And what does this have to do with the Tea Party? I believe I’m missing that point?
For me, it is that I do not desire to be a hypocrit. I remember still the broad brush that the media painted Tea Party protest, with photographs of signs bearing offensive and extreme slogans. I refused to color the Tea Party based on the most extreme within the group. While the Tea Party and this latest movement are very different in many respects, I reject any attempt on the part of the media to characterize the movement based on the most extreme in the group. A suicide in NH does not equate to chaos and violence. The later may come, and I still disagree with pretty much everything OCW believes, but I see no need to engage in propaganda.
 
I see no need to engage in propaganda.
Nor do I, and that includes the Tea-Party.

Is just plain dirty out here today. Whenever you think; Well it can’t get worse? They stoop to a new low.

I pretty much stick with the BBC. C-Span and EWTN for Catholic News today.

I know what you mean. For years, I stuck with Fox, but now that too requires a political filter. More to the point, any commercial media requires that one filter for sensationalism. The old joke is that what used to be called yellow journalism has now been shortened to just “journalism”.

I am concerned how these protest will eventually play out.
 
And isn’t it ironic that the same people who distrust the media, accept anything reported about the OWS as near gospel truth? 😃

Jim
Well … it should be fairly clear that …
There is a world of difference between Chris Matthews spinning one of his sideways remarks and a Judge setting bail at a Million dollars on an occupier that fire bombs a Federal building
 
“we” are always as human beings on edge of anarchy ! God help us and save us !!

Have you any evidence that the media reports about the level of violence and disruption and police confrontations are not being correctly reported?

Yeah, the two recent shootings in Vermont and Oakland, have nothing to do with the OWS protest.

I can tell you how they’ll play out. The weather is going to get cold, and when the temperature drops below freezing every night and the wind starts driving snow and sleet into their faces every day, the protesters are all going to pack up and go home.

There’s not a single one of them that has what it takes to re-enact Valley Forge, trust me.
 
Everyone else. Lets get over this j333 guy. Ignore him. Communism=bad. We all know that. hasn’t worked for one society anywhere in the world to date. We read the book in highschool. He is not going to change his attack on the values we hold dear.
:D:D My dear brother, i won’t go away. :console: don’t be afraid of what im proposing. i won’t impose and force my own version of communism on you if you don’t like it. but do know that if people are not ready to relinquish their wealth/money/goods and give them to the poor and surrender themselves to jesus christ(god the father, god the son, god the holy spirit), then they are probably not ready to go to heaven.

my intentions are all good. now i question other people’s intentions here who posts negative articles on OWS taking on a conservative side(or just pretending). it causes division. people can hold on their values as long as they want(capitalism) but do they think/question how their wealth is acquired? was it from stealing from poor nations??? slavery??? colonization??? war??? cheap labor??? they say they got them from working hard, sure it’s true, but the thing with capitalism is that you have to keep chasing the money to work. would you move and chase the money to china( where most of the dollars are going) and india to work? most of the corporations are going there capitalizing on cheap labor. would you move there and accept cheap labor just like the illegal immigrants who work hard to grow and harvest the very food you eat at your table?

i do sincerely care. the people protesting, whether they be rich or poor, conservatives or liberals, democrats/republicans, etc… are trying very hard to change our system for the people of the united states and maybe even the world. they are not our enemy. they are our brothers and sisters. can you see jesus in them??? our enemy is the devil and the other evil spirits.

on that note, calling all true catholics and St. Isidore of Seville(parton saint of the internet)everyone else to pray,

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world(and in this forum and internet) seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

:signofcross::signofcross::signofcross:
don’t be afraid. whatever form of government we are under, always trust in jesus christ who is always with us. :amen: God bless everyone. i mean no harm and sorry if my posts offend anyone. pray for me and i will pray for you…

We can always hope they do. 👍

Except it happened at the Oakland encampment where they have driven off police protection. Then one of the “Occupiers” attacked a reporter for covering the murder.
 
I have no idea why I am the recipient of your animosity, friend; but if you want to know what I believe, go read the Nicene Creed. I believe every word.
:):):)the terms you use(fallen nature) and alternative explanations about Eve eating forbidden fruit is rather weird. and i can ask the same way about the flag u use on me? while most people here use religious flags, u chosed a political flag. did you not read the last statement that im also a loving person?

LET US BOTH PRAY. FOR YOU AND ME AND FOR OUR BROTHERS/SISTERS WHO ARE PROTESTING THAT IT WOULD BECOME PEACEFUL. "HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE THE LORD IS WITH THEE, BLESSED ART THOU AMONGST WOMEN AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB JESUS. HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH, AMEN.

The news here said that the shooting in Oakland wasn’t a protestor or anything. However, the police are saying that the protest provided the perfect cover for the shooting. That’s why the Oakland one is being told to leave.
 
Generally when I am looking through mail, I throw out those that use typeface and color so glaringly to capture my attention.

Most of the time it is junk mail.

And I must confess that I am treating posts here that way as well.
Exactly. Bold, colour, exclamation marks (especially multiple ones) are a give away.
 
Politically and economically speaking, the quickest way to disarm the devil is to dismantle the monetary system in the whole world and to start giving your goods to poor people/nations.

Spiritually speaking, TO CRUSH THE HEAD OF THE DEVIL, you recite and meditate slowly…

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE, THE LORD IS WITH THEE, BLESSED ART THOU AMONGST WOMEN, AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB JESUS. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH. AMEN.

My fellow brothers and sisters in JESUS CHRIST, the one who was born of the Virgin Mary, be careful reading posts by the MOONISTS, followers of Sun Myung Moon. They are lurking on these forums. They are brainwashed and will brainwash you as well. They will try to divide Conservative VS Liberal and politicize our Catholic Faith. Let us Pray to Jesus(God the father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit) and Mother Mary, Holy Saints, and Holy angles to protect and guide us to drive out all the devil and evil spirits.

Pray for PEACE for the protesters(TEA PARTY/OWS)!!! :signofcross::highprayer::signofcross:
 
Nobody should contact the police? I guess not–that might interfere with the anarchy.
