ACORN’s Flagrant Eminent Domain Abuse


“A man’s home is his castle,” Glenn Beck said on his TV show Wednesday. “A man’s home is the shelter from the storm. It’s been decorated by you, has your pictures. It is yours.”
But the poorest of the poor don’t have money to go against huge companies that want to take their homes for redevelopment projects, [...]

Why Won’t the Mainstream Media Cover the ACORN Story?


It’s blindingly obvious why corrupt leftist lawmakers including House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and his subcommittee chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) won’t investigate their good friends at ACORN, but as evidence continues to mount of ACORN’s habitual, potentially criminal wrongdoing, why does the mainstream media refuse to investigate a scandal that “could be as historically [...]

Oh, Those “Progressives”


Left-wingers have been running away from the adjective liberal for years.
“The liberal brand is tarnished,” said Democracy Alliance member Rob Glaser, who heads the online multimedia company RealNetworks. He wants to “change the political paradigm” and treat the word “progressive” as a thing “that’s nurtured and managed just like any other brand.”

Is ObamaCare Constitutional?


Glenn Beck’s concerns about the lack of constitutional authority for federal government spending and federal programs are always well-intentioned and often well-founded, but uncharacteristically Beck slipped up last week.

Why Does Citigroup Fund Groups That Hate Freedom?


Should Citigroup, a recipient of U.S. government aid, be giving tax dollars to any political group, especially one as notorious as ACORN?

A Marxist Christian Charity Passes The Collection Plate This Sunday


The Saul Alinsky-inspired charity known as the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is filled with and funded by plenty of well-intentioned people who probably sincerely believe their efforts are improving America.
The problem is they’re largely Marxists and Marxism has never helped anyone.
As I wrote in an op-ed in the Thursday Washington Times, as this Sunday’s “second [...]

Government and Leftist Groups Created the Housing Bubble


The housing bubble that is now deflating and wreaking havoc with the economy was created by several factors, Glenn Beck said on his TV show today.
“The Fed and the politicians” are responsible, he said.
Activist groups were encouraged to agitate by the Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act, which enshrined in law a kind of lending protection racket. Banking [...]

SEIU Wants Socialized Medicine To Boost Its Member Rolls


The radical left-wing Service Employees International Union (SEIU) stands to reap huge benefits if America adopts a socialist, single-payer healthcare system.
Glenn Beck said on his TV program that
The unions are in trouble. They desperately need government healthcare because they’ve promised far too much. Huge benefit packages, massive retirement pensions, have the unions scrambling to unload the [...]

SEIU’s Andy Stern Denies He’s A Radical!


In a Washington News Observer video, Andrew (Andy) Stern, boss of the radical union SEIU, denies Glenn Beck’s frequent accusation that Stern is a radical. (see first video below)
Despite what Glenn Beck says, I am a capitalist, not a socialist, communist, or anything else he’s called me in the last two weeks.
Given Stern’s influence in the Obama [...]

Calif. A-G Jerry Brown Plans To Rig ACORN Probe?


Jerry Brown, the ethically challenged left-winger who serves as California’s Democratic attorney general, won’t conduct an honest probe of ACORN, according to an ACORN insider. ACORN has been in hot water since September when undercover videos surfaced showing its employees bending over backwards to counsel clients to break the law. In the videos conservative filmmaker [...]
