The "Let My People Go!" Cards

The "Let My People Go!" Cards

Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt land,
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.

That old Negro spiritual has taken on new meaning of late. The “people” have evolved into the New Black Panther Party and public labor unions and the new pharaoh has emerged as the Republican Party.

America’s Attorney General or, more precisely, African-Americans’ Attorney General Eric Holder, became mildly incensed–if incensement can ever be mild–over his department’s handling of the New Black Panther Party’s 2008 Philadelphia voter intimidation case. In a nutshell, Holder’s Department of Justice didn’t handle it at all. Rather they abandoned the cut and dried case.

See “That New Black Panther Party Holds AG Holder in its Spell,” http://tiny.cc/rjnko, and earlier articles that exposed the black racist doings at the DoJ.

Mr. Holder all but lost it during a House Appropriations subcommittee this week when Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) accused Holder’s department of doing what sworn congressional testimony by reputable DoJ attorneys has already substantiated as fact, namely that race trumped justice when it came to prosecuting the New Black Panther Party.

Holder, already on record as denouncing white people as cowards–even before his confirmation as the nation’s principal law enforcement authority–reacted as if it were a personal offense when Culberson read a statement by former Democratic activist Bartle Bull calling the NBPP “incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.”

Instead of responding to the charge, Holder said, ”Think about that. When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia–which was inappropriate, certainly that . . . to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people.”

The AG then babbled on about his sister, and courage, and history and defensively rejected Culberson’s charge of “overwhelming evidence” of “a double [racial] standard” at the DoJ by saying, “I would disagree very vehemently with the notion that there’s overwhelming evidence that that is in fact true. This Department of Justice does not enforce the law in a race-conscious way:” http://tiny.cc/wquk1

Methinks Holder doth protest too much.

First of all, no comparisons were being drawn between the NBPP travesty and the Civil Rights Movement in the South and therefore no “disservice” was implied or intended. Secondly, that “overwhelming” evidence has already been presented to Congress, even if it has been ignored. Third, what’s this “my people” talk?

The Attorney General of the United States is supposed to represent ALL the people, not some people, not just Eric Holder’s “people.” Holder seems to forget or disregard that mandate all too frequently.

On the other hand, Rep. Charles Rangel (D, NY) forgets little or nothing, except when it comes to ethics and ill-gotten gains. . .

Racism at the DOJ Part One

Racism at the DOJ Part One

Those of us who wanted to believe that the election of Barack Hussein Obama as president would signal the end of racial politics in America have been rudely awakened to stark reality.

Not only are racial politics alive and well in the United States but they have begun to take on the aura of racism as it exists in Zimbabwe today. It’s a modified racism but not very far removed in spirit from the black racist policies of the president of the formerly prosperous nation of Rhodesia in southern Africa.

Robert Mugabe practiced retributive, revenge, politics against the successful and productive white farmers of Rhodesia by expelling them from their lands and replacing them with inept Zimbabwean blacks with his “land reform.”

He managed to convert the new Zimbabwe into a virtual wasteland.

Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder are far from accomplishing that feat in America, primarily because African Americans constitute a mere 13% of our population. Based on Holder’s actions, it’s a damned good thing for American whites that we still maintain a healthy majority, until Hispanics supersede us.

At the very end of George W. Bush’s second term, . . .

These Are Our Leaders?

These Are Our Leaders?

Leadership has been defined as “a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.”

We look to our leaders and others in authority to show us the way, to inspire and to motivate whether on a national, state, or local level and in our daily lives. Everyone can’t be a leader; with all chiefs and no braves, we would have chaos so those who assume the mantle of leadership have a unique obligation to show the way.

What we have in America today is a dearth of true leaders, a crisis of leadership in that many of our leaders seemingly haven’t the foggiest notion of what their responsibilities are and how to fulfill them. They may be accomplishing their narrow personal goals but they all but ignore their broader national leadership mandates.

They don’t know how to lead.

A prime case in point is our attorney general,. . .

"I Know We Are at War," and Other DC Fables

“I Know We Are at War,” and Other DC Fables

As more and more cracks appear in the previously-impenetrable Wall of Obamian MSM Idolators, the president must be wondering if he could get away with bailouts for all of his driveby media whether they need it or not.

When “SNL” feels free to take potshots at Obama, the Times prints truthful news about him, and even Theonion.com no longer feels he is sacrosanct and beyond reproach, something may be a-brewing that could approach even-handed treatment of the president.

Some queasiness just might be settling in on the banks of the Potomac and within the White House walls as the administration gets a tad nervous.

In an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder attempted to defend his decision to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators in a federal civilian court in Manhattan, within virtual spitting distance from Ground Zero.

Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D. VT) wasn’t able to shield Holder from some hard questions concerning his decision, a decision he has contended he alone made, which is as preposterous as it is damning.

Would the President of the United States have had absolutely no input in the matter of by-passing military tribunals? If so, he is more out of touch with reality than it has seemed and once more he has contradicted himself.

Holder surprisingly admitted something Obama has long avoided by saying: “I know that we are at war. I know that we are at war with a vicious enemy who targets our soldiers on the battlefield in Afghanistan and our civilians in the streets here at home:” http://bit.ly/2OUdSp

He held fast to the Obama position that the war is not against Islamic terrorism by never mentioning that abhorrent phrase. . . .
