As the lone conservative voice writing for the otherwise liberal website, “The Progressive Pen,” I rarely see eye to eye with my colleagues. However, sometimes, in the face of great danger, we must all come together for the sake of the country; we now face such a threat.
During the third presidential debate, John McCain issued a grave warning to the world about Acorn, the nonprofit group that McCain warns is “maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.”
McCain explained that the group “is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country.” Yikes! This definitely sounds serious. Surely, a recovering “straight talker” like McCain would not use such strong language unless it was warranted.
I have not checked with the Department of Homeland Security, but I assume that the threat level jumped to orange moments after McCain alerted the nation to Acorn’s massive destructive force.
So what can we do to save the country, and prevent Acorn from “destroying the fabric of democracy”? I ask my liberal colleagues to join me and McCain in calling upon all public figures to fully disclose their ties to the radical democracy-destroying nonprofit group.
To get the ball rolling, we call on Senator McCain — as a mere formality — to fully disclose his ties to Acorn. McCain was, after all, the keynote speaker at an Acorn rally in 2006.
Now, some readers may be confused. Why would an unquestioned patriot like John McCain be palling around with the radical democracy-haters at Acorn? Why would he tell a crowd filled with Acorn members that they were “what makes America special”? McCain told us this group is destroying democracy! Why would McCain associate with such a terrible, terrible organization?
The answer is obvious: McCain delivered the keynote speech at the 2006 Acorn rally in order to infiltrate this extremely dangerous organization.
Indeed, only by going undercover — posing as a senator in favor of increased voter registration — was Senator McCain was able to learn of the group’s real agenda: registering Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other radical liberal cartoon characters, which — if given the chance to vote — would almost certainly “[destroy] the fabric of democracy.”
Thank you, Senator John “Country First” McCain, for selflessly putting aside peripheral concerns like the economy, and making the Acorn threat a central campaign issue.
