No laws, no rule of law. Anarchy. This is so outrageous, it leaves one feeling..... powerless. Raping America. Ethics, morals, the best of America squashed in a stealth coup. ACORN is a criminal racketeering organizations. Prostitution, child trafficking, fraud, illegal voter registration -- all sanctioned and financed by ACORN. It's a sewer, and so is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Obama Justice Department Shut Down Federal ACORN Investigation According to Documents Obtained by Judicial Watch Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detailing federal investigations into the alleged corrupt activities of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)....

Obama's Private Youth Army: Recruiting 8-Year-Olds

Atlas Shrugs  | Links  | Related | Mar 12, 2010 12:38 AM EST

First of all, it needs to be said: Obama, get your hands off our kids. Seriously. Stop the fascist recruitment. It's sick. Obama said he was going to build a civilian army -- and he is using our children. How? He uses the classrooms, as I exclusively broke the story here: Organizing for America recruitment in the classroom. But AmeriCorps (can Obama pronounce the second syllable?) is the machinery for his youth army. And there is huge dough behind it -- yours and mine. A year ago, Obama's putsch of hope and change rammed the huge “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE act), HR 1388, through the Senate: He tied his FEMA Scheme for the Civilian Security Defense Force into this legislation, but now they’re called “National Volunteer Reserve Corps.” This creates images of the Peace Corps,...

This new video is currently the featured clip on the Senate Democrats’ YouTube site. It’s health insurance-bashing demagoguery and dumbing-down and cowardice and child exploitation at its worst. Watch what the Senate Democrats have entitled “Young Health Care Activist Discusses Health Insurance Industry Abuses:” On Wednesday, I told you about how the Democrats have resurrected the [...]

Getting Kukris

Jules Crittenden (Forward Movement)  | Links  | Related | Mar 12, 2010 12:00 AM EST

Big Stick Combat looks at machetes and kukris as tools and as fighting weapons. Nice, straightforward description of the kukri’s fundamentals:   The kukri as wielded by the Nepalese Gurkha warriors is an example of a field machete. The emphasis on using the kukri in combat (and I would argue the Filipino field machetes, too) is not so much [...]

Hop Aboard the Nanny Train

Worldwide Standard  | Links  | Related | Mar 12, 2010 12:00 AM EST

Washington, D.C.'s Metro remains a great manifestation of liberalism today. Although it was created at the zenith of the Great Society, and although its union workforce gains overly generous pensions and maintains ridiculous job security, it is Metro's management of its passengers—its attempt to save passengers from their own idiocy—that earns it this title.   Metro riders receive all kinds of helpful announcements: They’re told to cover their mouths while they cough, pick up their newspapers when they’re done reading them, not to leave their cellphones behind, wash their hands regularly, not to sit on the escalator stairs or stand too close to the edge of the platform, that inclement weather can make floors slippery, and to stand clear of the closing train doors. Repeatedly. Despite the best...

Iraq: Mission Accomplished! (Really, Now)

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run  | Links  | Related | Mar 11, 2010 11:46 PM EST

Glenn Greenwald notes a phenomenon I discussed/predicted back in 2003 and again in 2007 regarding how the world's thought leaders tend to spin a war once its biggest costs are seemingly in the past. The Iraq war is now a success !: It was only a matter of time before American elites abandoned their faux regret over Iraq.  For tribalists and nationalists, America can err in its execution but never in its motives.  There's no question -- as this glorifying, propagandistic Newsweek cover story reflects -- that it's now official dogma that this was the right thing to do, or at least that we produced something great and wonderful for that country, as was our intent all along (leaving aside the what is actually happening in Iraq ).  It's nothing short of nauseating to watch...

A Question for the Media

Atlas Shrugs  | Links  | Related | Mar 11, 2010 11:06 PM EST

The media's coverage of the Rifqa Bary case has been so incompetent it borders on criminal. It's dhimmi media, for sure. For example, the case of the immigration question, I must ask, why isn't the media asking? If the parents' immigration status is 'unclear' (which it is not, as I broke the story of their illegal paperwork here), how can Rifqa be illegal? How can her parents be one thing and not another and why haven't those tax evaders been deported? And why hasn't the media ONCE pursued the immigration question? Look at this: The Columbus Dispatch, the home of hijabed Heagney: Her attorney, Angela Lloyd, said Rifqa is an undocumented immigrant and expressed concern about her legal status. Lloyd said Rifqas parents are pursuing what she called their own immigration relief. The family is from Sri Lanka, and...

ACORN Out of Business in Ohio

Blogs For Victory  | Links  | Related | Mar 11, 2010 11:01 PM EST

One down, 49 to go : ACORN, the liberal group notorious for allegedly trying to inflate voter rolls through fraudulent practices, has seen its last election in Ohio. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now will permanently surrender its Ohio business license by June1 as part of a legal settlement with the conservative Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions, both sides said yesterday. ACORN was active in Ohio in the 2006 and 2008 elections, working to register thousands of low-income people to vote and get them to the polls. The group's efforts were marred by irregularities, including one case in which ACORN workers allegedly induced a Cleveland man to register to vote 72 times, offering cigarettes as an incentive. Keep your eyes peeled for some sort of successor...

9th Circuit Affirms 'In God We Trust,' and 'under God'

Riehl World View  | Links  | Related | Mar 11, 2010 11:00 PM EST

I wonder if Obama will pick a fight with the 9th Circuit, on top of his attacking the Supremes? Elections have consequences . A Bush appointee wrote the majority opinion. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal appeals court upheld the use of the words 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance and 'In God We Trust' on U.S. currency, rejecting arguments Thursday that the phrases violate the separation of church and state. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel rejected two legal challenges by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, who said the references to God are unconstitutional and infringe on his religious beliefs. Judge Carlos Bea, who was appointed by Bush in 2003, wrote for the majority in Thursday's 2-1 ruling. 'The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation...

Chavez to useful idiot Sean Penn: Thanks for defending me, amigo!

Sister Toldjah  | Links  | Related | Mar 11, 2010 09:55 PM EST

Because no deed , good or bad , goes unnoticed by Ooogo: Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it. And this is mainstream media. There should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies. Penn, who has visited Chávez in Caracas, said Venezuela's poor majority had willingly embraced his leftist revolution, but that this view was concealed from Americans. We are hypnotised by the media. Who do you know here who's gone through 14 of the most transparent elections on the globe, and has been elected democratically, as Hugo Chávez? Penn, speaking on Bill Maher's HBO chatshow, is part of a small but vocal pro-Chávez Hollywood group which includes Oliver Stone...
