imagine eating a nice quiet breakfast, perusing this morning's Ft Worth Star Telegram, a McClatchy newspaper, and seeing a full page ad, that virtually smacked me in the face. the ad is located on page 5A of said Star-Telegram. what meds are these people ON, or possibly OFF?
here's the link to the ad (be forewarned it's hard to read):

here is the USCA's website link:

i quit counting the lies after the first sentence.
they're pretty cagey, the site doesn't contain the usual "about us" information which in itself is suspect. however, if you read the third paragraph of their "mission statement", you might get a glimmer of an idea about the funding of this desperately deranged organization.
it occurs to me that this association is desperately trying to fan the flames of fear and encouraging desperate action with these words:
Socialists organize through labor unions, government employee unions, teachers unions, entertainment industry unions, environmental organizations, plaintiff attorney organizations, and political action organizations such as ACORN, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org. They also receive substantial funding from individuals (like George Soros) and have developed very advanced fundraising methods – including Internet.
The liberal socialists have used all of these resources to indoctrinate the public through advertising; promote liberal socialist candidates; file lawsuits for liberal socialist causes; and form grass roots organizations to promote liberal socialist causes.
In contrast, conservative capitalists have shown very poor organization. Conservative talk show hosts do a great job, and they reach 30% of the public, which is a great achievement in 20 years. But that is not enough. There are conservative publications, but they are too few in comparison to liberal publications. We do have some very fine conservative organizations such as the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and Hillsdale College, but they too do not have enough channels to get their information out to the public en masse.
feel like your brain needs a steam clean now?
the press is liberal! unions are bad! government employees' organizations are bad! doesn't mention which unions, doesn't name any particular press organization but, there it is...ACORN, Media Matters, MoveOn and George Soros!
the cato institute, the heritage foundation and hillsdale college don't have the "channels" to get their information out?
i did find this poll to screw with:

so, all liberal socialists, it's official, WE ARE WINNING, so says the US Citizens Association.
i'm certain they'll do very well here in red state territory.
i don't know what the rules are regarding this newspaper's advertising standards, but, i'm sure as hell going to find out.
this diary isn't particularly well written, but i'm dashing it off quickly as i'll be out for a couple of hours and wanted some feedback from other Kossacks. if anyone considers that this isn't a diary and should be removed, i'll do so when i return.
