOTH extremes

[Eromereorybig]

The progressives were in favor of the Bankster Bailout.
I remember a poll at the time showed over 70% were against the bailout.
Now who could that under 30% be?

You have to uderstand......the politcal spectum is not a straight line..it s a horse shoe
