The MSM will then take up the cause full bore for the “Martyrs of Wall St” - butchered by “right wing Tea Party members”
My advice is ignore, ignore, ignore

Sounds more like deny, deny, deny.
What you haven't wrapped your mind around is the inconvenient fact that the MSM IS a central element of the violent, anarchist, communist parasites of society. They are no less the enemy than the foot soldiers. Among the top of the list leading the ongoing insurrection against the producers, the vast majority.

I bet the kid holding that sign winds up with a government job.

I'll take that bet.
No one who is sane and can spell and articulate ideas clearly qualifies for government work or Political Flash Mobs.

Ahh. I see the problem now...

I failed to make clear that I was not talking about getting rowdy at the freak-show. That would be pointless. fun... but ultimately pointless.

To regain our freedom we are going to have to remove ourselves from the death grip that the socialists have on us. ALL OF THEM... The obvious ones in DC and almost every level of government, the weak minded masses that vote them into office and the freaks who are on display in NYC.

;)

These demonstrators have a voice out of all proportion to their actual numbers. They are the minority OF a minority!!

I call them the Point-Zero-99ers

You, and many other clueless seem to have an elastic grasp of the word "peaceably," or tend to ignore it altogether.

To me, that word demands neither interfering with non-participants, nor with others exercising the same right with an opposing voice.

Violence has many shapes and degrees. Intimidation is not a right.

Agree with you 100%. Right now, we are ALL frogs in hot water and the heat is going up. The Left own the young, having polluted their minds with progressive pablum in the government schools.

We passed the tipping point as a country when DeathCare was shoved down our throats, when people loke Benedict Nelson and Fat Mary sold their souls - and their votes - despite all the peaceful marches and letters and phone calls demanding that it stop. We are on rapidly descending to 3rd world status and dictatorship.

And what did all the protesting accomplish? Oh, we got a few people elected. So what, debt keeps piling up and nothing gets cut - except MediCare and Defense. Right, kill all the old people and make us defenseless. The Communist/Socialist/Democrat faction continues its attacks and NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN stands up to them. We even have a candidate who brags that he can work with them. Lord, save me from fools.

I am now of the mindset that armed conflict is inevitable. It is God’s punishment to us who have wasted the liberties that were won with the blood of our forefathers.

If you're referring to a dissolution of the union, it may come to that, and hopefully the departing conservative state(s) are desirable to move to!

Again, they’re likely violating a variety of NYC ordinances/laws, and it would be nice to see NYC enforce them - as they would very likely do were a Tea Party in violation of something... anything.

“There are not enough of us WILLING to USE those weapons against the leftists.”

We’re built to be honorable. We don’t try to start fights - we are more than willing to finish them.

As long as you’re not in our face, we grumble and deal with it.

You are right. It’s a shame. We’re watching an honorable world be destroyed because we’re too honorable to stop the destruction. Crazy.

Travis, thanks for the ping.

There are not enough of us WILLING to USE those weapons against the leftists.

I pray to God that I will not have to resort to what you said but if it turns out to be that way, I will ask Him for wisdom and guidance. I would not do this with glee, but to preserve our country, I do fear it will result to the use of force and the possibility of hurting somebody or even taking life does not sit well with me. I'm 45, early middle age. If I had to fight, whether it's with a .22LR, M1 or M14, well, I would as long as I know my loved ones are safe. My grandfather carried an M1 Garand all the way from Normandy to Buchenwald in World War II. My uncle did the same in Korea for the 101st. I don't want to see their efforts go to naught, not only they fought for our way of life but many, many people down from the time of our Founding Fathers through the people who built this country. You can even go back further, to the Pilgrims, the signers of the Magna Carta, Rome, Cato the Elder, Greece, Hammurabi, Moses and so on.

I have to answer the question this way, "am I willing to draw a bead on these leftists" and I would have to answer, "yes, even though I have no pleasure in doing so." Still I see them as the enemy if it came down to it and yes, I will be filled with rage and anger at them trying to take our country away. The Constitution said to "protect against all enemies foreign and domestic." We all die at some point and when I pass on to the afterlife, I would end up meeting countless veterans, the Pilgrims, the pioneers, my family and friends, the victims of the Holocaust and so on and they will ask me, "did you open your mouth? Did you try to fight?" I would not want to look at them in the face and say, "duh, I did nothing." EVen if I only tried to speak out, at least that was something.

Whether I fight on the front lines or remain in the rear using my skills (I'm a good driver, into computers, electronic, amateur radio, etc), I want to say that I did my part or at least tried to.
