"You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you."
Eric Hoffer

There are detractors, and then there are enemies. A detractor is generally someone who's knowledge about  rent to own is based on a 20/20 episode. Detractors may be ignorant, but ignorance is curable in all but the most liberal extremists.

One of the most organized and best funded of our enemies is PIRG, the deceptively named 'Public Interest Research Group' who pretends to represent those who "have no voice". In reality, they represent only the extreme left wing of American politics. The group invents issues where none exist. The one consistent theme in every PIRG cause is a desire to convince people how miserable they really are. Based on the groups actions, an appropriate slogan would be..."PIRG, We care because you're too stupid".

As the push for federal Rent to Own legislation heats up, PIRG, the self appointed consumer Gestapo will soon begin it's canned 'anti [fill in the blank]' campaign.

PIRG is careful to send respectable looking lawyers  to testify before congress, but the real engine of the group is thousands of naive college students at campus PIRG's around the country. These students provide PIRG with most of it's funding and free workforce.

Young minds full of mush on campuses all over the country, worshiping at the alter of Ralph Nader happily pound away at keyboards to expose the evil of all things profitable. Never mind that mom and dad's paychecks from those same evil corporations are funding their 4 year all expense paid vacation from reality.

Ralph Nader, the energizer bunny of activism and a man who has never produced anything in his life except a failed presidential bid and a bad hairdo, is the founder of PIRG. Mr. Nader practices the shotgun approach to consumer advocacy "Oppose everything...someone is bound to send you a check".

If you have kids in college, chances are you're "donating" to the very organization that seeks your destruction
It takes a lot of money to save people from themselves. PIRG's primary means of funding comes from so called 'student fees'. A practice closely resembling extortion by which PIRG dues are automatically added to your children's tuition. Millions of dollars are collected, often times without their knowledge, from unsuspecting parents of college students.

Some states (Wisconsin is among them...surprise, surprise) go so far as to require PIRG donations from every college student. They defend their actions by calling it "free speech"?

Some organizations are fighting back. In a recent article for Fox News, Craig Rucker, executive director for the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, estimated that Nader's causes take in somewhere between $10 and $20 million annually from college students, most all of it unwittingly.

...What's remarkable is the blatant, transparent hypocrisy the PIRGS use to defend their tactics. The USPIRG Web site claims that mandatory student fees earmarked for liberal activism are "protected by the First Amendment," and are intended to "foster a marketplace of ideas."

PIRG members and other so-called consumer advocates suffer from an incurable disease that prefers ignorance over education. They will never change. They will never stop. Stay informed
