Obviously, if Christians are angry about income inequality or corporations that sit on their capital rather than hire at home or the failure of justice in dealing with Wall St. perfidy, Pat will let them know.<br /><br />There was a sad but compassionate handling of city issues with the movement from Portland's mayor. He made it clear that he hoped the movement would "evolve" and that he sympathizes with it. It's impossible for me to imagine how the occupation can make it as is through the kind of winter we had last year in the northern half of the nation. It's also unthinkable to imagine that it will go away. Evolve is the perfect term.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-77697022566947446642011-11-11T12:28:41.622-05:002011-11-11T12:28:41.622-05:00Donna -- :: gasps ::

The right wing is busy demonizing the movement by raising Soros, Van Johnson and Acorn as major players as well as playing up every incident of violence or otherwise "immoral" behavior. The funniest I saw was a fly over with a helicopter with infrared detection to "prove" that nobody was actually sleeping in the tents at night. Too funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-18194509987728252512011-11-11T10:24:56.106-05:002011-11-11T10:24:56.106-05:00I walked past the OWS protesters and their tents i...I walked past the OWS protesters and their tents in downtown SF yesterday and wasn't even scared.

They dominated the public discussion for two straight years. Only until now has the press acknowledged that there is actually such a thing as a liberal base who disagrees with the notion of cutting benefits for average Americans while giving more money and power to the top 1%!<br /><br />That's why they're pissed. They no longer are controlling the discourse and discussion anymore, good riddance!Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615952402921593167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-77914176323943967352011-11-10T21:53:24.816-05:002011-11-10T21:53:24.816-05:00Hmmm, I wonder if Hannity has a point.
