In his article he pulls no punches. I too am upset when I see the typicsl MoveOn banner visible at an occupation. They are but one more 'liberal' front that just tries to make the people feel good while they swallow a bitter pill. Either of the parties can say anything that will sway this movement. Obama holds little credibility with the movement. Republicans are considered the enemy, and so are their corporate masters. We the people need to remember the path of Martin Luther King. He was betrayed, the system fought him, but he kept the faith, kept the fight, and won some big victories. But power did not quit either, ultimately taking his life. That was the price he paid for the gains he made. There will be some who pay that price, the struggle isn't going to be easy, or quick. As some are quick to say Freedom isn't free.
