Wishful thinking and delusional.  When the Tea Party came in to existence and was irritatingly peaceful, respectful, and polite they called them racist and kept insisting the movement was over.  When the OCW movement came about and immediately showed the world how filthy and misbehaving people could be they lauded it as the next big thing, and are still convinced it’ll be relevant in the future.   I think perhaps the professor has been smoking something…

so amazing..this should be a major not just a class..such a meaningful movement

This class should be offered by the Psych Department.

 the tea party is just a bunch of rich white extreme racists congregating…why would anyone like them

Why do people (Read: conservatives) compare the Tea party movement to the Occupy protesters?

One was a political movement where seemingly non-educated folks walked around with their pocket constitutions and their handguns crying about Bush’s previous eight years of government’s big spending.  Yes folks, Bush was not conservative when it came to spending. 

And the Occupy movement was/is a social movement to protest the vast compensation inequalities between CEO’s and their employees (amongst a hundred other things).

One is political, one is social.    The media turned both of them into circuses by highlighting the the extremes of both movements.

But hey, you brought up the Tea Party.  Thought I’d just play along.

The prerequisite is that you have to be an incorrigible loser with not future but that of government assistance.

Right, just like the racist guy MSNBC featured holding an AR15.  Hermain Cain is clearly a racist as well, just like every other person of color who spoke at the events around the country.

The Tea Party is all about the constitution, they lived up to the American ideal of peaceful protest and joining the democratic process for change but our liberal universities decide to choose the OWS, the police car poopers, the rapes in tent city, the vandals, marxists, communists as their model for a college course. What is going on in our higher learning institutions?

 Why do people (Read: conservatives) compare the Tea party movement to the Occupy protesters?”

Because liberals did?

”
Obama Compares Occupy Wall St. To Tea Party”
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/obama-compares-occupy-wall-st-to-tea-party-i-understand-the-frustrations/

Your revisionist history is quite striking.

 Yeah, if you are rick, you are racist. Obama is rich. Soros is rich as is buffet, Letterman, and all the leftist Hollywood stars.

NOT the Tea Party – who didn’t “occupy” anywhere, and effected major political change using the instruments of civility.

No, it’s the Democrat-supported anarchists of the radical Left that find a syllabus  on the INDOCTRINATION CENTERS of (lol) “higher learning”!

Pathetic!

Ha, you actually think Obama is a liberal?

If Obama was a liberal he would have sought a nationalized health care system.  Instead he passed a mandate that requires citizens to have health insurance, private or government subsidized.

If Obama was a liberal he would have closed down Gitmo.

If Obama was a liberal he wouldn’t have extended the Bush tax cuts.

If Obama was a liberal he’d be a strong supported of gay marriages.

Your current view of history, as maligned as it is, is striking as well.

How many course credits do I get if I organize my own cell to overthrow the government and install a communist dictatorship?

The OWS movement is filled with leeches, squatters and bums…elite leeches, squatters and bums, of course.  pfft!

roosevelt “university” is a joke, with or without an occupy course.

 ”Ha, you actually think Obama is a liberal?”

LMFAO!!
You are quite the joke.

good one!  thanks.

I do think the T-Partee was painted with a very broad brush. Like any movement, it had its share of cretins, malcontents and misanthropes, but it also seem to have such terrible, terrible anger. But, it’s wrong to characterize each and every member in those terms. I then part with you a bit. For reasons I’m not sure any of understand, the T-Partee to have lost its punch, gone into hibernation. During this long, grueling Republican primary process, the T-Partee has not been all that much in evidence. And, that’s not just my opinion. Republican operatives are concerned that Republicans in Congress and in state houses are not going to be able to rely on the T-Partee. So, absent some remarkable resurrection, and this is not the season of resurrections, the T-Partee may be on its way to becoming a footnote.

OWS, however, for all its nastiness, has started a national dialogue which is very much apparent in the Republican primary and will likely be very much a part of our campaign. We are discussing, with some seriousness, the entire issue of fairness in our national life for the first time since Raygun took the oath office and turned off the lights, long, long ago. No candidate, no office holder, including Presidents Clinton and Obama, have bothered turning that light back on. But, on it shall be.

In other words, over the broader scope of history, we may well find the T-Partee sentiments bow to the OWS themes. And, I expected neither the T-Partee  hiatus nor the OWS ascendancy. I welcome both, however.

not very much learning, i’m afraid.

Watch how mad conservatives get over this non-issue.  Not sure why they’d get mad though, it’s not like any of them will go or ever have been to a college or university.

The Tea Party education goes something like this……

“The only three letters I need to know are the U, the S, and the A.” 

 Watch how mad conservatives get over this non-issue.”

Funny, YOU are the one posting so many comments here. YOU are the one who is mad.

I think you hit on something. Durable, effective social movements in America have always looked forward, have always ushered in new ideas. Reactionary periods tend not to long endure, and their ideas often predecease the period itself. OWS is forward looking, whilst the T-Partee period is essentially reactionary.

Indeed. Education is the curse of our nation. All Hail Stupidity! God Bless Ignorance!

nice one..

Good .. college students should know what a DEMOCRACY is all about!

another great post….obama is as MODERATE as it gets…republicans are so crazy

Why, because YOU don’t didn’t go there? Who’s the elitist now?

the media didn’t portray the extremes  of the tea party…thats just how the tea party rolls…a bunch of white rich racists…get your facts straight

 Thanks for the laugh.

You are not recognizing the fact that many Tea- partiers protested besides OWS because they were the first to call for the end of taxation without representation, and more transparency and less big bonuses to corporation.  That is until the OWS was hijacked by communist/socialist/anarchist, the homeless.
OWS was already bowing to the themes of the Tea-Party, only they were drown out by charges of racism, rage and whatever label the MSM could throw on them. 

And liberals wonder why their college degrees are worthless??? LOL.

I have no idea what you just said.

 Ruminants can’t see the forest for the grass.

:)

I love getting old charles mad….  Best part of my day!
He was furious yesterday about MIA’s middle finger, now he’s raging about a college course he’ll never take.

Did you see Lard Limbaugh picking his nose in the owner’s box at the game?

He never graduated from college.

Draw your own conclusion.

the only thing thats funny is the crazy republicans thinking they have more support for their candidate than then dems for obama

no thats the tea party

well said…occupy is shaping this country for the better

such lies…occupy is one of the biggest positive movements changing the dialogue of how our country views the leeches and racists on wall street…while the tea party is just a joke. 

yea I’m sorry you got rejected…

liberals/socialists are better educated than republicans

 Yeah, a major failure. I can see it now the job interview now: Interviewer: “Just what did your major teach you about business organizations.”  Applicant: “It taught me all businesses are evil,greedy, profit-driven leaches.”

Interviewer: “Sorry, we have no openings for someone like you.” 

 I see you are getting mad. Can’t take divergent thoughts, can ya?

 Next time say it in English.

How about a link to an American source? 

He tried but could not get it passed by Congress.
Huh?  He needs to have congress pass the expiration of tax cuts?

And as to your assertion of his Liberalness
He is farther right than Reagan.

Reagan was tougher on gun laws, AND raised taxes how many times?

He is farther right than Reagan.”

Now that’s funny.

“How about a link to an American source? ”

How about Obama in his own words?

I feel your embarrassment.

the major would get them ready to be the next generation of democratic leaders for this country trying to right the republican wrongs

 Prove it.

 Is that why they rely on government for everything? Wow. Who knew?

lol

To be fair, no president who holds up such as the NDAA, typically mundane legislation subject of annual approval, unless it clearly empowers him to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial, can really be described as a ‘liberal.’  He can, however, be solidly associated with modern progressivism.

it’s somewhat important for the use of descriptive terminology to keep pace with the evolution of governing philosophies.  The modern advocative left embraces Obama because they, to, in spite of some surface appearances, are no longer really ‘liberal.’  They’re statist totalitarians in waiting.

 Korean Trevor. I wondered where you crawled to.

This is clearly from the marxist playbook of indoctrination and lying to create a false history.  Instead of the TRUTH (i.e. THE “occupiers” are societal trash and anarchists) the marxist educators will recreate this “Occupy” movement as a movement of peace and liberty. .  . . HOGwash. .it is part of the kenyan’s marxist takeover of this country. .  . Fk the kenyan and his fat ugly wife

You wouldn’t say that if F.D. Roosevelt were around, or you’d say it only once. That cat would kill for me.

He sums you up succinctly.

Don’t play stupid, tea party protesters had homes, jobs and paid for their own transportation and hotels during that movement.  They did not squat on public and private property making a filthy nuisance  of themselves.  Not once was any of their protests deemed to be a danger or health hazard to the public.

Now the Occupy squatters are squatting in other people’s homes:

Those Tea Party folk who went along with OWS should have been better informed then, since OWS wasn’t so much highjacked by communist/socialist/anarchist, as it was organized by them – mainly to counter the Tea Party’s existence.

It’s highly doubtful TRRE would ever ‘recognize’ the facts, though, that you raise, especially considering that he terms the longest period of sustained economic growth in American history as “the lights” being “turned off.”

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just stupid. 

Sorry, I don’t call people names on this site but you’re ‘kenyan’ reference made it impossible for me to speak my opinion.

And please, tell me how this is ‘clearly’ a Marxist strategy and not a strategy promoted by the powers-that-be everywhere throughout the entire history of civilization.

Why don’t you drop your Raygun meme and show the former president the same respect that you would have me show president Obama…  

As far as turning off the lights…  well that is just your interpretation of what economic and governmental policy should be..  you in one form or another support redistribution, even if you do not support outright socialism, your tones suggests that free markets do not distribute income fairly and that there is a need for government to step in.  I would suggest that we have never had truly free markets in this country since near the turn of the century when during the Wilson administration and afterwards the government armed itself with tools with which it felt it could control our economy and guide it on a path which it never really achieved.  

At any rate the Tea Party does not represent any one political philosophy or group…  at one time in the not so distant past it was argued that the Democrats were the party of small government and anti collusion, those words can hardly be used to describe the Democratic Party of today…  The Republican Party portrays itself as the party of low taxes and smaller government today, but I think after looking back on the Bush presidency and paying attention to congress that can hardly be said of the republican party…  Both these issues are what the Tea Party rose up to challenge along with deficit spending that threatens this country’s future by an elitist class of politicians in DC…  the Tea Party folks had a sense that 536 assholes in DC were driving this country over the cliff while refusing to hear the voice of the American people..  For this they have been excoriated by the left as they do tend to believe in remedies for our country that progressives rail against, such as free market solutions, a lack of faith in Keynesian economics, reduced government spending, no more deficits, a real and feasible energy policy, getting the government out of our lives. a fairness in our tax codes… No matter what your side says the fact remains that 1% of Americans pay nearly 40% of all federal income taxes, and the richest 10% pay two-thirds of the tax, yet you still try to employ the meme that the system is somehow unfair to those who pay no income tax….  

One of these days progressives will have to face the devastation that deficit spending wrecks on our economy most unfairly on the working poor followed by the middle class..  Deficits = Inflation, there is no getting around this fact and inflation caused by governments deficit spending is nothing more than a flat tax with no personal deductions or federal credits allowed, it hits us all at the same rate, and it hits hardest those who are just barely making ends meet.  So maybe you could agree to disagree with people like president Reagan while still affording him the respect that he deserves, and I will do the same for president Obama, as the lord knows that I disagree with him on a multitude of issues, but I will still afford to him the respect that he deserves. 

 Now that is indeed funny. Now in Oakland, they are marching to protest the OWSers!

 You are nothing but a whack job.

A “moderate” doesn’t openly profess his desire or seek to fundamentally transform the country.

 MG, I wondered who that whack job was. Thanks- that explains everything.

They certainly aren’t popular out in that bastion of liberaland..SanFran.  Looks like they wore out their welcome:

Poll, Occupy Movement Losing Bay Area Support

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/01/31/cbs-5-poll-occupy-movement-losing-bay-area-support/

Perhaps it just the drum circles, drugs, rapes, refuse, crime, stench, rats that come with them.  lol

Mad?  I got a kick out of your ignorant post.  I laughed at you.  Sheesh, you read it….see if you are capable of recognizing just how stupid your comment is. 

Can’t make this crap up.

There’s the left blessing ignorance and stupidity again.  And no, I don’t take your mockery in the facetious way in which it was intended.  I see it as genuine.

Indeed, centers of higher learning were once boons to our nation before they were taken over by the modern advocative left – as represented by the subject of this article.  Now our country falls further and further behind in a myriad of fields while indebted students are radicalized and taught not to be leaders of society, but to be followers of those in power.

Yes, this is just the sort of “education” the left now defends.  That education which no longer builds towards success, but slouches towards mediocrity, teaching our youth to be little better than propagandized street thugs.

College isn’t necessary for all….Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Rush Limbaugh.  Why don’t we just compare their incomes to yours.  Got your W-2′s handy?

Couldn’t prove that using you as an example.

“Ronnie Rayguns” is an old appellation applied by those who were opposed to pressures being brought to bear on the Soviet Union, most conspicuously in the form of the SDI “Star Wars” initiative (which was more a propaganda ploy designed to encourage the indebted communist country with a creaking economy to waste huge sums of money on defense spending than an actual program) – you typically see it used nowadays only from those disappointed in the results of the Cold War.  Such explains why those folk cry to the rafters over deficits incurred under Reagan, yet utter nary a peep to those far more egregious sums being racked up today.

I was wrong about Country Joe, the meme was used to introduce Joan Baez’s singing of  ”Drug Store Truck Drivin Man” at Woodstock it has been around for sometime.  But the whole star wars things makes sense, I am just tired of folks asking that respect be shown to our president while at the same time showing contempt for conservatives deserving the same respect.  I guess it probably bugs me because I really do restrain myself in comments that I make when referring to president Obama…

Nice find.  Here’s another version, without the Spanish overdub.  They quite evidently had it in for him for some time and well explains how they had a ready made name for him to fit the new narrative.  Retread opposition to his willingness to confront an enemy of the United States; a not-coincidental, running theme to the far left.

I get your gripe as that’s how I conduct myself as well.  But don’t expect consideration in kind.  There are enough on the other side who believe using “Obummer” or some such adds something to the discussion for leftists to feel justified in their (TREE’s, specifically) continued hypocrisy.

No. They are not. The very fact that they ARE liberals/socialist proves that they are NOT better educated than Republicans.

“We support an economic theory that has failed everywhere it has been implemented and yet we still support it. We’re BRILLIANT!!!!”

Great I guess

Chapter 4 the political statement of raping 15 year old runaway girls.

Sure pick on the 1%percenter… It cant be easy to make that many millions on radio… Stupi ass Rush prolly wishes he went to college.

Were not gonna get mad, OWS is so irrelevant and amusing. These people are ajoke and we dont bother hating them.

Youre too late fool.

That’s your fault, then. 

He’s making a fool out of you, though. So I bet Umadbro

Mediaite, you left out this:

 Roosevelt University is a coeducational, private university with campuses in Chicago, Illinois and Schaumburg, Illinois.

 The university’s curriculum is based on principles of social justice.”

Yep, it’s a socialist university.

THE MAYANS WERE RIGHT, THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!!!

You really have a low standard for what you consider education, huh?

No, because it’s a second-rate research university. It has modeled itself off of the paradigms of our fraudulent system of higher-ed (basically the Ivies), but it has suckier teachers.

Whining, living in filth, and assaulting people and property? Who knew I was wrong about democracy this whole time…

Dennis Miller said it well:

“There are some people who want to do something about everything, but they are so useless they end up doing nothing about anything. What they really just want is free rent.”

I notice “trre” tends to lean toward things that seem to be french. Socialists.Communists. They can always to be counted on to surrender, and then beg for someone to save their butts, and country. They do make good cheese and whine. Seems if history is correct,we saved their butts and country twice for them. At a huge cost of American lives. We should have made them a state. 
I was told, if one does not learn from history, one is bound to repeat it. That is, if the lesson doesn’t kill him. 
Socialism doesn’t work. Period. It was proven when the mayflower landed and they decided to “Create a body politik”. All would toil, all proceeds from the toil would be put in a common store,and all could draw from it, according to their needs. Most of the pilgrims died that first year, due to the ravages of human nature. They then decided it would be better to toil each unto his own, and barter for variety. At the end of the second year, they were able to have a feast and invite the indiginous people. The “indians” showed them the benefits of fertilization at a later time. How simple a lesson. Too bad historians were allowed to modify it.
The TEA Party is based on the ideal of smaller government, less taxation. I agree with the basic concept. They seem to have been well organized, and well behaved. I sincerely hope they stick around and spread their message further.
OWS, it seems, is backed by the left, and are unorganized, nasty, unruly, uneducated and have no solution to the “problem” they insist exists. If I work within the existing system, earn what my toil is worth to both myself,and my employer, pay the taxes due the governments based on the tax code, I see no reason for me to pay another cent. If they want to change the system, they should go home, become congressmen or senators from their respective districts, and change the law from within. That’s how we do it in America.
