The Mighty American Oak, Pruned by an ACORN?

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


The mighty American oak may soon be pruned down to size. And the “Association of Community Organizers Now”—or ACORN—could accomplish it all. The shift from the seizure of power by violence taught by Comrade Lenin in “The Communist Manifesto” to the seizure of power by the corruption of elections and the constitution taught by Fidel Castro and the Sao Paulo Forum won’t be so hard after all.

Founded on the Cloward/Piven Strategy, the goal of ACORN is the destruction of capitalism through the creation of chaos to overwhelm the system. Fresh off the heels of their stunning success in intimidating banks into offering bad loans, and of nearly destroying the welfare system of New York City by flooding the rolls with new recipients, they have moved on to the voting process.

In the last election, a dozen states pressed charges against ACORN, citing everything from intimidation tactics to voter fraud and embezzlement. How could anyone forget their clever attempt to submit the entire line up of the Dallas Cowboys as newly registered voters, or their legendary submission of thousands of deceased or imaginary persons in identical handwriting?

“I would like for ACORN to be exposed that it is a criminal activity … a criminal enterprise,” said Anita Moncrief, a former employee for the D.C. branch. “What ACORN is doing now is not only taking money from the government but they’re taking money from foundations … pretending to register voters … but what they’re doing is smoke and mirrors … creating chaos at the election offices.”

Recently, the Democratic Secretary of State for Nevada filed charges against ACORN in an effort to “crack down on election offenses.” The allegations of wrongdoing have now spread to some 20 states. So we can be sure they will be stopped, right? No one would allow a group like this to proceed unfettered or gain influence with such a corrupt history … right?

Well, who would bring them to justice? Local officials seem intent on doing that, but ultimately it is the Justice Department who places pressure on law enforcement to pursue certain crimes. So just where does our new attorney general stand on the issue of election corruption? “I think there is a feeling among Republicans that there is a widespread amount of voter fraud out there. I don’t think the statistics actually would substantiate it,” said Eric Holder in 2004. That’s about the time many of us were first hearing of ACORN and it’s antics in New Mexico and Wisconsin and Florida: registering felons in prisons, illegal immigrants and whomever else they could find to pad their roles.

Attorney General Holder knows ACORN well. They are, after all, a sister organization to The American Constitution Society, on whose board he serves along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Both groups are funded by George Soros, the Hungarian/American leftist bent on the destruction of the American system. One of the stated goals of Soros and the ACS is to deconstruct the American Constitution by 2020.

Potentially protected at Justice by Attorney General Holder, to add insult to injustice, ACORN is further eligible for funding by our tax dollars through the 2009 stimulus bill to the tune of somewhere between 3 and 5 billion dollars. Continued...

We need a constitutional amendment term
We need a constitutional amendment term limiting Congress. Thank God we have the 22nd amendment term limiting the president. Now we need the 28th amendment term limiting these good for nothing politicians in Congress. Let them go back to their states and help fix the problems in their local communities and let's get some problem solvers in Washington that will look out for our great country and not their reelection.
Billions to Acorn! What a sham. They are leading these Unites States into a third world nation.


ACORN
If ACORN is exposed that mean you expose Obama and what he really stands for. after all he work or supported their cause. But I'll say one over thing that this administration in nothing but corrupt with no moral values.
