It is often said that Americans in the context of the Globe have a particular place in the line of Arrogant Hedonists of the past... In some ways I would agree, I think we have become a sluggish nation, one that isn't bold in our pursuits in Liberty and Justice.
I feel that we all share the same sense of Liberty, and the purest Liberty to speak out against a Government that has ignominiously degraded and eroded the insights and fundamental Genius of our Founding Fathers. The Public Destruction of Intellectualism would be a shame for our Founders to see, and HAS BEEN disgraceful to the pursuit of purer Reason.
This being said, what DO we believe in? The use of Interventionism and having a role as a Nation Builder. We believe that the tyranny of draconian law is as evil and the tyranny of men. That Reason, Fairness, Justice, Freedom are more than JUST words to be tossed around and be desensitized by the Bullys of Washington! That these things aren't some intangible esoteric and dated concepts! That these are the Bars by which the legitimacy of any government must be measured! That war, inflation, borrowing, fiat money, ALWAYS destroy personal liberty and provides the keys for the insidious overreach of a government!
So, what do we do?
We are all asking, who shall lead, I would always step up if I could, but for now... I would defer you all! to remember the lessons of our Constitution, Reason, and Our Founders!
I would personally suggest this gentlemen...
"We are all asking, who shall lead, I would always step up if I could, but for now... "
ROFLMAO. Who's asking for leadership? It's a leaderless movement and content to remain so. You can 'step up' if you want; no one is going to follow you.
Read how OWS is being coopted by Wall St. It is being funded by the very elite that it rails against. Read more at Patriots for Change.

Pretentious.
what is
This post.
hows that
It's written with a lofty air of self important grandiosity, with gratuitous Capitalizations; the closing ("I would personally suggest this gentlemen") is particularly obnoxious and blatantly sexist (why do you assume a male audience?). It's like you imagine you've written something Jefferson-Esque here, when in fact it's a largely incoherent rant.
This is quite stupid...
This pretty much explains my bit about how people think that Liberty, Freedom, and speaking in what you consider the "Lofty" language of Our Founder, are somehow some sad attempt to play some kind of Marat.
By the way... What do you think of OWS?
