Obama, Acorn and the Other Shoe

So, now that we know how "wonderful" and "virtuous" Acorn is and has been, is it or isn't it time to let the other shoe drop here and ask the question: What kind of illegal activities was our President involved in when he was an Acorn community organizer?
 
It seems incredible to believe that Mr. Obama managed to emerge from his years of service at Acorn without having been mixed up or directly overseeing similar activities or maybe even things that were far worse.  Now, our media machine in America, captained predominantly by proudly and devotedly leftist pirate commanders, has been sailing the precarious seas of blissful ignorance while refusing to recognize anything that would harm the objects of their devotion - their political heroes and the policies that they ferry back and forth looking for the political harbor of public indifference, ignorance and apathy.  You have to wonder how bad it really is when so little effort by just a few - with their feet still on the shore - can cause so much trouble in so little time for the Acorn people.  The articles have been written thanks to Drudge, Beck, Malkin, the Journal and sites like Townhall to expose how many voter fraud prosecutions and other various misdemeanors have been tied to Acorn.  So when is the other shoe going to drop?  How much of this ugly abuse of our democratic system has our President and all his extremist buddies been involved in?  And the next question that is begged here is how much more is to come from the White House if nothing is done about calling out the truth on the corruption that exists in Washington's halls, New York's news bureaus and in the offices of our nation's community organizations.   
 
Congratulations to those who called out the truth this last weekend.  Well done.  One battle won in the war.  We have much still to do.

Another Evidence of the Faith of our Fathers

As the American Colonials enganged the British in a seige at Boston it became necessary for them to build the first American Navy.  Six schooners were commissioned and personally outfitted by George Washington to harrass the British navy.  The symbol of liberty in Boston and throughout the colonies had become the Liberty Tree - a large elm where the Sons of Liberty would meet.  For the new American navy a flag was commissioned with a pine tree on it (perhaps easier to mass produce on a flag than an elm) and the enscryption was ordered, "An Appeal to Heaven" - likely a recognition that the Americans would need the help of Heaven to defeat the mightier British Army and Navy.  The first vessels commissioned by the Continental Congress sailed under the same device as well as the Massachessetts Navy.  Pennsylvania Floating Batteries in 1775, 1777-1778 in defense of Philadelphia also flew the same flag. 
 
The new great - or not so great Atheist movement - in America has tried for years to depict our founding fathers as faithless or ignore our religious heritage in an effort to paint the U.S. Constitution as a document requiring freedom from religion.  This misguided perspective is argued by many good evidences which we all know - and also by the first official, commissioned flag of the U.S. Navy.  "An Appeal to Heaven.  Of course atheists arguments have changed from arguing our religious traditions to the new "religion threatens the free world" arguments espoused by such previously divergent minds as Christopher Hitchens and Bill Maher. 
 
The U.S. Postal System made "An Appeal to Heaven" a part of the historic flags commemorative set in 1968 along with nine other colonial flags. 
[Washington's Cruisers flag]
In a letter dated 10/20/1775 George Washington's secretary, Col. Joseph Reed, wrote from Cambridge, Mass. to Colonels Glover and Moyland and stated:  
"Please fix upon some particular color for a flag, and a signal by which our vessels may know one another. What do you think of a flag with a white ground and a tree in the middle, the motto 'AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN' - this is the flag of our floating batteries."
 
Perhaps as we choose our colonial flags, such as "Don't Tread on Me" or "Unite or Die" to represent our arguments for freedom from Obama-care and "Stimulus" packages we should remember the "Appeal to Heaven" as a symbol and as a practice in our efforts to retain the freedoms of this previously-blessed and still-to-be-blessed nation.
