Why do you think young people are increasingly engaging in “adult” behaviors like sex and drinking? How big of a problem is this?
It is a great problem. Our children do not know how to care for themselves. They are bored, unchallenged, lack ambition and integrity. Young people should have to work for a higher education not to be given grants and loans. Young people should have to work from the age of 13 at an afternoon job or chores around the house. They need to be taught values and how to earn their life. What is given is of little value, what is earned is of great value.

What is ACORN?
Who is ACORN?
I first heard of ACORN during audits of lending policies and practices between two merged banks. I learned that ACORN was similar to CRA, (Community Re-investment Act), a Congress mandated regulation between banks and communities to re-invest profits back into the communities where the banks operated. It was to help good customers, living in depressed areas, obtain favorable loans to rehabilitate their homes and small businesses.
ACORN is described as: ACORN Housing provides mortgage loan counseling, first-time home buyer classes, and helps clients obtain affordable mortgages through unique lending partnerships. They even set up their own lending institution as a non-profit mortgage brokerage with CitiMortgage, Bank of America, First American Title Insurance Company, and Fannie Mae to help low- and moderate-income families find safe, affordable mortgages.
So when I heard about ACORN and voter fraud, I was a bit confused. Why would a mortgage broker be involved with voter registration? Remember no good deed goes unpunished. Of course this early example of wealth re-distribution would have a liberal foundation and why not take advantage of your benevolent presence in the community by signing up voters to support the party that took all the credit for these low-income programs? Yes, the Dems. What other party does more to take so much from the middle class and give so little to the poor and lazy?
Yes, ACORN now receives large sums of money from the taxpayers, thanks to O'bama, Pelosi, Franks, Reid, Dodd, etc, to operate bipartisan (Ha Ha, you mean democrat) voter registration organizations. They even tried to include this bunch of crooks in the $700 billion bailout until John McCain stood up for the House Republicans. Lord help this country when O'bama, Pelosi and Reid are in charge. And just think of the liberal judges they will appoint to the Supreme Court in 8 long years, or longer if you listen closely to what O'bama says.

How did Palin do?
How did Palin do? She was great on presentation and she held her own on content. However, you cannot expect a first term Governor to be able to throw out the well-orchestrated misleading inaccuracies of a 35-year Congressman like Joe Biden. She sounded fresh, home spun and honest. But to special interests and all the pseudo elite intellectuals she will remain ‘White Trash’.
I cannot see how John McCain will be able to pull this election off; given the level that greed has permeated into our culture. We the people are gladly accepting the blame of the Bush Administration and the Republicans in lieu of all the documented proof that it should be attributed to the mortgage welfare programs of Fannie, Freddie and Acorn supported by the Democrats. Palin nailed it when she said that we the people own a bit of the blame with our ... “Buy now pay later with imaginary equity money”.
We are headed for very hard times. Prepare yourselves for high unemployment, high inflation, and no money to fund economic, educational, or health care welfare.
Check out this weeks Charles Krauthammer Washington Post article, "Hail Mary vs Cool Barry".
