Whatever happens from this point forward, I hold President Obama personally responsible because it was his class warfare tactics that led to all this.
You own it, Mr. President!

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (I) decision to evict Occupy Wall Street protesters from a Lower Manhattan park is a blow to free speech, several House Democrats said.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, warned that in preventing protesters from camping out in Zuccotti Park, the city has “effectively removed [the protesters’] ability to be there 24/7.”
“The concern to me was that the occupiers can stay there but cannot set up permanent location, which kind of begs the question of, ‘Are they gonna have a daytime presence and then be gone [at night]?’
“I wish there would have been something done to accommodate the ability for them to stay there for the duration.”
While a few Democrats acknowledged that Bloomberg had a responsibility to ensure the safety and health of those in the park, others offered support for the demonstrators and concern that the mayor was going too far.
“I’m afraid that what the mayor says is temporary may tend to be permanent as they put up more restrictions,” said Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.). “I’m very cautious [because] I’m very supportive of [the protesters], and if the city doesn’t keep its word [I’ll] have a lot more [to say].”

I can’t think of any other way of saying this, but these Democrats are bunch of idiots. The Occupiers had their free speech for nearly three months. But, the rights of the neighbors and surrounds businesses count too. I work three blocks from Zuccotti Park, and I can attest that the place smelled of SHIT and URINE. There had been assaults, thefts and even a damn rape. And these moronic Democrats want to ignore all that?
No one is taking the rights of speech or assembly away. But, after a time you have to leave and go home . The Constitution doesn’t allow the right to illegally take over a private or public space and make it a dwelling and call it free speech and flaunt other rights and laws.
