How can such a deep moral divide ever be healed? How do you "reach out" to people who condone child rape and enslavement?

They just refuse to acknowledge that it exists in the numbers that it does. Or will say that others are doing it also, and by saying that they mean they are no different than anyone else. It is a third world mentality.

Years ago, Barney Frank was "censured" by the House for "fixing" parking tickets for his gay room mate. It turned out the gay room mate was running a homosexual prostitution ring out of their apartment and he got the parking tickets while hanging around local schools, recruiting school children for the ring. This latter fact was ignored by the media.

In viewing the ACORN tapes I was a little stunned at how relaxed and effortless the ACORN workers seemed to be in responding to the "pimp" and his request for assistance with this kind of thing. It's like they do it all the time and this is just another "day in the life." It was also a little unnerving that all the ACORN people were black or hispanic, people who are always railing about "white racism" and "white privilege" and "slavery and Jim Crow."

The tape of the San Diego ACORN incident showed a male Hispanic ACORN worker who jumped at the idea of helping to enslave and rape 15 year old Hispanic girls (from El Salvador) even volunteering to use one of his "contacts" to help smuggle them into the country.

These people are not from the third world, but are Americans who were born and raised here. There is something more than just a "third world mentality." Do the billionaires who run the Main Stream Media, that has completely ignored the story, also have a third world mentality? There is something very ugly and very troubling about this, especially when it was known to all of the congress and they're still willing to fund this organization.

I have never personally known anyone who would go along with this kind of thing and I doubt any of you have either. Yet virtually the entire Congress and the President and U.S. Attorney General, not to mention state attorneys general and local prosecutors, are willing to just blow it off. This reflects a level of evil and corruption that I did not think possible, even for liberals. And frankly, the GOP should have been making noises about this before now.

If these monsters will condone the enslavement and raping of children, is anything off limits? My heart has never been this heavy. Something really terrible has happened. Most people never noticed and those who did are numbed by corruption or indifference.

Republicans Accuse Obama of ACORN Cover-up

House Republicans accused the Obama administration Tuesday of covering up criminal activities committed by the embattled community activist group ACORN, saying that the president has used the group as an illegal political tool to help himself and other Democrats get elected.
"The current administration is fast becoming, in reality, the war room of ACORN's political machine," said Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican. "I am concerned that the era of corruption promulgated by ACORN and protected by the White House is just the beginning."
The top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said ACORN has engaged in "illegal, partisan activities designed to help individual Democratic members."
"This (action) goes from city councilmen to state assemblymen all the way to President Barack Obama," he said.
Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said Mr. Obama's past ties to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) will "taint any conclusions" by any Justice Department probe into the group.
Mr. Issa and Mr. Smith made their remarks at a Capitol Hill forum on ACORN that they sponsored. The event was attended by a handful of House Republicans but no Democrats.
Congressional Democrats, while condemning many of ACORN's practices, see no illegal ties between the group and the White House.
Many of the Republican lawmakers used the event to try to link the White House to ACORN - a group under intense scrutiny after hidden-camera videos showed its workers advising a woman posing as a prostitute how to cheat on taxes and loan applications.
The liberal organization also has been accused of voter registration fraud that benefited Democratic candidates in several states.
Mr. Obama served as an ACORN lawyer during his years as a community organizer in Chicago but has cut ties with the group since elected as president.
"When this investigation is finally finished ... these roads following ACORN will lead to the White House," said Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican.
Republicans have pressed the Justice Department and the FBI to conduct a comprehensive investigation of ACORN. They are upset that the Democrat-controlled Congress hasn't launched its own probe.
Congress recently canceled federal funding to ACORN and its affiliated organizations. But the Justice Department released a memo last week concluding that the government should pay ACORN for contracts that were in place before Congress passed the law.

As long as Holder is in charge over there you can bet that he will do exactly what he is ordered to do

Not go after acorn

We are in serious trouble folks , I just hope in the near future these idiots have to defend their illegal and outrageous actions before the American people.
