    They can try to brainwash people in the matrix of what the latest word every candidate said all day every day on our so called news but tens of millions have already awakened to the fact that it is all a big lie, and none of those two party candidates are going to do a damn thing help most Americans now besides tossing them a tiny band-aid for a gaping wound, as they try to make them shut up if they dare to complain about it, and more and more wake up to that fact every single day now!

    You can flip a old, dirty, tarnished penny over and over all you want, and it is still not going to do a damn thing for you!

    The war has begun. 99% of us have kept our side peaceful so far. We cant say the same for the other side. Just like all those other countries where the people have said enough is enough of the rich ruling us.

    2012!

    This morning Bohner said the two months extension makes small business afraid to hire, won’t know what’s next. BALONEY. They’ll hire part-time, temp for 2 months like all businesses have for a long time now. Good try Bohner, pretending to care about the little guy and his employee. Nobody hires perm. & full-time, extension or not, businesses can’t afford to. Pipeline is only job package GOP offers & no guarantee US citizens get them. Infrastructure jobs WOULD go to US workers, are desperately needed, won’t cause another BP type accident we can’t afford to clean up if it happens. . . . . come on!!!! GOP can now change from elephanbt to mule so stubborn & dumb, or snake—such a cheat as Bohner is this morning AFTER the vote was done yesterday, and all heading out . . . . has to be a year (+pipeline +EXPENSIVE DRUG TESTING for Unemployment +1% not be tapped for one cent of tax). GOP by now whenter they “win” anything, even the presidency, they lose. Can’t win, cheating = forfeit.

    Hypocrisy at its highest! Lies! Media spin!!!!

    Occupy Denver disrupts vigil to honor homeless who have died, refuse to allow mayor to speak

    The night before, the Occupiers’ tents, shanties and other possessions were removed from Civic Center park by police across the street from the vigil.

    Hancock pleaded with them to show civility to the families and respect for the 136 men and women whose names would eventually be called.

    REALLY?!!!

    Did you forget about this HANCOCK?!

    Denver Mayor Michael Hancock today said he would support a new law to prohibit overnight camping in public places — aimed specifically at reducing the number of homeless people on the streets.

    What a Christmas eve this year

    Already American citizens can be detained indefinitely by the military with no due process because of a new law. I know some try to say the clause that says it doesn’t apply to American citizens makes that not true, but many legal minds have already stated that the part that says that clause does not apply to existing law, and the secret interpretation of the patriot act, makes it true

    Now we are in a fight of our lives to stop a bill that allows the government to basically be able to shut down any site when they feel like it, and makes all privacy software illegal

    Put that together with all the lies we see from the BLS, and DC now, and things look bad.

    Notice how the unemployed disappeared from the media, and you rarely even hear about the fact that all tiers of unemployment extensions, that millions survive on now, were part of that two month tax cut deal?

    They want to erase all the unemployed, along with Occupy, and anyone else who speaks out now

    Merry Christmas!

    This has been the worst year of my life, As I sit here alone I am grateful for what I have, So many are on the street and freezing, I am not a “live on the street” kinda guy, I wouldn’t even know where to “go”, when I had to “go”.

    So do you just wear the same clothes all the time? Strange that you dont hear of “homeless” people just dying out on the streets, That what I would do Im sure, Because I just couldn’t cope with it.

    I like the Denver mayors solution, Just make Homelessness Illegal! Shit ya them criminals can get a job or goto jail! That will fix it!
    Works for me, Three hots and a cot is better than nothing and no place.

    Well I have a place for now and Im warming up some ramen noodles for my Christmas breakfast, And dreaming of sausage and eggs with homefries.

    Merry Christmas!

    Anyways…

    Merry Christmas

    And another story on the true meaning of Christmas, and the reality so many live in now.

    Readers’ generosity lifts homeless families

    Donna Grant sat on the floor on a pile of blankets that her 12-year-old daughter Amber Phillips uses for a bed. A new purple mountain bike leaned against the wall — a gift to Amber from a Free Press reader — and Grant wiped tears from her eyes.

    Amber lost her old bike when Grant had to leave it with a motel owner to settle a $120 bill. “Amber was hurt; she was crying,” said Grant, who was profiled in last week’s Free Press series about a spike in student homelessness across Michigan.

    More than 15 readers offered to buy Amber a bike.

    We handed a stack of Christmas cards to Grant and she sat on the floor opening them, as checks and gift cards tumbled out. Many of the letters were anonymous.
