When you read the blogs, there’s a lot of talk and fear that our American government is embracing socialism, so I decided to research the topic some more. I highly recommend that you study about Marist-Leninism because it doesn’t take long to learn the basics and you will find that a Marist-Leninist understands that a capitalist society will not embrace communism right off the bat. So they advocate for every generation to do their part to gradually transition into communism. The major transitional state on this roadmap to communism is socialism. But socialism is considered by many, especially Marist-Leninists, to be merely transitional toward communism.

So just pondering in a crazy way, I was curious what our Internet lives would be like under the care of socialism and communism. It didn’t take me long to stumble upon the topic of censorship, which sparked my curiosity because of all the things that Glenn Beck has factually discovered about our FCC Chief Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd. Mainly the documents (especially the The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio) and video that show Lloyd desire to control the media so that it presents view favorable to his way of thinking.

So I stumbled upon A List of Censored Words in Chinese Cyberspace. “It is an open secret that all Chinese Internet hosting services, including wireless and instant messenger services, filter user communication through key word blocking mechanisms. But overly vague and broad Chinese internet laws and the internet police force never made the forbidden words explicit — Not until some Chinese hackers located a document within the installation package of QQ instant messaging software. The file contains over one thousand words, most of them in Chinese, which will be blocked by the service.” (Quoted from the site) If you read the site you will see a more detailed breakdown of the words.

Ok, there were words like fu**, cun*, shi*, motherfu**** on the list, which I agree shouldn’t be  used in polite company, especially in the general Internet sites; but making them illegal? Do we want these words to be illegal?

In America, the new buzzword for Socialism is Progressivism. But in Communist China, their leaders would consider it backwards to revert back to Socialism, democracy world be even worse, and God forbid they actually become a republic where the people are in charge; so these are a few illegal words on the list:

民主|民 democracy|people
民主|民 demorcracy|min
民运|民 demorcratic movement|min
民阵|民 demorcratic frontier|min
民进党|民 demorcratic progressive party|min
民联|民 demorcratic unification|min
民主墙|民 wall of demorcracy|min
民运|运 democratic movement|movement

But most troubling to me is this list. Look at these words on the list that are considered as illegal words to be used, this is very sad. Oh yeah, I want to sign up for this!

Go to the site to read more words and draw your own conclusions. I’m not saying or agreeing that we’ve become socialists. What I am saying is that we are monetizing our debt to a point where I don’t know if we can turn things around, and if we don’t then our nation will one day collapse because this is not sustainable. And if that day were to occur, I believe that our government will be faced with the decision to rule closer toward a strong socialist country or worse. We have legitimate economic issues in this nation—we have time to dig out, but barely. Soon our bad choices will overcome us and then American will see lists like this governing our speech.

People need to learn that monetizing our debt works for the government, but at the expense of the people, and it will strip away our options and rights.

ACORN LEGISLATION THIS WEEK

On Thursday, Republican Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska introduced a bill (click here for details) to cut all funding to the organization called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) due to the scandals that have plagued them in recent days.

This is Senator Johanns’ third bill, the strongest yet; on Monday he sponsored an amendment S.AMDT.2355 (click here for details) to the bill H.R.3288 that banning federal ACORN funds in the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development spending bill, which passed the Senate by an 83-7 vote.

Then on Tuesday he sponsored another amendment, S.AMDT.2394 to H.R.2996 (click here for details) prohibiting federal ACORN money in the Interior and environment appropriations bills, which pass by an 85-11 vote on Thursday. Lawmakers have “answered the call to defend taxpayers against waste, fraud and taxpayer abuse,” Johanns said Thursday. You can read more details here on Senator Johanns’ website.

Also on Thursday over in the House of Representatives they overwhelming voted 345-75-2 to pass a GOP amendment to a student loan bill, the “Defund ACORN Act”, which would completely defund all monies to ACORN. The ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Darrell E. Issa, who is the Republican Representative from California’s 49th district reported that “since 1994, more than $53 million in federal funds have been pumped into ACORN, and under the Obama Administration, ACORN stands to receive a whopping $8.5 billion in stimulus funds.”

House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said Thursday afternoon that “the writing is on the wall for ACORN”. Although Senator Issa technically offered the resolution that was adopted by a majority of the House on Thursday, the language was that of a measure that Senate House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio introduced on Wednesday. In less than 24 hours of submitting his stand-alone bill, Boehner had nailed down 140 co-sponsors. Because Senator Issa has really taken the lead on calling for investigations into ACORN’s scandalous practices, Senator Boehner let his colleague offer the amendment, which was overwhelmingly adopted 85-11.

This bill, if signed into law is a strong measure that cuts off all funding to the organization, its state affiliates and individuals related to the community organizers, a number of whom have been found guilty of committing voter fraud. Boehner, Issa and other leading Republicans attribute the massive support to completely defund ACORN, to a decision made last week by the Census Bureau Director Robert Groves, where he severed ties with ACORN on all Census related matters; they were originally going to have an enormous role in collecting the 2010 National Census data. In the letter sent to ACORN President Maude Hurd on Sept. 11.Groves wrote, “Recent events concerning several local offices of ACORN have added to the worsening negative perceptions of ACORN and its affiliation with our partnership efforts.”

Next Steps

The approved bills will be drafted into final legislation using a conference committee, which is typically a difficult time consuming step that spans months to accomplish. However, if Senator Johanns’ recent bill is approved, this should greatly streamline the process because both houses of Congress will have passed amendments that completely defund ACORN.

Then the last step is to obtain the Presidential signature to have it signed into law; until then funds still are, and will continue to, freely flow into Acorn like nothing ever happened.

“This bill indicates that the writing is on the wall for ACORN,” House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said Thursday afternoon. When asked what the President thinks of these bills halting funding the President’s press secretary Robert Gibbs said, “the President shares the outraged of what he saw on the tapes and I’d leave it at that.”

The reason for this swift bipartisan support is surprisingly not because its ACORN has admitted to numerous voter fraud scandals that successfully pumped thousands upon thousands of illegal votes toward President Obama’s election in key states. Sadly, this was not motivating enough to outrage the public and Congress to move toward action.

No, it took two young journalists, Hannah Giles, 20, and James O’Keefe, 25, armed with only a few bucks in their pocket, a video camera, and loads of true American grit, have probably altered history in an enormous way. Halting $8.5 billion and stopping ACORN’s involvement into the 2010 Census, have immeasurably altered history. Two people and a camera, and they have changed American history by bearing light on these shadowed issues within ACORN.

The huge ACORN scandal broke when a series of four secretly recorded videos aired on Fox News during the past several days. Hannah Giles dressed up like a prostitute, and James O’Keefe portrayed himself as her pimp. They traveled the many coastal cities and visited them to see if they could get assistance to help set them up for an illegal prostitution ring that included trafficking and using under-age girls smuggled in from El Salvador for sex-trade use. In each of the public cases Acorn representatives were recorded assisting them in some way with their illegal plans. Assistance ranged from tax and business advice to hide the true purpose of their operation from authorities, to talking about the possibility of assisting with the smuggling operation.

All four videos were published on BigGovernment.com by Mike Flynn, Editor in Chief, and aired on Fox News. The videos outraged the public and both houses of Congress acted quickly to shut down funding for Acorn.

How Congress Voted

Listed below are the Senators and House Members who voted Yes, to continue funding Acorn despite these videos, or did not vote. I would urge you to write or call your representative and ask them why.

SENATE

The two approved Johanns Amendments in the US Senate (#2355 to H.R. 3288) passed 83-7 and (#2394 to H.R. 2996) passed 85-11; both proposing to halt funding of some federal dollars to ACORN, but not all—the third ammendment proposed by Senator Johanns must pass for all funds to halt.

For each of the two Senate ACORN bills that were voted on this week, here below are the US Senators who did not vote (no vote) and or voted NAY to halt ACORN funds—a NAY means YES, keep funding ACORN. A blank indicates that they voted YEA, so blanks indicate they voted to halt funding to ACORN.
It’s important to note that no Senators were a ‘no vote’ for both of these votes, so they are all on record with an opinion either supporting ACORN with a NAY vote or halting their funds with an YEA vote. Notable ‘no votes’ came from Senator’s John McCain and Lindsey Graham who were at a town hall event at the Citadel in South Carolina, and Kay Bailey Hutchinson was in Texas during Monday’s vote; but they got back in town to get recorded as YEA’s for Thursday’s vote.

US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

The US House of Representatives voted 345-75-2 in agreement to stop Acorn’s funding as well.

This is a much stronger than the Senate bill, it completely bars Acorn from getting any federal funding.

You can see the results of the official US House of Representatives vote by clicking here.

Representatives who voted NAY to halt funding, which means YES to keep funding them are:

Representatives who rode the fence and only voted “Present” rather than Yes or No were:

And those Senators not voting were:
