A-corny

Glenn Greenwald puts it in perspective.
"Claiming you're worried about large government and taxpayer waste while fixating on ACORN proves the insincerity of the ostensible concern, let alone doing so while cheering on the same Wall Street banks, defense contractors, and insurance industries that control and expand government power for their own benefit."

For those of us who have been truly concerned for years about government expansion, the current conservative movement is a waste of time. As the rhetoric increases, real discussion on this and many issues slips away. Like a dull hum from a street lamp against the roar of traffic below, so goes the conversation.

There are voices, left and right of issues worth listening to. Becoming harder to find though just as it is to remain thoughtful myself.
