ACORN's Nutty Regime for Cities
City Journal ^ | Spring 2003 | Sol Stern

Posted on 10/11/2008 9:36:20 AM PDT by the Real fifi

If you thought the New Left was dead in America, think again. Walk through just about any of the nation’s inner cities, and you’re likely to find an office of ACORN, bustling with young people working 12-hour days to “organize the poor” and bring about “social change.” The largest radical group in the country, ACORN has 120,000 dues-paying members, chapters in 700 poor neighborhoods in 50 cities, and 30 years’ experience. It boasts two radio stations, a housing corporation, a law office, and affiliate relationships with a host of trade-union locals. Not only big, it is effective, with some remarkable successes in getting municipalities and state legislatures to enact its radical policy goals into law.

ACORN is destroying our cities thru efforts to desmantle welfare reform, "living wage" demands of govt contractors;and then limiting growth outside those urban centers--it is immiserating us all with its nutty leftist policies.

McCain needs to come out and say that nobody likes a cheater. And ACORN is a bunch of cheaters and they support Senator Obama. Do you really want the first black president, whose character is questionable, elected through cheating even though minorities ascending to the White House is patently inevitable in the future? And what about our prosperity and security. Obama has very little experience in government, period.

And now that they have “community organized the markets their goal is to “community organize” the Constitution.

If they can bring us down then they can claim that Marxism works after all.

Actually, ACORN pays its people.

Based on how much money they collect in their “quota” doing door-to-door fundraising, and the number of newly registered voters they bring in.

McCain need to do a lot of things, but didn’t.

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

There is a model on how to create a crisis that leads to collapse called the Cloward-Piven Strategy as detailed on DiscoverTheNetwork.org. ACORN has used it effectively on our election process. Scary that this has been in the works since the 60’s and is now coming to fruition. Marxists don’t give up.

Thanks to ACORN a few years ago my old hometown of La Crosse, Wisconsin (where McCain held a rally yesterday) instituted a living wage clause in its relationships with local firms who do business with the city. The city has been struggling for years to get businesses back in the city. The effect of this will mean many small businesses will not locate in La Crosse to avoid paying inexperienced help wages far above what they deserve. Living wages sounds great if you’re young and have few skills. Small consolation if there are no jobs to be had because certain businesses refuse to be held hostage by nutty city ordinances.
