They were outplayed by the Minnesota Vikings in that game, who by all rights SHOULD have won and went on to the Super Bowl, if not for the fact Brett Favre had the holy crap kicked out of him in that game due to the cheap shots and illegal tackles....if all other teams in the NFL are expected to play by the "rules" then the Saints should have as well, and they should be severely penalized for not doing that.

Infrastructure, emergency services, and military I can support.....no probems with that.....the problem is with the waste and corruption....you know, the 200 dollar hammer.....the "blow your budget by the end of the fiscal year" policy.....or my favorite, the "exchange your food stamp card for Heroin" government program.....awesome.

They are the reason companies will continue to move away from Liberal-Controlled states like Washington and Oregon. The "Occupy" movement is pretty much exclusively a Liberal group.....sooo, it's like they are angry because their own policies aren't working......or, this was their plan all along.....to collapse our economy to start a "revolution"....which would be far more nefarious. Want to better yourself? Stop voting for these same fools over and over again and expect "change". Stop being angry at what others are doing and work to make things happen for yourself, don't wait for a handout.

Yea, if it's death you want....that would do it.....cause what you would suggest would be one hell of a bloody battle.....would make the civil war look like a playground squabble. Oh, please be informed, the United States of America was founded for one reason---FREEDOM. One cannot be free if he is forced to take care of everybody else. Tired of "getting the shaft"? Then get off your duff and do something about it! Like, get a job, go to school....do something to better "yourself" and stop complaining.

Don't give me that "We want to bring attention to all the poor while CEO's live high on the hog" crap. No, really....when it is all said and done.....what is it you want? A Fascist dictatorship? A communist iron-fisted rule where all the "poor" are equal while the government class still sits high? This movement seems grossly ill-informed of reality. When it's all said and done....all occupy does is continue to hurt the poor. Lots of small business and truck drivers depend on being able to work those ports and recieve product.....the only people you are hurting is the little guy....the rich are still gonna be rich. Wake up and take in some reality! Your movement is getting OLD!

I wonder what the "Occupy" crowd would be saying if the Tea Party was still there and was trashing our parks.
