We have over 300,000,000 privately owned firearms in this country. Granted, many of them are 2 and more to one person.

But we’re very, very many armed Americans. The Persian army would have nothing on America.

Don't forget the prime ACORN enabler.

ACORN benefactor/organizer/ trainer Barack H. Obama, Esq., contributed to the hostile environment for banks when he represented ACORN in the 1995 class action lawsuit against Citibank ........demanding the bank grant mortgages to an equal percentage of minority and non-minority mortgage applicants.

We're finding out now that some of these "homeowners" were illegals who were never asked for proofs---pay stubs, SS numbers, etc. As long as the applicants had a pulse and could write their names, they got the loan. Food stamps were considered a gauge of income.

Many of these loans were flipped back and forth among illegal immigrant families for higher and higher profits, duping the banks at every turn. When they did enough damage, the last "homeowner" defaulted and departed for Mexico with thousands in cash.....leaving the bank (and taxpayers) holding the bag.

=========================================

Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which opened banking to ACORN-style agitation that over time weakened underwriting criteria and helped to alter the culture of financial institutions in the U.S. This 1977 law, whose enactment ACORN lobbied for, punishes lenders for limiting loans to wealthier, more creditworthy markets, a practice called "redlining." It gives banking regulators discretionary authority to make trouble for banks that fail to lend enough money to "underserved" minority communities.

ACORN refuses to acknowledge its role in the current crisis.... Michael Ettlinger of John Podesta's Center for American Progress feverishly derides CRA critics as "antigovernment ideologues," while Business Week's Aaron Pressman calls them "know-nothings."

Not to be outdone, ACORN ally House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass) says criticism of CRA law is tantamount to attacking poor people and minorities.

......even as the economic fallout spreads, getting these class-warriors to admit they're wrong about anything is an exercise in futility. Liberals reflexively defend ACORN----twisting themselves into rhetorical pretzels defending the catastrophic economic egalitarianism of the CRA.

Arrest warrants on these pukes should be served at high velocity. If the blowdart speed is too slow, then we may have to increase...

BTT!

Bump!

Organized, and federally funded thuggery.

[SunkenCiv]

An activist with ACORN -- the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now -- faces criminal charges after breaking into a home in southeast Baltimore on Thursday to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the country.

Yeah, I'm sure he was just "protesting". When I knock over a bank, I'll be protesting the bailout, and this message will prove my innocence.

The video was shown on the evening news in Australia...poor poor woman, thrown out of her house, saved by ACORN!

With billions of dollars just handed to them and their best buddy in the WH, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Good point. Count me in the willing minority! BTW, my aim is pretty dang good.

[CSM]

Good catch. But I do have to admit that after reviewing my spelling error, I might have unintentionally stumbled upon the real problem.

This morning on our local radio show, I heard that:

-Donna Hanks was a member of ACORN

-Donna Hanks somehow refinanced this house from ~$87k 2001 buying price to ~$260k c.2004. How's them apples? SHE got a huge jump in the value but realistically couldn't pay it then either!

In Wayne County, Michigan, Sheriff Warren Evans suspended all foreclosure sales on Feb. 2 until a federal plan to combat foreclosures can be implemented, spokesman John Roach said. In Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones has reportedly ordered deputies not to evict residents who have no other housing options during the winter months. And in Cook County, Illinois, where a record 4,487 foreclosures occurred last year, Sheriff Thomas Dart appointed an attorney to review all eviction orders in October in order to protect individuals who continued to pay rent after their buildings were seized by banks.

You know, this sounds like Baltimore's mayor (Gov. O'Malley) telling all to ignore illegal-alien laws.

Cox said he expects homesteading — refusing to vacate a foreclosed property — will become common as blame for the foreclosure crisis increasingly shifts from homeowners to financial corporations.

Oh, of course, we can never blame poor innocent individuals; it's always the companies. Individuals - especially poor blacks - are always good and moral and companies are always evil.

“Essentially a backdoor funding by barney frank”

That has so many nightmarish visions....

[the OlLine Rebel]

Specifically, it’s “traitor to the Constitution of the US”. Because if we change the whole system and still call it US, the Constitution is invalid and thus, one wouldn’t be a traitor.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Our “revolution” wasn’t really that. The others did indeed overthrow their governments. We just left the government of Britain.
