Occupy Colleges plans national walk-out Wednesday Edited on Tue Oct-04-11 05:12 PM by malaiseComing to a college near you - Occupy!http://www.dailycal.org/2011/10/03/occupy-colleges-plan... /<snip>Occupy Colleges — a movement that stemmed from Occupy Wall Street — is calling for a national campus walkout Wednesday at 12 p.m. to protest rising college debt and a lack of jobs for graduates.“Do not go to school. Go fight for yours and everybody elses rights at Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Los Angeles or your nearest Occupation. The time is now to join our fellow %99!†stated Occupy College on its Facebook page.Occupy Berkeley is one of the many groups joining the Occupy Wall Street network. According to the website of Occupy Together — an unofficial hub for all of the events springing up across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street — there are more than 130 cities forming protests in the United States alone.add link - add to subject
What is their beef with colleges anyway? Colleges are run by people who are moonbats just like they are.
The bottom line is this.They ALL want to protest Obama and his policies, but since they can't - since he is a Democrat, and a black one at that, they are protesting institutions that leverage the policies he supports. The only ones voicing what they all think are the LaRouche people - who are just as annoying as followers of Phelps and the Westboro Baptists. All of the 'Too big to fail' Wall Street banks and businesses have Obama's people inside making policy and determining course of action.Obama & Co. have made it much, much harder to skip paying back student loans, and support policies that have resulted in tuition costs skyrocketing.I suppose next will be 'Occupy [insert utility company here] ' protests, once Obama's policies take hold and push up the cost of energy.
Yeah not one of them goons recall his promise to make electricity bills necessarily skyrocket.
Probably because they don't pay electric bills.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Sure , let all those idiots skip out of class for a few days or weeks. The only thing to suffer, is possibly their grades, the schools will still get their money.
It's not like these idiots will be any LESS employable than they already are anyway...
So, just out of curiosity DUmbasses, if education is going to be free, who's going to pay the professors, the light bills, the maintenance fees, the administration fees, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.?
You, me and Joe over there.
Sorry DUmmies Tea Party beat you to the punch. We've got the momentum. You guys (the uber-environmentalists) leave trash everywhere. You look nasty and disheveled. You had your chance 40 years ago. Now you just look like whiners. "Daddy government has to come rescue me from the big bad world because I'm not capable of managing my own life and too lazy to make it with my own sweat!"This will fail. Just like everything else you do. That's what happens when you try to relive the past instead of looking to the future.Cindie
Yet they still adopt the label of "progressives".
(3) Rallies and events held on the day of the walkout (some simply spontaneous discussions), will further consensus among the students as to some particulars about focus.(4) If it is successful, then it will lead to further action.
Cashman7323 Occupy Fort Knox. Make sure you are armed. That'll teach 'em.
