    Air gets pretty thin at the top of Mt. Olympus. You or me might get lightheaded, too.

    pretty soon Mitch Romney will support them

    GOP

    In the beginning Tea Party != GOP. You might try looking at the OP, as well.

    Its OK. Snake Boy knows more about what both of these groups want than either of the groups. Pretty much Snake Boys stance in every thread lately.

    Well like OWS, the TEA Party hasn't been so great at hammering out the details of exactly how much less they actually want. That's common ground.
    There's more than distributive justice and status resentment at play, JMO. The system is ing the commonweal.

    Fundamental questions re: accountability, fairness and fidelity to the good of the country (rather than a handful of well-groomed and practically foreordained special interests) naturally come to the fore, and can occasionally transcend political pedigree. Again, JMO.

    I don't disagree with any of that but it's nothing new. The "system" attempted a correction in '08 a we (americans) opted to perpetuate the "system". As I recall you and I were the only ones on this forum suggesting we do something along the lines of the Swedish approach. So I no longer take any of the ing and moaning seriously (OWS, Tea Party, etc.). We made our bed now we have to sleep in it.

    Btw, I'm not on top of Mt. Olympus just a little giddy over the amount of $ I made off of Wall St. today. These days I worry about me and mine, everyone else.

    I didn't actually. I don't remember getting the regulations I asked for as a requirement for the bailout. When do those come in?

    Joseph Snook, from Wake Up America Southern Oregon is one of the organizers of Monday’s protest. He made the following statement:” A group of conservatives, Libertarians, and Tea Party activists by the name of Wake Up America Southern Oregon is proud to unite with the Southern Oregon Occupy Movement to take a bold stand against the NDAA. Further, it is time that “We the People”, all of us unite!”

    Good news.

    Hopefully this becomes more common.

    WH - your dredging of old threads is amazing. Do you just have that stout of a memory, or do you keep a personal database?

    Instead of cross posting relevant past threads to new ones, which is tedious and time consuming, I treat the forum a bit like a filing system. I try to find the thread most relevant to something I want to post. If I can't find one, I'll post it as a stand alone.

    Makes it more interesting for me too. Starting a separate thread for each headline is redundant and historically sterile, and anyway this place is all about the talk. I like finding connections and enjoy seeing what people have said in the past.

    One of the state's most organized and vocal tea party groups has joined labor unions, eco-advocates, and civil rights activists to oppose legislation sponsored by state Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, that would place new restrictions on acts of civil disobedience and change how labor unions organize members. Writes the Dacula-based Atlanta Tea Party Patriots in an email to members:

    The bill at face value, apprears to be geared toward labor unions, but the devil is in the details... it clearly adds a "person or organization", which could include not only big labor, but also Tea Party activists, those protesting outside abortion clinics, or many other scenarios. Please see below...

    One thing that should be noted about the new generation. For all the ing about them being pussies because everyone gets invited to their parties and everyone wins in their little league games, todays kids do not share this ethic nearly as much as x and the boomers because of their upbringing.

    Win at all costs is not always a good thing.
