I like my neighbor’s house. It’s a nice two story with four bedrooms, three baths, gourmet kitchen, and it has a pool! I like it so much I think I will go change the locks and move into it myself. Sound absurd? Not if you are ACORN. They are training people in cities throughout the country how to “peacefully” protest foreclosure by “taking back” foreclosed homes. Some might cheer and say, “Yea! Stick it to the evil banker!” However, they aren’t protesting at the banks. They are breaking the locks off foreclosed homes, taking possession of the homes, and changing the locks. These homes don’t belong to them! Hell, they even don’t even belong to the banks. As you will see in the video below, this particular house had been sold and the new owners were in the process of renovating the house. And this is being called a “peaceful protest.” The ACORN rep interviewed called it trespassing. I call it breaking and entering.
When you listen to the reporter, you will hear that the house was foreclosed on back in September. Also, that it was foreclosed because the owner couldn’t make the payment after it went up by $300. In her words, she tried to get it refinanced but the bank said no. I’m not an accountant nor am I a banker, but if someone can’t afford an additional $300 they probably couldn’t afford the original payment either. Not to mention that ACORN was calling this woman’s circumstance an example of predatory lending. Um… excuse me?

ACORN has already shown that it can rig elections. ACORN peddles Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. ACORN has forced banks to make bad mortgage loans. And now ACORN is training people to steal houses. And we, the people, are paying them to do it. Lest we forget, ACORN stands to receive billions from the stimulus bill which contains $1 billion for “community development block grants” and $2 billion for the “provision of emergency assistance for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes.” Where is the outrage?

This week Obama and his traveling minstrels have been holding tent revivals across the eastern states. As savior of the world, he has made women swoon and young men shout to the heavens praising his name. In his camp meetings Obama has made clear that his plan for us will create jobs, save homes, and put money in our pockets. He promised everything to his children like any good messiah would. Right?
While he was bringing his message of salvation, his closest disciples were cramped together chiseling out the final details of his commandments. As they descended from the mountain we find enscribed on the tablets: $46 billion highway, bridge and mass transit construction. (If you are an equipment operator or a ditch digger, this is good news. I’m college educated, I wonder if I could be a ‘digger of ditches’). Also bestowed upon us is a 60 percent subsidy to help the unemployed pay for COBRA. (I’m still trying to find out if that is retroactive for those thousands of people whose grace period for applying for COBRA has expired). The provision for helping prospective home buyers is all but cut. The $15,000 tax credit for anybody buying a home over the next year was dropped; instead, first-time homebuyers can claim an $8,000 credit; but you have to act fast! It only lasts until the end of August. (Since the banks aren’t loaning money, good luck with that one folks). Out of the $790 billion dollars being spent for this stimulus and the $2 plus TRILLION dollars Geithner wants to spend and the more than $2 trillion already spent to get us out of this “crisis,” Obama’s loyal minions can expect to receive, on average, $13 per week from late spring until January. Then it gets scaled back to $8 per week. Last week our savior told the world that with his plan his sheep “will be able to get that car repaired, pay bills, buy groceries.” He later told us, not to go to Las Vegas. I don’t know about you but I am taking my $13 and investing it. Thirteen lotto tickets.

Last night all of us were treated to Obama’s first news conference as our president. While most of the media is calling it a success I am puking up my cheerios.
As usual, he performed quite well while reading his teleprompters. He showed his inexperience and inability to stay on point when he began taking questions from the so-called press. A few of the questions came from actual journalists while others came from bloggers and columnists. This was the first press conference where those who are not a part of the White House Press Corps were allowed. However, in case you missed it The Washington Post’s Michael A. Fletcher asked the most pressing question that is on every American’s mind, “What do you think about the admission by baseball star Alex Rodriguez that he once used steroids?” Idiot.
Obama’s prepared statement was, thankfully, quite short. For those who are not fluent in ObamaSpeak, I have provided the short transcript of his statement with what he really meant in red italics.
OBAMA: Good evening, everybody. Please be seated. Hello my little pretties. Thank you for worshiping me.
Before I take your questions tonight, I’d like to speak briefly about the state of our economy and why I believe we need to put this recovery plan in motion as soon as possible. Before I take questions from my biggest fans like The Huffington Post and Helen Thomas, who really aren’t even journalists, I would like to manipulate you into blindness about my socialist package.

Back when I was in college; around the same time paper was invented, I studied conspiracy theories and the New World Order. I even wrote a thesis on the subject; most of which I have since forgotten. However, as I opened my newspaper this morning (ok, I turned on my computer but the visual isn’t as compelling) I felt a familiar pang in my gut.
The past two weeks have been filled with the stimulus bill and the ramming of every ludicrous liberal agenda item into it. Hardly noticed, except by the viligant, has been talks of reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine (aka., censorship); an unprecedented move by the White House to oversee the 2010 census (congressional districts are determined by the census); and now I am reading the NSC is undergoing a sweeping overhaul “expanding its membership and increasing its authority to set strategy across a wide spectrum of international and domestic issues.”
I don’t know if I should be afraid or if I should go into counseling for paranoia. But, I do know that my gut is telling me something hinkey is going on. Our government is on track to expand it’s reach into our businesses, homes, lives, and yes even thoughts in a way never before seen in our nation’s history. For the past 8 years I have been afraid of terrorists and the possibility of another attack on our soil. Today, I am afraid of our government and its ongoing attack on us. Or, maybe I should add some Bailey’s to my coffee and just chill.

In a Washington Post op-ed today, Charles Krauthammer , very succinctly states what we have all been thinking.
The Fierce Urgency of Pork
Friday, February 6, 2009
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe.” – President Obama, Feb. 4.
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.
And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and influence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediately followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn’t understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent. Read more
