Hey everyone, ACORN is bad. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, lets look at how bad they are. ACORN, Association of Community Organizers For Reform Now, has been all over the news lately with the video from James O’Keefe’s hidden video of ACORN staffer, Tresa Kaelke helping them set up a prostitution ring including the importation of under-aged prostitutes from El Salvador. In response to this video, ACORN has launched a media blitz denouncing Mr. O’Keefe in the following article; Attack Videographer Caught in Manipulation and Lies.

The article claims, ”They were not believable”, said Ms. Kaelke of the two actors. “Somewhat entertaining, but they weren’t even good actors. I didn’t know what to make of them. They were clearly playing with me. I decided to shock them as much as they were shocking me.” Obviously, there were three good actors in the room, Ms. Karlke.

For those that don’t know much about this group, here is a great article written by discoverthenetworks.org; ACORN and information from acorn.org; The Truth About ACORN. You be the judge. Personally, I agree with Manhattan Institute scholar Sol Stern who wrote that ACORN, while professing its dedication to “the poor and powerless,” in fact “promotes a 1960s-bred agenda of anti-capitalism, central planning, victimology, and government handouts to the poor.” Their recent actions demonstrate that they will do anything and say anything to further their agenda.

And most recently, the US House of Representatives joined the Senate in defunding ACORN of millions of taxpayer dollars. boston.com reported, “The US House today joined the Senate in voting to defund ACORN, the community advocacy group beset by allegations of voter registration fraud and videotapes apparently showing employees advising conservative activists posing as a prostitute and pimp how to break the law.

The measure, offered as part of a motion on a student loan bill, passed by a vote of 345-75, with all “no” votes coming from Democrats.” [source: www.boston.com]

All the “NO” votes were from Democrats? Really? Isn’t that interesting? They are not pawns of the “special interests”, they are not in bed with law-breaking ACORN? Not the Democrats!

These people make me sick. They are just as bad as Neo-Nazis on the streets of Birmingham. They are just as bad as bomb making terrorists in Iraq. They are just as bad as gang members on the streets of Chicago. Wrong is wrong and no amount of media coverage is going to change that fact!

The Republicans better wake up and stop talking about a “movement” in this country. The people are sick of both sides of the aisle; corrupt democrats and ineffective republicans. Something needs to break before we end up with socialized medicine and more taxpayer bailouts of corporations. The President is now talking about more stimulus for newspapers. Great, spend more money! Its not like we have it just ready to be picked off the trees. Well, wait a minute. The FED is printing away aren’t they?

One last note before I get back to my life. During his speak before Congress where Joe Wilson correctly called the president a liar, Mr. Obama said that he brought the country’s economy “back from the brink.” I ask you, good reader, do you really think the economy is turning around? Or is this a coordinated effort by the White House, the Left media and the spin doctors to make us all feel better? My economic situation is the worse it has been in years. My businesses are gone, and my family is barely making it day by day. How about you? Have you seen the economic turnaround that was promised? Do you find it easy to find work? Do you have more money in the bank now? Is your family better off because of Obama’s stimulus?

Mine isn’t.
