    Where is the compassion from the left? why are they not willing to feed the homeless and those who are addicted to drugs and other things?

    I guess they really are not the 99%.

    I don't understand this. Why isn't everyone entitled to sheep-cheese salad and organic chicken? Hell, if i wouldn't puke my guts out, I'd mosey on down to the nearest OWS kitchen and have a bite. Just because I think they and their little 'movement' is absolutely pathetic shouldn't mean that I don't have a right to what they have. Am I wrong?

    I am guessing that the homeless are not part of the 99%? or OWS is not part of the 99%? which is it?

    It is quite confusing. You'd think the homeless would be a 'centerpiece' for their cause.

    Yes, with rational thought you would think that, but with liberalism's constipation of the brain, that doesn't make sense to them.

    It almost seems like they just want handouts for themselves, and they're not willing to share with others. That is so suprising.

    And you might have noted at the end of the Post article that they are keeping quiet any questionable (possibly criminal) behaviors in an attempt to control the news coming out of this mess.

    Rather silly complaint of yours, don;t you think?

    It would appear to myself, a reasonable person, that there limited resources are dedicated to their purpose, not to feeding the homeless.

    Not sure how protesting the financial structure in the United States antiquates to a need to feed the homeless, but I am certain if I put on partisan lenses it could be spun that way.

    Good morning TFM.

    It's humorous how you don't see the irony of, crowds of people demanding that they have too little, while others have too much. Yet they turn away people who have less than them. If they were true to their 'purpose' and beliefs, they would not only feed the homeless, but also give them their clothing, shelter, Ipods, Blackberries, laptops, etc.

    Human nature's inherent quality to seek the path of least resistence will forever be the bane of social alchemists on the progressive left...will they learn?

    No.

    They'll still tell us an "equal, socially just", classless society is perfectly plausable....if only they're permitted the ability to engineer it "properly".


    What they'll never publicly admit to, however, is the level of authoritarianism required.

    ****** Constitution!

    Wouldn't the homeless be part of their 99%?

    I must say the level of projection and stretching you go to in order to create some bizarre connection is indicative of the lack of argument that can be put forth for your position.

    Don;t you think your criticism, and the criticism int he OP is rather petty? Seems to me that you are assigning positions to these protesters and then arguing against it.

    That is because socialism isn't for the socialist, its for everyone else.

    How is it stretching or projecting? A group of freeloaders seeking handouts from others are upset because they had to give handouts to people with less than them. What are you not understanding here? I can help.

    Well since most of these idiots would indeed fall into the 'everyone else' category, then these idiots would probably have to be deemed mentally retarded, wouldn't they?

    I see your argument is intentionally ignoring reality in favor of perpetual failure.

    Once again, these people are protesting the financial institutions in American and their influence and control. If the only complaint you can come up with is an invented one, such as your OP, then I must say your position is rather weak.

    Indeed, right there, right there in bold.

    Now either your lack of understanding is intentional or accidental. Care to chose?

    You've confused private industry of producing tangible and intangible goods with a government function.

    Dimbulb anarchists, communists and union lackeys...grousing about convicts and homeless sponging free stuff is comedy gold.

    Reminds of the Jon Stewart rally in Washington, made up of all the dredges from the streets of DC scuttling down for a free meal.
