Why do you think our flag is so great?

48. OWS has spent the winter months, doing as you suggest, helping to keep people in their homes

forcing banks to renegotiate loans and each time they save a family from becoming homeless, they enlist more people into the movement. The fact the this one issue is all people seem to know about the movement shows how successful the rightwingers are when they decide to smear anything the decide is coming from the 'left'.

I have seen the families whose homes have been saved by OWS, the first time since this disastrous foreclosure situation began that anyone has stepped forward to help people. Certainly none of their elected officials have done so, the banks have just rolled over people, many times taking away homes illegally. But now they have OWS on their side and they are very, very grateful. In fact, those people, some of them immigrants who did work hard, then lost their jobs, probably see the US as a great country BECAUSE of OWS.

I went to all the rightwing blogs yesterday and saw the faux outrage over the flag burning, although it was not much better here, sadly. It is a very big movement now, there are going to be incidents like this, I fail to see how it helps for the left to join the right in their attempt to destroy it.
