It seems that your keepers want something to grow out of this occupy fertilizer but aren't willing to make any commitment to its definition. Look at the menu bar at the top of the page. Where is the "about us" button or the FAQ button?
This "organization" seems to be defined by each individual's ideals and desires...much like "Hope and Change" was for our marxist president obama's last election.
You draw press but look like complete morons when interviewed. keep up the good work! Current poll Obama 41% vs Any Republican 47%
I believe the first shots fired at Concord were before the signing of the Declaration of Independence
If your house is on fire you don't call Fire Inc., you call the Fire Dept. ... that's socialism.
If your car is stolen you don't call a private investigator, you call the Police Dept. ... that's also socialism.
The dude from Adventures in Babysitting hurt his toe in a gang fight. He went to the ER ... socialism. This is assuming his parents didn't have health insurance, but the safety net is there.
If you want a rifle to hunt with ... go to walmart. That's capitalism.
You are most certainly a product of public schools. research the difference betweem socialism and a Contstitutional republic and you'll know what I'm saying.
Assuming that you are not a product of the public school system and have had the fortune of attending a private institution, I would think that would make you ahead of the game and more aware of what the bottom half of this country is facing. I'm registered Republican and am neither proud nor embarrassed to admit so. I have yet to see either a Democrat or Republican actually address and implement a plan that has any resolve to the current economic dilapidation. Don't get me wrong: I feel many American's put themselves in the position they're in. Going to schools they can't afford, borrowing for mortgages that will never be paid, living outside the means of a paycheck. Bad decisions and more have caused their financial ruin. But honestly, we all know that there are millions of intelligent, hard-working, eager, motivated, and relentless people that just CAN NOT find work. To generalise a movement of individuals that are fed up and just want their voices to be heard (and frankly, how else to you propose for the resource-less to have a voice without protest?) as socialist, pointless, and idealistic a tad ignorant. If anything it's a start, and I applaud their efforts. It takes courage to stand up for a cause termed as hopeless. But it's not hopeless...not if the ground remains stood upon. I don't think the protesters of OWS are looking for a hand out, or even to unfairly spread the wealth of the country. I think they're just fighting for the ability to survive on the fruits of their own labor.
I have a public school education. I graduated from a big-ten university while both working and taking classes full time - graduating with a 3.5 GPA. Never took out extra loans. Never had a credit card until I obtained gainful employment and have ALWAYS lived within my means. But all this was done while supporting myself. Unemployed and underemployed citizens with dependants and greater financial responsibility can't manage on the simplistic life style that works for me. If I found out I was pregnant tomorrow...BIG TIME game changer.
With your private school education, your knowledge of American History must be well versed and superior, so a brief history lesson on the founding of our nation shouldn't be necessary. But do your best to juxtapose the two efforts and see what a nation of pee-ons can do when not at rest. That is patriotism in action...as it was created to be.
The blessing of a private school education is an amazing opportunity. The value of this type of education - incomparable...something I hope to provide for my own children when the time comes. But one thing a private school can't teach...humanity. That will be up to me to pass on - and pray my children will pass it on to theirs...the truest test of success.
Those programs are socialism within a capitalistic country.
By the way, the definitions of political ideas are fluid ... some bleed into each other. Everything isn't black and white.
A democracy is not 'black and white' because of mob (majority/special interest/the loudest) rule.
Our constitutional republic IS black and white - where 99% cannot lawfully take away the rights/property of 1%, nor can 1% lawfully take away the rights/property of 99%
Those "services" mentioned (fire dept, police, etc) are there to SERVE us WHEN we choose for them to Serve us.
There is a difference between calling the fire dept cuz your house is on fire, and being forced to voluntarily participate (pay into with no guarantee of any sort of return) in Social Security/Medicaid (both of which are a govt insurance program).
You're fighting with forces rooted in such a way that you will not win against that 1%.
I am just tired of lobbyists in DC and the Fed in Wall Street. And I do believe that those individuals that received assistance from the government because of their bad business practices should be owned by the government for return of payment or should return the funds (their government sponsored bonuses).
The Cult of Moral Grayness.
Some thing are black and white.
Free or not. Dead or alive. etc.
A) The "About Us" button is also known as the "About" button, Sherlock.
B) Just because you don't understand a flat, horizontal egalitarian structure, doesn't mean that it's not valid:
Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants. (Source: Home Page)
C) I don't think this guy looked like a moron when he ate this Faux News reporters lunch in no uncertain terms: http://youtu.be/6yrT-0Xbrn4
D) Latest Congressional poll (driven mostly by intransigent, Eric "let's make students pay interest on loans now" Cantor followers) in the House: 82% disapprove vs. 13% approve. (source: http://tinyurl.com/3oqapw)
Anyway, thanks for the feedback and best of luck finding navigation tools on the Interwebs in the future! :D

:) I like this very much, groobie.
Your reply = illogic
How so? Because you said so? I addressed each of your points. You...addressed none of mine. Zero. Not much of a discussion, eh? Pretty one-sided, but then, that's generally much what I get when I try to engage the right, I'm sorry to say...
are you suggesting this movement's goal is obama to be reelected or are you merely talking about yourself bro?
I beleive so. Look at the posts. more importantly, look at the rabble/s huddled together with no other motivator than pure emotion and no real idea of how to build a free society other than defaulting to socialist ideals.
That's not true--although, personally, I wish the main goal was much more socialist, but to their credit, the leaders of this group (and yes, there are leaders, in spite of what's posted here), have been painstaking in not excluding anyone, including Tea Party libertarians. So, your epithets and ad hominem attacks are not only unfair, they're incorrect.
I suggest that you educate yourself on what's happening, rather than assume you know what's happening and cast aspersions on people as "rabble" who have nothing better to do. Did you say the same thing about the Tea Party? What this group has done is prove that the right doesn't have a strangle hold on righteous indignation.
Peace,
