You are still going to try that meme about the TEA party and OWS being identical?

Looks like you've trotted out a list of mostly imaginary or grossly simplified positions. But nonetheless...

OCCUPY WALL STREET vs. THE TEA PARTY

•Break The System vs. Fix The System Silly. No one is suggesting that we "break" the system. Everybody wants the system fixed. They just disagree on how exactly we should do that.

•We should be bailed out too! vs. Nobody should be bailed out! Wrong. Many Tea Party members are (rightly) worried about their Social Security and Medicare entitlements.

•Get money out of politics. vs. Get politics out of money. Meaningless.

•We deserve other people’s money. vs. People deserve to keep what they earn. -The Banks and the Rich shouldn't get our money. vs. the banks should get most or all of our money.

Fixed.

•We need to keep spending money we don’t have. vs. We need to stop spending money we don’t have. Stupid.

•The solution is to increase govt power. vs. The solution is to decrease govt power. Depends how you define "government power".

•Tax those evil rich fat cats into oblivion. vs. We’re taxed enough already. The way the Christian right identifies with the rich is interesting.

Even when Herman Cain suggests we cut taxes for the rich and increase YOUR taxes, you still support it.

•Replace the Constitution vs. Restore the Constitution The Constitution is a piece of paper written over 200 years ago. If replacing it is the solution to our economic problems then so be it.

Not one arrest of a TEA partier at a rally. Not one act of vandalism, rape, theft, or even littering at a rally. The TEA party even filled out all paperwork and paid all fees to hold their rallies. The OWS group just shows up and squats, tearing up the space they occupy, defecating and urinating anywhere they want, and causeing businesses to go out of business just due to their presents. Oh no that's not a wild generalization at all.

Sure, keep claiming they are the same, and keep throwing in your prejudice bigotry about the religious right. When you stop shoving your ideology down our throats, I'll start taking you guys seriously. Actually no, I do take you seriously, I take you as a serious threat to my civil liberties.
