Occupy Wall street movement
Everyone is asking what is OWS about. It is about the average American wanting a level playing field. It is about the average American wanting a shot at the American dream. It is about who we are. We want our country back. That is it in a nutshell. We want our country back. There is not one politician out there that gives a tinkers damn about the country. There is not one politician, at least on the Republican side, that gives a tinkers damn whether the returning vets have homes and jobs. There is not one politician out there that even understands what it is like to have things closing in around you, seeing your home disappear, your way of life disappear, looking at the prospect of being homeless and jobless with children to support. Where are the anti-abortionists now? They, like the politicians they support don't care. All they want is to further their agenda. The politicians know this and play on these fools. Those politicians promise to walk the walk on jobs, security, health care, but in the end that's all it is. Talk. They all remind me of the old time circuit preacher. Praise the Lord. Give generously. He will reward you. Then he is behind the revival tent in the back seat of a car with your daughter. Check out what is on the agenda when Karl Rove's group of Republicans meet. It is how to take the White House from the Democrats. It is how to take the Senate. If we can get control of all three houses of government, we are unstoppable. We can do what we want. That is the attitude in this country now. I have mine, screw you. Cain even made the statement that if you are unemployed and not rich, it is your own fault. So the demands of OWS is we want our country back. We want the opportunity to build a decent life. The 1% made all their billions off the American people and now they refuse to put any of those gains back into the very country that made it possible for them to be richer than Midas. There is no conscience. My father's generation would be so ashamed. My father and every man and a lot of women he knew fought to preserve this country. They saw everyone as equal. They were Americans and so was the rest of the country. However, the crop of politicians over the last 30 or so years do not and have not seen this. They see it as someone else's job to defend the country. They just make the money off those wars that they promote to sell their weapons. They just don't care. The best thing the American citizens can do is get out and vote. Get off our collective rears and vote. And before we do this, research the candidates. Make damn sure they have the welfare of the country in mind, not just their own personal agenda. Take back our county.
