If a picture is worth a thousand words, a VIDEO must be priceless.
.
Here's Bertha Lewis, late of ACORN, talking to a group of Young, Socialist, Democrats, in NY, last month.
.
And anyone who says ACORN isn't LEANING socialistic after this video is just too dense for words. Remember, this IS President Obama's favorite organizing group. If GWB had been tied this close to the KKK, The John Birch Society or the Rotary Club, we'd have seen impeachment proceedings.

It certainly would have been the front page, headline story throughout the MslimeM.

"If it were a republican doiing this WAHHHH!"
Don't you people ever get tired of claiming victimhood status?
If you were truly made to pay for your actions by a biased press, you'd all be living behind barbed wire in work camps for what your vile, ignorance-based ideology did to the country after ruling it for nearly 30 years.
There's still time. I am convinced that within my lifetime we will see people afraid to even mention that they are conservatives for fear of becoming ditch fill.
Just which 30 years are you referring to? I hear about this 30 years from Liberal wonks all the time.
Enlighten me, oh Sage.
And once again, let me remind you of that nasty, nasty 1st Amendment. I'll wager you'll count your now conservative enemies as friends if the shit hits the fan. Because we will protect your right to say what you want. You'd get no such freedom from a socialist or communist government. Look at Cuba, or Venezuela.
Anon, your long on hatred and short on reality. And facts I've YET seen from you. Show me the 30 years.
Both parties have pursued an agenda of conservatism. From tax cuts to deregulation to free market "reforms", we have followed a conservative agenda since 1980. Republicans have ruled much more than democrats, conservatives mostly. Liberalism has been dormant since the 1960s.
When things were going well, while we were charging up the credit cards and building debt towards the meltdown, conservatives would crow about the power and influence they wielded, from reagan to bush II. It's only been since the collapse that conservatives have distanced themselves from the mess, making the absurd claim that they were never in power but were always the underdogs.
Go no further than the Heritage Foundation website and writings by lee edwards, the official historian of the conservative movement. He's written countless articles and books on how conservatism dominated and shaped the last 30 years. haven't heard much from him lately.
Do you forget the crowing about "A New Conservative Century" and "A Permanent Republican Majority"?

If liberals weren't such pussies they would have whipped the people into a frenzy of HATE and sent conservatives to work camps in the desert. I sure would have. Call me a Nazi but the republicans deserve such a beat down.
The consolation I have is knowing that the disaster brought about by those 30 years has destroyed MANY conservatives in the middle class. As I grow old I'll get to watch as the children and grandchildren of those people struggle in a declining, debt-laden, increasingly savage cesspool country.
You bet I'm long on hate. You people better hope people like me NEVER gain full control or we'll make Stalin look like Santa Claus.

You are a communist. I am tiring of your threats, I am a man of action, soooo let's get together and deal with this like a couple of men. I don't turn the other cheek unless it is to get a better view of what I am going to destroy next. Just ask I will meet you in a venue of your choice. You have no educated argument, you spew communist retoric and have your lips firmly planted on Obama's asshole. All I can say is Bring It!!!!!!!!!!
Yup Anon. You are a nazi. By every bit of the definition. And Cowpill, you have to wait your turn. I'm first!
Hmmm...once again, no facts and figures just the same rhetoric.
And BTW, there has been a liberal leaning, liberal stranglehold on Congress since the 1930's, until Newt and the boys anyway. And you've had it back several years, where's the difference in the country you guys ALWAYS promise?
And going by this weeks MslimeM blatherings I'll just guess you're as clueless as the re-pinion-orters who said Beck, Limbaugh et al, are seditionists for saying we live under a "regime, but the liberal guys saying it were actually using the word correctly when THEY used the same term regarding Obama?
I doubt you'll get that, but...
It gets old reading your comments, but at least you've reined in your language enough to be allowed your thoughts. I'll eventually get tired of your threats I guess, like others here already have, but they're toothless. You'll scream and carry on ANON on a website, but as far as being dangerous, HA. I doubt you own a gun, I own a number and the associated rounds of ammunition, so I feel plenty safe. And God only knows where you are, so coming to my door seems like a no go. You are typical IMO, you think we should be rounded up, but haven't the BALLS to attempt it, or even join an organization that might be tasked with doing it. You'll be awfully surprised at the lack of OOMPH such an order will have. As will your fearless leaders.
The number of "fellow travelers" in the military, guard and police forces is very small.
The rising anger you see in this country can and will easily shift to the rich and the conservative as it has so many times throughout history. One more round of republican rule should do it.
It's too bad McCain and the republicans weren't able to continue the destruction started by reagan and continued by newt and the boys or it would have already happened.
And you'd be typing your blog from behind barbed wire.
Anonymous,
As is so typical these days, you confuse "conservative" with "republican". The two aren't synonymous. It is liberals, demoncrats, and left leaning republitards like Olympia Snow, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and the like that have savaged and sabotaged and subverted The Constitution into the perverse anachronism it has become.
Conservatives - genuine, true conservatives - want to return to this great country to the concepts of our Founding Fathers. Concepts like liberty and freedom, local control and a limited federal government, individualism, low and equitable tax rates, etc., etc., etc.
What is it about the origin and traditions of this nation that scares you/angers you?
rocky
This Stalinist marxist slime that can't even think up a name to go by is just a piece of shit not worth the time to respond people.
Though he did say one true thing:
"If liberals weren't such pussies"
And it is true, liberals are nothing than cum sucking pussies that would love nothing more than to dismantle the U.S. Constitution and install their fucking communist wet-dream "utopia".
You see they just think the U.S.S.R had communism all wrong, they will "do it right".
Keep sucking your professor's cock you ignorant piece of shit and see how far that "english lit" degree gets you scumbag.
I am with others here, you bore the shit out of me and I'd kick your ass from here to Sunday if you ever dared tread on me.
Now get off your mother's computer and get to class dickhead.
Oh HJR, you people always like to talk tough but when you feel a pinch you run to Daddy gubmint for help.
I can't tell you how many of your kind I've met who find themselves unemployed, disabled (or just FAT), kid with a handicap, kid with an expensive disease, victim of a natural disaster, parents requiring nursing home care, yada yada, who then go running to the collective for their checks.
That's the problem with you subhuman garbage conservatives. You have no empathy and no desire to be a good citizen. You just want to take when you need and not let anybody else get helped.
You're like the guy who eats out with the group, orders the most expensive meal and the most drinks. Then when the check comes you're hiding in the bathroom until everyone else pays the check.
DEADBEATS.
Here is the problem with your "general" argument about running to the government when things get tough:
Man looses $102,000 income.
Man has 2 kids in college & 3 at home.
Man bought house well within his means before the bubble, which he could afford up until the day he lost his job.
Man keeps getting passed over for job interviews because he is "way overqualified for this job"
Man finally gets 2 part time jobs paying minimum wage working a total of 12-14 hours per day.
After 3 months of working and 6 months of living off of savings Man lands a job, still below skill level, that pays 60% of last years income and man is able to pay ALL of his bills with it.
Where was running to the government teat for help in that paragraph. This is an example of CONSERVATIVE responsibility, not republican or any other "can" or "cat" or "al". It isn't a matter of compassion, I already know that I have none for people that bring it on themselves. I challenge anyone to prove that I don't have it for the innocent.
A hard reality for liberal minded thinkers is that you can't help somebody out of a hole by crawling into it with them, especially if they don't want to help themselves get out or are actually fighting to keep themselves in it.
Anyone who thinks that there are not thousands of options beyond sitting on an inner city street corner waiting for a gov't handout is fooling themselves. Options are there, it just takes a the tiniest bit of personal responsibility to take advantage of them.
Lastly, when it comes to compassion, refute the statement that that true conservatives give more of their own money to charities than do liberals. On the other hand liberals are much more adept at giving away other peoples money.
You dumbass liberal fucking moron.
In my 47 years of life I have NEVER taken a fucking dime from the government or anyone that I did not EARN on my own.
I started working a paper route when I was in the 5th grade and have rareley been unemployed except for short periods of time - and then I didn't even take the damned unemployment checks that I PAID for with deductions from my check.
You don't no shit about me or anyone else and you can go fuck yourself you ignorant scumbag commie.
Come up with some original and poignant argument that might defend your Democrat Socialist Party talking points and maybe you could get in on a conversation.
Note: I did not say "Intelligent Conversation" as that would require you to somehow obtain some intelligence.
I have nothing but disgust for ignorant commie pricks such as you. And the only thing I'd kiss your fag ass with is my AR15 "assault" rifle.
Hey guys, save of piece of "it" for me!
I feel for you.
Having said that, there's no way you're going to convince me that you didn't get unemployment at least for a while. And, you are one person. There's plenty more of your ideological persuasion who take every penny they can from the social safety net. you would have too if things got tighter.
I've never taken anything from government either. But the fact that my parents had Medicare meant that I didn't have to help them pay ruinous medical bills since the private market would not have insured them without $4000 monthly premiums. You'll get offered the same deal and you'll take it. You all do.
Your comment about sitting on an inner city corner waiting for handouts is telling. You, like so many like you, believe 90% of the tax you pay goes to lazy minorities. I assume you are white.
You had plenty of advantages being an educated white male. You have the cumulative advantage that minorities didn't have for decades. It's like your people were able to run the footrace with both legs while other groups had their legs tied together. I can provide you specifics but those born into racial or class privilege think they have more gumption.
As for charity, the Chronicle of Phialnthropy reviewed the claims about who gives what. Religious conservatives and liberals give similarly. Non-religious conservatives give the least.
Giving to one's church or congregation is not charity, it's self-serving.
it's patently absurd for conservatives to claim to be so generous when they live their entire lives trying to avoid contributing to the greater good. Hell, they don't even want to pay for the services and resources they USE!
HJR, the only people who have not benefited from the collectivbe society are the ones who lie about taking.
You couldn't have lived in this country at any point in the last 70years and not benefited from government spending. It's impossible. Just because the government doesn't send you a check every month like our blog host doesn't mean you don't get A LOT from the collective society.
But see, you can claim otherwise because you're SPOILED. Like a teen who thinks they can live without Mom & Dad, you don't know any other societal paradigm.
You're also a disgusting piece of trash because you want to live in a first rate country with all the trimmings and not pay for it.
PS. Unemployment does NOT come from your previous paychecks. Like insurance, it is pooled money from employers and is given out to those in need. Not everyone who contributes gets back. That's how insurance works.
Now, maybe you can claim to be one of those "generous" conservatives. What you are is a selfish, greedy a-hole.
My favorite is when one of you has a tragedy- sick kid, lost job, sick parents, disability, natural disaster- then you run to get every last government penny you can. And you think you're justified because you're worthy either because you've "worked hard" or you rationalize that you somehow paid for it.
Bottom line: you're simply bad citizens and bad humans. In days gone by, people like you who resented contributing to the greater good were sent into the woods to be eaten by predators.

"Hell, they don't even want to pay for the services and resources they USE!"
That is an interesting statement no truth in it but interesting that there are ignoramuses who think this. What service would you inquiring? Wellfare? Nope I have always worked and payed my own way. Unemployment? Nope it was easier to get a job. Section 8? Nope always made sure I had a roof over my head. Fire and Rescue services. Nope I was a volunteer for 12 years. Oh wait! Military service. Nope finishing up my 20th year right now. In fact I have NEVER shirked a resposibility in my life. I pay my child support and all of their medical. I make sure my healh insurance is paid and if it isn't all covered, I FREAKIN PAY IT!!!!!! My family have food, transportation, education and a roof over their head. And all of this was done without a handout, a gift or anybodies goddamn help. I don't believe in organized religion and I don't give money to bums on the street. In fact if you leave me alone I will leave you alone. The only time I get riled up is when asshole like you think they are worldly and think they know who I am, when in truth they are bitter biggots, who play internet toughguy.
"You had plenty of advantages being an educated white male. You have the cumulative advantage that minorities didn't have for decades."
Once again a blanket statement by someone who doesn't know. I am glad you think "Whites" have it so good. In this day of PC it isn't cool to be white, or even black for that matter. Now if you are hispanic you are given everything without even proof of humanity. I know this because my wifes (who is hispanic) daughter who would rather be with a wife beating homo was give hundreds, if not thousands in Gub'ment handouts, because she has a hispanic surname. Where as someone with a white surname is turned away and told they do not qualify.
" I can provide you specifics but those born into racial or class privilege think they have more gumption."
You act like everyone with a pale skin and a couple of buck in their pocket are somehow priveledged. Let's see your Dear Leader Chairman Maobama, made 5 million dollars last year from his book, yet critisizes other when they "make enough". While the whole time gives just a pittence to charity. Your Idols The Revernd Al Sharptongue and Jessie Jackass make millions hate mongering and race baiting, while knocking up their mistresses and not paying their taxes. These are card caryying liberals mind you. Should I go to Tim "Tax Cheat" Geitner who was born into priveledge, but thought it was too much of a burden to pay his resposibilities.
Government, and you for the fact do not have the right to tell me to give my money away, try and make me feel guilty or hang over my shoulder as some pseudo conscience.
You can spout your drivel and partisan retoric. It still doesn't conceal the fact that you are a communist,and the REAL raceist.
Tell me how to prove it, and I will show you that I have never in my entire life drawn one penny of unemployment, welfare, or other government subsidy. When I have been unemployed I have lived off of what I put aside when I was employed. How did I put money aside you ask? By living off of Ramen and ketchup when I was younger, and never buying, with the exception of a house and car, anything that I couldn’t pay for in less than 6 months, followed by always paying myself, even if it was only 5 or 10 dollars out of a paycheck. A lot of today’s “necessities,” like 80 inch plasmas, never entered my mind.
I will agree that there are some government programs that are worthwhile, such as medicare. And I am grateful that they exist, although due to my previous profession, I will never be covered by them, but will continue to contribute whether I want to or not. You did hit one point on the head….the private market….that is the jist of the whole argument. Does it show a lack of compassion, maybe, but a mantra touted by non-conservatives is “survival of the fittest.” You can’t kick God and personal responsibility to the curb, until you need it and expect it to work out. Maybe if there was just one example in history of a society making all things available to all people at no cost we could see the fallicy of our greedy conservative ways. There are, however, ample examples of societies which tried and failed, usually quite bloodily.
As far as 90% of my taxes going to welfare? No, I don’t believe that, I think 90% of my taxes wind up in the toilet and thrown away uselessly at least with welfare 3% actually makes it into the bellies of the people who truly need it. No, I am not “white” , except under my shirt and pants and even then it is more of a cream color. By the way, if referring to others as black, yellow, green, or purple is racists, don’t you think calling someone white is racist? Or at least disrespectful of albinos?....where I have issues is when a Caucasian woman goes into a WIC office after being unemployable due to being injured by a drunk “minority” along with her husband having been laid off, and the “minority” case worker turns her down for milk for her 18 month old daughter. This couple were advised to use their credit card (which most people would call stealing, since they knew that they couldn’t pay the credit card bill) They were further advised that because she had 2 associates degrees, earned over the space of 10 years, there was probably a job out there somewhere, so she should just keep looking. AS they left the office, a minority family walked in, who didn’t speak English, and were pretty much provided for no questions asked other than “how much do you need”. No this was not my family. Lastly on this topic, I am disgusted by some of my own extended family members who I include when I talk about sitting on street corners.
As far as being an educated white male….The advantage I had was that it only took me 18 years to get a 4 year degree. I’ve known many “disadvantaged” minorities who did it in much less time. Granted it only took 30 months to complete an MBA after that, but by then my work situation had changed and allowed it. Show me again any person that can’t accomplish that if they put their mind to it. Reader’s digest is filled with stories of “minorities” who accomplished much more, in much less time. I stand by my statement, if somebody wants to lift themselves out of a hole, they can, but only if they really want to. If we were talking about fixing something given away 40 years ago I could see your “poor minorities” argument, but we are talking about today and the opportunities available today, not 40 years ago.
Regarding charity….how is giving to ones faith self serving? I’ve always wondered at that claim. I guess if your church is incorporated and has stock options that makes sense. But I personally consider charity as giving to something with no expectation of return whether it be a church or any other program that works to help people in some way. Giving to the fed is not charity, it is extortion.
Your last statement was the most telling….you seem to believe that conservatives don’t believe in donating to the greater good. Define the greater good? Is it ensuring that everyone has the same level of consumer goods? The same level of education? The same opportunities for everything? Or that everyone has the same opportunity to leisure? It seems to me that if those who are producing the most took half as much leisure time, those that consume more than they produce would soon be out of everything. -----or -----is the greater good providing opportunities for work? Opportunities for pride in personal accomplishment? How about providing that everyone has the same opportunities if they lift their little finger and go after them….guess what, they are already there. The only time they are not is when a person makes a personal decision to through them away, or a peer pulls them back down.
There is no getting around it, there are takers and there are givers. The givers can never give enough to the takers, and the takers will never be satisfied with what they get, regardless of how little they do for it.
Bottom line….yes I am only one, and me living within my means whether employed or not won’t put a dent in the pot of money that the government redistributes. But I am one, and up until the day that I am strung from a lamp post for not being on the government dole I will know that I did not contribute to the down fall of our civilization, but did my best to contribute and try to buttress it.
Let’s not forget one part of this, nobody here is complaining about the government spending “for the greater good.” The complaint is about the government spending “for no good” reason other than to get reelected and to feel good about slurping caviar in their elite circles. One of the purposes for which our government was founded was to provide for the greater good, and every person in this country reaps those benefits. It is when the government forks over money that only provides for an individual’s good, and no other that there is a problem.
