‘Community Organizing’ Properly Understood: Political Organized Crime

Posted on | September 2, 2011

There are two ways to get money: Honestly by hard work, or dishonestly through thievery and fraud. If you vote for politicians because they promise to give you money taken from taxpayers, you are practicing the politics of thievery.

We call it “corruption” or “bribery” when businesses give money to politicians in return for their support of legislative favoritism, but we call it “social justice” when Democrats promote programs that give money to voters who support Democrats:

Why are left-wing activist groups so keen on registering the poor to vote?
Because they know the poor can be counted on to vote themselves more benefits by electing redistributionist politicians. Welfare recipients are particularly open to demagoguery and bribery.
Registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country — which is precisely why Barack Obama zealously supports registering welfare recipients to vote.

That startling passage by my buddy Matthew Vadum in The American Thinker has provoked head-exploding outrage from liberals, who are sure what he has written is evil, although they cannot deny it is true.

Vadum is the nation’s leading authority on ACORN, the Alinsky-inspired group that helped advance the career of our Community Organizer in Chief. His book is Subversion, Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.
