ACORN's Woes...

On Friday ACORN is pulled from any connection to the Census Bureau. Click here to review Newsbusters.com's take on it.

If that wasn't hard enough (I mean--how are we going to find another thug organization that can cushion the census to the Democrats' liking in such short time notice?)...

Monday, the Federal government overwhelmingly voted 83-7 (9 no votes) to prohibit use of funds to fund the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). (h/t to Hot Air for breaking the story).

While I was trying to research the rough couple of days that ACORN has been experiencing, I used every phrase imaginable to get ACORN stories to pop up. Do you want to know how many Mainstream News stories pulled up under a Google Search? None. None. None.

First--Van Jones went down. (BTW--is it really considered a smear campaign when people are simply restating words that came out of his mouth?!?!)

Second--ACORN has finally been brought down. (Now, if the FBI could only speed up that voter fraud investigation...)

Shall we go after the Mainstream Media next?

Bit by bit--day by day.

(Though I'd like to see Pelosi and Reid on the out list before the media)

Two Can Play At That Game

There is a video of Jason Mattera going undercover at Rep. Jim Moran's town hall meeting in Virginia posted out at Moonbattery.com. My, my. It seems two can play at this game, huh? My thoughts are that this video needs to be spread throughout the nation for multiple reasons.

1. It demonstrates the lack of knowledge that these people have about how this government is *supposed* to work.
2. It demonstrates the feeling of entitlement these people have--I wonder how much of their own property they freely give up (minus the crazy commune guy).
3. It PROVES that there are people in this nation trying to sabotage the conservative movement (which is expected). It is up to us to counter these acts of sabotage and get the word out that these people play DIRTY and want your freedoms taken away.

Enjoy.

Freedom of Speech Only Applies...

Well, posting once a month is unacceptable and I deeply apologize. I will try to be more proactive with this blog--but I simply can't help but let the smell of fall and football just around the corner distract me from my obligations. Because, in case you haven't noticed...I love football. But enough about that. I do my daily reading of news stories (if you can call it that--"news"), and I check on my favorite blogs for updates and I find myself AMAZED at what some people will let this current administration and its goonies get away with.

Flag@whitehouse.gov? Seriously? Hey little ones, if you hear your mommy and daddy talking bad about our President or his policies, please let your good White House know. Remind you of anything else? Please note when that link was published. Yes--I saw (like many of you) the potential of similarities long before we elected this man into office. I say "we" in the most general sense of the word.

It's only proper to dissent when you disagree with W? But don't you dare oppose Obama and his goons. Never mind that they're trying to ram through legislation that our representatives have admitted to not reading (I don't think a link is necessary--as we've all seen the reports). I think one of my favorite quotes thus far comes from Dan Jeror (h/t John Hawkins at Townhall.com), "Why would you guys try to stuff a health care bill down our throats in three to four weeks when the President took six months to pick out a dog for his kids?" Ummm. Good question.

As I sit hear and ponder today's politics, I honestly get sick to my stomach that there are actually people that are accepting this type of behavior. Organizing for America is grassroots? Please. I pray daily that more and more Americans wake up to what is happening and let these fools know in D.C. that we are ON TO THEM. We are not a monarchy--and just because you're a Washington bureaucrat does NOT mean that you are better than me--so get over this Marie Antoinette attitude. My friends--I can only pray that we show up at the polls with fury and rage come November 2010 and let these bureaucrats know just who IS the boss in this good ol' USA.

I wish more than anything I could head to Washington on September 12th...but with stuff going on in my personal life and you know, my JOB (that apparently I am simply working to pay for Joe Blow the LOSER), I am unable to get away. I hope that some of you are able to make it. We need a STRONG showing to let D.C. know. We're not messing around anymore.

So--my hiatus has resulted in a long rant. I will try my very best to do some research and post more than once a month from here on out. Maybe The General will contribute, too? (hint, hint)

Community Service--Voluntary?

While I have stated before that I don't oppose encouraging community service--I do have a problem with signing a bill that bribes one to do good.

The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act sounds ideal--encourage youth and young adults throughout our nation to participate in community service.

However, after the revelation of the "extremeist conservative" report from DHS and the 1000+ page "stimulus" bill that was rushed through crammed with pork and pet projects and our President flying all over the world to listen to our country being bashed, I have my reservations. I don't trust it.

First, politicians that do nothing to contribute to society--except redistribute OTHER PEOPLE'S wealth--are creating, supporting or signing a bill that will all but force community service onto our children. Heck, those politicians will even PAY you to VOLUNTEER your time...I mean, what's a few million more when we're already running the deficit up to $4trillion plus?

Next, in mere weeks after the DHS report was released mentioning Veterans and their easily coerced ways:

(h/t Michelle Malkin:) And echoing the anti-military bigotry last seen in that disgusting Penn State University training video, there’s this on p. 7:

(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

...a Veterans service corps group will be developed, monitored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.

While there is not much description as to what this program will do for Veterans, I can't help but draw up crazy theories that we may be witnessing the most power hungry humans in this country trying to make their power permanent... Could this be the counter attack of our current government on these extreme conservatives that brainwash our poor Veterans? In other words, a means to get in the heads of these "easily coerced" Vets before those crazy conservatives do? Get in the heads of the kiddos while they're at it?

After the release of the DHS report that vaguely describes any and ALL opposition to the current administration as a potential terrorist threat and now with the release of the Serve America bill--I can't help but think--are we seeing a repeat in history?

Well, I can ponder no longer...I actually have to go write a lesson plan for the class I work with every week through Junior Achievement. It's an amazing VOLUNTEER group that reaches out to America's youth each and every day. And we don't even get paid to do it!
