I think this says everything we need to know about America. Peaceful protesters are now terrorists.
George Orwell was a genius and there needs to be a statue dedicated to him in every city.
Soldiers
You have got to be kidding me. I wish I had been awake to watch this throughout the night.
These officers are regularly posted in the Financial District so seeing them there should not be a surprise. The commentary here is appropriate, however, and should serve as a stark reminder of what some of our civil liberties are falling to, and who they are being suppressed by.
Ew. This just made my stomach churn.
This should scare EVERYONE regardless of political affiliation or support for OWS, they are using counter terrorism officers against our own citizens.
What has this country become.
Take the red pill NYPD.

Eric Cantor on the Tea Party:

On Bill Maher’s show, Alan Grayson explains why Occupy Wall Street isn’t just a bunch of drum-beatin’ hippies complaining about nothing.
And, at the same time, makes P.J. O’Rourke look like a fool.
And, gets a standing ovation from the audience.
I love Alan Grayson - a true populist.
