Funny, in reality, all the fake registrations were turned in and reported as fake to the election boards, as required by law. Laws that were established because republicans had a habit of disenfranchising large groups of people.
Oh wait, reality has a liberal bias, so I guess you can just make up your own reality where Acorn is like SPECTRE and run with it.

Wasted Post. His Reality Deflectors are at full power and his Phasers on Stunned.

Danube,
Do you have the ability to post things that aren't alarmist, wacky, and really downright insane? Have you been evaluated by a psychiatrist? I think you should be as more and more when you post it's become apparant that you are seriously in need of psychological help. You have paranoia issues, rage issues, and seem to have largely lost touch with reality.

Insane or unsane people think sane people are crazy. Anyone in touch with reality can see Obama is a disaster. He manipulates and lies at every opportunity. Lie loving people think he's fabby and resent anyone who disturbs their psychotic shell.

Hey ACORN has a long list of convictions while there are no convictions of Republicans disenfranchising voters despite efforts to do just that.

Bill Clinton and Gore tried blocking military votes (so when Dems turned on military in public in 2005 and wished for defeats to get at Bush it was no surprise).

ACORN was founded by Wade Rathke a fan of the Cloward Piven strategy to orchestrate managed chaos which is all ACORN is. ACORNS was/is the Dems monkey army like in the Wizard of OZ. No rational person really can defend ACORN which is why they are trying to regroup under another name

From WND (better than the NY Slimes)


"Obamacare's control plan? 'Behavior modification'
Expert opinion: 'Ultimately everything will be governed by federal authorities"


The online Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders says "behavior modification," a controversial psychological treatment, can be accomplished through positive reinforcement or "punishment," and now President Obama has signed an executive order specifying the treatment for American citizens whose health may not be what he wants.

Obama's order appoints members to a new government committee set up by the Democrats' new health law that will evaluate, make recommendations about and establish rules for everything from how people exercise to whether they smoke to the food they eat and the medicines they use.

It also specifically requires that the committee list the priorities for "lifestyle behavior modification" that the government will pursue.

The encyclopedia report described "punishment" as "the application of an aversive or unpleasant stimulus in reaction to a particular behavior." Two experts who reviewed the president's June 10 executive order establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council said the plan easily could encompass exactly that.

Herb Titus, a constitutional expert who also has handled cases regarding vitamin supplements and natural foods, told WND Obama's executive order was copied almost verbatim from the text of Obamacare.



He said, "The council is designed to basically implement future policy that ultimately everything will be governed by federal authorities, from food to dietary supplements to vitamins."

Deborah Stockton, executive director of the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association, which deals regularly with natural foods such as raw milk, agreed with the Titus analysis.

"They say, 'We're going to centralize power and control. We're going to be in control,'" she told WND.

"It's [going to be] another epic confrontation between those who will and those who won't," she said

The council's membership, including the chiefs of the Agriculture, Labor, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Education and Homeland Security departments as well as the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Trade Commission, National Drug Control Police, Domestic Policy Council, Corporation for National and Community Service and others, also is alarming, Titus noted.

Most of those positions have no qualifications for making decisions about health care, so what would be their involvement, wondered Titus.

Could it be that non-compliance will bring down the wrath of those agencies?

"It'll be criminalized … if you don't follow federal guidelines on nutrition, exercise," he said. "That's what this is designed to do. Ultimately bring everything under the federal umbrella. The only way they can accomplish that is through force.

"Ultimately that's where it's headed," Titus said. "This is what people have been warning about. Here you have it."

The executive order requires the council to "provide coordination … with respect to prevention, wellness, and health promotion practices, the public health system, and integrative health care in the United States."

It further must develop a "health-care strategy that incorporates the most effective and achievable means of improving the health status of Americans" and also must "carry out such other activities as are determined appropriate by the president."

It will "set specific goals and objectives for improving the health of the United States" and "establish specific and measurable actions and timelines to carry out the strategy."

"Citizen, stop and show your papers and certify under oath you have properly exercised and ingested the proper amount of nutrition today!" scoffed one blogger.

The council then will have to report to the president on what it has done, what progress has been made and provide a "list of national priorities on health promotion and disease prevention to address lifestyle behavior modification (including smoking cessation, proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, mental health, behavioral health, substance-use disorder, and domestic violence screenings) and the prevention measures."

That paragraph alone raised eyebrows for those wondering what the government would do to demand "lifestyle behavior modification." It also raised concerns over its reference to "domestic violence screenings" as well as "mental health."

The order also targets most of the products that are promoted as natural supplements or remedies, demanding that all "prevention programs" be based on the "science" guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, virtually eliminating anything that is not put through the multi-million dollar tests required of the federal agency.

Asked a blogger at Techimo.com, "Is this something we need to worry about? Is (sic) Obama and his 'advisers' attempting to modify our behavior through legislation?"

"It's a done deal," said Titus.

Sedentary Lifestyle and Behavior Modification are medical terms. Not mind control, conspiracy, or trying to take freedoms :rolleyes:. Nothing wrong with getting as many hands as possible in trying to deal with health realted issues in this country.

Man this place is full of paranoid loonies.


http://www.minddisorders.com/A-Br/Behavior-modification.html

Behavior modification is used to treat a variety of problems in both adults and children. Behavior modification has been successfully used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), phobias, enuresis (bed-wetting), generalized anxiety disorder , and separation anxiety disorder , among others.

Sedentary lifestyle is a medical term used to denote a type of lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity.[1] A person who lives a sedentary lifestyle may colloquially be known as a couch potato.

Holy hell, the conspiracy tinfoil hat loons are out in full force.

the words "criminalized, demand, punishment, the quote from a 'blogger', raises eyebrows, virtually eliminating," so how thorough of a strawman that pathetic article is.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

One of the purposes is addressing the sedentary behavior of Americans. What a shocking case of Obama's goal to mind control Americans.........

Danube, you continue to amaze me with the ability to type coherent English considering the complete vacuum of logic and intelligence in any of your posts.

WE should all go out and play more golf and work less. That seems to be his method.
Fuck a bunch of government officials telling us how to run our lives. If we want to be fat and lazy then be it.

seems like this could lead to a way to control what people do because the government will be paying for their health care in the future.
