Its just poor christians who are feeling disenfranchised because there are other people in this country who celebrate other holidays around this time. Besides, historically, its not really even a christian holiday, and it wasnt always called christmas anyway. Who really cares what you call it? The christians bastardized the holiday long long ago, and now THEYRE upset? The only people in the war on christmas is the people saying theres a legitimate war on christmas.

I find it horrible when anyone tries to relate peaceful protestors to fundamentalist Islamic radicals who actually terrorize and kill innocent people. I also find it horrible that THATS the only leg he tried to stand on, even though its not a real leg. LOL. And yes, no one can deny the fact that the police have incited more violence with the occupy movement than they did with the Tea Party movement, probably because the Tea Party never gained near the support the Occupy movement did. Funny...

As many times as this has been discussed, I figured you would've gotten this by now. The 99% not at all like the 10%. The 99% is a mathematical figure in which YOU and everyone on this forum are included (unless you happen to make more than $500k/yr) If you make more than that, you are not the 99%, if you make less, then you are. The occupy movement is about getting money out of politics and ending corporate personhood, If THAT doesn't speak for you than thats your prerogative. Those are the facts. "Laziness" "Handouts" "hippies" "free free free" et cetera are ONLY opinions
