Article: "Republicans Object to Stimulus Dollars for ACORN"

The link: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/27/republican-leaders-raise-concerns-acorn-stimulus-dollars/

"Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House. "

That should boil your blood, but I did write earlier that the Obamessiah would be beholden to ACORN, who is under investigation for voter registration fraud in 14 states.

Freddie Johnson, who ACORN pressured into registering an astonishing 72 times, could not be reached for comment. Of course, we're not sure which address to reach him at.

"He [House Republican Leader John Boehner] said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.

"Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told FOX News Tuesday that the money could be seen as "payoff" for groups' political activities in the last election. ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates and actively backed President Obama last year. "

You don't say. Actually, a few of us did. And we were called quite a few nasty things because of it, too.

But what the hell, right? Imagine the firestorm that the liberal press would've started (and then poured lighter-fluid on) if ACORN had been right-leaning and that they'd endorsed Juan McAmnesty (John McCain.)

Does anybody else remember that now-prophetic article from the Wall Street Journal? Here's the link again: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

"- Free speech and voting rights. A liberal supermajority would move quickly to impose procedural advantages that could cement Democratic rule for years to come. One early effort would be national, election-day voter registration. This is a long-time goal of Acorn and others on the "community organizer" left and would make it far easier to stack the voter rolls. The District of Columbia would also get votes in Congress -- Democratic, naturally." (emphasis added. The italics are due to those words being italicised in the article.)

Granted, this did come from an Op-Ed article, but it is still valid. But please read the article, especially the part about the "Green Revolution" stating a "...tax and regulation scheme..." and then go right back to another article: "In one of the most politically left-of-center cities east of Berkeley, Calif., ideas put forth at city hall in Madison, Wis. would dramatically limit free enterprise and personal liberty, all in the name of environmental sustainability.

According to the “Broad Strategies” section of a meeting agenda recently posted on the City of Madison Web site, an ordinance being considered would force city zoning to account for and mitigate climate change:" (Link left intact and is not mine) ARTICLE: http://businessandmedia.org/articles/2009/20090114094613.aspx

And I remember being told by somebody (literally) laughing in my face (LITERALLY laughing in my face) that that was just a "conspiracy theory."

She's not laughing any more. But I was easy on her: All she had to do was whisper that it wasn't just a conspiracy theory. She didn't even have to mean it.

You're not going to get these facts from the mainstream press, folks. They're too busy patting themselves on the back because the Obamessiah is now "ruling."
