    The Occupy movement is less than a year old, give it time.

    Nobody takes you seriously cause your head is so far up the Democrat party's ass that if Obama farts your head turns brown. When you're wondering.

    Zag, I'm now convinced you're just trolling.

    There's no way you're that stupid to equate militias - with a proven history of violence - to the OWS movement.

    What is at the heart of both movements? It is a perverted sense of idealism - the only difference is one group is anti-government, the other is anti-capitalism and both have become menaces to society.

    But I don't have to walk past a smelly compound in the Idaho woods to get to my office - I do have to walk past (or did, thank god they were sent packing) a smelly compound, one that has had a rodent problem and one that turned into a hazard because they were using those gas heaters to try and heat the tents.

    So while one group has killed more people, that doesn't make them much different, other than you idealogically line up with the goals of one and not the other.

    I am in no way condoning the violence of militias nor am I excusing what they do nor am I saying that they stand for the right things - all I am saying is the idea that you think they are different than fanatics on your side of the aisle is just being dishonest.

    Yeah, exactly the same as the Occupy movement.

    Nope.

    If violence as a means to an end is the foundational philosophy of one of those two extremes but not the other, then they are not alike. They are not comparable. They are not equivalent.

    Can't we all agree that whoever is killed, it's better if Americans are the killers?

    It's scarier, because it's harder to defend ourselves from ourselves.
