OWS GLOM ONTO SUFFRAGISTS

I watched "Iron Jawed Angels," and saw how the demonstrators for the Right to Vote were spat upon and abused by their fellow citizens. For Eleanore Clift, of Newsweek, the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations merit favorable equation with those Sisters, who, having supported the Abolitionist Cause, found that the very rights men gave themselves were denied Women. I don't want to get into a hissing exchange with Clift, but her taking Pat Buchannan to task over predicting that the OWS will end very, very badly and Obama's connection to them will, in turn, harm him centered on blame. Clift used a tone with Pat that leads me to surmise that the police and elected officials charged with Public Safety, decency and tranquility in Oakland, California were to "blame" for the tear-gassing and injuries to the participants. I learned this lesson the first time I was robbed in Savannah and had it re-inforced by my colleagues at American Security Insurance in Atlanta: If you go to a place where the trouble-makers are gathering, looking for trouble, and you get into trouble, it's YOUR FAULT for being there. So, Ellie, stick it where the Sun don't shine. It is the OWS demonstrators whose fault it is! They don't have enough sense to leave when advised of impending confrontation. Your first message is out there. Go home. Get a Job. Work, preferably within the system, and be the next "Street." It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the jobless camping out with a chip on their shoulder aren't protesting joblessness: it's the income they want. The sympathetic Obama can relate. It wasn't the JOB of president he so ruthlessly persued: he wanted the POSITION, the perks and the fame...too bad he didn't read enough history to understand that his historic election was the result of eliminating his competition rather than rising to the challenge. One other thing I learned at American Security: people working together, exchanging and advancing their debate is progressive. People standing pat, irrationally defending a "going nowhere" status quo and being everything against which they campaigned may get their way, but they just foster yet another demonstration of displeasure with the results. Like Tanya Harding eliminating her competition via thuggish supporters whacking Nancy Kerrigan, the door opens for the Orphan, Oksana, to skate off with the gold. Gather your skirts, Elles, the
Women's Rights The progressives were successful in reforming the social and political problems in America because many women such as Susan Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton, Alice Paul and Carrie Cat fought for women's voting rights. They made their voices loud, strong and heard - in 1920 women won the right to vote. In the middle of the 19th century Americans had separate ideas of both men and women. Men ran for the government and worked while women cared for their families at home. Women were thought as of being delicate, childlike, emotional, and mentally inferior to men. Women did not win the right to vote until 1920 once their role in society had changed. Since men were fighting in the Civil War, women had to take up jobs previously done by men such as running the farm and working in factories. Both the Progressives (led by Theodore Roosevelt) and Socialists (led by Eugene Debs) favored women's suffrage and without their support women might not have the rights they do today.

 
...But, Elles, it still comes down to relationships. How many of you share my recent discovery: that what I had believed to be a relationship proved, instead, to be a parasite? It's taking all my resources to survive, while the ipod users and tent-dwellers appear to have a magic connection to cash flow and "sympathizers." As a woman "burned," I have zero enthusiasm for this crowd, deciding, instead, to work that "SHE LOST: GET OVER IT!" grudge against every fool that worked the angle which put an incompetent, empty suit in the oval office. That includes you, Clift. As I recall, Pat Buchannon became the darling of the HRC camp for one obvious reason, he didn't have his head up Obama's gold-plated a$$ and could make the obvious connection between Hope and Loose Wall Street Change. Not this time, Media. We know Pat Buchannon, and Ellie, you're No Pat.
