Somewhere Freddy Kruger is smiling


Folks, we’re sure you’d be tickled to know that an outfit that has been a vital cog in Big Government machinery for years now will be receiving hundreds of millions of dollars via the stimulus package to… break the law.

Teams of ACORN Home Defenders – volunteers from local communities – will employ civil disobedience as needed to help people who have faced foreclosure to stay in their homes until a comprehensive federal solution has been put in place.

In Baltimore, 30 ACORN members met at the former home of ACORN member Donna Hanks, broke the lock on the front door and entered the house, to find that it had fallen into disrepair and had been vandalized in the several months it has sat vacant since the bank foreclosed.


It has not been factually determined whether or not that was merely the state the house was left in when vacated… but we digress.

That isn’t civil disobedience – that’s what is known in most polite circles as “break and enter”.

And what are some of the elements in ACORN’s housing recovery plan as endorsed by President Obama:

· Lift the ban on judicial modifications for primary residences
· Require foreclosure prevention protocols from recipients of taxpayer assistance
· Fix Hope for Homeowners by streamlining and broadening eligibility requirements
· Utilize $75 billion to facilitate mortgage modifications to affordable payments
· Strengthen Fannie and Freddie to facilitate affordable refinancing of loans

It’s like a nightmare that never ends. The same bad acting and the same bad actors that have brought us to where we are right now, keep popping back up when they should’ve been taken out at the knees a long, long time ago.

So where did we find this info? From some right-wing muckrake like Worldnet Daily or NewsMax? Nope and nope. It’s all right there in the glorious black and white agate on the ACORN website.
