I dropped by as the Occupy Houston protestors were gathering outside City Hall Thursday morning. The Occupy Wall Street protests have gone global, and when I arrived in Austin later in the day, a similar one was going on there, too. In Houston, the gathering garnered a lot of drum beating and chanting and people holding signs calling for everything from the repeal of Supreme Court decisions to eliminating the Federal Reserve. One sign even said “recycle the rich.”
Christopher Keeble, though, seemed a little out of place. He was wearing a tie and holding a sign that read “I 3 Capitalism.” It caught my attention, since the Occupy movement has been billed as some sort of liberal Tea Party.
Yet Keeble wasn’t a counter-protester amid the throng. Keeble, who told me he works in sales, said he came to the protest because he wanted to fight the perception that it was some sort of socialist gathering. In fact, it’s his love of capitalism that caused him to show up.
“Capitalism isn’t the problem,” he said. “Capitalism is being destroyed from within.”

Nobody thinks you are a real person quantum monkey butt, go away.
Crash these OWS rallies with a Ron Paul mask and a pro capitalism sign in front of the cameras. They will have to edit you out if they want to depict these gatherings as a socialist thing.

Why crash the OWS rallies? Why not join in and fight against vested interests, out of control banks, a government that does not regulate criminal corporations.
More than a fair number of you rightwing extremists howled at the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and Halliburton was up to its neck in that mess, yet you are against government regulations.
Demonstrating and fighting for your right is socialism. You confuse socialism with communism and capitalism with fascism.
There is no capitalism in the US; you have fascism where the state subsidises corporations and bails out banks with tax payer money. When has a bank bailed out a citizen in trouble?
The mind is a field. Take a bunch of flower seeds and throw them in a field and all different flowers will spring forth. The problem is, as it’s growing, you’ll not know which are flowers and which are weeds ? As they grow, you will be able to discern. Leave the weeds to grow and they will kill the flowers, and in which you will destroy the field.
This is exactly what happened to the death sentence passed down onto the corrupted mind that killed the “rag-head” gasoline station owner in Texas or was it Arizona ? The mind (field) was allowed to grow corrupted via the government (leadership), when the orchestrated pandemonium came down during 9-11, he lost his sense of right from wrong, and later the field (mind) was destroyed by the government. Who’s fault was this ? Why did he kill an innocent man, only to find himself being killed ?
The word “rag-head” didn’t come from Islamic countries, it came from here, the U.S. of A. ? Our media allowed that term to be spread out across the country so as to orchestrate a terrible tragedy (9-11) ! It was a term to swindle money from out of the Treasury, which is by in large: A Capital Offense ! And yet, it goes unpunished ? Instead, the many against the few is played against this one man who committed a capital offense ! ?
Capitalism is not the problem, the Socialist mind-set of our Government along with the Federal Reserve IS ! THINK !
“Capitalism isn’t the problem,”
Well no it isn’t “The” problem, but anyone that means to say Capitalism isn’t “A” problem is just as misguided as the Socialist. Capitalism spawned Corporatism and Corporatism is bringing about Neofudalism (A.K.A the New World Order). Capitalism is based on greed, greed is evil. Capitalism rewards corruption and punishes decency. We can argue it is necessary evil, but that dose not absolve Capitalism of being a system of managed Evil.
No, Capitalism is a terrible way to run a society. It’s only attribute is it’s slightly better than Socialism which seeks to oppress the minority for the benefit of the majority, but which in the end fails both.
QMD I 3 turn the 3 on it’s side so the 3 is on top…..it looks like a Heart so it means ‘I heart Capitalism’ or in plain English it means ‘I love capitalism’…..
Now on another note, 20to one odds and they are still staying peaceful, how much longer will they if the police keep this crap up?
