    Only catch – getting “back” to work implies the occupy cretin have a some point had meaningful employment.

    Just get to work, lame brains.

    It would be interestig to see how many of the OWS protestors would stay if they were fed a steady diet of MRE’s and water from plastic canteens.

    You make a good point here, Patriot, and it leads me to this…

    They perhaps should send some military recruiters down to OWS and sign some of them up. Make it sound really really good. Then get them to boot camp and shape them up. If they don’t pass muster, call their Mommies to come and get them.

    The military is not different from the rest of the population in that their political beliefs differ. Just because this small group of soldiers aren’t fans of the Occupy movement doesn’t mean that ALL troops are against it, as so many who posted here are trying to imply.

    One or two vets does not a trend make.
    The vast majority of our military wouldn’t be seen anywhere near these lice-ridden scum.

    Compare and Contrast –

    Age:
    Military – 28
    OWS – Hard to tell, are we talking maturity?

    Racial makeup: Military – White 70.3%, African American 17%, Hispanic 10.4%
    OWS – A whole lot of (dirty) white faces.

    Education:
    Military – High school grad/GED/some college 80.2%, Bachelor degree 11.8%, Advanced degree 6.1%
    OWS – Whatever level they got, they should ask for their money back.

    Marital status:
    Military – 53.1% married
    OWS – “That means a commitment, right?”

    Religion:
    Military – Chaplains support over 100 different faiths, Christian being prominent.
    OWS – Athesist, agnostic, druid, global warming and occasional small groups of Muslims praying for photo-ops.

    Band makeup:
    Military – Bugles, Trombones, Horns, Clarinets, Bassoons, Flutes, Piccolos, Saxophones, Marching Percussion, Trumpets, Flugelhorns, Cornets, Saxhorns, baritone, alto horns, Sousaphones, and Contrabass bugles
    OWS – Drums, nothing but the constant beating of those damn drums

    Sort of. But the “…and get back to work” part of the sign seems to imply that the “occupiers” had any notion of “work” to get back to. One suspects that these parlor pinks would attack a job search with the same vigor that they invest into actually overthrowing Capitalism.

    little Barry sends letter of condolence to rapper’s funeral…
    But not to dead border agent Brian Terry’s family.

    I hope that Black Americans, particularly those that voted for “hope and change” are awake enough to realize that the primrose path Barry promised has failed to materialize. The August unemployment for Black males was 19.1 percent, for Black females 14.5 percent. The real unemployment figures are probably even higher then that. A few words of condolence over a rapper who Barry most likely doesn’t likely give a rats rear end about shouldn’t sway Black voters to keep Barry in office; his real accomplishment are practically nil but he is masterful at speechifying.

    Somehow those don’t look like a pile of U.N. Resolutions the troops are holding and strapping on. Don’t look much like Comrade Obama speeches either.

    As the Good Comrade gets ready to bail from Afghanistan and Iraq. I hope our Military has been able to train, teach, and inspire enough real military in those countries to guarantee freedom for their people. The real guardians are leaving–and the Iranian / Jihadi wolves are licking their chops over their next meals. Terrorists or Mookie’s army with Iraq’s oil wealth will be formidable foes if they can take over when we cut and run.

    Ladies and Gentlemen (and the rest of ya scum)… you are missing the big point on this! A ex-military guy was injured in the “protest”. Now we (the 99%) have the MSM.

    If the actual working military (other than those discharged with cause) don’t fall in line… well we expected that. Damn facists anyway.

    These biatches burn my buns.

    They want to play army until they find out the cost. They want to curse the cops until they need them.

    They want respect they have not earned. The biggest question I have for these people is what have YOU actually done to deserve these “rights” that you declare?

    Burns my a$$. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

    Whining and smoking dope/raping the ho next tent over/ stole the dumbass’s laptop/ is that it?

    If the occupy crowd can sober up before the election you can be sure that obummer and biden will see to it that their votes count at least once (as well as those currently serving time in prison). Our military who are fighting to protect and preserve our freedom however will no doubt find that once again their ballots were sent out to late to be able to be counted. It has happpened before and I can easily see it happening again.

    Is it a political position? The shtick behind the Poopstock Brigade is that they’re “the 99%”, which suggests to me like they’re insisting that their movement isn’t political.

    All I’m saying is if that’s the game they want to play, then it cuts both ways.
