Tea parties show Unity

The mainstream media ignores or mocks us. The Left blows us off or claims we’re the pawns of a “vast, right-wing conspiracy.” The lackadaisical or uninformed look the other way as they drive by. Often even our closest friends do not show interest in these important rallies. The tea parties have taught me not to worry about those reactions. I realized, though, this last Saturday that the most important lesson I’ve learned from my two tea parties is that I’m not alone.

If the tea parties do nothing else (and they will do much to further the conservative cause, I’m sure), they have solidified my belief in the American spirit. Sixty-two million Americans voted for someone other than the guy in the Oval Office right now. Tons of people who did vote for The Chosen One have serious voters’ remorse. They should.

There was an article in the Examiner on the 21st of June about ACORN and their ‘new name.”

I think Michelle Malkin put it best: The story of the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now is tremendously convoluted because “of course, ACORN runs a vast network of affiliates across the country that facilitate its money-shuffling racket.” My guess is that this is also how it maintain its superficial “grassroots” street cred despite its access to resources from on high.

The chapter of the recent ACORN International name change is similarly confusing. To be clear, ACORN proper has not changed their title, only ACORN International, now, Community Organizations International. ACORN International was founded by disgraced ACORN founder, Wade Rathke who was ousted from the main organization after it was revealed that his brother, Dale Rathke , embezzled a small fortune and Wade conspired to conceal the transgression for nearly a decade.

What’s in a name, ACORN?

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
ACORN? Apparently the people at ACORN think we won’t notice if they change their name to Community Organizations International. Sorry, gang. ACORN by any other name doesn’t smell any sweeter, let me tell you. These people are out to push a socialist agenda and commit voter fraud wherever they can get away [...]
