As if they're not giving President Obama MORE material to use against them, here comes Sen. McDerp from Illinois to add a little fuel to the fire.

Congressman ChildSupport doesn't understand that "dick juice in hair cave" has consequences.

From what he could tell, Walsh said, Occupy protesters are "generally spoiled, pampered, unfocused, clueless young people and a smattering of other people who don't understand this country and are advocating anti-American solutions."

And you are human trash, and the world would be better if you were never born and America would be better if the modern republican party never existed.

I'd love to punch that guy in the dick, if he had one. Those kids are obviously not his, because he has no balls.

Combined with his love for Big Banks, and hatred for those that stand up for what they believe in, we have a contender for Douchiest Politician 2012. It's a big crowd this year, but he's in the top 5.

You know, if it weren't for Allen West, Joe Walsh would be the biggest douchebag in the U.S. Congress.

I daresay that politicians who say that no American citizen should ever protest are the ones that truly don't understand this country.

No, these are the same veterans that somehow get pregnant when it is time for deployment and the same veterans that get kicked out for drug use. Every single one they have interviewed or identified has not had an honorable discharge. That ought to tell the brain dead socialists on this site something but they can't grasp common sense.

Yeah, the men and women who have showed the highest sacrifice and given their lives in service of our great nation, just "don't understand" our country.

i remember marching at a "no war in iraq" event waaaaaaaaaay back before we actually invaded (spring-ish 2003) and my sign said something like "VETERAN AGAINST THE WAR" and a couple of farkmouths asked me about my discharge status. my response was "honorable" ("oh yeah? well prove it, liar"! "

yeah, because I carry my DD-214 around with me. who doesn't?

second was, "have you ever served?"

the answer of course was no, and I asked, "well then why should I go twice when you haven't served once?"

Life's been good so far for Joe Walsh in the city of Chicago, but it's a life of illusion to compare veterans with ordinary average guys. I don't know how they do things in Chicago, but that's not the Rocky Mountain Way.

When the Republicans say they support the military they mean they support defense contactors (and their contributions) not the troops or veterans.

You should get some band-aids with little purple hearts on them so you can mock the vets who where wounded, that's probably a good idea.

Ok, so Joe Walsh, who never served in the military, thinks he's qualified to speak for veterans now? Or is it just more of the idealization of those who've been in the military by those who haven't?

That's entirely uncalled for. Given that 85% of all internet users pull numbers out of their ass in support of their position, I applaud Jackie withholding judgment on something that supports his world view because he wants to see the proof before he commits.

Guy: I'm HIV negative.

Woman: As much as I want that to be true, I want to see recent test results to be sure.

Guy: Dumb ass, do you think I'm just trying to get into your pants? *produces test results*

Why does it matter if more OWS people are employed than Tea Party folks? Not trolling, I'm just not sure what your point is.

Pretty much. Like an idealization of families by someone who has abandoned his own.

What I would give to hear a reporter, just once, show some balls at one of these press rallies.

"Mr. Walsh, concerning your earlier comments about veterans being self-entitled hypocrites who don't understand America... how are the child support payments going?"

Veterans only count if they agree with you politically.

Veteran who recently changed party affiliation from republican to none

When I was active duty just out of high school I thought the republican party more closely represented my political views. After I got out I furthered my education and got a little older. I also started paying more attention to news and politics and realized how republican party behaves and the way they portray themselves are very different.

In contrast, a 2010 New York Times CBS News poll found that only 56% of members of the Tea party were employed

...

According to the New York Times/CBS poll, 32% of the Tea Party members surveyed are retired


Which seems like it would put the Tea Part employment rate at 88%... Sort of unfair to lump the retired in with the unemployed, as they are not currently looking for work...

They really don't.
The state (any state) exists to impose the will of the minority on the majority.
The state bureaucracy and members on its own are their own force, as are the economic bosses.
Through the changing of the system through economic influence, the state bureaucracy is gradually becoming more under the control of the economic bosses, but they are still two separate identities.
Regardless, the purpose of both the state and the boss is to dominate in a hierarchical fashion.
The military's job is to impose force upon those who resists this domination and to act in the interests of the politicians and the bosses (to the degree that bosses influence the government).
This state, and no state, is based on freedom or the preservation of protest. It appeals to such to fool the masses.
What OWS is reacting to is the gradual increase in the influence economic bosses have over political authority.
The solution isn't to protest to your leaders. The solution is to present a new form of organization in which there is no slave (order taker) or boss (order giver). It is to interact as equals (free agreement and organization).
The government is a separation of the governed from the governors, and the workplace is a separation of the worker from the boss.
The only way to achieve freedom is to eliminate the distinctions. This is why socialists/communists failed in their revolution. They changed control of the property to state/bureaucratic ownership without changing the social interactions of boss and worker.
Capitalism is preferable to authoritarian communism because capitalism offers a choice of domination, where as AC puts everyone under one boss, the state, with no contributions of the worker to their own freedom or decision. Private capitalism is preferable to state capitalism. Reformed private capitalism (social democracy) has the best track record by UN measures but ignores the social organization.
The solution is to change the social organization from dominant and dominated to free agreement between equals in both economic production and political decision making.
Communism (ability/need) and socialism (by work contributed) are not flawed by nature. They are flawed when you impose an unneeded unlibertarian social structure on it and replace the old boss with the new.
Stop addressing the government or the bosses as though they give a damn. Create alternative social structures amongst yourselves as equals through free agreement. And if you can't come to agreement, leave the association to find one where you can find agreement. There is an alternative to nationalization and privatization, take your lives into your own hands as true free individuals and equals.
