The good people at Townhall magazine previously published a profile I wrote of ACORN. The article is called “Stealing Democracy” Read it here. (PDF) Here is the beginning of the article: In the parallel universe occupied by many left-of-center Americans, the increasingly controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is a high-minded poor people’s group similar to crusading civil rights groups of the 1960s. They believe ACORN is a public-spirited organization that registers the poor to vote and encourages citizen involvement in morally uplifting projects and community development. They believe it spurs production of affordable housing, protects tenants’ … Continue reading ACORN has never cared about the poor. Never.

If a radical group closely associated with the  president of the United States and known for its efforts to undermine American democracy were convicted in a massive voter fraud conspiracy you’d expect to hear something about it from the mainstream media, wouldn’t you? Wrong. Except for the odd FoxNews.com report and a few local reports there has been a media blackout. On April 6 the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), that is, the organization itself as opposed to its employees, was convicted in Las Vegas of felony “compensation” for registration of voters. Sentencing is scheduled for August 10. … Continue reading ACORN Convicted In Massive Voter Fraud Conspiracy, Legacy Media Yawns

I have an op-ed in today’s Washington Times. Here is the top of the article: Are Mickey Mouse and Mary Poppins registered to vote in Nevada? In a Las Vegas courtroom last week, prosecutors found the fictional characters not guilty but convicted those impersonating them of voter fraud. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the radical left-wing activist group, was convicted in a massive voter-fraud conspiracy. It has been committing identify theft for decades. ACORN pleaded guilty to unlawful “compensation” for registration of voters, a felony under Nevada law. The plea came after senior ACORN executives Amy … Continue reading Obama’s favorite gangsters convicted again: How many convictions before Justice Department recognizes racketeering?

Despite its claim to be in extremis in the latter part of 2010, ACORN was busy on the campaign trail. A newly rebranded Pennsylvania chapter of ACORN, Pennsylvania Neighborhoods for Social Justice, worked to promote the ultimately failed candidacy of Joe Sestak, a Democrat who sought a seat in the U.S. Senate. ACORN is not dead. Continue reading ACORN aided Sestak campaign in 2010

(originally posted at NewsReal) Finally a movie comes along that sticks it to the ruling class that is deliberately and maliciously driving America into the ground. The message of the movie adaptation of Ayn Rand’s 1,200-page opus, Atlas Shrugged, is that the productive should be able to go about their business without being hindered by the nonproductive and the anti-productive mischief makers of government. It is a celebration of the many virtues of capitalism, a topic I editorialized about previously atNewsReal. And it turns out it’s surprisingly good! I saw the movie at a special advance screening kindly provided by the Washington, … Continue reading It’s Time to Go Galt: Atlas Shrugged Movie is a Winner
