Have you gone to your local occupy?
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 12:04 AM by nadinbrzezinski
I went today for the vigil, and that meant much closer to the General Assembly...this meant close to 100 people were present, and there was some lively political discussion.
So here is one constant I got...people are pissed. To paraphrase one of the people, what happened to her American dream? She's lived and worked here for thirty five years, and yes...paid taxes...she does not even have health insurance
Another sees the abuse of the Medicare system with unnecessary tests with her mother, oh and she can't see a doctor either.
Then there is the nam vet who's getting one regular meal now, who can't get into low income housing...yes he's one of them invisible people, to get back on his feet...current wait in this city...ten years.
Did I mention the guy who owns five houses, rentals, who wants to pay his fair share?
They get it, it's the system.
Then there is the healthcare activist...
The college student who already has a 60k debt.
The construction worker who gets work a few times.
The mother with her kids, afraid they don't have a future.
Oh and I did confirm my diagnosis. The tents are a health hazard because they are attracting the wrong element.
My only complaint is not the smell, I ain't an innocent flower, but the smoking and it has to do with my freaking asthma.
Oh and as to the vigil, it was a minute of silence. I should have brought the candles, dopey me.
Yes, I went to my local occupy. It was one day Nadin. ONE STINKIN' SATURDAY !!!!
They don't get it. No solidarity, no camping out, no Billy Jack singing One Tin Soldier, NOTHING !!
I brought a camera, they wouldn't let me take pictures. How rude !! How is truth to power spread if we can't take pictures ??
I think everyone should go to their local occupy. It's good to put a face to the local trouble making moonbats !! :lmao:
-
That's it! I'm going tomorrow. I think there are at least 8 prostaters.
-
We don't have one. Most of us have jobs and lives.

Same here, with the additional element of too many "good ol' boys", "rednecks", and "conceal carry permit holders" who will NOT put up with such bullshit.
Come to think of it, aren't the highest concentration of OWS protests in the cities with the strictest gun control laws, while out here in the "boonies", not a peep.
Something to think about. :-)

3. Well there was a vibe ranging from a true, maybe left to center
But take heart, for a few of our partisans there was an Obama 2012 on the ground. But at a meta level this is well beyond the parties. And I mean both parties. Also people I talked to had nothing good to say about...the GOP and a lively debate was had on why obama should be reelected. For the most part I was there as a reporter...I need to turn puter on to load photos by the way.
LOL ! Nadin, you're in liberal utopia. Of course no one likes the GOP there. They want what the GOP have. Be serious now.
Oh about those photos you took ? I think you got those from them Google and copied them to your puter pic file. Yep. Them look like them been stolen. I expected more from you Miss Reporter on the ground.

4. Mine is a trolley ride
And since I did not park in the safest and they were running an hour late...
It felt odd to give decon instructions for tear gas though.
Professional occupier Nadin. Add that to the resume list please.

She gave decon intructions for tear gas? I think this is chicken shit. If nads was really sincere she would be there 24/7 leading the medical team. With all of her vast experience, medical and otherwise, in danger zones I wonder if the movie and series M*A*S*H was loosely based on portions of her life.

LOL !!
I'll bet she wrote MASH. :lmao:

I see what you did there. :lmao:
I went by yesterday and saw the tens of protesters in Norfolk. Getting a little chilly so the herd will thin.

I saw a sign in a shop window about when the gang will be rolling through town. Forgot to note the date. If I'm free I'll probably stroll by and see who I know. I heard they are occupying a relative's place outside Jackson and dropping into town during the day like any other tourist. Must be a nice place because they've stayed there longer than expected.

8. No. My days of public demonstration are over.
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 12:21 AM by BlueIris
I did that back in my wasted youth, with very little support. So the folks who sat on their butts during that time? Are more than welcome to try to make up for that now, while I continue to repair the damage my activism did to what passes for my life. Good luck, all. We missed you back in '04.
What? What in the world happened to you? In 2004?

My guess is that she didn't manage to pull, which is what turned her into such a man-hating femnazi.

10. We were there in 2004
But the energy here s different and quite frankly global.
You can occupy the web...no serious, you can do that too.
Occupy the web? That's the perfect classic - bringing about the revolution by bitching and moaning on-line.

Another sees the abuse of the Medicare system with unnecessary tests with her mother, oh and she can't see a doctor either. Tests that if not performed will give you the opportunity to sue the doctor.
Then there is the nam vet who's getting one regular meal now, who can't get into low income housing...yes he's one of them invisible people, to get back on his feet...current wait in this city...ten years.
Did I mention the guy who owns five houses, rentals, who wants to pay his fair share? What exactly is stopping him from paying more?
They get it, it's the system.
Then there is the healthcare activist... Translation another liberal arts major without a future that wants free health care.
The college student who already has a 60k debt. Who held a gun to it's head and forced him to take a loan in medevil musical instruments?
The construction worker who gets work a few times. I don't know how about change of careers or move to an area that has work?
The mother with her kids, afraid they don't have a future. She should have lived up to her liberal credentials and aborted them sparing them a life of hardship and work.
Oh and I did confirm my diagnosis. The tents are a health hazard because they are attracting the wrong element. Tents are a health hazard or the occupants?
My only complaint is not the smell, I ain't an innocent flower, but the smoking and it has to do with my freaking asthma.

Believe it or not, SD is pretty reliably conservative--almost as much as OC.
Now if she lived in LA or SF, that'd be another story.
But either way, she's as phony as a three dollar bill.

Who wants me to pay for his shit.
The college student who already has a 60k debt.
Who won't work (by her/his mere presence at the "occupation" as opposed to being in class or being on the job) and wants me to pay for his shit.
The construction worker who gets work a few times.
Who won't attempt to learn another skill and wants me to pay for his shit.
The mother with her kids, afraid they don't have a future.
Who isn't working and wants me to pay for her shit.
Oh and I did confirm my diagnosis. The tents are a health hazard because they are attracting the wrong element.
Translation: Professional bums who want me to pay for their shit.
Typically, nads, you look past the problem which is on the individual level and instead blame "the system". It isn't "the system", dear, it's you and your kind that have broken our society with your encouragement and coddling of failure.
Wake up, DUmmies.

For the most part I was there as a reporter.
Another update to the resume!

Somebody please translate this for me.

What in the bloody he77 is she saying? :banghead:
I don't have a clue.

I drove past there last week and no one was there. From my understanding, there are about 10 people there now. I'll drive past their "campground" tomorrow and do a quick head count.

Do it, EC.
Give an honest count, not the liberal count.

Nadin is starting to remind me of Fire Marshall Bill.

Nadin is starting to remind me of Fire Marshall Bill.
Channeling nadin: I gave Fire Marshall Bill them lectures on fire safey. Oh and they covered everything from spontaneous combustion to a little thing called radiation burns from UFO exhausts. Oh...and yes I included them pesky sections on not touching fire because it was hot. Fire Marshall Bill was not a good student. I eventually had to remove my fire-safety-lecturing hat and put on my burn-victim-salvation hat AFTER I had put on my knock-his-non-learning-ass-in-the-fire hat.

How about if I translate it into Valley Girl speak, maybe it'll be more understandable then?
Mmmmmmkay, there was like a totally awesome song playing and I like think most of the people were like more to like the left and center left on like a political scale, and there were totally like some Obama supporters there but the vibe I like got was that this totally awesome movement transcends party, like I totally mean transcends both parties, fer real, but I like spoke to most of the tens of people there who like totally hate the GOP but like somehow we got into like this lively like debate on like whether or not like Obama should like be re-elected. I was like there though in like reporter mode so I was like trying to be like totally objective. Mmmmmmkay, so I have to like totally turn the computer off for like right now and I've got to like download photos but like how am I going to do that if I turn the computer off? but I'll like figure it out!
