Obama’s housing entitlement campaign & ACORN’s civil disobedience mob
MM ^ | 2/18/09 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 02/18/2009 6:12:28 AM PST by FromLori

My syndicated column today looks at the massive mortgage entitlement campaign launched by President Obama today — and the concurrent, anti-foreclosure bullying campaign launched by ACORN. I’ve been warning about this for weeks (see here, here, here, and here) — and in particular, I’ve been blasting the Republicans for playing right into the left-wing agenda. The Beltway GOP is just as guilty as the Democrats for perpetuating the idea that your mortgage is my problem and that it government’s job to stem falling housing values.

This is the ethos that helped create Peggy the Moocher, Henrietta Hughes, and the Colorado third-grader who explained his support for Obama this way (hat tip - Jessica Peck Corry):

“I always listen to the speech of Obama in the commercial that he will help pay the rent of (our) house.”

A people trained to be helpless and dependent on the government are halfway to being well conditioned as slaves.

It always comes down to violence, that has been the Left’s ace up the sleeve for 60 years.

It was not the entire “Beltway GOP” it was only THREE RINOS that allowed crap to pass: SNOWE, COLLINS and SPECTOR!

Well, yeah. They are slaves of the state. But the real hard part is getting them to transfer thier obedience and submission to a personal (non-state) master. Some of them might object to that and say they will never be the servant of anyone, but these folks are merely denying their current state of existence.

Paging Michael Steele. Three targets - all RINOs. Engage in primaries, fire for effect.

Why don't they just walk around town w/ a "I can't pay my bills" sign around their necks?

How pathetic.

ACORN is encouraging people not to leave their foreclosed homes?!!

Michelle is sounding this alarm.

CNN aired their typical sob story a couple of days ago: Mexican American family in CO forced to leave their home due to foreclosure, upside-down on a really ugly but large home valued at $600,000 when they bought it. Her job...school bus driver, no mention of husband or his job.
Now taxpayers are to cough up the payments to the banks in lowered interest on such a ridiculous loans. When will we wake up?

I sweated bullets for 30 years to pay off my mortgage and had no one to bail me out. That’s racist.

ACORN’s foot soldiers, funded with your tax dollars, will scream, pound their fists, chain themselves to buildings, padlock the doors, and engage in illegal behavior until they get what they want. It’s a recipe for anarchy. Threatens Baltimore ACORN’s Louis Beverly, who calls himself a “Foreclosure Fighter:”

“After you’ve used all your legal options, your last resort is civil disobedience. We’re talking about families who have been in their homes 20 or 30 years. People who are assets in the community, who look out for the elderly, who have community associations, and these are the people being kicked out of the community.”

Civil disobedience? Go for it ACORN. Just go ahead and do it. They have no clue how many people have had it up to here with their BS and what’s happening in this country. They better mind their P’s and Q’s, they are liable to get back what they ask for and then some.
