Corruption Daily Round-Up 10-07


I define corruption not only as wrong-doing but wrong-thinking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but calling people racist because they disagree with you is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. Claiming something is true when it is not is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. Keeping poor people poor through deliberate government policy is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. You get the picture. I am posting these examples of corruption because I believe in naming and shaming.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION
Progressivism? Not so fast, folks. Personally I believe progressivism is socialism-lite and the political gateway drug from center liberalism to far-left communism.

Was Buffy Wicks Also Behind Missouri’s Obama Truth Squad? VIDEO and a two-fer ACORN/UNION and political corruption.

For Whom Do The 47% Who Pay No Income Tax Vote? Following up on last week's post, 47% Will Pay $0 Income Tax in 2009: this chart breaks down the 2008 presidential election by income:



INTERNATIONAL POLICY CORRUPTION
Assessing China's financial power

Chávez jokes about helping Iran build nuclear bomb. Thank goodness Obama spent so much time appeasing them.

I thought Obama's plan of alienating allies and appeasing enemies would heal the whole world. HA! Anti-Americanism Is Alive and Well in the UK


DOMESTIC POLICY CORRUPTION
Study: Redistribution of income due to HR3200

New plan might allow Dems to slip public option through Senate. If you have to make laws by stealth, then chances are your laws are corrupt.

ACORN/NEA/UNION CORRUPTION
Lamar Smith: Special Prosecutor Should Investigate ACORN Any bets on whether Holder will investigate ACORN any more than he has that voter intimidation case?

WHY?!? ACORN Awarded $1M Grant Over Firefighters. Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.

Obama kowtows to labor unions From the Boston Globe (!) and a two-fer, political and union corruption.

Ayers Dreams of Obama. Increasing evidence that domestic terrorist William Ayers ghost-wrote Obama's autobiography? Right now it is hearsay based on this, Obama a Liar??? Ayers admits to writing Obama's book. We will see but I doubt we can trust anything Ayers says as does PowerLine. There's more and I'm beginning to wonder is he saying yes he wrote it when he didn't in order to make Obama's opponents look stupid or is he saying yes he wrote it when he did in order to make Obama look stupid? Or is he just another leftwing hipster douche bag playing mind games in order to get media attention?
