bluering, you are the king of "stupid generalizations" (e.g. unamerican, communists, etc.).
You should spend more time at http://rantburg.com/ with the other knee-jerks.

Wanda, so you disagree with me that these SEIU idiots are just commie-esque brats? For you to assume all banks execs are blood-thirsty guys making millions hand-over-fist is a bit ridiculous.
Doug, WTF do you mean?

Because they want home loans and houses without any risk. They want a high-risk loan for next to no risk and don't expect to pay their dues when things turn bad on their 'gamble'.
You rolled...you lost. Live with it. DON'T EXPECT THE BANKS TO ABSORB YOUR IDIOCY!
In other words, they want cheap, free housing...at no risk!
Brats, because they all appear to be trouble makers that want something for nothing.

bluering,
You make a lot of assumptions about their motives. Do you think these are the type of people that were flipping houses?
And where in the hell do you get that they want "free" housing? It's one thing to generalize and exagerrate, but try not to pull stuff out of your ass.
I don't think they "appear" to want something for nothing; maybe they just want to not be taken advantage of.

"Has anybody noticed that all the organized protests against anything American are supported by the same old groups?"
All we need is a comprehensive list of all subjects that are "American" and then prohibit public protests focusing on those subjects. Perfect. Just to make sure nothing goes amiss, let's come up with a list of groups that should not be allowed to protest at all whatever the subject. To make this all a little easier to accomplish, let's eliminate some of those troublesome parts of the 1st Amendment like free speech and freedom of association. Founding Fathers really sent us in the wrong direction with that one! Sounds like, well, sounds alot like a system that Communist governments see as essential.
P.S. I didn't see on your list the Michigan Militia, unless you don't consider the charge against them, sedition against the USA, "sh##ing on the flag."

Through their efforts they create wealth. The capitalists then steal, oopsie, I mean accumulate, this wealth. Then call the people freeloaders and lazy because they have the audacity to want to keep what is theirs.

The one thing that I never really liked about Jesus was his Communist tendency: redistribution of wealth, camels through the eyes of needles and all that stuff, really anti Capitalist, anti American dribble. If it weren't for the money changers I wouldn't have my big screen or my BMW, and that's a fact!

WTF are you talking about? The people who lost their houses took ridiculous loans out they could never afford. When foreclosed upon, you think the banks made millions off these loans??? Have you seen the housing market?
Granted some sketchy traders made money, but not BofA. They were out of the biz in 2001, prolly because they saw it was a house of cards. I'd say, good for them.
BofA ain't the demon here. Look up what Fannie/Freddie were involved in under the pressure of guys like Barney Frank, Acorn, and Chris Dodd.

I was about to ask you the same thing.
It's funny how you conservatives always project the faults of the capitalists onto the working stiffs of this country.
Corporations get BILLIONS in welfare from the government, but the tea baggers complain about welfare moms and their Cadillacs. (Even though Ronnie Raygun pulled that out of his ass)
Some guy works 50 hour weeks at Wal-mart, but has to get food stamps to survive, and tea baggers call him lazy.
Meanwhile, your capitalist masters laugh all the way to the bank. They make billions, they keep it. They lose billions, suckers like you pay for it.
Keep voting Republican.

rantburg?
Have I said that bluering is an idiot yet???
You must actively go out looking to be manipulated--to get wound up and angry so you can spew it all out with a sense of righteous indignation like you enjoy it. Weird.
The problem isn't communists, the problem is with True Believers and what they are capable of. They might be communists, anti-communists, capitalists, fascists, christians, muslims, whatever. Humans have been doing this kind of sh#t to other humans forever.

lose the rant, open your eyes and sit in someone else's shoes for once..
funny how those who bang the drum the loudest for WAR are the ones who get the deferments to stay out of war. Cheney, rumsfield, wolfowitz and bush not really there when he was supped to..

Depends on which banks you mean, bluering. You don't really seem to understand how this all worked. Many of those banks made TONS of money off those loans because they simply originated the loan and then sold it to someone else. They never had to actually carry the risk, which is why the loans got riskier and riskier and the market finally collapsed. The people who lost so much money in the end were the banks that BOUGHT those loans as long term investments and those people/institutions that invested in those banks.
C'mon bluering that is pretty fundamental knowledge of this issue. Don't go all e-raging about it if you haven't actually been paying attention.
