Regardless of whether or not you agree with anything they said, if you think occupiers were not seen by the government as a nuisance/threat you are simply misinformed. A lot of people (yourself included apparently) still believe that the party opposite of what they vote are evil masterminds bent on the destruction of the free world, and that their party alone is fighting for the good of the people and the betterment of all. Democrats and Republicans alike think like that, and it's complete nonsense from both ends. Neither party is fighting for you because neither party represents you anymore. They are all working for the same evil masterminds that are destroying everything good in the world. Any affront to government is going to be met with hostility and negative media attention from the opposite side.
You are mistaken on many, many levels.
Here is a quote from Nancy Pelosi on your Occupy movement....
"God bless them," Pelosi said, "for their spontaneity. It's independent ... it's young, it's spontaneous, and it's focused. And it's going to be effective."And here is what Obama said in reference to Occupiers, mistakenly protesting him...
“I appreciate you guys making your point; let me go ahead and make mine,” Obama said before continuing his speech. “I'll listen to you, you listen to me, OK?”
A few minutes later, Obama acknowledged the Occupy protest movement again, saying: “You are the reason I ran for office.”This administration was on the Occupy side, and supported you fully.
Not so very much with the Tea Party. (Or didn't you realize that we, who are conservatives, are the only real enemy of this government?).
Now whether or not you believe that there's some evil conspiracy in both parties "destroying everything good in this world" is your own business. But you mistakenly believe that, when I connect you and the Occupy movement with this administration, that I am blindly supporting the Republican party.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
But if you ask me, are there good, honest, patriotic people in the Republican party, I will say, most certainly yes. And if you ask me if there are good, honest patriotic people in the Democrats now running the country, I will say a definitive no.
It requires some nuance to understand the difference between what many conservatives, like me, believe, and what you mistakenly posted in your attempt to express what you
think I believe, but it can be done.
Try it.
