ACORN received an early Christmas present this holiday season when Barack Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder released a decision allowing ACORN to continue to receivefederal funds - despite a pesky law enacted earlier this year which bars ACORN's access to federal funds.

The bipartisan intent of Congress was clear – no more taxpayer dollars should flow to ACORN.

This Administration continues to look for every excuse possible to circumvent the intent of Congress. Taxpayers should not have to continue subsidizing a criminal enterprise that helped Barack Obama get elected president.

The politicization of the Justice Department to pay back one of the president's political allies is shameful and reeks of old-fashioned cronyism.

For months, Democratic committee Chairmen have refused to hold hearings on ACORN.

Yesterday, as the Ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, together with the Ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, I hosted a forum on ACORN to bring light to the numerous additional whistleblowers and new documents that continue to paint the full picture of an organization built to garner political power and pay favors to the friends of powerful politicians.

At the forum, whistleblower Anita MonCrief, and other witnesses like the Indiana Secretary of State explained how ACORN systematically exploits low-income Americans, pressuring them enroll in a membership scheme which debits $10 per month from their bank account, often immediately after contacting them to, ostensibly to provide advice on their troubled home loans.

The witnesses also detailed a pattern of partisan political behavior, all of which contradicts ACORN's assertions that it does not use federal funds or tax-deductible charitable donations for partisan politicking.

Democrats refuse to hold ACORN accountable, but I won’t rest until we know the whole truth about ACORN's illicit activities.

Rep. Steve King: Bauer was hired to 'erase tracks' between Obama, ACORN

Is Political Correctness a Clear and Present Danger?

Does Holder Have a Hidden Agenda?

Krauthammer:
This is all show and it's gonna be a show trial which the terrorists will conduct against us, against the Bush Adm. and the methods, secondly, it's gonna be the second half of the terror attack, the first half is you attack and you kill, you become notorious and you cause pain and sensation. Then a decade later you appear at the scene of the crime and you have the biggest forum in the world to explain and proclaim the ideology behind it, this is a travesty.

Transparency in Partisanship on Capitol Hill

Alexander to White House: Don't Create 'Enemies List'

Oct. 21, 9:31 a.m.

A top Senate Republican will take to the floor Wednesday morning to suggest that the Obama White House is plotting a political strategy similar to that of ex-President Richard Nixon and may be on the verge of preparing its own “enemies list.”

Those evil, brainwashing, hypocrites! A combination of reverse-Clockwork Orange and A Brave New World

With more than 200 individual threads and thousands of comments on the eligibility issue alone, moderators of the White House website on "open government dialogue" have been working tirelessly to edit the dialogue aboutBarack Obama's elusive "long-form" birth certificate.

It was the first time any member of the press corps has publicly asked a member of the administration a question directly related to Obama's constitutional eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen."

The "Certification of Live Birth" posted online and widely touted as "Obama's birth certificate" does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same "short-form" document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true "long-form" birth certificate – which includes information like the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.

The U.S. Census Bureau, reflecting what apparently is becoming a political position that involves more than one federal agency, has listed "hate groups," "law enforcement" "and "anti-immigrant groups" among those that would be refused permission to become a partner with the 2010 Census. Not so ACORN, whose members repeatedly have been accused of illegal election activities.

90 to 6: Maybe NOW Obama Will Learn that his Constituents are from the EXTREME LEFT!!!

 “Senate votes to block funds for Guantanamo closure” 

“In a major rebuke to 
President Barack Obama, the Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to block the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States and denied the administration the millions it sought to close the prison. 

The 90-6 Senate vote—paired with similar House action last week—was a clear sign to Obama that he faces a tough fight getting the Democratic-controlled Congress to agree with his plans to shut down the detention center and move the 240 detainees.”


I say again:Were she Gingrich[Eighty-four ethics charges, most of which were leveled by House Democratic Whip David Bonior, were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term, including claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes. 83 of the 84 were dropped.[29] However, Gingrich admitted to providing inaccurate statements during the probe over the college course and agreed to pay US$300,000 for the cost of the investigation, despite denying the charges over misuse of tax-exempt funds. [30][31] The House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented "intentional or ... reckless" disregard of House rules.[32] Special Counsel James M. Cole concluded that Gingrich violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. However, the full panel refused to reach a conclusion about whether Gingrich had violated federal tax law and instead decided to leave that finding up to the IRS.[33] In 1999, the IRS cleared the organizations connected with the "Renewing American Civilization" courses under investigation for possible tax violations.[34]]  The Speaker would be OUT!
PETTY, PETTY charges against a patriot such as Speaker Gingrich.  Serious, serious charges against Speaker Pelosi.  Nope, not going to investigate.  "Politics of distraction" say Dem's.  Bunch of hypocrites!

TRANSPARENCY UNMASKED

Obama Bars Access To His Records from Obama Files 
On his first day in office, January 21, 2009, Obama signed Executive Order 13489. This order was entered into the Federal Register on January 26, 2009. 

What this executive order says, is that only the Attorney General (Eric Holder) and Council to the President, (Gregory Craig) are able to review presidential records requests and determine if they can be made public or not. (See Section 3) 
In other words, you aren't going to see any records or documents that Obama doesn't want you to see. 
It shouldn't surprise anyone that Obama's first official act was to deny access to his records. Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no bona fides -- no paper trail -- nothing. 

Original, vault copy birth certificate -- Not released -- Lawyers fees -- greater than $1,000,000 -- birth certificate -- $15. 
Certificate of Live Birth -- Released -- Counterfeit 
Obama/Dunham marriage license -- Not released 

Obama/Dunham divorce -- Released (by independent investigators) 

Kindergarten records -- Records lost 
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license -- Not released 
Soetoro adoption records -- Not released 

Soetoro/Dunham divorce -- Released (by independent investigators) 
Fransiskus Assisi School School application -- Released (by independent investigators) 
Punahou School records -- Not released 
Selective Service Registration -- Released -- Counterfeit 
Occidental College records -- Not released 
Passport -- Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obama's terrorism and intelligence adviser. 
Columbia College records -- Not released 
Columbia thesis -- Not released 
Harvard College records -- Not released 
Harvard Law Review articles -- None 

Illinois Bar Records -- Not released. 
Baptism certificate -- None 
Medical records -- Not released 
Illinois State Senate records -- None 
Illinois State Senate schedule -- Lost 
Law practice client list -- Not released 
University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None 
Go ahead, tell me that this is just a coincidence.

Obama's nose grows another couple of inches

This is a president, mind you, who promised to "listen" to the people and not dictate to them. Either he needs a hearing aid or he's just making stuff up as he goes along.
I'll take the latter explanation.

First Step to One Party System:

Homeland Security warns of 'right-wing radicals'; 9-page report sent to police...
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. "It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.

It's a shocking document, folks.  The report warns of "rightwing extremism" andWashington Times reveals that the report defines such extremism as, "groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority" and "groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

Barack Obama's administration is basically telling law enforcement that the potential enemy to this country and law-and-order are individuals who are pro-life, want the U.S. border secured, and believe in state's rights.  And it gets even worse:  the DHS report says military men and women returning from Iraqand Afghanistan should be perceived to be a potential threat.  How dare Obama and his administration attempt to tarnish the noble, honorable and selfless service of our brave troops!

It's all part of Obama's efforts to silence and marginalize conservatives so he can push his radical far-Left agenda through, unfettered.
