It’s the Fourth of July once again, the day left-wing community organizers across America celebrate Dependence Day.
What’s that? July 4 is called Independence Day, you say?
Not to the radical mob-o-crats of ACORN, La Raza, SEIU, and the legions of other socialist groups that are swinging a wrecking ball at the foundations of this great republic. America is under siege as extremists determined to pulverize the U.S. Constitution deliberately bankrupt the nation, destroy the electoral system, and drive the economy into the ground. (And to boot, just in time for Dependence Day the Obama administration gave $79,000 of your money to his old friends at ACORN.)
ACORN and other radical groups are delighted that the welfare rolls are exploding everywhere. An appalling 1 in 7 Americans now receives food stamps and there are 70 bloated federal welfare programs. It’s the legacy of the failed $16 trillion War on Poverty - and President Obama, who erased the welfare reforms of the 1990s, wants to spend $10 trillion more!
ACORN and community organizers are so thrilled with social decay that they celebrate dependency and leftist thuggery by hijacking songs that Americans hold dear.
As I write in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, ACORN uses songs and chants to reinforce identity and boost morale. ACORN songs typically contain three recurring themes: ACORN’s growing power, the solidarity of “the people,” and a definition of the group’s enemies.
There is “ACORN Marches On,” which is sung to the tune of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”:
Mine eyes have seen the glory when the people stand as one.
We have scattered all the bureaucrats and put them on the run.
But even with our list of wins our work has just begun.
The ACORN marches on.
There’s Republicans, there’s Democrats, I don’t know which is worse,
Cuz the elephants they kill my job; the donkeys kill my purse.
Well, it’s time to take those fossil groups and pack them in a hearse.
As ACORN marches on.
And there is the “ACORN Marching Song,” which is sung to the tune of the “Caisson Song” (“over hill, over dale …”):
In our cities, in our states,
We’re the ones that pay the freight,
But the rich folks go rolling along.
Keep us divided, whites from blacks,
Moderate and poor on different tracks.
And the rich folks go rolling along.
Well, actually, ACORN members, drawn largely from the ranks of the privileged many Americans who pay no income taxes, don’t “pay the freight,” but that’s a discussion for another day.
* * * * *
America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

I know that Matthew's article is meant to be funny, but to many of us it is the sad truth. Governmental welfare is what is destroying this country and bonding into slavery its recipients. This governmental candy/pacifier needs to be destroyed if we are to survive as a country, and we can begin the process of doing so by voting for the complete Republican ticket in November of next year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Paca| 7.4.11 @ 1:21PM
I think it's "meant to sell books" more than "meant to be funny."
I assume this book was started when Acorn was making headlines, but unfortunately it's hitting the shelves after Acorn imploded and went bankrupt. Kind of like Corsi's book "proving" that Obama was born in Kenya, which hit the shelves a couple of weeks after the long form birth certificate was released. Sympathies to both.
BTW voting a straight Republican ticket is part of the problem. You just keep the Rinos in power. If Romney is the nominee the game is over. And they will run someone like Romney because they know there are people like you who will vote for the Republican no matter who they run.
Palin is the only one who would try to roll back government welfare and the only one with enough spine to make it happen. She's been tested by fire like none of the other candidates. She may be our last hope.
Jeremiah| 7.4.11 @ 1:39PM
Too bad there are so many ignorant Republicans who don't realize voting for RINOs is destroying our country.
Push for the nomination of Tea Party Conservatives!
Oldefarte| 7.4.11 @ 1:58PM
Acorn imploding and bankrupt? WAKE UP! The Obama Administration just disguised a government funding payment into their still alive coffers [stop being brainwashed from reading the NYT]. Romney a problem? As much as I 'HOPE' otherwise that he is not the Republican nominee, if it so happens I'll gladly crawl to the polls to vote for him IN OPPOSITION TO THE CURRENT SOCIALIST-RADICAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZING who is currently flushing our country down the political toilet. It's ignorant imbeciles that voted for him in 2008 [ANYBODY BUT BUSH, right?] and because of this type stupidity that this country is in the dire destructive condition that it now is in. Palin? WAKE UP....she's not even running to date and probably will not do so. Again, your ignorance in only voting for a straw potential but unactual candidate will cause El Chosen One to once again waltz in to 1600 in November of next year [deal with what's actual/factual, not some hypothetical possibility]!!!!!!
Matthew Vadum | 7.4.11 @ 3:49PM
That's a cheap shot from Bill Paca. He didn't even read the blog post. You tell 'em, Ye Oldefarte!
Jeremiah| 7.4.11 @ 4:59PM
I'm a big fan of your work, Matt, and I'm sure you understand that we must nominate the most conservative candidate we can, right?
Brenda| 7.5.11 @ 9:32AM
Well if Palin is our last hope, then I see that we have none. Are you joking?
Jeremiah| 7.6.11 @ 1:47AM
Palin is far better than the toad in the White House and stiff cardboard Mitt.
Margie| 7.4.11 @ 1:22PM
Amen, Oldefarte!
And a happy and blessed Independence Day to you and yours!!
Republican Ticket ALL the Way 2012!
Lullabys, Legends and Lies| 7.4.11 @ 2:03PM
Jeremiah: The "Worst" Rhino, is still a million times better than the "Best" Commie Democrat!! So if a Tea Party Conservative doesn't get the nomination, and Romney does get it (God forbid), I'm going to hold my nose, and vote straight down the line Republican Rhino. I won't like it, no Sir, not a bit, but another 4 years of this disgrace of an Administration, and there won't be anything left in this Country to save anymore anyway. But Romney hasn't won anything yet, except my contempt, so maybe we still have the chance to fulfill your requirements.
Hi Margie & Oldefarte!! I hope you're having a Happy 4th of July!!
Oldefarte| 7.4.11 @ 2:06PM
Happy 4th back at ya, LL&L!!!!!!!
Jeremiah| 7.4.11 @ 5:03PM
Romney is part of the Big Government status quo and his administration will just push our country toward decline a little slower than Obama's. I have no use for either man.
I don't think RINO Romney can beat Obama any more than McCain could.
Margie| 7.5.11 @ 1:16AM
LLL's~
My Mother in law passed from this life to Eternal Life today. She came to America from war torn Europe by way of England and Canada having been set free by the Brits from a Nazi slave labor camp in Germany. She died on a glorious day, and has gone to meet the Lord of Glory.
I'm with you~ what matters in the future elections from now on is that we are able to hound the Democrats out of office, and we can only do that by electing Republicans.
Nobody likes RINO'S, but who can honestly say that allowing a blatant Leftist Socialist to win ever again is the will of God?
I will vote Republican for the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave that my mother in law came to cherish, and never looked back.
God bless America!
Still the BEST country on the face of the Earth!!
Jeremiah| 7.6.11 @ 2:02AM
RINOs lead to Leftists, nitwit. Clarity of thought has never been your strong point, moron.
Oldefarte| 7.4.11 @ 2:03PM
Margie, Happy 4th back at ya! Sadly, there are some obvious fools above supposedly [probably closet liberal Obama supporters] promoting only voting for DeMint/Palin type conservatives; when they 'STUPIDLY' fail to realize that neither one of these conservative Republicans are actually running for the nomination. As Forrest once declared concerning STUPIDITY is a fact of life still!!!!!!!!!
Jeremiah| 7.4.11 @ 4:56PM
Stupidity is a fact of life Oldefart and you're a shining example of it.
Only hopeless fools think there's a dime's worth of difference between Obama and Romney.
Truth to Power| 7.4.11 @ 7:08PM
Jeremiah is such a shallow twit. Oldefarte had him pegged except for the closeted part. He roll plays on the net and it is quite obvious.
Jeremiah| 7.4.11 @ 7:59PM
That's "role" plays, dummy.
I didn't know you were a big RINO Romney fan, Truth. It's obvious you're the shallow twit.
Truth to Power| 7.5.11 @ 10:36AM
When you find yourself constantly humping Romney's leg, you have a problem. It might be that you have blown that last fuse in what was your mind and you can no longer make distinctions or you are just a stupid lefty trying to make mischief. Either way you don't look so bright.
Jeremiah| 7.6.11 @ 1:55AM
You're so stupid it's laughable. Try learning the English language before you insult others, troll.
Oldefarte| 7.5.11 @ 11:13AM
Jeremiah: If you don't know the difference between Romney [or any Republican] and Obama, then you are in dire need of psychiatric assistance, and no doubt it is people like yourself that voted for Obama in 2008 and began the destruction of this country. Go back into your purist, simplistic political prism donning your jackass blinders, since you're incapable of making rational decisions due to a lack of mental reasoning!!!!!!!!
Jeremiah| 7.6.11 @ 1:58AM
You really are braindead. No wonder our country is going down the tubes with meatheads like you and the idiot Truth Troll.
You think our country's destruction started with Obama 2 1/2 years ago? Pathetic. Go change your diapers old man.
danny| 7.4.11 @ 4:02PM
hey margie, bachmann - cain....... cain- bachmann whatcha think?
Margie| 7.5.11 @ 1:06AM
God bless you, danny~ I LOVE IT either way! And if we can't have both of them, we have to have one of them.
But I am in full agreement as well with LLL's and Oldefarte.
ANY Republican is better than ANY Democrat!
Jeremiah| 7.6.11 @ 1:58AM
Another idiot RINO.

This nation must reduce immigration (legal and illegal), for the next 10-20 years, else, it will turn into a 3rd world dumping ground of "personality/celebrity" democracy, instead of a limited government republic as it was originally conceived and in fact, existed for centuries, until recent times.
The USA doesn't exist merely as a place for half the world to find a job in; the country existed before mass immigration and once again, must return to having a smaller, more modest immigration influx.
CalMark| 7.4.11 @ 9:16PM
There are those of us who have been kicking up a fuss about this for the last 10 years or so. We've been laughed at.
Now it's time to man the trenches. And everyone is just standing by. Those of us who know the truth can't seem to get anybody energized.
Perhaps it's just one last self-tribute by the smug, self-absorbed Boomers to themselves. We will probably lose our country to the imbecilic, self-serving rationalizations of the Boomers "Aw, it'll be OK. We got through Carter"--their universal excuse to relax and do nothing--"we'll get through Obama."
Whatever. I don't intend to live in a slave state. I'll become a dissident and spend the rest of my life in prison, if I have to. Irrespective of the most worthless generation ever to breathe, who give away their souls and our country to Washington in exchange for pensions and comfort.
Jeremiah| 7.5.11 @ 1:16AM
I'm so tired of morons like you. When are you going to take responsibility for YOUR part in the rebirth of our country?
It's simplistic and predictable of spoiled brats like you to blame the "Boomers" for everything that afflicts us. What is your generation doing to preserve our way of life--besides whining that is?
The Progressives have been pushing fundamental transformation since the 1920s, and the Boomer generation is no more responsible for our decay than yours.
It's the LEFTISTS in all of the generations who are taking us down, and you are allowing them to divide the good, patriotic Americans in ALL of the generations. We need to stick together not tear each other apart; that's what they want
Grow the hell up!
ron8072| 7.5.11 @ 1:17AM
I am with you there, CalMark. Just reread the Declaration of Independence a few minutes ago and though how close we are to the colonies in our complaints against this and past administrations. I will not bow further than I have. If America doesn't waken soon from this nightmare, America will cease to exist. I will not be one of the ones letting this happen without a fight. Amazing to me that there are many who call themselves American and are helping to bring about this total dissolution of America. Witness Code Pink if you will, a few days ago on a ship flying the American Flag, intending on running the Israeli blockade. God loves Greece, as God stands with all those that support Israel and stands against all those that don't. It will really be bad when God enacts his justice on all those who stand against Israel.
Occam's Tool| 7.4.11 @ 11:29PM
Margie, Ken, Michael(s), gang...I hope you guys had a great 4th! I spent m,y day eating grilled hotdogs, hamburgers, home made icecream, getting a new kitten, and spending time with wife and world's cutest children. G-d Bless you all.
