A blog about my own opinions and things I have been learning about politics and American values. Its time to stop being led like sheep to the slaughter and to stand up and fight for what you believe in. Stop putting trust in politicians and start putting faith in God. The founders of our nation wanted equal opportunity, not equal stuff for the citizens.

ACORN again? Its nuts! (pun intended)

In case you haven't followed any of the ACORN stuff that's been going on, I encourage you to watch the videos linked in the following summary.

ACORN helps us into economic crisis:
Basically ACORN is one of the groups encouraging and even pressuring and blackmailing banks into giving home loans to people who could not afford them. Isn't that what caused the housing crisis? Hmm...
More on that:
And ACORN was to receive like 20% of the bailout money...?
ACORN election fraud:
Um... yeah... just ridiculous. They were registering underage people, dead people, random people out of the phone book, made up names, etc.
ACORN consults on how to run child prostitution part 1
ACORN consults on how to run child prostitution part 2:
I can't believe some of the stuff in this video. Prostitution is classified as a "Performing Art" to make it look like a legitimate business, yeah I can't really handle this one so just watch it.
Obama ACORN connection
Obama dismisses ALL of this as "not a big issue"
Obama: ACORN will help shape my presidential agenda

The list goes on and on. And now, I read the following in todays news.
In a written ruling Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon made permanent her conclusion last year that the cutoff of funding was unconstitutional. She ordered all federal agencies to put the word out about it.

The Brooklyn judge said ACORN was punished by Congress without the enactment of administrative processes to decide if money had been handled inappropriately. She said the harm to ACORN's reputation continues because the government never rescinded its advice to withhold funding after it was distributed to "hundreds, if not thousands, of recipients."


What?! She is basically accusing Congress of passing a bill of attainder here. And I mean she is technically right. But, wouldn't you think in a case like this you would want to at least withhold funds until after the time that a trial can be held? I can't help but feel that she was just given the perfect opportunity to help out Obama and his cronies on a technicality and loophole. This had better not be the end of the story.
