The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a petition for review from ACORN, ruling in effect that Congress was absolutely entitled to cut off federal taxpayer funding of ACORN, the depraved radicals who used to employ President Obama, according to reports.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now had asked the high court to review a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit which found that the funding cutoff was not a “bill of attainder” banned by the Constitution. ACORN had advanced the nonsensical argument that Congress had no power to stop funding the group unless it could prove it had done something wrong.

ACORN became well known nationwide in 2009 for its advocacy of brothels for pedophiles. Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe caught the group on undercover video offering advice on importing underage illegal alien sex slaves from El Salvador, tax fraud, and tax evasion.

As I write in my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, at least 54 individuals associated with ACORN has been convicted of voter fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of felony voter registration fraud in Nevada in April.

Not surprisingly, a chorus of useful idiots has arisen to defend ACORN, including but not limited to Eric Alterman and Katrina vanden Heuvel of the Nation, Joe Conason of Salon, Adam Serwer of the American Prospect, and terrorist-linked blogger Brad Friedman.

I wrote Subversion Inc. because America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama worked for ACORN as a trainer and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, Machiavellian pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

Why so little coverage during the 2008 campaign, that Barry not only had ties but actually worked for ACORN?

Likewise, his friendship with Ayers, Rashidi, Farakhan, etc.

Shame on the news media.

Wouldnt have seen it on the main stream media. But it all and more was documented on many consservarive sites. There have been exhaustive investigations and revealing interviews. Search.

Lets face it, voter fraud is an act of sedition and needs to be treated as such. ACORN succeeded in getting BOTH Obama and Mc Cain nominated in 2008, so that Obama could walk over Mc Cain. The only kink in their plan was Mc Cain's selection of Sarah Palin. So the Obama allies, journolist, proceeded to attack and discredit her. When that wasn't working the stock market conveniently collapsed.

Can't wait to hear the leftist trolls' defense of ACORN. Vadum is actually being way too kind in his characterization of them as "pedophiles." What they are is would-be totalitarian slave-masters. Dehumanizing women and especially children makes it a lot easier to kill them en masse (as Bill Ayers and his buddies advocated, repeatedly, and in writing). The modern American left's platform, in a nutshell: ration everything, and when the population is enslaved by scarcity, ration the population. As long as they are the rationers, from their perspective, utopia is within reach.
So it's a zero sum game, as Wayne seems to recognize: eliminate them, or they will surely keep trying to eliminate us.

Now lets move on (pun) to the other community organizations that get taxpayer money. There is no justification for any of it. From La Raza to the Urban League, from SEIU to Planned Parenthood all the agencies simply promulgate their agenda with the hard eaqrned dollars of taxpayers. Should not citizens have a choice in where their "donations" are spent? If the groups were viable actual donations would flood in from those who support the cause. If it cannot stand on its own merits, why should the taxpayers be on the hook?

Frank| 6.20.11 @ 11:42PM

I have argued with liberal relatives about Planned Parenthood. They think PP should continue to get federal dollars (as they call them). I correct them by telling them, they aren't "federal dollars" they are dollars from you and me.

The bigger point is, if groups like Planned Parenthood are so important to the libs, then why don't the libs simply fund them? Donate to them, let them build up a big endowment to pay for all the things that they want taxpayers to pay for? What's wrong with that?

I have never gotten an answer on that from any lib I have proposed it to.

Now the ACLU is starting to hold conferences defending sharia lending. It seems that pedophilia and the ACLU are intertwined...

Mike| 6.20.11 @ 10:22PM

Pedophilia. I've heard that word in relationship to what other major institution?
