You are a relative newbie here on FR.
The comment was not meant as an admonishment to you; rather a semi sarcastic rejoinder at large.
Your statement as to “Most Readers” is appropriate to the FR readership, but not, unfortunately, to the rest of our fellow citizens.
Most Americans, IMHO, have no idea how ACORN is funded; nor do they care, as almost 50% of working Americans now receive a net Income Tax rebate, thanks to the EITC.
“You are a relative newbie here on FR.”
And what does that have to do with anything?
I am an American citizen - conservative in political view - devoted and loyal to my country, a Combat Veteran in that little Vietnam thing and much more — My credentials as a devoted American citizen are quite valid. I’ve paid my dues in the support of the U.S.A. Time spent as a member of FR trumps that... you say?
Freepers who use this worn our phrase need to re-evaluate ... WE are all in this together in the fight against the Obama, Reid/Pelosi oppressive government ‘ya know.
I attended the 9/12 March on DC - did you? Just got back last night - drove 3000 miles round trip to help defend my country, culture and freedom ... I believe I understand the issues.
“The comment was not meant as an admonishment to you”. So - make that clear if you please in your original remarks...
Most FR readers know where ACORN gets most of its money. Since this is posted on FR, I was not concerned about what the general public might or might not think or understand... After all FR members new or old are a ‘cut above’
