Its’ Not Just ACORN That Is The Problem

Sep 28, 2009 Political

ACORN, the Association that has given “community organizing” a bad name, has come under increasing criticism and even investigations. Good, but not enough- not nearly enough, as this organization has, through the years, morphed into many entities; SEIU, the Services Employees International Union, the Tides Foundation (a Soros- based liberal organization), and the Apollo Alliance, a group that helped the Resident actually write the healthcare and stimulus bills- think there might be a wee touch of conflict of interest, given the SEIU is organizing the nursing profession and other service aspects that stand to receive scads of money if all this passes.

All of these “organizations” need to be investigated- that much is plain- what isn’t , is whether these actually will be.

As various charges and complaints have materialized over the years, it seems that ACORN uses the communities in which they are located as staging grounds for national power grabs. With multiple states and entities receiving federal funds, ACORN plays to win. Aiding ACORN are groups like DEMO’s, the Democracy Alliance, Soros Open Society Institute, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The Washington Examiner has covered ACORN’s: “Muscle for the Money” program:

“ACORN’s so-called ‘muscle for money’ strategy extorts ‘donations’ from targeted government and corporate officials by offering them Mafia-like protection from protests by the group’s own paid thugs, many of them convicted felons. ACORN has also blocked bank mergers until the targeted financial institutions agreed to change their lending policies to ACORN’s satisfaction.”

“Mafia- like” protection- oh goody- that sounds, well- illegal, doesn’t it? At the very least, unethical, but when has unethical ever stopped a liberal before (see: Bill Clinton)?

This has been going on for a long time, beginning with the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) of Jimmy Carter’s term, which had the lofty goal of allegedly helping the less advantaged to progress in society, but ACORN and the others all do one thing in common- they use the politics of confrontation and passive extortion to achieve their ends.

While it is easy to see the benefit for ACORN to go after Sherwin Williams or Jackson Hewitt, it was their 2007-2008 ventures with SEIU against the Carlyle Group that deserve a closer inspection. In 2007 SEIU began a series of “grassroots” actions designed to pressure the Carlyle Group to the bargaining table.

“The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) staged a protest outside the Pennsylvania Avenue headquarters of The Carlyle Group as part of the union’s bid to organize Manor Care, the Toledo-based nursing home giant Carlyle is buying for $6.3 billion.”

It is all about the pressure, and everybody wants to be Tony Soprano, I guess, but in reality, there are lines you do not cross and ethics you cannot ignore without a penalty, and just because the Resident might be an ardent supporter does not mean that he will support you if you begin to embarrass him, and that is what is happening now.

The videos that incriminate ACORN, and show them actively attempting to evade IRS tax laws, and set up, or aid in setting up an alleged house of prostitution, have caused this group and any others associated with ACORN to finally feel some heat.

Good- it’s about time- this group, as well as the others mentioned above, are a boil on the butt of our nation, and it is time to lance it and get rid of this infection.

This kind of help our Republic absolutely does not need.

Hillary’s Birthday is Just Another Reason to Break the Law

Oct 15, 2007 Uncategorized

There will be a big gala next week to celebrate the 60th birthday of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the next Queen of America and ruler of all her subjects, you know, the little people. This will be a star studded event that might actually bring in between 1 and 2 million dollars for her campaign. Billy Crystal will be the emcee (who ever heard of this for a friggin Senator) and he will, no doubt, be funny with his dated humor. Elvis Costello will be singing but I am not sure who is responsible for bringing the weed and the bongs but my guess is Bill is handling the show girls (literally).

What I am wondering is if Hillary will violate any laws like she did when they threw a big fund raising bash to raise money for her Senate run while honoring her hubby. I do not know if any of you have heard this story but Hillary is on tape committing several felonies with regard to election law. Of course, she lied about having any knowledge of the events but she is on video and it is quite obvious that she was well aware of the events and that she solicited a performance by Cher, a violation of the law.

So has Hillary been involved in planning this event? Has she solicited any donations in violation of the law? I am quite sure she has just as she did the last time. The previous event is tied up in the courts but the prosecutors and judges were appointed by Bubba so they will likely not uphold the law. The video and her association with Hsu all add up to deliberate graft and criminal behavior.

Folks, she thinks she is above the law. Her crimes are documented with letters, video, and news stories. She is guilty as sin, though sin has a different meaning for the Clinton clan.

Rob Reiner, the left wing lunatic from Hollyweird will be throwing her a smaller party the next day where donors with deeper pockets will attend. Reiner played Mike on All in the Family and Archie always called him Meat Head. At least that part of the show was accurate.
