After the regime change (with an perestroika communist, Iliescu), there was a demonstration in the capital for about 4-5 months, until the police and the miners from another city destroyed the demonstration. The TeVe was showing and explaining the same arguments as Fox News about the demonstrators:<br /><br />no idea about what they want<br />a lot of naked people<br />they are agitators<br />they occupied a space for business, so they are in fact destroying a fragile economy<br /><br />My point being that why is this a menace for the society? Why is this demonstration with good will (no violence) , a menace to the right?<br />Why this presumption that the demonstrators are agitators that want socialism?<br /><br />Maybe and probably the demonstrators dont know what they are doing, but it seems to me the arguments against them are the same arguments used in communist countries against demonstrators, go figure that....Popescunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6743642295023072272011-10-11T06:05:36.791-07:002011-10-11T06:05:36.791-07:00It is actually becoming "The theater of the a...It is actually becoming "The theater of the absurd." What with "rent a thug" on Craigslist, the poor treatment of John Lewis, the complexion of the protesters, the lack of any organized ideas which allows the unions to co-opt what is for the most part college age kids having a good time, the overt anti-semitism, et al. It takes on a sort of "Keystone Kops" feeling. <br />Never mind that this is just a distraction to keep the electorate from realizing how incompetent and venal Obama is as a president. I suspect that the Governor of NC actually let the cat out of the bag when suggesting that elections be delayed until the economy is fixed. What better way than create a seemingly large outpouring of violence to declare martial law and delay elections. This has Alinsky and White House collusion written all over it given the lack of seriousness of the vast majority of protesters and the funding.<br />There is a part of me that says anything that lessens NYC's affect on the rest of the country is good. Now if it expands on both coasts and to every "blue" city that might be good for the health of the country.<br />Does anyone actually think that the rest of us are not going to make these actions pay at the ballot box? This is where one does not stop the opposition from doing damage to itself.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.com
