a bunch of morons without opinions on what is taking place in this country?

The biggest worry Democrats have right now is that people DO KNOW what's going on. Especially young people who are really really disgusted to wake up one day and find that the government that they trusted is scarfing up information on everything that they do.

I have a 20-year old son, so I hear it! And their disgust for the lack of support for the Occupy movement reminds me of what I felt about the older generation and the Republican party during Viet Nam war.
