She told me that one day she had to go to the part of the campus where the protests are, and I was so upset. She's totally innocent, but that's no protection. I thank God she's about to leave town for a month. Maybe things will settle down before she returns. Buzz McKeon has no right saying that the students are opposed to the military and that they're a bunch of spoiled brats. He obviously has no clue how hard some people work to obtain an education, and he definitely twists the reason for the protests.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-52847955079516962562011-12-14T02:09:19.849-05:002011-12-14T02:09:19.849-05:00LOLA, I agree and wish everyone would really stop ...LOLA, I agree and wish everyone would really stop and think before hitting copy and paste.

People are protesting because the Have Nots have so very little compared to the Haves. The Haves are the 1% -- NOT the military. The protesters are not there to protest against the military. A couple of anti-military comments does not a protest make. I resent McKeon's dishonesty and his attempt to draw a conclusion where there is none. And I don't like having my baby lumped in with a group that doesn't even exist.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-77143434486338715762011-12-13T16:48:55.716-05:002011-12-13T16:48:55.716-05:00I think that dickwad should be reminded that those...I think that dickwad should be reminded that those spoiled brat protesters are able to protest without being shot at because of the 1%. They are the first of the 'everyone gets a trophy' generation. They have been give everything by their parents or the government all their life and have never had to face the hard fact that life is hell. You have to work to get what you want. Not cry and pout and expect the government to give it to you. Besides, the instigators have been identified as communist anyway.

I work hard and may have to sacrifice some fancy shoes or a dinner at a post restaurant with friends, but I'm paying for my school.

It's political and dishonest. McKeon is a master politician. Everything he said is true, but you'll notice he didn't quite say that the 99% is at odds with HIS 1%. He just discussed two separate topics and allowed us to assume a connection. <br /><br />If a couple of retarded anti-military professors remotely associate themselves with the occupiers, the occupiers obviously agree with them. OMG! OWS hates the military!<br /><br />This is called a logical fallacy, but we fall for it every time. That way, instead of analyzing real issues, we all get riled up and "Take A Stand" for our percent. Anyone who contradicts us must be a "Them."<br /><br />By using this tactic, McKeon has shown himself to be a textbook example of a "purveyor of power," not because he's military, but because he has something to gain from muddying the waters. We all have buttons, and politicians know haw to push them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896718673192738974noreply@blogger.com
