ACORN Tentacles Growing In Canada

Mulder

Tuesday night on local Ottawa CTV news there was a piece about a small group of citizens living in sub standard housing.  In the middle of the clip I hear the war cry of ACORN… “What do we want…Justice….When do we want it….Now.”  And my heart sank because I knew immediately that the tentacles of the Rathke brothers and Saul Alinsky have reached into our fair nation.  Up until tonight I had not heard a peep out of them.  But now that has all changed.

After decades of sucking the life (not to mention billions of dollars) out of the USA, ACORN has set it’s sites on global targets and Canada is a target.

From the website of ACORN Canada.

Don’t miss a thing; enter your email address to stay up to date with ACORN Canada’s work organizing Canada’s low income communities for social justice!

The redistribution of wealth is their ultimate goal.   With lines like “organizing low income communities for social justice” it won’t be long until the voter fraud starts. In the USA the name ACORN has been getting such a bad reputation that they are changing their name to avoid the negative connotations associated with being (pardon the pun) a little nuts.

ACORN now has offices in Toronto (HQ), Ottawa, Surrey/Vancouver and Hamilton.

Liberals Need Comparison Before Grading Conservative Spending Of Stimulus Money

Mulder

So we here at OfficiallyScrewed.com are going to give it to them.

Today, Liberal critic Gerard Kennedy had a few choice words for John Baird regarding stimulus spending.

Liberal infrastructure critic Gerard Kennedy said the minister was ducking from his responsibilities.

“It is politically convenient for him to say he doesn’t know why projects aren’t happening, when, in fact, the government has been responsible for all the delays until now,” Kennedy said.

So far, the federal government says $2.8 billion of the $4-billion infrastructure stimulus fund has been spent and more than 1,700 projects have been approved.

Meanwhile just tonight on Hannity, Karl Rove gave us some details on how the U.S. stimulus spending is going. The Americans have spent a mere $67.4 Billion out of a $787 Billion stimulus package.

So Canada has spent 70% of our stimulus while the Americans have spent 8.6% of theirs.

Gerard Kennedy should hang his head in shame for even suggesting that our Federal government is holding up spending.

Sheila Copps Is A Partisan Second And A Hypocrite First

Mulder

Sheila Copps wrote a piece for the Hill Times where she spews on about how women in politics (whether politicians or journalists) are being ignored and shoved to the sidelines but she eschews the top female news maker in politics, Governor Sarah Palin.

It is not only an injustice to her article to avoid mentioning Palin, but it demonstrates that Liberals are as much in line with the likes of the ACLU, who did not lift a finger to defend Palin against late night host David Letterman when he made jokes about her 14 yr old daughter having sex with a Major League baseball player.

In addition, Copps goes on about how the Liberal Party should up it’s female candidate quota from 33% to 40% in the next election and she mentions the number of female cabinet members Obama has named but she doesn’t mention the fact that the only major political party in Canada without a female leader in it’s history is her own Liberal Party.

What a hypocrite. Sheila Copps is a major reason why this country is OfficiallyScrewed.

Socialism Explained Simply

Mulder

I got this via email from a friend.  Nothing could be simpler.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.   After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who  studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.  The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

Sometimes You Have To Scratch Your Head

Received in my email. Probably because I provide components to the makers of Blackberry and because I am pretty Conservative.

Recently Michelle Obama went to serve food to the homeless at a government funded soup kitchen .

York University Professor Likens "Sexting" To "Spin The Bottle"

Mulder

York University Professor Peter Cummings has likened “Sexting” to “Spin The Bottle”.

For those who are unaware, “sexting” is a play on the word “texting” and refers to someone taking nude photos of themselves and sending via cell phone to others.

Peter Cumming, an associate professor at York University in Toronto, presented a paper on children’s sexuality at the 78th Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences defending the practice as a modern variation on “playing doctor or spin-the-bottle.”

This is, quite simply, a travesty. It takes a big step forward in the degradation of our youth when someone in the education field indicates that it is a modern right of passage the way “spin the bottle” was years ago.

I do agree with the professor that youth should not be prosecuted for this. I would go so far as to say the same “of similar age” defense should apply to this. But the fact remains that indicating that “sexting” is as acceptable as a kissing game is not even close to hitting the mark.

The ramifications of “spin the bottle” is perhaps a cold sore or perhaps even mononucleosis, both of which are not the end of the world. But when someone has their nude photos potentially spread all over the internet the outcome is potentially far worse.

That this person is an educator, and someone we entrust our children to, makes it that much worse.

Jack Layton is Canada's Barney Frank

Mulder

Today in Power Play, Jack Layton said that a reasonable credit card rate is needed for low income Canadians.  Jack Layton is dead wrong.

Good credit card rates are given to people who have a history of paying their cards off.  Bad credit card rates are how banks and lending institutes pay for cards that people default on.

So why is Jack Layton our version of Barney Frank?
In 1999, Democrat Barney Frank called for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to provide low income mortgages to Americans known as NINJA loans.  NINJA stood for No Income, No Job or Assets.  So in essence, what the Democrats, under Bill Clinton, did was to create the conditions for the sub prime implosion that has caused the current recession by allowing people who had no business owning a home to get one at great rates usually reserved for people with Jobs, Income or Assets that are used as collateral.
If you doubt the validity of this, you can read the article at the NY Times by clicking here.

So today, Jack Layton feels that Canadians who are not eligible for low interest rates should get them in a similar fashion to what Barney Frank called for back in 1999.

The whole reason there are different credit card rates is many fold.  One is for points options or freebies.  But the main reason is because people who have no business getting credit often default on their payments and put their credit rating in further disarray.  This in turn makes it almost impossible for them to get a half decent rate.

So the question that Jack Layton needs to answer is…..Does he expect the tax payer to bailout people who have bad credit when they default on the credit cards they have no business getting in the first place?
