STRIKE 3....Maybe for ACORN

The young, intrepid and courageous reporters have stuck again at the corrupt organization, ACORN…

Last week it was Washington D.C. and Baltimore.

This time, in Brooklyn, New York….

Once again, our faux pimp and hooker have taken their “show” on the road to the “Big Apple” and we have seen, once again, that the criminal enterprise known as ACORN has shown it’s true colors as an aider and abettor of child trafficking, child prostitution, and tax fraud. When asked about what was necessary to set up a brothel and how to hide the proceeds, they were given specific information how to hide the cash (in a can in the backyard!) and how to characterize the young lady’s employment as that of “Performance Artist”. When asked how they should deal with their El Salvadorian child prostitutes, they were told that they could make them dependents for tax purposes.

Officials at ACORN have threatened lawsuits for Defamation of Character…

“Defamation of Character" implies that they HAVE character.....

Hey ACORN...Can you say "R.I.C.O.”?
They are totally corrupt...
Corruption in ACORN seems systemic when you look at how many investigations and irregularities have been found involving them. Barrack Obama was a trainer and legal defender of this organization, so one is apt to wonder what he knows and how much responsibility he has in shaping the tactics and practices of the apparently criminal enterprise. Why hasn't the U.S. Attorney opened a RICO investigation? The corruption is nation-wide, therefore can be looked into by the Feds. Perhaps Obama is shielding his buddies at ACORN from federal scrutiny... Maybe it is time for those of us sick of the corruption to take matters into our own hands like some folks in Ohio did and file our own suites...Any organization that would help set up a criminal enterprise that assists in the trafficking and exploitation of children for the sex trade, and then assist with the "paperwork" to make it all legal-like even if fraudulent, is beyond inhuman.

Hey ACORN....STRIKE 2 !!!!

To paraphrase an old movie and book title, once seems to be not enough for the folks at ACORN...

Two expose' videos put out in the last 48 hours by 2 very brave young people have shown just how venial and corrupt ACORN truly is. There might have been a valid argument that this is a smear campaign by Republicans to discredit the organization, but when you have voter fraud cases in 2 states and now these videos from 2 other areas of the country, it is blatantly apparent that there is a culture of corruption that leads all the way to the highest levels of our government. The President of the United States has publicly commended this organization for its efforts on many fronts including voter registration, which now are under investigation in several states. Obama has so many ties to this organization going back over a decade that one is apt to wonder what he knows about them and if he has had any knowledge of past acts like the ones seen in the videos.

Conspiracy to aid and abet child trafficking and child molestation, tax evasion, and fraud should rate a look-see by the U.S. Attorney... Since the whole organization seems corrupted (Indictments in Florida and Nevada..), they should be shut down and their leaders and lieutenants tried and jailed. Perhaps a look at the voter registration efforts by ACORN on behalf of the Democratic Party should rate a look as well since the Demos have seen to it that ACORN gets federal funds...over 8 BILLION dollars worth...

I say the videos tells the whole sordid and felonious story... These are the sorts of people the Democrats are in bed with...People who would willingly and happily help the criminal element game the system and set up brothels stocked with illegal alien/child prostitutes in your backyard. These are degenerates of the highest order. There is no excuse. No cover or pit deep enough to hide for those who would aid and abet that sort of thing.

Hey ACORN....Can you say R.I.C.O. ???

P.S. At least Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts had gay ADULTS turning tricks from his home...not kids!!

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK, FOLKS

Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land!!

In the wake of President Obama’s speech Wednesday night, I have stopped and reflected on the words and substance of his address to the joint session of congress. My initial reaction was that he was back on the campaign trail running for office again. He is a good speaker, maybe even a great one when he attempts to move the crowd. The problem was that when you strip away the platitudes and the rhetoric, what are you left with?

The essence of the speech was that we have to reform healthcare or else….

Well, for those who have been without health insurance, as I myself have been on occasion, I can certainly sympathize. But the bottom line is that the republic will not collapse if the status quo continues. But if this bill, HR 3200 does make it to the President’s desk for approval, we may very well hasten the bankruptcy of the country, and disrupt permanently, what is arguable the best healthcare delivery system in the world.

This is not rhetoric, it is fact.

Keep in mind these 2 indisputable facts:

1. Congress just raised the national debt ceiling to 12 TRILLION dollars this week
(that’s 12,000 BILLION dollars…) If you need a visual, it would be enough dollar bills to reach the moon and back over two and a quarter times if you laid the bills end to end…

2. The Obama Administration and the Democratic controlled congress have spent over 1.38 Trillion dollars since January, 2009. That is 4 times what the previous administration spent in its last year in office.

The President said on Thursday, the day after his address, at his cabinet meeting that the status quo could NOT be maintained and we had to do something because so many Americans were going bankrupt and that people were dying for lack of care. Well Mr. President, that may happen from time to time to a few, and yes, it is tragic when it happens, but ultimately, if you destroy the economy of the country, if you set up a system that bankrupts the entire nation trying to provide services to everyone, we are all in a great deal more trouble than those unfortunate few.

But let us not focus just on that one point. Let us look at what is known to be in the actual bill and look at what is on the record, from the Presidents own statements.

The first thing that I would like to make note of was the numbers of uninsured or under insures people the President said would be covered. We have heard repeatedly from the administration and from the congressional leadership that there were 45-47 million people needing help. Inexplicably, last night the number dropped to 30 million…. How did that happen? Where did 15-17 million people go? Perhaps he removed the illegal aliens from the mix? OK, I am fine with that… But why were illegal aliens in the computation in the first place? Why was the higher figure bandied about as gospel? He stated categorically that illegal aliens were not going to be covered by his program. If that is the truth, then why were they a computed factor before? Were they going to be covered prior to his speech last night? Who was lying to whom about this?

The Congressional Research Service published a report in August 25, 2009 that outlined the coverage of illegal aliens in HR 3200. According to the report:

“ H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitizens participating in the exchanges whether the noncitizens are legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently.”

So in effect, the President did lied…… Big surprise there, right?
Another point that needs to be made is that on 2 occasions, attempts were made by Republicans to put in specific language that would specifically bar illegal aliens from getting taxpayer assistance in acquiring healthcare. One well known attempt was by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nevada, who tried to introduce an amendment that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama. The House Ways and Means Committee defeated the Heller amendment by a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines, and followed this action by passing the 1,018-page bill by a 23-to-18 margin, with three Democrats voting against the plan. Incidentally, he also put in for an amendment that would require Congressional members and their staffs and other government employee to be made part of this plan, but the Democrats on the committee struck that down as well. What is good enough for us is evidentially not good enough for them.

So much for principle of bipartisanship…

So much for equal protection under the law…


Then there is the really shaky economics of this program, which will, according to the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan agency of Congress, cost the taxpayers an estimated 1 TRILLION dollars to help an estimated 45 million people (or is it 30 million…). According to the President, he would not sign a bill that added “one dime to the federal deficit”. Well, I believe he believes that. And because I believe he believes that, he is the most dangerously ignorant individual to occupy the office of President in a very long time. He seems not to have a clue as to how the real world works or any concept of business, economics or human nature. One thing is certain, he may be a great community organizer, but he’s a lousy mathematician.

He stated that that he would fund most of this program from savings from reductions in waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid; Most of it… meaning more than 50% of it, or more than 500 billion dollars using the C.B.O. numbers.

Well, isn’t that great! I can’t wait……

Wait a minute…. Why haven’t they made these sorts of efficiencies before? Why is there so much waste, fraud and abuse in those programs now? Why hasn’t Congress or the administration dealt with this already? Is there over half a Trillion dollars in savings that can be had from cutting waste, fraud and abuse from Medicare and Medicaid; to be transferred from those programs? If there is that much inefficiency, that much waste and fraud in those programs, why on earth would we trust Obama and his sycophants in congress to start up a whole new and ruinously expensive program to deal with less than 10% of the population (by his new, revised numbers) and that in effect puts major controls on 16% of the national economy? It is utterly incomprehensible how anyone could honestly look at this plan, read it and do the basic math and see anything but disaster for the nation.

I have an idea…

Why don’t the powers that be prove their contention that they can do all they say they can. Let’s see if they can come up with the monies they say they can BEFORE they pass this egregious piece if legislative pap. Let them prove to all of us on both sides of the political spectrum that economies to existing government programs can be made without cutting services to Medicare or Medicaid and that there won’t be a drop in service quality. Let them show the fiscal and administrative chops to make these 2 programs run the way they should have been all along BEFORE they get their hands on the system the rest of us depend on? It is truly unbelievable that Obama and his minions are pushing this when they haven’t demonstrated an ability to deliver on any aspect needed to fund this program without busting the budget. Let them prove their competency. Lets see if there is any credence to anything they say.

Wake up, ladies and gentlemen……

Our leadership is in cloud cuckoo land.

Good enough for thee, but NOT good enough for me!!...

This is the message we get when the government exempts itself from the laws and regulations that it passes. Health Care Reform as it is presently being sold to the rank and file citizen will exempt the political class in Washington contrary to popular belief, and White House assurances.

Rep. Dean Heller, R-NV, during a Ways and Means Committee in the House of Representatives, attempted to add an amendment during the meeting just before the recess began that would have required Members to be covered by the so called “Public Option” plan if it was approve for private citizens.

Big surprise, the Heller amendment was shot down by ALL 21 committee Democrats. Not a single Democrat voted to be part of this supposedly good plan for the rest of us. Yes, BIG surprise there...

That vote is indicative of the reality that any bill requiring Congress to be covered by the same health care as the public has absolutely NO chances of being enacted. It seems that the golden rule truly applies… Those who control the gold make the rules for the rest of us, and exempt themselves.

How good can the “Public Option” be if they won’t give it to themselves?

By the way, just in case you didn’t know it, f Congress and their staffs and families presently get health insurance coverage through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), which offers enrollees nearly 300 choices among a variety of plans, coverages and costs.


The FEHBP also covers most federal employees, and federal retirees, and all members of the House and Senate (Congress) though the latter (Congress) has additional perks of office that make their health coverage far better than that available - or affordable - for the vast majority of working Americans. One of these perks include admission to Federal Hospital facilities like Bethesda Naval Hospital and it’s VIP wing.

Obama speaks to the kids.....

Today, President Obama is speaking to the children of the nation in their school rooms.

According to the text of the speech, which is VERY long and punctuated with an excess of personal pronouns, he will extol the virtues of education and encourage the youth of America to pursue education. It will be a very vanilla speech as speeches go. Hopefully it will touch a child or two, encouraging them to stay in school and to achieve excellence.

Unfortunately, the more conservative elements in this country made a great issue of the address and have been complaining that the entire evolution was a attempt to indoctrinate the kids. There were criticisms of the after speech activities that were posted to the Department of Education’s website. The specifics were that the speech and writing assignments were an indoctrination tool, cultivating the cult of personality of Obama.

All this was put out into the mainstream media and onto the blogosphere prior to any transcript of the actual speech being made public. Predictably, the ensuing harangue began almost immediately and built to a crescendo at the same time that Van Jones was (probably) being thrown under the bus by the White House. Weather he arises again like Lazarus to hold some back-office position is yet to be seen, but you can bet we have not heard the last of Mr. Jones.

All the hoopla over the President’s address begs the question as to weather the liberals have rope-a-doped conservatives by salting the already charged political environment with what appeared to be a potential propaganda play by Obamanites; Create a predictably pseudo-political workbook assignment for the kids to be done after the speech, one that has the tone and effect of aggrandizing a presidential cult of personality. A predictably volatile reaction ensues, only to be shown to be all for not. The speech is rather bland and apolitical. As of today, the offending after-speech assignments are gone from the D.O.E website. The bait and switch is now complete.

The mainstream media will predictably say in the wake of the speech, “what was the big deal?” The independent crowd will say “where is all the controversial stuff you conservatives said was it this speech?” and the Obamanites will get the last laugh as they may have had a couple different versions of this speech available depending on the reactions to the concept.

Under fire, they withdrew the offending assignments after the storm began. They complete their operations to make the right look like a bunch of whiners by releasing a toned down schoolhouse address (their version of Plan “B”). The bottom line is that too much was made of the president’s speech to the school kids.

Based on my own experience, as the father of an active son who is now in college, most of them won’t remember it past next week, if even that long. The attention span of kids in class is limited to the length of a sitcom segment or music video at the most. The content of the speech will not do much more than provide a Sominex moment to the youth of America. When I read the text, I felt like Tip O’Neill during a State of the Union address…drowsy by the time I finished. We must maintain focus on the speech that really matters and that is the one President Obama will give to Congress on Heath care reform. We must all keep after the congressional representatives and keep after the senators as we get down to this major threat to personal freedom and independence.

August Recess is over. Now the real fight begins….
