Guess what the White House served at the annual Christmas party?
Any fan of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street knows that “C” is for cookie.
But at the Obama White House, “A” may be for acorn — as in acorn cookies served at Monday’s annual Christmas party.
The chocolate cookies shaped like an acorn were quite a hit with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.
“I didn’t expect to see such stark symbolism,” King said in an e-mail.
President Obama worked with the community organizing group ACORN in the mid-90s. But now ACORN faces a host of allegations related to voter fraud in the 2008 election and has been weakened by an undercover expose that shows employees offering tax advice to a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.
Rep. King called it audacity… but it’s really brainwashing. They shove it in your face until you’re used to it, accepting of it.
Then they fund it. ACORN, which supposedly lost all government monies after the scandal broke, has been given the opportunity to burn through more taxpayer dollars. By Democrats, of course.
Rep. John Boehner at Big Government:
Last night, defying the will of a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate, Democrats voted to allow the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to receive federal taxpayer dollars.
Last night, defying the will of a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate, Democrats voted to allow the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to receive federal taxpayer dollars.
In September, large Congressional majorities in both houses voted to sever all ties between the federal government and ACORN. The Senate vote was 85-11; the House vote was 345-75. You’d think that those votes, which USA Today described as prohibiting “any federal funding for the community organizing group,” would have settled the matter. You’d be wrong.
Months later, with the country’s focus on jobs, healthcare, and the Global War on Terror, Democrats are moving to restore funding to ACORN. Last night, Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) offered an amendment during deliberations on the Democrats’ massive year-end appropriations bill to clarify the prohibition on federal funds going to ACORN or its subsidiaries. That amendment was shot down on a 5-9 party line vote as Republicans sided with taxpayers while Democrats stood with ACORN.
Rep. Latham’s amendment is necessary to prevent taxpayer money from going to ACORN because the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice has taken advantage of a legal loophole to allow ACORN to continue to receive federal funds – despite the passage of the House GOP’s Defund ACORN Act in the fall.
Rep. Boehner references this chart, which details what funds ACORN has gotten from the government since 1994.
“An analysis of federal data by the Office of the Republican Leader staff determined that ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct funding from the federal government since 1994, and has likely received substantially more indirectly through states and localities that receive federal block grants.”
That’s enough.
So, to recap: Democrats lie, cheat, steal and then… shove it in your face. What are you going to do, America?

Time to make ‘em all walk the plank…

Is it just me…or do those cookies look like pressed shit….

Well, Mrs. Who, they are being fed to Democrats.
As for what I’m going to do, I’m going to support the most conservative Republican in the Primaries and then, no matter what, vote the straight Republican ticket in the general. Oh, and no everything I can to see that, in places like Michigan last election, Democrats can’t come over, choose our nominee and then vote Donk in November. That is how we ended up with grumpy old McCain.
Oh, and load up some more ammo, just in case.

That’s what I’m going to do as well.
One of my fears is that Palin will run on a third party ticket and screw us.

My father always said “vote the thinking man’s ticket – straight Republican”. Of course these days my feelings on that would probably curl his hair.

My parents never talked about politics – at all. I had to figure it out all on my own… which is probably why I voted for jimmy carter the first time out…

Those cookies look like pressed shit from the party that has us feeling like hammered dogshit. How appropriate.
