Steps are being taken

to prevent ACORN from getting their stimulus bribe. But, is it a day late and an effort short?

Within the last week, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has introduced several amendments to various pieces of legislation to prohibit ACORN from receiving taxpayer funds and to prevent the group from helping carry out the 2010 census.

Congressional Democrats have fought King's efforts, rejecting each amendment he has submitted.

Since 1994, ACORN has received more than $53 million in federal funds, according to the report.

Specifically, the report made the following criminal allegations:

1. ACORN has evaded taxes, obstructed justice, engaged in self-dealing, and aided and abetted a cover-up of embezzlement by Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke.
   
   
2. ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in racketeering affecting interstate commerce.
   
   
3. ACORN has committed a conspiracy to defraud the United States by using taxpayer funds for partisan political activities.
   
   
4. ACORN has submitted false filings to the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor, in addition to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
   
   
5. ACORN falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

A few last posts

Just a quick jot before I jet off to my amigo's nuptials. First up, Rodger has a 'lil rundown of the healthcare travesty currently making it's way through Congress. I strongly suggest you go read it. It's worse than we thought, folks. This is total and complete government takeover of the health care industry.

Second - I've seen this linked by quite a few folks, so let me get in on the linky action here. Peggy Noonan is jealous.

You're Peggy Noonan and you're jealous. You do stuff, too -- and yet all you hear is Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Don't they read your columns, don't they understand that she's "dropping her G's," that she is "faux down-home, patronizing-and infantilizing"? You have ten, maybe a hundred times the vocabulary she has, and yet they're talking about her. Don't you read my columns, people!? She is a "dope and unqualified," representative of "a new vulgarization" and still, they talk about her.

Now here's my little qualifier for anyone who wants to tell me what the Republican Stupid Party should do - did that person advocate for or vote for Obama? If so, they can go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. They aren't conservative at all. Period. Do not vote for Obama and then tell me how to be conservative, because you've proven that you don't know the meaning of the word. It would be like a vegitarian trying to tell me how to eat a steak.

Quote of the day: Anything that requires the labor of someone else cannot be a universal human right.

Damn skippy. And now I'm off. I'll see you all later, probably around Wednesday.

Bloggus Interuptus part oh hell who knows

Only this time, it's not for the military! I have a buddy who's getting hitched, and I'm going to his wedding. The Ragin' Mrs. will be staying back, so I've given her carte blanche to rip the guts out of my computer while I'm gone. Since the Windows Vista virus has once again reduced my computer to little shards of what it used to be, she'll be doing a full re-format and reload on it.

I hate Vista.

So anyways, while the Mrs. might be posting a bit, I will not be until next week. But that's why I have the blogroll, right?

As an aside, if there's any folks who used to post here, who would still like the ability to do so, speak up in the comments. I'm about to go through all the people who have permissions and start deleting anyone who hasn't posted in a while.

That'll leave a mark....

Watching Kevin Baker tear apart the gun bigots is worth every minute.

I'm linking to it

Not only to keep it from being ignored, but also to show just who we on the Right are fighting:

Stokes County sheriff's deputies arrested the president of the local NAACP chapter on child sex and firearms charges Monday.

CBS affiliate WFMY reports that Larry Lash, 54, of Walnut Cove, was charged with six counts of statutory rape and two counts of sex offense and first-degree sex offense, among other sex charges.

Sheriff Mike Joyce told WFMY that there were three victims, including two under 16-years-old and that the alleged sex acts took place at Lash's home over a period of time.

Investigators found five guns and ammunition at Lash's house when they arrested him, leading to a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon. According to state Department of Correction records, Lash was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 1974 and assault by pointing a gun and discharging a firearm into property in 1978.

I'm not going to hold a guy accountable for a crime he committed and did jail time for twenty years ago, but it does call into question his mental status. And the fact that the media doesn't seem to want to report on this story means that there's a political angle to it.

Now add on the fact that the NAACP is one of the most partisan, plantation-guarding groups out there, and that they always, ALWAYS go for the Democrat.... there shouldn't be any doubt as to why the media doesn't want to carry the story.

Leftist Tactics

Just a quick scribble before I head off this morning - observe the perfect Leftist tactics as used by one former Honduran President:

A Spanish Catalan newspaper is reporting that Honduran authorities have seized computers found in the Presidential Palace belonging to deposed president Mel Zelaya. Taking a page right out of the leftist dictator's handbook, these computers, according to the news report, contained the official and certified results of the illegal constitutional referendum Zelaya wanted to conduct that never took place. The results of this fraudulent vote was tilted heavily in Zelaya's favor, ensuring he could go ahead and illegally change the constitution so he could remain in power for as long as he wanted to.

Huh, imagine that. The results of an election that never took place were found on the dictator-wanna-be's computer. Gosh, I wonder why? And thank god Honduras kicked that bastard out before he could play his endgame. And no, I'm not surprised that Obama supported Zelaya - they're of the same mindset.

Obama won't salute America's flag...

But he will salute Ghana's......

If it wasn't the 6,000th time he's done this sort of thing we could call it a gaffe... but really.

Reaping what they sow

When something like this happens...

My wife's employer just sent her a letter announcing that, as of August 1st ...

1. Employee retirement funds will be frozen
2. Funds will no longer accrue
3. And this little bombshell

You need to just write it down, because the communists, idiots, and Democrats (multiple redundancy alert) will deny that they ever, EVER meant for this to happen.

Liars.

They will reap what they sow.
