If their efforts helped to discredit ACORN and Obama then well and good. We’re fighting for survival agains a ruthless and nearly all powerful enemy. If it works, go for it.

Yes, and let’s pull the “faith based” funding as well. Faith in what is the appropriate question. God or government extortion via taxes?

Their ignorance about the pressing issues concerning our country, are simply shocking. There have been many instants, when a reporter or even a comedian (Jay Leno) asks questions to everyday people in New York City, supposedly the most sophisticated city on planet earth, the responses are simply appalling. Someone was asked what he thought about Collin Powell and his response was: “Isn’t he a basketball player?” Someone else was asked if she knew about the “Gettysburg Address”. She said, “Yes, I just don’t know where it is”. The “dumbing down” of America is at full speed and and it’s success is guaranteed. How sad.

That said, these are the parasites that want to tax me out of everything I produce and will gladly see me sent to prison if I refuse to pay. And they’re getting a huge amount of purloined tax money to push their communist agenda. Here we see how they disregard the rules they like to have imposed on me.

Those who use the laws of the juggernaut to crush me richly deserve to be tossed under the wheels themselves.

These are people who manipulate policy through perceptions using underhanded tactics. I think it’s great that the public is now handed a more truthful perception of who and what they are.

About those mythical girls — would it be OK if I went to Guatemala and brought back a 13 year old for my own pleasure if she were better off than where she came from? I don’t think so. I think that’s a pretty thin justification for the concept of what really amounts to sex slavery.

Our tax code is an abomination and needs to be abolished. And I believe outlawing prostitution and then profiting from it is probably the world’s second oldest profession. Still … teenage girls plucked from another country?

Finally, though, I don’t believe any crime was committed here. By exposing this hypocrisy and their eagerness to abet criminal enterprise, we can hope the public funding gets pulled.

I generally agree with one important exception: public officials. They should be relentlessly tested by law enforcement since temptation to corruption is a constant for public officials. Let them therefore be afraid that any person seeking unjust favors is setting a trap.
