ACORN insider lays out the 'stealth socialism' strategy
American Thinker ^ | May 30, 2010 | Thomas Lifson

Anita Moncrief has written a worthwhile personal account of her involvement with ACORN, and effectively lays out the entire strategy the Alinksy left, and its chosen instrument, Barack Obama, to "fundamentally change" America. Moncrief describes the moment in 2008, when she went from unwitting to witting, in terms of the strategy to make America into a people's socialist republic. 

As an ACORN insider my indoctrination as a socialist was a slow but steady progression from radical liberalism to embracing the stealth socialist methods that had made ACORN a powerful force in American electoral politics. Two years ago, in the mist of a heated presidential election year, I noticed a Facebook page of Socialism 2008. The graffiti-like picture beckoned young Socialists to Chicago, Illinois on June 19th, 2008. I RSVPed for the event on Facebook without fully understanding what had just taken place. The line between radical, liberal Democrat and socialist was almost invisible at this point.

Working for ACORN/Project Vote facilitated my crossing the "socialist"threshold and I had become what insiders termed "one of the true believers." True believers were instrumental in the survival of ACORN and the process of making an employee a true believer began on the very first day.

The entire essay, appearing at Hot Air is worth reading. She names names and doesn‘t mince words. Here is one tidbit:

From October 2005 until 2008, I did fundraising work with ACORN and used political donor lists. All Democrat: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Democratic National Committee. When I appeared as a guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" last year, I said that ACORN had served for years as an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party, but Bill O'Reilly didn't discuss that with me. Ignoring it is exactly what the stealth socialists want.

Moncrief discusses the troubles facing the stealth socialist coalition now:

... it seems impossible that the coalition that put Obama in the White House and gave Democrats huge majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives will continue to work smoothly together now that Obama and the Congressional Democrats are in control and America is learning what Obama really meant by the seductive-sounding "hope and change." ACORN needed the cloak of stealth socialism to maintain its hold on the poor. ACORN's image is synonymous with blacks and other minorities and the race card has become the last bastion of its "hope."

Moncreif then skewers the real "executive suites" leadership of ACORN, with a picture of all white faces taken at an executive "retreat" for ACORN.

A good read.

The biggest problem modern socialists have is that the things they want cost so much. Only the world's strongest economy could come close to supporting that many deadbeats.

“Only the world’s strongest economy could come close to supporting that many deadbeats.”

Therein lies the essence of socialism/communism. The socialism ‘movement’ is a coalition of deadbeats, the envious, and those with a personal hatred for mainstream society, lead by narcissists who need a cause to show the world how important they are (e.g. Hillary Clinton and a host of others).

That is so true - in fact I think the jealous deadbeats always assume that if someone is successful, with a nice job and material possessions, they have gained it via some unfair advantage rather than through education and hard work, therefore the deadbeats see no ethical problem in trashing it, seizing it, or redistributing it to people who have never held an honest job and never will. Sickening.

True. In addition, they especially resent those who were like them, but became more through their own efforts. They don’t mind the Hollywood crowd, or sports stars, or other celebrities, because those people generally represent a small number of people with specific talents, physical attributes, and/or serendipitous breaks that are not attainable by just hard work.

They primarily resent those who represent what they could have been, or achieved, if they had made the effort. It’s really sick.

The more I learn about the race baiting it looks like the days when the Africans were sold into slavery by their own people.
Men use the pulpit to trap people using false teaching of the Holy Word. misinterpretation is being preached by black and white preachers on purpose.
My heart hurts for those that hear their word and don't check out “The Word” and get the Truth. The social slavery they sell will put all of us in the real poor house.
God says: Hosea 4:6 (Whole Chapter)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. AMEN

I’m sure the MSM and Congress are all investigating the ACORN corruption including the voter fraud in 2008.

Ask your Elitist politician what their findings are so far.

No, surprise there. That phony BOR is so afraid of Obama and his handlers.

Yep, BOR did everything he possibly could to interview Zer0 and threw him softballs. Since then he’s done the same under the guise of fair and balanced.
