As the extreme left takes ever greater control of our capitalist democracy, this from the left-wing activist group Acorn: refuse to leave your foreclosed home, or better yet, move back in if you’ve already left. Acorn is going beyond just encouraging this lawless behavior, they’re actually creating “home defender teams”.

“After you’ve used all your legal options, your last resort is civil disobedience” said Louis Beverly, co-chair of the Baltimore Acorn chapter squatter advocates. I suppose then it’s okay then if I stop paying my federal taxes since it’s clear most of that money is going to be squandered on grotesque socialist whimsy.

Even elected officials are encouraging anarchy- I give you Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio). Ms. Kaptur said “…stay in your homes. If the American people, anybody out there is being foreclosed, don’t leave, because I will tell you what. If you had a smart lawyer like those banks up there on Wall Street can get, they would take you into court and they couldn’t find the mortgage.”

She went on: “So I say to the American people, stay in your homes. You have earned them. And don’t you get out until you get a really good lawyer who can find your mortgage up there on Wall Street. Because, you know what? They won’t be able to find it, and therefore they can’t prove you should be evicted.”

It’s time for even moderate Democrats to realize this isn’t the change you voted for. You thought you were getting a shared embrace, a hand when you’re down, and a new-found hipness, instead we’re all witness to the quick erosion of nearly every fundamental principle this great nation was built on. God help us all.
