Occupy Wall Street, The Tea Party And Others!

It is Saturday and so it is time for my running off at the keyboard post. Did you notice the Tea Party is showing up again and this time they want to confront the Occupy Wall Street group. Are they coming out for fear that people will identify more with the OWS people, which they will, or just because they are jealous they are no longer getting the media attention? The OWS group is not allowing the politicians and corporate money, jade this movement. The Tea Party made a big mistake when they let crooks, like Dick Armey, Carl Rove and the Koch Brothers corrupt their initial platform. I hope the OWS movement continues to befuddle the elite and politicians. Remember the old phrase, "Keep them guessing, it only worries the hell out of them." At this time the movement is picking up steam around the world. This is starting to pass the movement phase and starting to become a real force for change.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was officially dedicated today. People should remember that Dr. King was not just a civil rights leader, but a leader in the fight against inequities and poverty. He would have been front and center in the fight today to bring Wall Street and the elite back in line with the rest of the nation.

I wish someone could answer this for me. Why are the conservatives, religious right and elite always talking about their Christianity? Jesus was a rebel in his day. He spend most of his time with sinners, the poor and the weakest among us at that time. He fought against the establishment and taught the principle of helping and caring for our fellow men and women. I hate to tell the Anglos that have pictures of Christ, like I grew up with, he was not blonde haired and blue eyed. He was definitely brown skinned and dark eyes. He was the exact opposite of how everyone wants to portray him and yet they invoke his name at every turn. Maybe they are  Christians in name only.

Finally, for today. Have you seen the commercial, that is telling us about how easy it is to get postage and mail everything by Internet? The guy at the beginning said, "Is there anything worse then standing in line at the post office?" Yes, I could think of a lot of things worse. A partial list for me would be, death, cancer, lack of education, lack of jobs, lack of access to quality health care, natural disasters, fires, your favorite team losing, traffic accidents, traffic jams, being hungry, being thirsty, having to use the bathroom and there is none close by and probably the worst, having to listen to another Republican debate. This list was not meant to be all inclusive. I believe this commercial shows how companies and the government feel, that our problems are so small that the worst thing we could think of is standing in a line at the post office. How more out of touch can they get?
