Well, gee - I guess that settles it!

I take it you didn't actually READ the defund ACORN amendment, or even read ABOUT it. If you had, you'd notice why it got such broad-based bipartisan support: It was written so broadly that it applies to ALL contractors or any business OR INDIVIDUAL that does business with the U.S. government. Yup, that means we can now drop Halliburton/KBR, Blackwater/Xe, DynCorp, Wackenhut, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrup-Grumman, and a host of others from doing business with our government.

Of course, I also can't help but notice that not once have you EVER come out decrying any of their alleged crimes. Guess you approve of things like murder of American soldiers (16 of whom have died of electrocution due to faulty wiring installed by KBR), murder of Iraqi civilians (dozens of whom have been murdered by Blackwater/Xe), rape of children in forced-prostitution/pedophilia rings (DynCorp), and the like. Just so we're clear, I want to get you on record: You're outraged when one person at ACORN goes along with a FAKE prostitution ring, but you have no comment - or even avidly support it - when military contractors engage in FORCED, ACTUAL prostitution rings involving little girls. Good to know where your priorities lie. That puts you right in line with your Republican party-mates, who share your same "values".

Wasn't it Blackwater who seem to have misplaced some $12 billion in taxpayer money in Iraq? And aren't they the ones currently under investigation for stealing weapons from U.S. soldiers, and then selling them to the enemy, to be used against us? Odd that you keep defending them. I guess you'll defend ANYTHING, as long as it makes your Republican friends rich...

And Niki2, or Rue/Signy, or whoever you are...why don't you take your head out of your ass and see what's going on with this Administration? Then you might not be so damn smug and condescending to FFF posters here.

So, AuRaptor/"Hero", or whatever the hell you are, why don't you pull your head out of Bush's ass, wipe Cheney's splooge off your chin, and see what's been going on for the last eight years? Then you might not be so smug and condescending, once you realize what your "conservative" idols have actually done to this country.

Now. I may not be the best person to voice this opinion, as some of my previous rants have skirted the edge of racism... but I do see stuff like this all the time....

Skirted the edge? Is that like saying that Hitler skirted the edge of anit-Semitism now and again?

The U.S. Census Bureau has cut off all ties with Acorn.
The Attorney General of Louisiana has a major criminal investigation into Acorn.
11 states have election fraud investigations against Acorn in progress.
Acorn has had millions of US tax dollars stolen from it over the years by top Acorn officials.
The Acorn offices videotaped by the 2 corruption-busters dealt not only with setting up illegal and fraudulent housing for a prostitution house, but also with smuggling in under-age girls, as young as 13 from Latin America.

Oooh, big bad evil Acorn. They should have been doing defense contracting, then anything and everything they do would be okay.

Apparently there is a group of cops, military, firemen ect who have decided that they will NOT act on any un-Constitutional orders. Do we hear about them?

No.

THIS is the *important* headline.

Too bad they, like you, didn't have the balls to stand up like that when Dubya was actually doing the shit they're complaining about.

Right? These people act like ACORN and calling FauxNews on their utter bullshit are the biggest issues facing the country right now.
