Photo from the 1912 Lawrence textile strike.

Wear US flag shirts, US flag pants, US flag bandanas, and US flag ski masks. Be the flag. Let the treasonous 1% f*ckers, who perpetrated 9/11 in order to transform the US into a police state and justify wars, have their lackeys attack the US flag.

That's a good idea. The imagery in the resulting photos will make it appear the police are attacking the US flag. I like it.

This photo embodies people who honored and respected American values at any cost/sacrifice as opposed to the anti-American stance we see in much of the OWS protest.

There's a very strong anti-American bias here. Walls Street is just the nail they're hanging it on.

Could not agree more...I have yet to see the American flag in these so-called American protests.

I've seen them... of course they are upside down.

[-] -1 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

That is PATENTLY false. The real anti-Americans here are the TROLLS who spew hatred and contempt on OWS and the American PEOPLE.

Blah blah blah....blah blab, blah. Did we hit nerve? Fool. Go back to your historical site and dream.....lol.

YES, Joyce, I confess : I HAVE A DREAM.... And it is a dream FOR US ALL, including you, me, the haves and the havenots, the 100%.

When all is said and done, we are all God's children, we are all ONE.

How are the protesters disrespecting American values???

[-] 1 points by Joyce (375) 13 years ago

Before I even attempt to respond to your loaded response replete with polemical pitfalls, I must first digress into agreeable observations. 1. OWS will cling to "founding father" ideology to legitimize current strategy (foregoing anachronistic reality ). 2. Funny how so many co-opted union first responders in Madison, Wisconsin and now, visa via OWS, they have become "boots on the ground for the one percent". Just another vantage point. 3. I regularly see soviet - spirited iconography but, it is regarded as "artistic perspective" ( I suppose the same regard the tea party would be given when a confederate flag is raised ....btw, I'm no tea party lover) 4. I have yet to see American flags flown proudly at an OWS event, hence, my reaction to this historical photo. 5. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but, everyone hates the fact that America interferes with world foreign policy, yet, this movement is grounded in a Canadian anti-capitalist front.........

The protesters American flag is Next to there tents . In the garbage destroyed by police. Probably in the trash can next to the bill of rights that the officers pooped on and threw away

You missed point 2.....I thought the unionized police were part of the gig or did the AFL-CIO feel that it did not meet their ends to include them?

[-] -1 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

OWS are the Great Patriots of the hour and one day Liberty Plaza will become a historical site.

Grandparents will take their grandkids out on the tour and tell them proudly : "This is where it all began...

This is where we decided to take back our country...

This is where America was reborn.

We kicked out our oppressors just as our forefathers had kicked out the British in 1776."

Are you serious? Such self-aggrandizement is sickening. Continue to find a sense of control when you never will. Who or what made you come to feel this way when you a child and/or teen?

[-] -1 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

"self-aggrandizement"? Not really... I am not in The Big Apple and therefore cannot be an OWS member. I am, however, a supporter.

BYE BYE, "Joyce"... happy trolling! LMAO

[-] 1 points by Joyce (375) 13 years ago

Always the same mantra of "troll". You must have some serious issues beyond this movement that make you feel that you have never been in control of anything......even your alleged convictions. How sad.

foregoing anachronistic reality

Of course.

I believe I said, over 17 hours ago :

"BYE BYE, "Joyce"... happy trolling! LMAO"

[-] 1 points by Joyce (375) 13 years ago

The only thing you have proved is that tax money toward community colleges is a wasted allocation - products of said institutions, such as yourself, prove this. Oh, by the way, piss-off!

[-] -1 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

Are you still babbling to yourself, "Joyce"?

Over 21 hours ago, I said : "BYE BYE, "Joyce"... happy trolling! LMAO"

[-] 0 points by Joyce (375) 13 years ago

Fool..........The real lmao is your suggestion that the plaza will become a "historical site." Holy shit, now that is more than worthy of a LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

[-] -1 points by MVSN (768) from Stockton, CA 13 years ago

Okay.WTF is this OP supposed to mean? Wear the flag? Good luck. Too many of your kind would rather wipe there ass with it.

[-] 1 points by jpbarbieux (137) from Palmetto Bay, FL 13 years ago

It is supposed to piss you off. revive the draft (still have my card) and send Your Kind off to fight for oil.
