There is no question that ACORN needs to be investigated. However, what needs to be presented to the American People is the connection between Obama and the redical left-wing group ACORN. Obama taught them on how to organize, was aware of the intimidation it used to get banks to lend to poor families, and represented them in the Court system. This is the same organization that was guilty of voter fraud. I am not sure about most of you, but I don't want a President that has been associated with this type of organization. However, the mainstream media will not bring this to the attention of the American People. It is amazing to me that the media is no longer interested in the truth but only in who wins the "White House". There can be no argument that NBC (Nothing But Communism) is a far left media outlet. It is also clear that ABC (Always Broadcasting Communism), CNN (Communist News Network) and CBS (Communism Broadcasting Station) are following suit. Just look at the condesending way "Charlie" Gibson interviewed Sarah Palin (looking over his glasses - a classic sign of disrespect). If he would have done that same interview, in his same condesending manner, with Obama or Biden, he would have been fired and crucified in the media. It astounds me that liberals will not admit this. It is clear and the evidence overwhelming but yet liberals refuse to acknowledge it. I assume that by not admitting it, they believe that it is not ture. Reasonable people, which is most of America, I believe, see through this and know these mainstream media outlets have a vested interest in getting Obama elected President. This is the reason that ACORN, and Obama's connection to that organization, will not ever be brought to light by these outlets. It is sad really. This election has certianly shown that fair reporting, emotionless reporting, and ethical journalism has died in this country.
Now, the term "fascism" is defined as a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Does this sound like Obama? It should by the words he uses as well as his proposals for this country. He will use very soft sounding words but the meaning is the same. Universal health care is an extreme form of social regimentation. The use of prosecutors, or the so-called Truth Police, is the suppression of opposing view points. This is so anti-American that it is scary. The freedom of speech is one of the basic freedoms guaranteed to us in the First Amendment to the Constitution. If the republicans tried to suppress political speech of a liberal, the liberals would be screaming about violations of the rights of its followers. But when the liberals do the same thing, it is accepted as trying to stop lies from being told.....like that is a reason given the filth and lies perpetrated by the liberals. Political speech is one area where even the U.S. Supreme Court has been reluctant to limit. But the liberals do it without fear. This is forcible suppression of the opposition. For Obama, the state is everything. The people should exists for the state and not that the state should exist for the people. Obama wants to control health care, taxes, entitlements, and how much the "rich" can keep of their own money. At the same time, he wants to give to the "poor" from the spoils that he takes from the "rich". He is modern day Robin Hood (that is not a good thing really). Obama wants a facist society in many respects but a socialist society in others.
The main difference between facism and socialism is that in socialism the government will often times control the means of production and the distribution of goods. Under facism, the state will allow businesses to control the means of production and the distribution of goods but under severe strict governmental control. However, Obama does want to control the means of distribution of one thing in the country - wealth. He wants to control how much money the government gets in revenues and how much he will give to the poor for entitlements. This is anti-American and shows that Obama is not for a capitalistic America.
Obama does not have a very good record of backing the foundations on which this country was founded. High taxes is not what was intended. People should be able to keep their wealth and pass it along to their children. There is nothing wrong with that as long as the ability of those that do not have is there to work and get part of that wealth. My grandparents came to this country in the early 1900s. They did not have anything and did not speak English. However, they learned how to speak English and they were glad to do that since they came to this country and English is the language. Now, my father did grow up speaking Italian in the home but was told by his parents that he would speak English outside the home. My grandparents in no way expected that the people of American would change to learn Italian. This should still hold true today but sadly it does not. If people believe that Obama will lower taxes has no knowledge of the past democratic presidents that have made that same promise; and yes, even some republican presidents.
Obama, being aware of the intimidation tactics used by ACORN, is guilty of sanctioning such tactics by not coming out agaisnt them at the time. He was aware that ACRON was putting tremendous pressue on banks to loan to low income families. This is not just wrong - it is dangerous. Obama should have exposed those performing these acts and condeming those actions. Instead, he continued to support ACORN and its operations. Shameful! His dealings with ACORN should be brought up in the debates and he should have to explain why he did not come out and condemn such actions or at least disassociate himself from the organization knowing of these, more than likely, illegal acts.
Now, banks have certain standards or conditions that it looks for in a potential debtor but they had tremendous pressue placed upon them to disregard those conditions or standards and give loans to those that could not afford it or would normally be denied a loan. It is not a constitutional right that all Americans own a home. Banks have these standards to prevent the exact crisis in which we find ourselves. Obama should come out and admit his part in the situation that we find ourselves. However, he has never been his own man. He was always done the bidding of those that could propell him to higher office and power.
It is important to know the definitions of the various policital philosophies of the world. Socialism, facism, communism and captialism are the most prevelent. Once you know these definitions, listen to Obama carefully and make an informed decision as to where he falls in the political spectrum. If liberals can do this without emotion and bias, which I seriously doubt can be done, they will see that he does not like capitalism but is straddling the fence between socialism and facism. I am sure the founding fathers are rolling over in their graves since it appears that an anti-American person will be elected President.
