Hello all,
I know this might not be popular but check out my site http://www.teaoccupyunited.com trying to bring both sides together to move the conversation forward!
If you have a blog or website please pass it along!
update: Check out this civil debate between an OWSer and Tea Party Member http://teaoccupyunited.com/part-1-video-ows-nyc-tea-party Part 1 of 4 coming ...
I love it!
Thank you Dutchess! (-: Figured this might lighten up the mood around here haha ...its pretty out of control in this forum and was hoping to bring some reasoning around here ... already, getting email of ideas even a mascot! stay tuned!
good start
Thanks Teacher! we have to start somewhere! the ideas we all want to push forward is getting drowned out by BOTH sides big guns! :(
Have you not read the forums here? Many of these people are blatant leftists that hate everything the TEA Party stands for. Even if they got corruption and money out of politics, many here would still not be satisfied if there is no social justice programs addressed. The far left funded, supported and created this movement and have tried hiding on the sidelines, but now the goals have become overt and actions such as those in Oakland will only speed the demise of OWS. Don't worry about opening a dialogue with those who have no desire to open a conversation.
Jay- I totally hear you on this ...there is extrem on both sides and this forum does tilt left ;-) but there are some people here who are moderate and support OWS both sides have MAJOR co-opts going on and the message we all have gets lost!
I am with you. I think there are many common issues that those leaning (not off the edge) left and right can come to agree upon, but the extremes have become increasingly adept at drowning out any voice of reason.
Honestly this is the sad part about this. Both sides are RIGHT yet we are all destroying ourselves by being polarized as we are. WE really do NEED to fix things! and its getting lost in all this he said / she said garbage ...it's really frustrating!
Beyond frustrating to the point that many people have simply given up hope.
