"Occupy This!" by Old Fart Rants

If you're a Teabagger, put on your powdered wig and tri-cornered hat for a little history lesson. The original Boston Tea Party, the one from the history books, was sparked by a corporate tax cut for a British corporation. It was civil disobedience against a private corporation. The original Boston Tea Party feared that corporate greed would destroy America. The original Boston Tea Party believed government was necessary to protect us against corporate excess. How many teabaggers did you see getting arrested at their protests? None. We all saw their signs that are THIS CLOSE to being threats against the president of the United States, but did you see anyone getting beat up, maced, or arrested? No! When we saw teabaggers bringing loaded guns to town halls and speeches by Obama, did you see any of them getting hauled off in handcuffs? No! You know how to tell who the good guys are? The sane people? The people who represent the truth? They're the ones the police are beating up, macing and arresting. That's exactly how it was in the 60's when me and my hippy friends were protesting the Viet Nam war. If you haven't heard of Kent State, go look it up. 4 dead in Ohio! And do you know who came out on the right side of history. We did. We were right back then when everybody said we were wrong -- and everybody knows it now. The Wall Street protestors are the real deal - they're on the right side of history. They know who the real enemy is, and if you live long enough, you'll see I'm right.

I personally take great offense to you blaming only the conservitives for the problem. As an independant I know there's the right side the left side and then there is the truth. I see your blind by your affilation and the left can do no wrong. I personally think both parties are the problem.

@madfabricator77 Not true - you'll see in an upcoming video.

@BlameTheFirst If you're a Christian as you claim to be, then you believe in a cosmic Jewish zombie who wants you to worship him telepathically and perform ritualistic cannibalism of his body so he can remove sin all humans have from birth because a naked woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat fruit from a magic tree. You believe in unicorns and witches and satyrs and demons and all sorts of magical nonsense. And you say I'm far removed from reality? Really? Give me a break.

This guy is a total moron & shows how ignorant people really are. The tea party didn't crap in public,pee on police cars, wasn't raping woman & not contacting the police, doing drugs in public. Everything in this world has 2 sides the good & bad. Our goverment is the same there are bad people on both sides of the aisle, until we wake up & get corporate out of politics & start voting the person that is for the best interest of this country we will lose everytime. One Big A-- Mistake America

Every generation has had to fight to keep this country from going off the deep end. It's the next generations turn now. We old hippies will stand with them but the must lead.

@j777jimi Don't forget that these self righteous assholes who oppose gay marriage are the same ones,who, 15 or 20 years ago were sniveling about how promiscuous gay people are, implying that they would be more tolerant if gays didn't have multiple partners.

[j777jimi]

Hey old fart ..peace and love.! You rock brother.I'm requesting that you in your eloquent manner can do video on gay marriage. Using the fact that people like richard ramariz ..the night stalker, and the menedez breothers and other convicted killers and such, can marry and even have conjugal visits..and how sacred is the institution of marriage really is when its as ez as a few shots.. a beer a line in vegas..and not to mention the bachelor..tnx jimmy p.

I wondered if it was during the times, the private banks flexed their power to show what they could do if people went back to script as was threatened but I don't the dates and if the coincide.

[Covey1969]

Ulysses S Grant during his youth before his fame, was selling Potatoes going at a price of 8$-9$ a Bushel and a Simple Egg was $5, a hotel room a small bag of Gold Powder.

A terribly bad fortunate to business during his time trying to succeed...

What caused this ridicules mass inflation?

No Seriously, I'm trying to find a link...

What would have caused such a ridicules cost and right at the time California had an influx of people flooding into look for easy retirement from every creek..

GOLD!!

Isn't it strange that these right wingers who so angrily guard their freedom, are outraged at the Occupy Movement for exercising theirs. Peaceful protest is a right and a freedom. Just ask the folks in China. They don't have the right to protest. They have the right to get shot if they dare to.

[MAINEPREPPER]

Spot on comments about OWS and the Occupy movement in general. They are being characterized as "hippies" as if that is a pejorative LOL! So they mean they are peaceful, determined and want justice? I'm a professional career Soldier and I am very proud of the real patriots in OWS and the Occupy movement, the ones who truly love their country and want it taken away from the people who are buying our government. The Tea Party make me sick.

@madfabricator77 It's not about political parties any more. All branches of US government are owned, bought and paid for by Corporate money. There is no longer any legal recourse for individuals because even the legal system is rigged to favor those with money. Corporations decide our destiny. The only thing we can do now is to throw ourselves at the machine and hope to clog the gears.
