Hey, hold the phone a minute.  If these protestors are indeed trust-fund kids, Rush should like the cut of their jib(so to speak).   If they have trust funds, they come from wealthy families and the wealthy are Rush's kind of people - work ethic based Americans who most likely made their fortune in Rush's beloved "free market" economy.

I Support Public Education - I'm a Socialist!!

That's according to Ron Paul: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/11/08/ron-paul-calls-elizabeth-warren-a-socialist/  Hey if it ain't privatized, it's socialism.  Ask Grover Norquist, ask Karl Marx, ask Fidel Castro.  Do you support your local police and fire departments?  You're a socialist.  Do you support public parks and recreation?  You're a socialist.  Police, for instance, would do a much better job catching criminals and restoring law and order to our cities if their was a profit margin involved.

Oakland Police, Appropriate Behavior and True Meaning of Free Speech

Now the Oakland police have shot a rubber bullet at a videographer(who asked for permission to videotape): http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/11/07/watch-occupy-oakland-protester-shot-by-rubber-bullet-while-filming-cops/.  We all know what happened in Oakland a few weeks ago(I thought since then the mayor came out in support of Occupy Oakland?).  The physical and right wing verbal attacks on the OWS movement, brings up the eternal question from freedom loving right wing patriots.  What is the fine line between 1st Amendment guaranteed free speech and treason(Bill O'Reilly once suggested Al Franken and other staffers of the old Air America radio network be arrested for treason for their criticisms of the Iraq War).   Some possible explanations from the minds of "patriots":

Attention MeTV Fans: You're Probably Old

They just added MeTV here in Rochester, NY.  I love it.  I love classic TV and they've got quite a lineup.  If I could stay up really late I could watch reruns of the classic Route 66(aka, 2 guys and a Corvette who make frequent stops in various towns  and stumble upon who need their help).   As it is, being a night person with a night schedule, I can sometimes stay awake for The Untouchables, which airs weekdays at 12:30am ET..  Before the Godfather saga, Goodfellas and The Sorpranos, The UT's was our first real look at the mafia.  Lots of other goods show on MeTV too.  Check out their website: http://metvnetwork.com/
