Ritchie’s ACORN Stance: Insanity Defined

DFL Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has stated that in Minnesota, ACORN doesn’t engage in voter fraud. That’s the definition of insanity. To wit: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Here’s what the Wall Street Journal wrote on ACORN:

In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN’s practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier.

At least in Nevada, where another Democrat is the secretary of state, they have someone who’s not afraid to take on ACORN for their illegal voter registration violations. Here’s an excerpt on the Nevada ACORN raid, from Fox News:

“Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications,” Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

“Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won’t be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4,” Miller said.

That’s hardly all. In 2006, ACORN was investigated for voter registration fraud in Washington state, and out of 1,800 registrations, only six — SIX! — were genuine registrations.

So, yeah, we’re supposed to believe Minnesota is the only state in which ACORN operates above-board? I want home theater seating to that asylum commitment hearing!

Consensus by committee? A communist tactic!

Former Vice-President and self-appointed expert on climate change, global warming conspiracy theorist and propagandist Algore has long touted the authority of his “global warming committee” that “finally has agreed there is a consensus that global warming is no longer a theory. It is established scientific fact.”

Of course, that’s bunk. But it took a real scientist from a completely different field of study to put the reason it’s bunk into the best wording possible.

At the recent Jerusalem Forgery Conference, speaking about alleged forgeries “unmasked” by Yuval Goren of Tel Aviv University, in which he has ultimately come to claim that perhaps as many as one-third of biblical artifacts with early inscriptions are modern forgeries, and has had his views backed up by a committee hand-selected to agree with him, received a verbal spanking from Gabriel Barkay.

Gabriel Barkay is a professor of Biblical archeology at Bar Ilan University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His academic areas of interest include the archeology of Jerusalem, burials and burial customs, and art, epigraphy, and glyptics in the Iron Age.

This is Barkay’s words on the validity of “committees” in establishing scientific truth. Cozy up in your home theater seating, because this one’s GREAT:

“If a committee made up of the most important experts in the world decides that the earth is flat, it is not going to make the earth flat,” Barkay told the assembled scholars. “Committees, I think, are good for communist regimes. They establish a view that has to be accepted by all, but they are not for scientific methods.”

Exactly. Words Algore and all his Algorian disciples are probably biologically incapable of grasping. For the rest of us, though, we should pay attention and guard against the global warming propaganda. The jury is anything BUT in!
