You have to wonder why "the organizers" have consistently refused to stand up and identify themselves and put forward their grievances for discussion with those opposed to the tactics being used. Is it possible that "the organizers" know their truth motivation is to further their personal goals. No brown shirts and jackboots for this current group of manipulators.
Five reasons why Occupy failed
As Occupy camps across North America appear to be in their death throes, tt’s hard to see what the Occupy movement has gained, other than considerable attention. Scott Stinson considers why that might be...
Capitalism’s spoiled children
Rex Murphy Nov 19, 2011 – 12:14 PM ET
The Occupy movement does not represent “the 99%,” as its defenders like to claim. They are not a cadre speaking up for the vast proportion of the population against the tyranny or greed of an imagined “1%.” Judging from the speakers I have seen and heard, either on news broadcasts or the multiple sites offering live-broadcast or YouTube coverage, the people in the various Occupy camps represent a petty sub-sample of the hard left; i.e., a range of angry students, homeless and their advocates, and – not insignificantly – some just outright strange people. Like the guy who asked for a moment of silence in “solidarity” with the man who earlier in the week fired shots at the White House and is now charged with trying to assassinate President Obama. The real 99% are surely not looking for solidarity with a potential assassin.

Minor Point Rex But It Is Not OUR COUNTRY...
...but a multitude of immigrant enclaves who enjoy our "freedoms" and social programs but passionately adhere to their "heritage" and ties with their "homeland." IMHO they probably support the concept of seperation. Hopefully they will reciprocate when WASPs become a minority.
Rex Murphy: Our country’s un-loyal leader of the opposition
In our political system, the leader of the Opposition holds a cardinal position: She is the second most important member of parliament. In the case of constitutional deadlock or crisis, the opposition leader is the first who may be called upon to become Prime Minister. An Opposition leader doesn’t merely decorate the other side of the House while waiting for an election to happen. That’s why his or her party is often referred to as the government-in-waiting.
It should therefore be beyond all contention that Her Majesty’s Loyal Leader of the Opposition be committed to the nation, and to the Parliament of the nation in which that leader sits. Indeed, I’d argue that the deepest and highest passion for the good of the country you aspire to lead is the very principal qualification for anyone, anytime, seeking office.
I’d argue, in other words, for unclouded, unashamed, stamp-your-feet and wave-the-flag patriotism in all our politicians. There is nothing new or outré or excessive in such thoughts. Till our hip and ironic age, they were right out of the Politics Primer — love your country and do it honour was Grade 1 civics. Read More »

Have your say on immigration — and don’t be shy: half the country admits to agreeing that we let in too many foreigners (and half of the remaining half are too sucky or brainwashed to say otherwise.)
