I received some interesting knowledge today that allows me to separate fact from a Glenn Beck diatribe. In this case with this particular organization
he seems to be correct. ACORN is corrupt, dysfunctional and a political tool. They absolutely need to defunded and thoroughly investigated.
The main problem I see is Glenn Beck painting all organizations with similar missions with the same broad brush. Do not listen to him trying to guilt
them by association. There are many he'll bring up that do quality work without millions in govenment funding. Many that have worked with ACORN hate
them just as much or more than anyone here getting their info from FOX.
I agree, Who else is bringing this news to the fore front?
*I think* we can agree that the discerning viewer will use good common sense in gauging the validity of Beck stories. There is deep reaching
corruption in Washington...
Since they are the leaders ... Well, Let me put it like this ... Most people follow, whether they like it or not, there are very few leaders. There
are even fewer leaders that have high ethics.
We are all human and susceptible to corruption. When our leaders at the highest level exhibit (or at the very least ignore) corruption they are
condoning it and the flock follows,
EVEN if they are unaware of doing so...
ACORN is a great example, their leader Rathke(s), have shown through action by embezzling great sums of money (only caught them
once so
far) and were never charged. That sends a huge message to those working for them.
What we're seeing isn't Beck leading any charge forward but perhaps pushing those in power, through his wide audiences, to push
their Reps.
to be accountable for their actions.
It's working. The Reps. realize, through this last march on Washington, the town halls, that their days are numbered if they don't get their hands
out of the cookie jar and start leading by example.
We're seeing that happening, this week especially!
It needs to keep going at break neck speed. Who knows where this will all lead... It must keep going at all costs.
