What’s up with everyone? Is there something in the air that’s causing everyone to loose control? First we have heath care forums bursting into loud angry verbal matches, we have Representative Wilson of S.C. yelling “you lie” at the president in a joint session of congress, we have Serena Williams going all crazy over a call during her tennis match, and now we have Kanya West at the VMA awards stealing the spot light from Taylor Swift … tell ya, everyone’s out of control. What’s up with this? Did everyone forget to take their Prozac … hm!
This past weekend churches around the country, specially in Portland, Main, took up an extra collection to repeal the state’s same-sex marriage law. Church “Officials said donations like the ones collected at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception will go to pay for television ads aimed at overturning the state law that legislators passed last spring.” Hm!
Though I’m not for same-sex marriage I have a problem with “the church” getting involved with state affairs and it’s my impression that if a church pushes a political position that they can no longer claim tax exemptions? Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this have something to do with the Separation of church and state?
I worry when religion begins to dictate social morals … isn’t this why the pilgrims left England? Course when they got here they did the same thing … the church dictated social behavior. Nonetheless, I have a problem when religious corporations begin setting standards of conduct when it’s own back door is cluttered with social misbehaviors and won’t clean them up such as clergy molesting boys, etc. I’m just saying.
President Obama’s “off the record” comment about Kanya West … “he’s a jackass!”, certainly stirred up controversy. Why ... God only knows! The President is only human and he only stated what the rest of us were thinking. So those of you who criticize, get a life! Cut the President some slack!!!! As for Kanya’s apology on Jay Leno’s show … insincere! All he cares about is his wallet.
I’ve not paid much attention to ACRON, but I do recall on several occasions hearing bits and pieces about them. What really caught my attention relating to this organization is its recent headlines in how employees were caught on tape giving advice on how to set up a prostitution service using underage women from El Salvador. So, to learn more about the organization I decided to view their website.
In principle, ACORN is basically a good organization and receives grants from the federal government. But with the release of recent videos the organization’s grants have been halted and they will “potentially” undergo a federal investigation. What?
Here’s an organization who received grants from the federal government and they get caught with their pants down … giving advice on how to set up a prostitution service? Plus, the organization has come under scrutiny for other rather shady activities. Therefore, the mounting evidence is overwhelmingly against ACORN.
In doing my own reading on the organization, what seems to be of good intensions, is really not. Yes, I’m sure they have helped many underprivileged individuals and families, but from my perspective the organization is basically out to undermine legitimate citizens by providing assistance to mainly illegal’s fluffed with assistance to minorities and low income people so as not to appear as if they are catering to a targeted group. In other words, ACRON is a sheep in wolves clothing and certainly needs to be fully investigated. This organization’s agenda is not a healthy one.
On last evenings news (09/16/09) the CEO, Bertha Lewis, made claim that the recent “I gotcha tapes” were politically motivated and referenced it as racism. Excuse me? Politically motivated and racist? Here’s an organization who promotes prostitution using underage women from El Salvador as political racism? In other words, enslaving women here in the U.S. for profit is okay? Give me a freaking brake!
Yeah, ACORN is clearly in the wrong and should come under scrutiny from top to bottom, but mainly at the top cause somewhere along the line of command there’s something fishy going on in the organization. I’m just saying.

President Obama said illegal immigrants won't be covered under his health care plan -- so the president wants to grant millions of illegal immigrants amnesty. The move is seen by many as a backdoor attempt to bring health care to those currently in the country illegally. –Lou Dobbs Show 09/18/09
