Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fox news labels The tea party as heroes for using their constitutional right to protest, and Occupy wall street as rowdy, unlawful rich bum idiots for doing the same. Says The tea party's unemployed are giving up their livelihoods for America but those in OWS are unemployed lazy bums. I paint both with a different brush, Tea party-ers want what they want, which is the correct version of republican representiveness, and OWS want the rich held accountable for bankrupting the nation and poisoning the world by buying out regulations, AND for them to pay the fair share they owe.

I know, it's Libertarian. But Ron Paul running as a republican shows how interwoven the two are, even if Libertarians are more liberal in most areas than republicans would ever think of, which is rather sad that they support them so much.

Though I do like Ron Paul's comment. Least I think it was Ron Paul.. something about how our politicians are deepening a divide instead of working and counterbalancing each other like they're supposed to.

And I don't watch MSNBC much anymore. They fire both Cenk and Olberman, who were their only real liberals. The network is defending the rich just like Fox, and why not, they are corporate owned too.

I watch TYT and Current TV.


I want to know your thoughts on what the successfulness of a socialist economy in America would be like, and not the crazy vision of socialism from the right wing that is apparently "of satan", actual Norweigan/British style Socialism. The type that works.


EDIT - That first link I had to stop reading, he talks about economic growth and regulations, but doesn't see where de-regulation has gotten us.

And there was a bit of infiltration done by the right already, some people tried to escalate it all into a riot but the actual protesters didn't follow them.


And the Anonymous collective backing OWS is a massive boon to them. The world has already been shown the outright insane capabilities of Anonymous when pit against something "nobody can do anything to" IE Scientology, the US federal government, ACTA, and so on. I'm not counting the sony hacking because that was anonops, a different sub group similar to Anonymous legion, both of which have actual leaders.
