Obamacorn Back in Action
From Michelle Malkin’s recent column:
We can all sympathize with good folks who can’t pay their bills. But as I’ve said repeatedly in my criticism of the mortgage entitlement mentality embraced by both parties in Washington, home ownership is not a civil right — and neither is home retention. Artificially propping up the housing market will only result in more of the same costly borrow-spend-panic-repeat cycles that got us into this mess in the first place. Failing corporations need to fail. So do failing home borrowers. This is borrowing from frugal renter Peter to pay profligate Paul’s home loan.
Now, that’s the kind of theft that should be the subject of civil disobedience.
Instead, ACORN offices, funded with your tax dollars, are training teams of these “Home Savers” — described as “people ready and willing to mobilize on short notice to defend the homesteaders against attempts to evict them.” Ready, willing, and able to mobilize on short notice because they are either unemployed or employed full-time as ACORN shakedown artists.
Guess who’s encouraging them to defy the law? Democrat Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, who told them: “Stay in your homes. If the American people, anybody out there is being foreclosed, don’t leave.” The housing bullies will be assisted by left-wing propaganda documentarians at the Brave New Foundation, headed up by Hollywood lib Robert Greenwald, who will disseminate sob stories to crank up pressure while President Obama pushes his housing entitlement plan.
ACORN is targeting the following cities: Tuscon, Ariz.; Oakland, Calif.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Contra Costa County, Calif.; Orlando, Fla.; Baltimore, Md.; New York, N.Y.; Houston, Texas; San Mateo County, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Wilmington, Del.; Broward County, Fla.; Boston, Mass.; Flint, Mich.; Detroit, Mich.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Raleigh, N.C.; Durham, N.C.; Albany, N.Y.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Dallas, Texas.
ACORN racketeers have waited three decades for this moment in the sun. And as President Obama promised ACORN members at a forum in December 2007, “We’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda, we’re gonna be having meetings all across the country…so that you have input into the agenda.”
The moment is nigh. Prepare for lawlessness.
