I want you to watch something - whether you are Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Left-Wing - watch it because what you think afterwards says more about you than anything else.

This is what I want you to watch.

What you think will put you into any number of camps. Those camps can comprise of disliking the poor, liking imperialism, wishful thinking that what you have just watched is a lie - it isn't, but some will see it that way, I guarantee you that.

Some will not watch it, some will watch only a short amount and dismiss it - that will put you into the camp of the closed minded - which you already knew you were anyway.

If you watch it and not think any differently - then how can you proclaim that you are against many things that society find reprehensible? Trafficking children for sex is OK by you. Murdering US soldiers is a plus side. Being fleeced of millions of dollars that are then use to dupe you into thinking that massive corporations have your best interests at heart - that, too, it fine by you.

I am not asking you to change your vote, or, indeed those that you admire so much. What I am asking is for you to look within yourself and see if it is really possible for you to think whether you really do support what you say you do - or if you are allowing yourself to be a puppet.

Do you have the capacity to think a little different than you do now?

for me, that's like preaching to the choir. OG, Rachel. well, for once she makes good points, and yes, it would be great to defund these other questionable 'groups' as well.


what's a vote gonna do? they don't as us to vote on all these contracts.

I didn't watch the whole video but I think I saw enough. I wasn't aware of ACORN until this publicity stunt. And, of course, I'm not an American citizen.  It does pain me to see how the ordinary citizen appears to be steamrollered by large, dishonest corporations with the collusion of big government.  The strength and hope of your great country lies in the strength and hope of the ordinary people living there.

Defunding ACORN was a kneejerk reaction I would rather my congress wasn't prone to do.  Alas, this is not to be.  (I do find it odd, however, that one of the few times our congress acted in a bipartisan manner, it turns out to be unconstitutional.)  But, in any large corporation, you will find members committing questionable, even criminal acts.  It is these individuals that need to be dealt with, and if doing this action decimates the corporation to the point of inviability, then so be it.  But destroying a major corporation as the first action isn't the answer.
