We all know there is a large contingent of radical socialists, even communist die-hards, among the Occupy crowd, but it’s still pretty jarring to see this sort of discussion being conducted in the light of day, probably no more then a mile or two from our nation’s capitol.

Psst, see #27. The bumper stickler is a hit.

[Travis McGee]

Good one!

[wastedyears]

Remember the Bonus Army disaster, and how Patton is a hero to many.

[bill1952]

Marines would take these people out without breaking a sweat...

No sarcasm intended, I believe a few troops of the Pennsylvania Boy Scouts could end this entire problem if they were unfettered...

[GeronL]

was the crowd “twinkling” when they were saying this?

:p

Yee Haw

Do you mean Douglas MacArthur?

Also, not only is 11/11/11 National Metal Day, but it’s also 255.

That’s the same one I saw!

I don’t think those guys look like they support OWS . . .

Yes, but the guy on the left really was at Zuccotti Park last month...

[Allegra]

Dang...meant to ping you to #50! ;-)

[ExGeeEye]

It will take a revolution to re instate the constitution.

Stolen.

[Eaker]

Yes, but the guy on the left really was at Zuccotti Park last month...

If ya ain't got pictures, ya ain't got proof!

[Eaker]

Give three guesses which FReepers those are.

[dsutah]

My Step-Dad says that a lot. Only he says on the second part: “overload your Hummingbird butt”! (laugh)I laugh to myself every time I hear him say it!

You need a lot of perspective. Patton is a hero and that one incident isn’t going to dent that fact.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There’s got to be a young John Kerry out amongst this rabble.

Gangs can be handled. Moral rot and terminal political correctness cannot.

Good Luck on trying to Occupy The Range.

Oh, I'm pretty sure the military wouldn't mind them "Occupying the Range", as long as it was:

A. Upwind...

and

B. "Down Range"...

It would be civil war , not revolution.

I occupy too.

I don’t use polypropylene.

I use lead.
