A little truer to the suspected ideological participation, this Kucinich supporter (a last thing he mentioned after the camera was off) might better fit the framing of what OWS is. However, each of the folks I spoke to were not unreasonable, and this particular man was a little more concerned about being careful who he talks to, probably to avoid being misrepresented.  I can respect that.

This event by the way, was promoted through an email blast by the local Democrat party.

The Occupy Detroit group -- inspired by the protests on Wall Street seeking social, political and economic change -- plans to meet at 4 p.m. today at the Spirit of Detroit statute on Woodward. The group will march to Grand Circus Park at 6 p.m. and then occupy the area with sit-ins, pickets and other forms of protest.

Among those who plan to participate is Darlene Westfall, a Detroit Public Schools special education teacher.

"I've been teaching for 30 years and I have been considering getting another job because I can't make ends meet," said Westfall, a Westland resident. "I am getting the same salary I got in the mid-'90s. Something is not right."

Take your pick whom might be more radical.

In the editorial, Nolan calls them out as the radicals more aligned with the "sympathetic" administration of Barack Obama who as a matter of course ignored the millions of Tea Party types arguing for a return to limited government.  He notes as "odd" the disparity in acknowledgment between those two groups.  And as 'peace loving' lib-tards go, the occupy crowd doe not disappoint. Nolan closes with:

"State lawmakers in New York have received emails reportedly connected to Occupy Wall Street containing this cheery call to action: "It's time to kill the wealthy."

I haven't taken a poll, but my hunch is more Americans relate to "cut the spending" than to "kill the wealthy."

That's why I'm eager to see this freak show arrive in Detroit."

It'll be informative for voters to compare the American protesters Barack Obama sympathizes with to those he despises.

Obamunism:  (noun - portmanteau of "Obama" and "Communism")

1. A theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.  (Obamunism advocates transfer of wealth from the productive to the reproductive.)

2. A political philosophy characterized by income and wealth redistribution, massive deficit spending, debasement of the currency, and world empire; noted for its leader's supreme arrogance and ineptitude.  (Due to recent government bailouts, the country is moving quickly towards Obamunism.)

3. The high-tax, big government, economic growth-killing, centrally planned economic regime favored by Barack Hussein Obama; essentially the same as Communism and Socialism.  (Obamunism is exactly like socialism except it is newer, shinier, and less icky sounding.)

Don't think for a second that the Tea Party Protest back on 27 February was the only one.  Nope, that was just the opening act.  The New Patriot Revolution is tracking several in-state follow-up protests; all leading up to the next National Tea Party Protest scheduled, fittingly, for our great national anti-holiday, April 15th.
