Talk Wisdom has an interesting post up about Glenn Beck's show and ACORN.

The ACORN Eight Story & More [Breaking News!]
I have fast become a great fan of Glenn Beck's T.V. show on the Fox News Channel. How refreshing it is to see this man have the freedom of speech rights as a news analyst (who is also very funny and entertaining, I might add) to discuss the things that many Americans want to hear about - but is either being muzzled or ignored by the rest of the Lamestream Media pundits.
Beck's shows are power-packed with information that the rest of the media refuses to report. I record it each day so that I don't miss one show. It also helps to be able to rewind and view again when blogging about an issue!
Today's show [Nice Deb has the videos!]
is one that must not be missed! Glenn will have seven of the eight former ACORN board members who, up until now, have not been given any platform to tell their stories about their former involvement with ACORN. During Glenn's show, we will get the inside story (that others don't seem to want to touch with a ten foot pole!) and they will have the chance to express their opinions, concerns, and reasons why they believe that this organization has been highly corrupted.
Yesterday, Kevin Mooney of the Washington Examiner was a guest on Glenn's show. He reiterated the fact that ACORN has nefarious ties to SEIU. Mooney also reported that after his story came out in the newspaper, the SEIU took down their online link to ACORN. Hmmm....
Glenn is right! There is MUCH MORE CORRUPTION going on with these groups than has already been revealed by the lawsuits against ACORN in twelve states for voter registration fraud.. And, the fact that Obama was once a prominent "community organizer" involved with ACORN for years, it will be interesting to see what the former ACORN employees have to say about the time when ACORN changed from being a good organization into its current highly corrupted management....Continue Reading
Thanks go to AustraliaTo for putting up my latest article.
A Wink & Nod to Torture
Will Spain Genuflect to Obama’s Misdirection?
Recently, I wrote an article concerning the Democratic left’s (Obama & Harold Koh) misguided infatuation with transnationalism, its undermining of American sovereignty and how transnationalism vis-à-vis unforeseen international actions/prejudices could jeopardize Obama’s precarious hold on the Presidency. I basically warned Mr. Obama that he should be careful what he wished for because he might just get it. Now, the transnational view from the Oval Office reveals more thunder clouds gathering several hundred miles behind the Azores in Spain.
In the Obama Transnational Irony, I recounted…a news article that indicated that “Criminal proceedings have begun in Spain against six senior officials in the Bush administration for the use of torture against detainees in Guantánamo Bay.“...Continue Reading

Gun owners pack meeting
By Dante Petri | Peninsula Clarion
It should come as no surprise that when guns are on the table in this community, the room doesn't empty, but fills.
That was the case Tuesday night at the Soldotna Sports Center, where guns might not have literally been on any tables, but they certainly were up for discussion.
More than 200 people packed into the meeting room for the Second Amendment Task Force meeting, an event locally spearheaded by Bob Bird, of Nikiski, a Nikiski Middle-High School social studies teacher, and most recently a candidate for U.S. Senate.
Bird explained to the crowd early on that the assembly was not politically based, saying, "This is not the National Rifle Association, this is not the Gun Owners of America, this is not a political party."
"We're here because we sense that our right to keep and bear arms is being threatened," he said....
...They've also pushed for the passage of the Alaska Firearms Freedom Act, HB186, that exempts from any federal regulation a firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition that's manufactured in the state, as long as it remains in the state.
Cox explained that the commerce clause is the only way the federal government can regulate guns and this would exempt them....
