ACORN: The Poisonous NUT
That Ended Democracy in America

In truth, ACORN is the most virulent, organized crime group in this decade...and it is funded by YOU.

I hate it when the Canadian press does a better job of playing Paul Revere than the media that should be ringing the warning bell. Ours. But they have here. Again.

ACORN is strikingly similar to the formative Sturmabteilung, also known as the SA. of the National Socialist Party in the 1930's. And we're funding it.

How many have your name?

There are 305,335,105 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.

There are 50,421 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,067 people named James Bond, 115 people named Harry Potter , 512 people named George Bush, and 32 people named Emily Dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, very few boys named Sue.

What about you? How many people share your name? Enter it and find out how many of you there are.

Has Sarah Palin Been Picked as the Titular Head of the Coming Police State?

clipper's remarks: Reports confirmed my suspicions: Palin, not McCain, is the FrankenBarbie of the Rove-Cheney cabal. The strategy became clear. Time magazine reported that Rove is "dialed in" to the McCain campaign. Rove's protege Steve Schmidt is now campaign manager. And Politico reported that Rove was heavily involved in McCain's vice presidential selection. Finally a new report shows that there are dozens of Bush and Rove operatives surrounding Sarah Palin and orchestrating her every move.

What's the plan? It is this. McCain doesn't matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state and be the ta

Palin will help to establish a true and irreversible 'fear society' in this once free once proud nation.

Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah "Evita" Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state.

You have to understand how things work in a closing society in order to understand "Palin Power." A gang or cabal seizes power, usually with an affable, weak figurehead at the fore. Then they will hold elections -- but they will make sure that the election will be corrupted and that the next affable, weak figurehead is entirely in their control. Remember, Russia has Presidents; Russia holds elections. Dictators and gangs of thugs all over the world hold elections. It means nothing. When a cabal has seized power you can have elections and even presidents, but you don't have freedom.

Russia: 64% of Pregnancies End in Abortion

250,000 women/year left infertile from abortion complications

St. Petersburg, (LifeSIteNews.com) – Alarmingly high abortion rates in Russia are leaving an increasing number of women infertile, said Marina Tarasova, deputy head of the St. Petersburg Research Institute For Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at an international conference on Monday.

The St. Petersburg Times reported that with 64 percent of Russian women procuring abortions, 200,000 to 250,000 women each year are stripped of their biological ability to procreate because of permanent effects from the procedure.

The Russian government is attempting to promote family values within the country, naming 2008, “The Year of the Family.” Abortions, however, are still offered free of charge at all state clinics.

Just in case there was any doubt, here is what many women are feeling about Sarah Palin, the person to not vote for just because she is a woman.

The rally was organized by a small group of women, talking over coffee. It made me wonder what other things have started with small groups of women talking over coffee. It’s probably an impressive list. These women hatched the plan, printed up flyers, posted them around town, and sent notices to local media outlets. One of those media outlets was KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke, a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host. Turns out that Eddie Burke not only announced the rally, but called the people who planned to attend the rally “a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots,” and read the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The women, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages.

The guy promoting the free taxi program to register the homeless in Ohio exults: “It’s a perfect opportunity for them to come in, register at a temporary address like a homeless shelter or a YMCA or something like that. They can register at that address because they don’t know where they’re going to be tomorrow or next week.”

An unnamed source…related a heartwarming story of a 15 passenger van dropping off a load of drunk, homeless guys at Vet’s Memorial in Columbus. The organizers were just trying to allow these men to exercise their right to vote, but it seemed that they were all too drunk to get in line. What commenced was a “homeless rodeo” where the organizers had to wrangle the men from the parking lot and load them back in the van.

Another woman describes trolling bus stops and picking up prospects: “I asked ‘em if they’re registered to vote and if they weren’t, I said ‘Get in the car, I’m bringing you!’”

Goats, curses and 100 years of Cubs angst

After a century of losing, can Chicago fans dare dream of a championship?

Bill Sianis holds up a blown-up clipping from Oct. 6, 1945, when his great uncle, William Sianis, tried to bring a goat into Game 4 of the World Series. The goat was denied entry, and a peeved Sianis said the Cubs would never win again. Thus began the Curse of the Billy Goat.

Successors to Murphy the goat haven't sat right outside the manager's office, on cardboard, blithely eating lettuce since 2003 — better known to Chicago Cubs fans as the Year of Bartman.

Yet on a warm September Thursday, the spirit of the goat, and Bartman, and any other cursed thing that's kept the Cubs from winning a World Series for 100 years, might as well be sequestered in some distant barn. These businessmen are seriously considering that the current Cubs, with the best record in the National League, will end the 2008 season cursed no more.

Did the Community Reinvestment Act cause the subprime meltdown?

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:45:44 GMT

clipped by: jklugman
clipper's remarks: There have been many clips here arguing that the Community Reinvestment Act (legislation forcing banks to loan in areas from which they take deposits, enacted in 1977 and strengthened in 1995) caused the subprime meltdown, because banks were forced to make loans in poor areas.

Robert Gordon shows that the CRA could not have been responsible for the subprime meltdown for two reasons:

1. Timing--CRA activity largely slowed down by 2002, yet sub-prime lending continued to intensify.
2. Lenders NOT covered by CRA played a huge role in sub-prime lending. "Half of sub-prime loans came from...mortgage companies beyon the reach of CRA...Most important, the lenders subject to CRA have engaged in less, not more, of the most dangerous lending...Independent mortgage companies...not covered by CRA, made high-price loans at more than twice the rate of the banks and thrifts."

Clip Source: www.prospect.org

First, consider timing.

In the mid-1990s, new CRA regulations and a wave of mergers led to a flurry of CRA activity, but, as noted by the New America Foundation's Ellen Seidman (and by Harvard's Joint Center), that activity "largely came to an end by 2001." In late 2004, the Bush administration announced plans to sharply weaken CRA regulations, pulling small and mid-sized banks out from under the law's toughest standards. Yet sub-prime lending continued, and even intensified -- at the very time when activity under CRA had slowed and the law had weakened.

Second, it is hard to blame CRA for the mortgage meltdown when CRA doesn't even apply to most of the loans that are behind it.

Mayor 'just curious' if Obama is antichrist

By STUART WATSON / NewsChannel 36
SWatson@WCNC.com

Posted: Sunday, Sep. 28, 2008

FORT MILL, S.C. -- Fort Mill Mayor Danny Funderburk says he was �just curious� when he forwarded a chain e-mail suggesting Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is the biblical antichrist. �I was just curious if there was any validity to it,� Funderburk said in a telephone interview. �I was trying to get documentation if there was any scripture to back it up.�

The e-mail, which has circulated in the last six months since Obama secured the Democratic nomination, claims the biblical book of Revelation says the antichrist will be in his 40s and of Muslim ancestry.

There is no such scripture. And Obama is not a Muslim. But that hasn�t stopped the e-mail.

The urban legend Web site Snopes.com first exploded the myth in March. Funderburk forwarded the e-mail this month.

Virginia Teachers Union Sparks Outrage With 'Obama Blue Day'

Virginia Republicans are in an uproar after the state teacher's union sent an e-mail to its members encouraging them to wear blue-colored shirts to school to show their support for Barack Obama.

The Virginia Education Association sponsored "Obama Blue Day" on Tuesday. In an e-mail sent last week, it urged teachers to participate by dressing in blue.

"There are people out there not yet registered. You teach some of them," the Sept. 25 e-mail reads. "Others, including our members, remain on the fence! Its time for us to come together, voice our unity, because we make a difference!"

"Let's make Obama Blue Day a day of Action!" the e-mail continues. "Barack the vote!"

The invitation was not intended to "encourage teachers to use their classrooms for partisan political purposes," Boitnott said.
