The Koch's aren't libertarians. They want the government to take care of the mega-rich and they want the tax payer to pay for it. They want to socialize the gain and privatize the loss. They want super high taxes for the poor and middle class and low to no taxes on the rich. They want to put all the regulation on the middle class and they want to give waivers to the mega-banks. The Koch brothers want to marry the government and corporate oligarchs. That my friend is what you call FASCIST! via

In a personal letter from 1973, the right-wing billionaire urged the libertarian philosopher to collect Social Security and to use Medicare coverage when visiting the United States.


Letterhead on a letter from Charles Koch to Friedrich Hayek, August 10, 1973.


Charles Koch informs Friedrich Hayek that he would be eligible for Social Security payments and "medical coverage."


Charles Koch's signature.

Up Close And Personal With Occupy Wall Street. This amazing documentary, “Nobody Can Predict the Moment of Revolution,” is less than ten minutes long and completely eye-opening to the reasons and many faces behind the movement. Watch it, and participate in #OccupyWallStreet today.


The video was shot during the 5th and 6th day of the occupation.

This idea to occupy the financial district in New York City was inspired by recent uprisings in Spain, Greece, Egypt, and Tunisia
which most of us were following online.

Despite of the corporate media's effort to silence the protests, and Yahoo's attempt to to censor it in e-mail communication,
the occupation is growing in numbers and spreading to other cities in the US and abroad.

Please forward our video to likeminded people via email, facebook, twitter - and make the voices of dissent circulate.

Wall Street has shown Americans how they feel about the protests with this recent video. The video shows unidentified occupants watching protesters from the balconies of Wall Street in amusement while sipping champagne.

ABC News reports in their story titled "Occupy Wall Street Protesters Meet Champagne Sippers" the location as Cipriani 55: The well-dressed guests at the restaurant, Cipriani 55, were in sharp contrast to the protesters holding signs and chanting below. The restaurant is associated with Cipriani Club Residences’ luxury apartments at the same address, 55 Wall Street.



"US Day of Rage"

Demonstrations began on September 17 to show U.S. citizens anger over a financial system that favors the rich over all other American citizens. Chanting, "We are 99 percent," thousands of protesters gathered near Zucotti Park, close to Wall Street and began their march. Around 5 pm, while attempting to enter the financial district at 55 Wall Street, they were met by curious onlookers from the balconies who were leisurely watching the protesters and doing the unthinkable--drinking champagne.

55 Wall Street

Who occupies 55 Wall Street? The sprawling, historic Manhattan building is home to the Ciprion Club Residences, a private club as well as residence to Wall Street's élite.

Gathered on the balconies of this home of the rich, men in suits and tuxedos as well as women in silk dresses and business suits, casually sipped on their glasses while smiling and taking pictures, seemingly oblivious to the fight of the 99 percent.

The club has a total of 106 residences (living quarters) and their website asserts, "The club will provide you with everything essential to live the good life."

For onlookers "the good life" is a far different cry then that of the remaining 99 percent.

Essential to most Americans is food, shelter, and a job, they don't have time to dress up and sip champagne while their friends and neighbors get arrested for speaking their minds on a public street. (© Christine Dantz 2011)

Idiots... homophobic crowd boos gay soldier at GOP debate in Orlando, Florida. A gay soldier is booed while asking GOP candidates about their stance on the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."

Definitely a missed opportunity for every single Republican on that stage. It was definitely disrespectful.

Bristol Palin gets in a heated argument with a gay dude at a bar. Calling her mother, Sarah Palin, a whore and Bristol questioning his motives because he's a homosexual. This is intense.

As much as I dislike Sarah Palin, I'm with Bristol here. Dude was out of line and couldn't even articulate one of the many reasons of why Sarah Palin is awful. Arguing with a drunk will get you know where... I have much respect for Bristol now for getting in his face and sticking up for her family.

Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin daughter, was enjoying her time at West Hollywood's Saddle Ranch restaurant with her friends and the film crew of her new reality show. Bristol got on the mechanical bull and rode it. But, as Bristol fell off the mechanical bull a man from the bar started shouting things to Bristol such as "Your mother is a whore," "Did you ride Levi like that," and "Your mother is a f***ing devil." Well Bristol was not happy and having any of that especially in front of her film crew. Bristol quickly walked over and confronted the man, calling him a homosexual -- and at one point, even apparently taunting him - and both began shouting and arguing. The Saddle Ranch management tried breaking it up but Bristol and the man kept going at it till the film crew took Bristol away!

"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you.

But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory...

Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along." - Elizabeth Warren

21-year old, Randy Phillips, under his handle “AreYouSurprised,” calls his father to tell him — as the video description says — “the hardest thing that gay guys will ever have to say.”

“You promise you’ll always love me? Period?” he asks his father, his voice shaking.

He takes a beat, and then says it: “Dad, I’m gay. I always have been. I’ve known for … forever.”

Randy Phillips has been posting videos since April, but his account first drew real attention when he posted a video of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Angie Johnson and "Sidewinder" of the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Band performing Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," a cover that was posted on August 8th and has now been seen upwards of 1.5 million times:





AreYouSuprised was described as "anonymous" in the press when the video was being circulated as all of his other videos were vlogs about his self-described experiences being gay in the military. Nearly all the videos are shot from the neck down, and here AreYouSuprised openly discusses his thoughts about hiding his identity.





Today marked the official end of the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, and AreYouSuprised posted a video he recorded calling his father to reveal his sexuality.

Before DADT Repeal, Gay Soldier Comes Out on YouTube

The video, which was filmed early this morning Germany-time, became one of today's top Trending Videos and is quickly drawing tens of thousands of views.

At the Midwest Spriit Christian Music Festival, 2012 presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) gives her Christian testimony. Recorded Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, in West Des Moines, Iowa.

She's definitely crazy, but she's not crazy enough to say that. (Even though it really sounds like she said that.) You be the judge. She says it 00:12 seconds in...

This unedited footage clears up the remark. She says, “who likes wet people?” The event was being held on a rainy day and her next sentence discusses how they “have the god of the winds and rains.”

The unnamed woman, clad only in a singlet top and swimwear bottoms, was filmed screaming at police after the car her husband was driving flipped on a highway landed in a grassy ditch, TV station KRCG reports.

The four-wheel drive and the boat it was towing overturned when it came off the highway in the single-vehicle accident near Ashland, Missouri.

"I'm the one driving — wanna arrest me?" she shouted at state troopers, holding out her hands to be cuffed.

"Come on, taser me, maybe it'd make you feel better."

Police did their best to ignore the irate woman, who avoided charges despite repeatedly swearing and abusing officers at the scene.

Her husband Kenneth Teeter, 65, was charged with drink-driving, driving without a licence, careless and imprudent driving and marijuana possession.

Now you know why that dude looks so happy to be taken away.

A Libyan rebel expressed his jubilation after finding the bedroom of the Libyan dictator when ransacking his palace. Rebels seize Gaddafi's personal items from inside Bab Al-Aziziyah Compound.

"I just went inside his room, Gaddafi's bedroom, and I was really, I was like 'Oh my God'. I am in Gaddafi's room. Oh my God. Then this thing happened. I found this, oh my goodness,"

All he needs is a rap career and a cup and he'd be smokin' dubs with Snoop Dogg and Lil' Jon right now.

Most of the media is ignoring Ron Paul, but NewsHour on PBS is taking his campaign seriously.

I hate Politics. It's frustrating. I can totally understand why President's go gray quickly. The STRESS! The world heavy on your shoulders, daily, non-stop, 24/7. Anyway, I thought the commercial was great. But I think more attention needs to be brought to the fact that everyone's ignoring him because the establishment and status quo are scared sheetless of him.
