Big Win In Staten Island For ACORN Working Families Party and Peace Action
by Andrew MarcusThe radical left took a couple of hits on the chin yesterday, losing two significant governorships in Virgina and New Jersey. Add to this the embarrassing outing of one of their WFP endorsed RINO’s in NY-23, and this was not a banner cycle for the President Obama’s ACORN movement.
The Democratic Socialists and Marxists did score one important win in Staten Island yesterday, with the election of their WFP candidate for City Council, Debi Rose.
This is the same Debi Rose who recently exercised her 5th amendment right to avoid incriminating herself in an ACORN-WFP campaign finance related scandal.
There are two reasons this very local election is important beyond Staten Island.
1) Debi Rose’s campaign manager was a man by the name of David Jones. According to Weather Underground reporter Thomas Good, who runs a website called Antiauthoritarian.net, David Jones is a member of a group called Peace Action.
Peace Action has a working relationship with CAIR, unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy-Land Foundation trial.
Spend any amount of time on antiauthoritarian.net and you will experience the crossroads of Weather Underground style Marxism, antisemitism masked as anti-Israelism, and the Democrat Party, as seen through the lens and mind of a self proclaimed anarchist, Thomas Good.
This group of hard core Socialists, Marxists, Anarchists, and Democrats must be very pleased that they scored this win in Staten Island.
2) Debi’s race may be just for a local seat on a city council, but one only need to look to Detroit to witness the long term effect of Democratic Socialism on a local level.
All you need to do is peruse the archive of the Detroit DSA, and scan for all of the prominent members of the Democrat Party who are also prominent members of the Democratic Socialists of America. Read about their successes in passing their agenda during a period of epidemic indifference to local politics.
From their archive [emphasis in red added]:
Detroit DSA’s goal is to rid the White House of George Bush. On its face, this would seem a preposterous undertaking for such a small local as ours. Yet there are ways in which we can intelligently leverage the resources of our local to have a significant impact on the coming elections. Our strategy is to focus our efforts in carefully selected districts where the activity of a small group such as ours could both increase the anti-Bush turnout and elect a progressive local candidate.
Let’s start with the primary elections. Due to the low voter turnout for these races, primary campaigns are traditionally the elections in which small, well-organized groups can have a disproportionate impact.
Detroit is a dead city, thanks in large part to the successful efforts of the Democratic Socialists of America, and a cynically apathetic body politic.
Which DSA city or state will be next to die on the alter of Socialism? Staten Island? Chicago?
Congratulations Staten Island. That’s some city council you’re building for yourselves there.
Correction: This story has been edited. The title originally read Rhode Island. The correct city is Staten Island.

Detroit is pollutted. This news source gets the word out. Keep it up. The monts before the 2008 election and now have exposed a lot of tyrany and socialism.
Congratulations Rhode Island. That’s some city council you’re building for yourselves there.
Think Cynthia McKinney's long run in Congress, sorry, but, we will sadly always have to make accommodation for America's pockets of willful ignorance. That's the reality.
I'm confused. Is this Staten Island or Rhode Island?
Maybe this is why Nancy Pelosi was so excited. I couldn't find anything else that would have her so animated.
I think you are right, and it is Staten Island.
Follow the lawsuit against Ms Rose, it should be interesting. And, does anyone but me think that, the above pictured, Thomas Good looks like he could be Wade Rathke's twin? lol
That's the RI state flag.
This is the Rhode Island, the one founded on extreme religious freedom, as in the unheard-of-at-the-time act of willingly letting even Jews live there unrestricted?
Well, if they are willing to abandon the principles this country was founded on, guess including those of their state as well is not that great of a stretch.

Leeta, that was going to be one of my comments, too. Do Socialists share the same DNA or gene pool.? It's like they still have that teen-age acne appearance and haven't grown out of it.
The fact is: These SCABs were able to amplify or leverage their local influence on a National level…ok for that, even tho' I hate their policies…SOOO: we can do the same thing, right? And, if we keep writing our officials with our complaints, and the threat of removing and replacing them should work and has worked to a degree right now. I think the priority is to get rid of the czar positions and the "man-child's" parallel govt system.
Any win for this bunch of renegades. Anything whatsover that strengthens these derelicts, must not be tolerated.
None I repeat none should be allowed to reside in this country. Some third world jungle comes straight to mind.
Its hard to believe the people that voted for this women can believe she can make there lives better, how come
all the really failed areas of the US keep voting for people like this, it makes no sense to me.
Definitely inbreeding going on there. I thought it was one of the Rathke's when I first saw it too.
Don't dis the 5th Amendment. We'll all need it sooner or later.
Ominous and witty.
Me too!

I see the text has been fixed from Rhode Island to Staten Island but the RI flag picture probably should be removed (don't want to unnecessarily cast a bad light on RI). Thanks!
Since when it is up to commies to decide elections in America?
In SE Los Angleles County there are small cities mainly inhabiited by illegal aliens and their kids– Huntington Park, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Southgate, & Maywood. Few people can vote and feweer are interested in voiting. Frontmen for Mexican Narco take over these small cities. Other non narcos have taken over the city to loot the treasury. Mexicans crave money and power, they are not leftist stooges looking to bring down the government.
I live on Staten Island. We have 2 Conservatives on the council, both re-elected on Tues. Our Borough Pres (3rd term win Tuesday) is the only Conservative to have been elected in over 100 years. Debi Rose won her council seat in the only democrat district on the North Shore of Staten Island. For the most part, our Island is a very conservative Borough, especially for NY. Hopefully, Staten Island will remain 3/4 conservative for a very long time. Best to all, JB
Long Island is an island located in southeastern New York, United States, just east of Manhattan, RHODE ISLAND is a state in the New England region of the United States. It is the smallest U.S. state by area. Rhode Island borders Connecticut to the west, Massachusetts to the north and east, So please repalce my state's flag with something else for it has nothing to do with Long Island …….
Funny, they still hate Bush even after adopting all of his programs, the sooner the Republican party distances itself from the Socialist Bush the better, Bush literally lowered the bar for everything, particularly home loans.
Its pretty entertaining seeing the apoplectic left embrace Bush's Socialist policies and STILL MAINTAIN THE HATE.
The divide between "the sheep and the goats" becomes more and more evident. Our only hope is for some of the blinded people in this country to regain their sight. Maybe Tuesday was some evidence of that, as apparently a few of those who voted for hope and change backed off from the direction they took last November.
Has anybody thought deeply about the consequences of another illegal immigrant amnesty? Let's forget for the moment that suddenly 20 to 30 million people are going to be legalized? That Sanctuary states like California, New Mexico have been financially ridden hard into the ground, because illegal workers and their families are feeding at a gold mine at the taxpayer expense. Let’s not mention that since the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli bill, those made legal, was able to bring into the United States their extended family members. That although they signed an affidavit to support those, many ended up at the taxpayer’s expense. So let's ignore the expenditures to educate, free health care treatment and all the rest of hidden costs of subsidizing a large portion of the US population. The fact that the businesses that draw them here, from every corner of the world–PAYS NOTHING TOWARDS THEIR UPKEEP. IT'S FREE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES FOR PARIAH BUSINESS, BETTER KNOWN AS CORPORATE WELFARE? Every one of the Democratic leadership have used their influence to weaken E-Verify, county police fed program 287 (g) and ICE raids on businesses.
So president Obama bypasses the masses the hard pressed American, who have entreated him–NO BLANKET AMNESTY! No path to citizenship! So the millions already here get a free ride to your pensions, social security, public option health care welfare. Who in the world is going to pay for all these legalized individual, followed by the onslaught of millions more looking for free health care? NOW HERE COMES THE FIRESTORM! Have we taken leave of our senses, to think for one moment that another amnesty which is in the works? That a single layer fence is going to hold back millions upon millions more people will–COME? This will not be small meandering lines of illegal aliens, crossing the border during the hours of darkness? This is going to be an unimaginably rush at a defenseless 9.000 border patrol agents, that is–Expected?–to hold at bay those who reach our border? Not even the National Guard and regular GI's could stop the wave upon wave? They will sweep in from El-Salvador, Columbia, Guatemala, Peru, Chile and of course Mexico. They will arrive from Canada, Ireland, Poland and Romania by plane clutching a tourist visa.
Every corner of the world will hear the resounding trumpet call of Osama’s AMNESTY. Chinese immigrants with tourist visas will fly into Mexico City and perhaps terrorists smuggled in by M 13 gang members? Not just the poor, but the sick, mentally handicapped along with criminals, absconding from the arm of the law across this planet. NOW THE MOST URGENT QUESTION IS? WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THIS? We are already swallowing the massive funding for Iraq and Afghanistan. We cannot even find jobs for hapless 15 million American workers, who (if true) are joining day-laborers at Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowe's parking lots? So who is going to house, feed and pay-out–more strained US taxpayer money? Perhaps we should send families of illegal aliens to squat in Sen. Harry Reid's gated home in Nevada. Send another crowd to live in House Speakers Nancy Pelosi's grape plantations in Central California. How about Chuck Schumer, HS Chief Janet Napolitano, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Gil Cedillo leaving their house key under the mat, for some large family from Indonesia, India to find?
Let's give them free bus fare to each and every politician with a lousy immigration grading, such as Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) or the whole Sacramento Liberal Marxist assembly, who have sold bona-fide legal Angelino’s into state insolvency? Why not have them live-in at every ACLU office and their communist lawyers so they could feed them. Every pro-illegal immigrant Chamber of Commerce member could open a spare room and settle some family members, until more brothers and sisters could be sponsored and join them. The Catholic Church and other religious groups could welcome them at the church doors and distribute money from the plate? The minority of Evangelicals churches could open up the rectory, accommodating hundreds of cots from the tired and poverty stricken. All the anti-sovereignty lawmakers should have plenty of room in their Virginia mansions, their custom ranches for large numbers of impoverished families. Even the President has that large White structure–could exhibit some kindness to homeless families and FEMA could establish a tent city in the grounds? Any of the House and Senate who compromised illegal immigration enforcement, should announce their address for resettlement of people who just run the gauntlet at the under funded border fence.
Let's face it these people who call us names such as xenophobes bigots and worse, adding ugly cuss words to their vocabulary should also open their doors to anybody who enters America illegally. Microsoft multi-billionaire Bill Gates and the thousands of businesses that don't incur a darn cent should bring these family members together in their giant homes. Corporate owners who have colluded with State governors, Mayors, Judges and other lower echelon officials, should participate with a welcome mat. Perhaps American workers should obtain a hard copy list of every unpatriotic American and give illegal matriarch a page of addresses for their extended illegal families? We have San Francisco’s mayor Galvin Newsom and Los Angeles Antonio R.Villaraigosa and all the other–SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES who have completely ignore federal laws, can also give refuge in their abodes to incorrigible
gang members who have killed without conscience, illiterate drunk laborers who have slaughtered families on our streets, because they could comprehend English warning signs.
Then just picture the traffic chaos in every corner of America, unless you live in an isolated ranch in the Mohave Desert, in California. We think we have road rage now, but give it a few weeks after unfettered AMNESTY. I even have a better idea. Open America’s doors completely? No Ellis Island, Galveston Island. No documents, no inspections. NO NOTHING. Give everybody a bus ticket of their choosing, to where they wish to go? See how long the open border zealots put up with that progressive rush to overpopulation. IF you have changes of heart give a tongue-lashing to your legislators at 202-224-3121 in Washington. Learn the financial services in billions of dollars to foreign nationals at NUMBERSUSA,. Hidden corruption that has finally been uncovered, at JUDICIAL WATCH? What the US Census has to say about the POPULATION GROWTH in the future of our children at CAPSWEB? Our population will escalate from 255 million to 383 million by the year to 2050? The next 100 million will suffocate our ability to maintain water, energy, food, communication, infrastructure and a balanced environment.

Waa, Waa, Waa, it's Bush's fault, it's Bush's fault.
I wish someone would make a national laughing stock of the whining Obamabots, already!
There needs to be a Income Tax Revolution in the US. If every citizen would refuse to file an income tax return and quit paying into it like the Democrats at Washington are doing, we might be able to put a stop to this mess. They can't put all of us in jail…where would they put us and how would they feed us? As long as Americans sit back and gripe and complain and do nothing, the marxist president and his minions will continue to erode our Constitution and make fools out of us. Yes, they are making fools out of us. They are going to continue to ram their liberal "One-World Global Government" mess down our throat. And remember if they prosecute us for non-payment of taxes, they will have to prosecute the crooks in Obama's administration. Lets see if we can talk this up and I am not kidding.
If these guys can't even report the state or city right. Using a flag of RI(state) when they have nothing to do with it shows the writers lack of education.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with extra information? It is extremely helpful for me.
