ACORN inner-office manual exposed

SOURCE: HOT AIR: BIG APPLE, BIG PIMPING

To start this, we are publishing an internal quasi-employee manual Big Government has obtained. Given to all ACORN employees, it isn’t your normal manual. It doesn’t discuss things like sick leave or vacation time, but, rather, as the title states, the “Principles and Foundations of ACORN.” How an organization communicates with the public is important. How it communicates to its own employees, however, provides a richer understanding of an organization’s nature.
The whole thing is worth a read. I draw your attention to just one sentence (ACORN emphasizes it with italics):
"ACORN’s lifeblood is conflicts with targets outside the organization."
Think about that.

ACORN’s lifeblood isn’t empowering disadvantaged communities nor lifting people out of poverty. It isn’t concerned about increasing economic growth to improve the lives of its members. It’s lifeblood is conflict. Conflict with targets. It actually thinks of the world outside itself as targets.

———————————-
This is a close to a mob manual as you can make! They should retitle the sections as follows:
____Section 1: Exploit the vulnerable. (ACORN “must” bring new membership each month)
__Section 2: Exploit the poor for your wealth. (You’ve got to get good at bringing in money so you can have the wealth you deserve)
__Section 3: Don’t get Caught. (Coordinated autonomy allows the top to deny any wrongdoing in what its subsidiaries do.)
__Section 4: Include everyone [even prostitutes] (A multi-issue organization with “diverse” members)
__Section 5: Act… Or Else! (They speak of cardiac arrest. What methods do they use as the analagous defribillator?)
__Section 6: Act like a leader, even if you can’t. (Most of our members have no leadership experience)
__Section 7: ACORN now owns your life. (Not having enough time is no excuse for not working and ensuring others are working)
__Section 8: Lie, Lie, Lie (Every ACORN member must learn to “improvise” when knocking on doors.)
I hope this was an adequate analyzation…
