Zuccotti Park, where the protest is centered, is a public facility that is open to the public 24/7. You don't need a permit to go there. Political speech is still protected in public spaces the last time I looked

How about this for a critique on your hero......Ron Paul is a social far left progressive nutjob and a fiscal far right teaparty type nutjob....both positions which I cant stand.

its also private property...which means they can be forced to leave at any time.
 
How can a place be both state and privately own? It's either public (tax funded) property, or private (non tax funded) property.

they don't want a permit, as that would suggest they are cooperating with the evil goose-stepping foot-soldiers of Capitalism/Fascism.

the park is private property.

Zuccotti Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zuccotti Park, formerly called Liberty Plaza Park, is a 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) privately-owned publicly-accessible park in Lower Manhattan in New York City. The park, which is owned by Brookfield Office Properties, is located between Broadway, Trinity Place, Liberty Street and Cedar Street

Wrong, the Park is a public park and required to be open to the public 24/7

Park Gives Wall St. Protesters Place to Call Home - NYTimes.com
The origins of the park are tied to One Liberty Plaza, a 54-story tower just north of the park. In 1968, the tower’s developers were permitted to add 500,000 square feet to their building in return for providing a public space, which was first named Liberty Plaza Park.

So you and the Wall Street protesters want to make success probable rather than possible. How do you plan on doing that?

Don't think that is what I said. To better get my meaning I would focus on this statement:

And to not praise those who get the head start too much or condemn those who have much to overcome too much. We should try and keep some perspective.

no, the park is private-property. the protestors are there with the permission of the owners of the park.

however, one phone call and the protestors must leave.

No, you're leaving out the part about how the park is a public park. It is dishonest to leave out the facts that do not support your position.

Would like to tell me how I was wrong. If was indeed wrong and you know how I was you should be able to tell me.

Bush was pro-Choice?

Bush supported more environmental regulations?

Bush was against the death penalty?

Bush supported drug-legalization?

Bush supported fetal stem-cell research?

what you have written is called Historical Revisionism.

That is not all a liberal makes and you know it. I never said he was liberal though and though I called him a neocon. If you bothered to look up the term before you decided to declare I was wrong you would see neocons support many liberal policies that involve such things as welfare state, and much of the nanny state ideas.

As for your post most of those positions do not describe liberals but positions that they may or not have. The only one on the list I would wager all liberals have is more environmental controls. I know for a fact not all liberal are pro-choice, not all liberals support stem cell research let alone fetal, and I know that majority of liberals by polls taken recently say that 55% of liberals support the death penalty with 75 percent of conservatives supporting it.

Libertarians Wingnuts are so cowardly and kooky they can't even defend their own words. They have to deny them

I said flat out he was neocon and described what a neocon is in simple terms. That is what I said.

What are you aren't getting is it was a protest that had two sides. One side was for the healthcare law, the other side was against it. What you are also forgetting is that it was an important time to stand up so people took time off work. A few days of vacation if you will. However, to say that a week is comparable to this that supposedly going to last a month with just demands for free stuff is not workable and you know it.

I think you are right. It is two different protests.

Do you even know anyone who is there (the Wall St protest)? Do you know what any of them do for a living or anything about any of them? It is pretty pathetic to make judgments about people you know nothing about. Not to mention, I already posted you the dates of a week-long Tea Party rally. But what do you care? They, just like everyone else, have a right to voice their opinion and protest. It's sad that you dislike it just because you do not share their views.

A bunch of clueless effing idiots. Sad on top of that. Wall Street does need protested but not by those who would create a list like this. They will only make it worse. It will be easy for Wall Street to simply sit back and laugh.

Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr. LOL

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. Just goes to prove what people have been saying about them.

Sorry, I can't continue. What a bunch of morons.

That "list of demands" was a forum post by a board member.

Coulda been somebody ON wall st trying to discredit, as easilg as a naive poster.

The Tea Party was an Astroturf organized by corporate powers and promoted by Fox News, Wall Street protesters are a real grass roots organization.

Uh, it's more than Fox News, it's the entire media establishment, including MSNBC, NPR and other so-called 'liberal' media outlets.
