On Wednesday, I said prepare for lawlessness as ACORN’s civil disobedience mob steps up pressure for President Obama’s mortgage entitlement expansion.
Well, are you ready, Baltimore? (Hat tip - Jeff Quinton) ACORN’s troops are breaking the padlocks and breaking into homes. And this is just the start. Caution: OBAMACORN at work.
A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience.
The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.
Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy.
Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story.
“The mortgage went up $300 in one month,” said Hanks, former homeowner.
She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September.
The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending.
“This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN.
And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months.

Bullshit is what it is. That's not civil disobedience, it's criminal intent. Of course her mortgage went up $300 in one month. She had one of those interest only loans and had she read the fine print before she signed the fucking papers (all 27 of them), she would have seen that after her initial 5 year period, the mortgage was going to double. It's not predatory lending practices, it's stupidity. As I've said before, you're not buying a fucking television. You're buying a home that costs thousands of dollars. Do the fucking research! Ask questions. Interest only loans were originally for people who were renovating and flipping houses so that the bulk of their money could stay in their pocket and go toward materials to fix up the house. Because they were only going to have the house for a short time (weeks or months), interest only loans made sense. Banks began giving them out to low income people to make the numbers work because they had been bullied into giving mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. One pice of advice that my father gave me and I have passed on to my kids: never sign any document without reading it. If you don't understand what's written, don't be afraid to ask questions or have someone more experienced read it for you and answer your questions. ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT.
phthaloblu my friend ole Gaius need to buy you a drink. I don't want these liberals to drive you to have a heart attack, LOL!
No chance of that! ;-) I'm gonna be one of those stubborn old ladies who never dies. lol! Just me and my tequila.
The thing is, I'm sure they *did* read the fine print, but with the mindset of, "Well, I'm sure that my income is going to rise at the same rate as my payments, so by the time this payment doubles, I'll be able to afford it, no problem. I mean, by that time, I'll have finished my Master's in Art History, therefore guaranteeing me that swank 250k/year job I know I'm entitled to! In fact, by that time, I'll probably have moved into my new estate in the Hamptons, because dammit, I *deserve* it for being so pretty and smart!"

Why are you so insensitive?
Don't you think that the SOCIAL JUSTICE that binds us all together as a nation would have you to see that to THROW A FAMILY OUT OF A HOUSE which is going to sit vacant while they sleep on the street is an INSULT to human dignity and consciousness?
How dare you!!
Did you lose your heart and the election?
This is why the Americans purged "Your Kind" from office!
We all are socialists now!
If it is in our collective interests to shut down evil voices like YOU who seek to thwart our imposition of the people's BEST INTERESTS...we will shut you down because the ends justify the means.
//END OF FEIGNED LIBERAL REBUTTAL
Well if you're buying drinks for people with heart conditions ... my chest suddenly feels tight ...
