ACORN's Good Deeds

Set aside the fact that if President Obama were a conservative the media would portray the Acorn scandal as Tea Pot Dome, Iran-Contra, and Watergate cubed, all rolled into one, that if the media merely had photos of a single Acorn official attending a Republican fundraiser, liberals would be screaming like stuck pigs (actually not that uncommon), and what liberals would say if John McCain gave 800,000 dollars to any organization simply promoting conservative beliefs much less to a non-profit, (in hopes of making a profit), corrupt, unethical arm of his presidential campaign that turns quid pro quo into a four letter word, Democrats undoubtedly would have drafted articles of impeachment prior election day. Don't even ponder the absurdity of fantasy land dwellers urging President Obama to call for an investigation of ACORN. I'm confident if President Obama actually sponsored a credible investigation of ACORN, the end result would be the political equivalent of what would have happened to Androcles if he had told the lion to pull out his own damn thorn.

ACORN's defense that its just a few bad apples, or a low level human resources failure, or a matter of inadequate training is light years beyond plausible much less a product of a rational mind. It is obvious the recent videos display an uncommonly thorough, intense, and well focused degree of training and instruction. If anyone could actually view these tapes where ACORN employees enthusiastically offer advice on how to skirt around a minimum of federal offenses as low level ACORN employees acting independently and extemporaneously must have grown up thinking that lead and mercury were amoung the basic food groups.

Given the degree of perversion in today's society, the only mistake the videographer and woman posing as a prostitute made was that they claimed only to have imported a collection of underage, undocumented girls for their operation and failed to include a like number of young boys in their script. These videos, however, do amount to evidence that President Obama and his inner circle of capatalism despising mobsters do find some examples of the entrepreneurial spirit acceptable. And, given these videos, perhaps people should not be so quick to dismiss complaints about the practices of Planned Parenthood because it is evident that ACORN, the organization most closley affiliated with President Obama, thinks the ideal village it takes to raise a child must first and foremost be a criminal enterprise.

I would be remiss if I failed to commend our noble congress for their swift, decisive, and courageous move to defund ACORN. I'm sure this will prove as deleterious to ACORN's operation and influence as pulling one leg off a centipede. With the immense number of and far reaching tenticles of the leftists infrastructure in this country, defunding ACORN probably won't even amount to a modest speed bump. And of course many in Congress did not vote to cut off federal dollars to ACORN. To these fine men and women, who indignantly proclaim how wrong it is to penalize a whole organization that has done so much good, for the actions of a few bad apples, I wonder what good they are referring to? Could it be calling any institution racists that did not loan money to people that haven't a snow balls chance in hell of paying it back? Or perhaps registering to vote many thousand of Disney characters, Civil and Revolutionary war veterans, illegal aliens, and I imagine all those that join Jimmy Hoffa for poker every Friday night. I do understand why ACORN and the Obama administration might view the dead as the finest of Americans and worthy of continued political participation for their carbon footprints require a CSI team or cadaver dog to find.

I suspect the lone objection the Democratic Party has to ACORN's get out to vote drive is that they were not adequately creative in generating the phony identities to register. Perhaps if they had steered clear of Sponge Bob Square Pants and the like, and used names like; San Fran Cisco, Minnesota Fats Sr., Minnesota Fats Jr., Minnesota Fats III, . . . , our crack(ed) mainstream media may not have ever caught on. Of course even the cartoon characters were not reported in time to impact the 2008 election or rescue this country. Thank you, no longer free, but sold at a bargain price press.

I close with one last thought: Does anyone else find it a bit perplexing that an organization that sights the abomination of slavey as justification for all that they do, and constantly promotes reparations for that historical wrong, would so unhesitatingly support and endorse a type of slavery that is arguably worse?
