SENATORS DICK DURBIN AND ROLAND BURRIS VOTE TO CONTINUE FINANCIAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY ACORN
Barack Obama has received incalculable help from ACORN over the years. In fact Obama’s political career, from his earliest days in Chicago, was linked to ACORN.
Obama “flirted” with socialists and radicals as a student at Occidental College, at Columbia University and after his arrival in Chicago. In 2008 the media pretended not to see Obama’s radical history and avoided asking probing questions about his radical associations. Sean Hannity was alone in exposing Obama.
This week two Illinois U. S. Senators were among the “Sinful Seven” that voted against denying federal funds to ACORN. Senators Dick Durbin and Roland Burris voted “no” on the suspension. The good People of Illinois have been shamed by the votes of their senators.
Why do Durbin and Burris grovel to ACORN? Because ACORN’S parent/affiliate, the Service Employees International Union (“SEIU”) is the largest union in Illinois. Period. And the SEIU is an increasingly radical and unprincipled union. Period, again.
The Democratic Party’s public officials are in a SEIU chokehold.
SEIU is also strangling the City of Chicago’s economic life. SEIU campaigns have been waged to elect radical socialists to the Chicago City Council. The SEIU has tried to make it all but impossible for Wal-Mart to open stores within the city limits despite the obvious public demand for low prices.
And yet, and yet despite the SEIU’S chokehold and ACORN’S criminality, time is running out for Barack Obama. He can delay the inevitable fall of ACORN, but it is doubtful he can prevent the organization from being prosecuted and eventually disbanded.
ACORN’S criminality has become too pervasive and public to sweep under any carpet, even Obama’s
ACORN and I go back along way. I tried the first bank holding company case at the Federal Reserve Board in 1973. I often petitioned on behalf of the public interest in Federal Reserve Matters. Eventually, I saw the name of a new group start to appear in filings with the Fed: ACORN.
I came to find out that ACORN was petitioning to be heard so that the organization could ultimately extort money from bank holding companies. I kept my distance from ACORN. Their “public interest” was purely an interest in “private profit,” for ACORN.
In 2008 ACORN became notorious for vote fraud in major states such as Ohio. There is no secrecy about the group’s goals: de facto socialist revolution in America, something which I predicted on Sean Hannity’s America during the 2008 campaign: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8zj_Fj3QpY&annotation_id=annotation_259119&feature=iv
And so nothing that Obama & Co. are now doing surprises me. I predicted it all last year. I was criticized for my predictions last year; no one is criticizing me now.
Still, the enormity of the fraud being orchestrated by ACORN, and the blatant and brazen efforts to loot federal funds for their own operations, are no secret. So why did Durbin and Burris blind themselves to ACORN’S abuses and surrender to the ACORN “bordello?”
Because Durbin and Burris are both political prostitutes.
And because Illinois has become America’s rogue’s gallery of radicalism.
The Chicago Way? A disgrace to the People of Illinois.
