They love those Marxist protesters over at The Morning Joe.
These are your typical snot-nosed, union-backed, pro-Communisitic/pro-Marxist/pro wealth distribution/pro climate change hysteria, pro class envy, anti-American freedom pukes that we've always had in my lifetime.
If anyone knows where I can get a live feed online of this debate, I’d appreciate the info.
Why can’t we get journalists who can ask substantive questions?
Here is the answer to the question:
OWS is nothing more than White House Street Theatre.
Next question please.
I think any reasonable candidate must oppose the occupy Wall Street demonstrations. Amid the cacophony of slogans energizing these people equality of outcome seems to resonate. However, our governing documents contemplate equality of opportunity, in which each person determines the place of materialism. Whatever material advantages some people may gain were always intended to be subject to the rule of law.
The pursuit of happiness means primarily spiritual prosperity within the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. It does not mean the government will ensure protection of home values, college funds, retirement accounts, savings, executive severance packages, affordable healthcare, homeownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits. There is no happiness within illusions of material security provided by politicians and their allies, because these initiatives always require accepting subservience to a new set of laws.
These new laws are administrative laws, and with their associated regulations, constitute the soft underbelly of our Constitution. Under administrative law like Roman civil law a person is subject to its penalties and restrictions until they discover some way to legally extricate themselves; a profoundly difficult process. Under English common law, which has its source in natural rights, and which serves as the basis for our Constitution, a person is innocent and not subject to the penalties of the law until proved guilty.
Equality of outcome is the rallying cry for concepts of government such as Communism, Bolivarism, Fascism, Socialism, and National Socialism. These governing structures rely upon ever more restrictive network of administrative laws to fortify a perpetual ruling elite.
This astroturf carries the Obama brand.
I don’t think I am going to watch. I don’t want to see them being peppered with stupid questions like “so are you in favor of $5 ATM fees and the ability of banks to raise your interest to 30% on a two-year old purchase?”
Why will anything Occupy Wall Street does have any effect on the debate? They are not republicans and do not vote in the primary.
