I just got back from Occupy Knoxville and I thought I'd share my thoughts. I was very impressed by the turnout. We had over 400 people which is good for such a conservative area. The diversity was great as well we had people their teens to their 70s it looked like. One of the most inspiring parts for me was when a 15 year old high school sophomore got up and spoke. It was inspiring to see someone that young take in interest in these important issues.

As for the political views they ranged from liberal to full blown socialist. Some people were carrying signs calling for the end of capitalism and members of the Socialist Worker where there handing out their newspaper.

If you any questions about it, just ask me.

I have a question.  You do realize that even most Democrats don't want the type of socialism you want , right?  With the noted exception of the DUmp.  Most Americans of all political stripes think capitalism is a really good idea.

I'm just so glad to know now that he is in the Knoxville vicinity.  I knew he was from Tennessee, but, I was picturing him infesting the streets of my town.

Answer the question you racist pig.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

"We had over 400 people, which is good"

OMG that is like tens and tens and tens of people!!!  :panic:

My mom retired last year from being the banquet manager of a fairly large banquet hall. It was always a part time job for her, about twenty hours per week. A hobby really, no biggie. She took it up when all of us kids were out of school and now that she has eight little grandchildren it's not so appealing anymore and according to her, frankly it got quite boring. Not a whole lot goes into putting together a party for 400 people, fairly routine actually. Colors may change and perhaps a few tweaks to the menu but it's pretty much one wedding after another, blah blah blah.

This place is divided into two main rooms which can each seat about 450 people and when the center partition is opened for one big party it can handle 1100. This happens all the time, regular business. This place is right in the midst of a suburban neighborhood and there is no noticeable impact on local traffic. No noise bothers the neighbors.

For the DUmmie to suggest that a whopping 400 people are having an impact is laughable, even if they are in the street. Ultimately this is why such wanna-be mobs resort to violence and confrontation, nobody really notices they are there unless they act up. Just like the banquet hall with its unremarkable nightly parties of hundreds that get together, dance, party, drink, drink some more, drink some more and go home, nobody cares.

Get it? Nobody cares.

They will hoot & holler and create a big mess for someone else to clean up. When the beer and the weed and the Cheetos and the enthusiasm wears off they will stumble home.

Nobody will notice and nobody will care.

I thought she claimed to have slept with 400 people in the past month.  :-)
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

OK I have a few questions for you.

1. 400 people in a conservative area? Do you wonder why the turnout was so low?
2. Political views from liberal to socialist? Do you know what is happening in Europe to the socialist utopias? If so, do you understand why they are having problems?
3. Some people were carrying signs calling for the end of capitalism? What do you suggest replace it and has the system you suggest to replace it ever been successful in both the short term and long term?
4. As to 2 and 3... why do you not move to a country that shares your view?
5. Do you have a job? Do you have an education?
6. Do you pay any federal income taxes?
7. Are you on any type of government assistance?
