GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy Says Battling Occupy Is Just Like Battling The Soviet Union

[Report1212]

This guy really loves to hear himself speak, doesn't he?

--

On Friday, Republic Report attended the California Republican Convention in Burlingame. Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) closed the dinner with a speech comparing the problems faced by America in 1980 to today. He said that in 1980, we faced a threat from Soviet communism. McCarthy then said that today the country faces a similar threat from the Occupy Wall Street movement “in our parks”:

MCCARTHY: Have you ever thought about the similarities? Think back to 1980. First, we had a Democratic president. [...] We were battling the Soviet Union over the greatest form of government, the free market, or the ideas of communism. We have the same battle today, but now it’s not the Soviet Union, it’s the Occupy movement. It’s in our parks with the Occupy movement.

3. He is correct. The battle is about if of the Rich self entitled a$$holes can continue to subjugate

denigrate and starve the majority of the people.
The only thing that can prevent that is an
effective Government: OF BY and FOR the PEOPLE.
That is why the conservatives have been saying Government is the problem.
The people have been looking to the Government and the courts to be the solution.
When the rich corrupted the Government the last line of defense was the Courts.
Look at the SCOTUS and decide if you want to depend on them to defend your rights!
