Can someone please briefly and unbiasedly explain ACORN to me?
I'm trying to stay up on things. I've heard this in a few threads now.

what they say they are

http://www.acorn.org/index.php?id=2703

was just looking them up - this is what I found
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities.

dont know more than that, any idea what CFR is?

a lot of cfr references

http://www.google.com/search?q=CFR&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Wonder how long it's going to take those people that they snaked into bad loans to rise up against them? (and the predators that came with and financed them).

They might still be a viable organization for a few more years but they jacked a lot of people and its gonna come back on them from the top and the bottom.

Never piss off the foundation of our nation...

they are slow to anger but long on memory.

Robin, what does CFR stand for?

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities.

A part of what they do is assist with voter registration.

ACORN has been infiltrated by covert operatives that have submitted thousands of bogus voter registrations. Dems and Obama are being accused of being perpetrators in voter fraud.

Code of Federal Regulations?

CFR - Council for Foreign Relations

Or that too.

The ECONOMY is already in MELTDOWN.
When the ELECTION goes into MELTDOWN.
Conditions may be right for the rise of a FASCIST dictator.
FASCISM will come from the right wing extremists.
Study history.

AWE!!!! HE COPY AND PASTED!!!!

Well, we have two threads going the same time about the same subject.

i wanted to start my own so i could get some real input about it rather than get lost in another's that is already full of opinions.

Socializm is a different means to the same end...

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

-Thomas Jefferson

You are a good example of what I think is happening.

They have everybody scared and watching for the "Left Hook" of socialism.

When out from nowhere, her comes the "Right Cross" of fascism.

Knock out.

hey drivin who was it that said

the people will be fine until -- they learn you can bribe them with their own money

Don't know, but i like that quote. Benjamin Franklin had a similar one; "When people find they can vote themselves money, that will hearald the end of the republic."

Socialism doesn't work, just as communism doesnt work.

People say that is unwise, and the right uses this fear to sway votes.

I believe, that there is no color, red or blue. Ialso believe that our founding fathers didn't want the government to run our lives. Why is it wise to think that making the government bigger and giving them more control will somehow help us, when we cant trust them as it is? This is democrats and republicans alike. Just look at how many votes they got to support legislation that is unconstitutional.

The Original American way is to be Independent.

Delux i agree that Facism is dangerous and canlead to dictatorships. But historically socialism doesn't make it that far either. Both are evils, and there must be balance.
