A footnote to my post:
It chould also be considered an act of terrorism to protest at a private residence. If you have children, tell me how terrified they would feel with 100 moral reprobates/leeches/parisites camping out in front of the house blocking passage in and out?
Is there any logical reason why these people deserve to retain their American Citizenship? Seriously. Revoke and deport.
>just the Brown Shirts. First they’re coming for the “millionaire” bankers homes. What will the state do?
Nothing. Because union police departments aren’t going to bust union thugs. <
don’t bet on it
I saw him down there two weeks ago. I’ll go down tomorrow to take pics.
I thought they disbanded ACORN and decreed that they would receive no more money. I’m schocked, just shocked, I tell you, that they have re-formed under a different name and are now receiving Federal (and probably church) funds again! Isn’t that odd how these are the same people who scream “separation of church and state” whenever the church tries to exert anything resembling moral instruction, but they are very happy to be on the receiving end of church funding?
The Union thugs been doing that to Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin all year. Now they are threatening to recall him starting Nov. 15. All because Scot Walker balanced the budget and rivsed the terms under which the teachers' unions could negotiate their subsequent contracts. Wisconsin is now operating in the black after the former Dem Governor left us in serious defecit. If you care to support a good man, send a donation to Scott Walker in Madison, WI. He's going to need it because this threatened recall is going to cost millions $$$.

Obama Seeks to Win Back Wall St. Cash
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
Published: June 12, 2011
WASHINGTON — A few weeks before announcing his re-election campaign, President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room.
The guests were asked for their thoughts on how to speed the economic recovery, then the president opened the floor for over an hour on hot issues like hedge fund regulation and the deficit.
Mr. Obama, who enraged many financial industry executives a year and a half ago by labeling them “fat cats” and criticizing their bonuses, followed up the meeting with phone calls to those who could not attend.
The event, organized by the Democratic National Committee, ...
(snip)
To offset those defections, Mr. Obama’s campaign has deployed a corps of loyal Wall Street supporters who have fanned out to defend the president’s record and stoke fatigued donors. They include Robert Wolf, the chief executive of UBS Group Americas; the hedge fund managers Orin S. Kramer and Eric Mindich; and Mark T. Gallogly, a co-founder of Centerbridge Partners.
Mr. Mindich and Mr. Wolf were among those at the White House meeting, along with some prominent names from the hedge fund world: James G. Dinan of York Capital Management, Glenn Dubin of Highbridge Capital Management and Paul Tudor Jones.
Members of the president’s economic team and his chief of staff, William M. Daley, a former banking executive, have been more active in reaching out to Wall Street executives about policy issues, donors said, along with Mr. Messina and Patrick Gaspard , the D.N.C.’s executive director.
The campaign and its allies are also seeking to recruit a new group of high-level bundlers, supporters who recruit other donors. They include Antonio Weiss, the global head of investment banking at Lazard; Charles Myers, a senior managing director at Evercore Partners; and James E. Staley, the head of JPMorgan Chase’s investment bank.
The campaign is also courting prominent Wall Street figures who could serve as Mr. Obama’s ambassadors at firms known for leaning Republican: Lenard B. Tessler, a managing director at Cerberus Capital who donated to Mr. Romney and Mrs. Clinton in 2008, and Hamilton E. James, the president of the private equity behemoth Blackstone.
Inside The ACORN Rolodex: ACORN Has Its Own Political Party Other Than the Democrats
For many years it has been speculated that SEIU and ACORN share a common foundation. This seems to suggest as much. In fact, in at least one appearance on the contacts list, an SEIU official has an ACORN email address. But were this picture a tree, the trunk would be the Working Families Party. Roger Stone has suggested the Working Families Party is ACORN. Bertha Lewis’s contacts list suggests as much.
Lewis is both the head of ACORN and also the Co-Chair of the Working Families Party. As you can imagine, ACORN would have us believe that those are separate roles. However, information suggests otherwise and we also know that ACORN has a habit of creating political parties for its own ends.
...
To drive the relationship home for you, ACORN and Project Vote shared office space with Working Families Party and the New Party in NYC, Arkansas, and Illinois!
...
This is what communists do.
“shocker”, LOL.
Is anyone really surprised about this? Anyone with sense knows real protesters would be in DC if they wanted to fix the problem.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE LAME STREAM PRESS ABOUT THIS???
