Thought it couldn't happen in America? It is! Today on Fox News Megyn Kelly exposed how the department of Justice was told to stop pursuing the case against the Black Panthers regarding voter intimidation during the Obama campaign.
The entire episode had been caught on video as well as having multiple witnesses to corroborate the story. The case was pursued at first but then it turns out the DOJ instructed the lawyers to drop the case. The whistle blower who came forward about this was apparently willing to come forward that they were told to drop the case, but was either afraid or unwilling to specify where those orders came from.
He made it clear that the orders came from high up, but then they would have to in order to stop such a case as this. The person assigned to the case said it was a "slam dunk", making it clear that this was one of those few cases there was no question about and they were sure they could win. The question then begs itself why were they told not to pursue it?
Is it possible the person or people who told them to stop did so because they were afraid more would come out about their actions. Was it because they were afraid it might point back to the administration instructing them to do so in the first place?
It is likely we will never know now that the case as been dropped. What this does show is that those in authority in our nation are not really interested in justice at all; if anything they are doing what they can to get in the way of what is right, ethical, moral and just.
This miscarriage of justice will only be the first in a long line of them if it is allowed to go unchallenged. The media becomes less and less willing to watchdog what the government is doing and the government becomes more and more bold each time they get away with something like this.
They all know that if the media doesn't cover something it's as good as if it didn't exist or at least sends the signal that it's not very important.
This ought to scare every American. Why is no one being held responsible at the Department of Justice.
A conviction was already in place and all they needed was for sentencing to happen and then the DOJ instructed them to drop all the charges and dismiss the case.
It is odd how someone at the DOJ can say "the facts and the law do not support this case." Even though the law and even the judge supported this.
It has been made clear to the Civil Rights division of the DOJ that they were not to prosecute cases where it is black on white doing almost anything. The civil rights division has received a mandate that no more cases against black defendants will be brought.
All the whistle blower (J. Christian Adams) would say is that he wouldn't say who specifically even though he knows who that person is. He does state that Steve Rosenbaum didn't even read the case or read the briefs. This is becoming a pattern for this administration, congress, the president and anyone else in the administration. They regularly make rulings and vote on bills all of which they have never read and that doesn't even bother them.
The Obama administration immediately came out with what sounds like more propaganda stating that this guy made willful misstatements, though again they give no specifics. They just start calling someone a liar and the media will no doubt pick up on it.
It is clear from the videos that there was intimidation going on. It is also indisputable that the case was dropped. There has also been NO reason given by the DOJ as to why the case was dropped or why they instructed the civil rights division to drop the case.
It would seem almost everyone in our national leadership cares nothing for the truth or for the constitution and law.
When you have those who are in leadership acting in lawless ways you will end up with lawlessness of the worst kind enacted on the people who live in that nation. There are many examples of such things happening in other nations and it will quickly follow.

No Cause For Celebration
I find it incredibly odd that so much of the news is touting the support of the 2nd Amendment as something great.
How did we ever reach the point in our nation where only 5 out of 9 of the highest judges in the land support the constitution? Is this supposed be cause for celebration or outrage.
The fact that we had 4 out of those 9 judges (almost 1/2) who seem to think the 2nd Amendment needs to judged away and made irrelevant should appall every American citizen.
What is next questioning whether or not free speech actually applies to all Americans? Or maybe freedom of religion?
If people don't wake up soon they are going to find that they have none of the freedoms guaranteed by the constitution.
For some reason everyone is already saying as they did with the last nominee for a supreme court judge, that unless she really messes up she's going to get in. Where are those who defend the constitution?
I shouldn't have to be that we need to prove she doesn't qualify or it's automatically her's it ought to be that she needs to prove why she does qualify for the position. Let's consider. She has no record and what little record she has seems to show that she feels judges ought to legislate from the bench and should have the freedom to cast aside any law they simply don't like?
Since when did judges get this power? Their job is not to make laws it is to interpret the laws that are made. This is another woman that seems to loath the constitution and even the United States.
Why are we even considering allowing her to be one of the 9 highest judges in the land for the rest of her life?!
The nation is burning and still even the republicans do everything they can to help it while trying to pretend they're not progressives. They may not be more progressive than the democrats but far too many of them fall in the progressive camp and are more than willing to push progressive agendas whenever they can without exposing themselves as the progressive extremists the democrats are.
People need to contact their leaders and tell them enough is enough. This cannot continue.

Don't Know How it Will Work But We Believe It's Needed?
Senator Dodd,
"No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done."
Consider the insanity of this statement. Would any leader of any major organization or business stay in his position for long if he came to the board with such a statement.
Think about it. He believe this is something that has been needed but he doesn't know what that something is or how it will work. We have insane people in office. They have no idea what they're doing. They don't read the bills before they pass them. They don't know what's in them or how they will work. Then I would ask, "WHO WROTE THEM?!"
Why do they feel they don't need to know what's in a bill to declare it's just what we need?!
Why do the American people put up with this kind of drivel? This is not the mark of a leader or someone that should be called a statesman. Dodd and those that voted for this bill are neither.
He declared they needed a crisis to make this happen. They know that's because cooler heads would prevail and demand that the bill be read and understood before it was passed. They know that no one would accept this bill if they had to deliberate it.
Everyone is so distracted with the oil spill they feel perfectly free to start passing bills they come up with in 20 hours that are 2000 pages long... LITERALLY. How did they even have time to write all that in 20 hours and who is writing it? They don't know!!
Nancy Pelosi, Dodd, Lynn Woolsey, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer to name just a few are people we need to get out of office as soon as we possibly can.
This cannot continue. Contact your congressmen and let them know you don't want a bill passed unless they've read, understand and can explain it to you. If they can't then they have no business passing it.

Does the End Justifies the Means?
Following is a statement from Bill O’Reilly,
"I don’t really care how the president did it I’m happy there is 20 billion in play."
I have sent him a letter regarding this statement and have to admit how disappointed I am to hear someone who says they oppose the progressive point of view so willing to set aside the law because he believes the end justifies the means. What a shame?
One by one many of those in the media is being silenced. Clearly even the media has become intimidated by what Obama and the government is doing. I can’t help but wonder if they aren’t starting to keep their heads down in the hope that when, not if, things shift that they may be spared. I used to think O’Reilly was a bit of a crusader but now I can’t help but wonder. Anyone willing to set aside the law simply because he believes the right thing was done either without the law or around the law is a person who does not stand behind the law and the constitution.
Our nation is rapidly heading to the point where the constitution will become a meaningless artifact. Something looked at as useful for its time but no more.
I can’t help but wonder if O’Reilly would be fine with other such moves as long as the end was one that he agreed with. After all what need have we of law, or the constitution, or the congress for that matter. Why not just invest the White house with enough power that he can intimidate any person or business into doing what is “right” when he needs to.
This mindset ought to scare every American. Our nation will not be what it was if we invest so much power in any one man. For the question always begs itself, what about when that man uses that same power to force something that we don’t agree with. By looking away from these offenses at the start we will be powerless to stop them in the end.
People keep justifying this behavior from our leaders by pointing to other times that other leaders, sometimes from the other side of the isle did the same thing. This does not justify those actions or their methods. Even though the end may prove to be a good end if the method is a violation of our principles or our constitution then it ought to be condemned by all.

Honor and Honesty in Government
Of all the words we could use to describe our representatives these two are probably at the bottom of the list. Why is it that we so readily accept that we have men representing us who have no honor or honesty? It is a common thing to hear people excuse their lack of virtue as being expected because. they are politicians.
We should expect a higher standard from our leaders not a lower one. Leaders who can't tell the truth and can't do everything in their power to do what they say should not be voted into office and if it is once found that they do not meet high standards of ethics they should be removed from their high positions as quickly as we can.
The excuses our leaders use for their lack of standards is what I would call the kindergarten excuse. It is very common to hear them say, and almost in these very words, "Well they did it." They usually put a name too it or at least the opposing party.
Which of us would ever accept such an excuse from any of our children? How often have we said back to our children... "Well if tommy jumped off a bridge does that mean you're going to?" or something similar?
This is probably the most unacceptable reason for any person to give as a reason for doing something that indefensible. They know they can't defend it on its own grounds so they rely on trying to make even you feel guilty because YOU let someone else do and didn't punish them so now you should look the other way and let them get away with it too.
Oddly it is very rare to ever hear anyone in the media address this and make them give an actual explanation. Every time our leaders do something like this we need to make sure we call them on it and make them stop.
If our leaders can't give a good reason for what they're doing on moral and ethical grounds then they shouldn't be doing it at all.
Glaring examples of how unqualified our leaders are to hold their offices and defend the constitution, which is one of their sworn duties, is their lack of knowledge of the constitution as well as their loathing of it.
Our leaders don't just have an apathy toward the constitution they are actively against it! They behave as though they think no one should have any more than they absolutely need so that others can have, but at the same time none of them live their own lives that way. Most of them have become increasingly wealthy in and through their positions in congress.
They exempt themselves from the laws they expect us to abide by. Consider that our leaders would not include in the health care law that they want the rest of us to live by that they would be required to have it themselves.
Though they continually betray what hypocrites they are still they get voted back in office.
Now we have the republicans playing good cop to the democrats bad cop. they'll trade rolls in a few years again. The republicans would have us believe they're doing something wonderful because they're amending the health care that they said was a bad thing, but they're not about to get rid of it. They wanted it as much as the democrats but needed to stay out of it knowing what a fury it would raise in the nation. This way they can look like the good guys who can't quite get it reversed because they don't have enough power when in reality they don't have any desire to get rid of it.
The republicans have been just as quick to spend our money and just as slow to cut our spending. To this day not one of them is talking about any actual cuts. Again the deceptiveness of politicians is in play. When they say cut They mean cut the rate of growth of spending. When we say cut we mean spend less than before.
Because we use the same terms we always assume they mean the same thing by it that normal people mean, but they do not.
All of these things show these men have no honor and little in the way of honesty. And honest man with honor doesn't need to constantly dodge direct questions. If he is acting with honor there is not reason for him not to give a direct answer to a direct question.
Ask yourself when the last time was that you heard any politician answer a direct question directly. This is the first sign that these men have no honor and it should be one of the most important signs.
When any leaders deflects with the time tested, "well they did it." answer you need to be aware they are ashamed of what they're doing and don't have an honorable, ethical reason for doing it. Such a leader needs to be removed for his lack of honor.
We would do much better to have honorable honest men in office than to have more of the same crooked politicians we currently have.
Instead of considering if your representative is bringing someone else's money back to your district or even just giving you back some of the money they took from you in taxes ask yourself if that person is honorable and honest in their dealings. Do they answer questions straightforwardly or do they dodge, shift blame or excuse what they are doing?
If you can't say with pride that you're representative is honest and honorable ten understand they are no different then the hucksters in parks who take your money with three card monte all the time making you think you have a chance of winning so you'll stay in the game.
It is time to drive these people out of office.
Don't look at what they say they will do, look at what they have done. Look at what they've said before they started running for office. This is the best way to know what kind of people they are. A leopard cannot change his spots.
A scorpion once wanted to get across a river so he asked the turtle for a ride. The turtle responded if I give you a ride you will most likely sting me on the way and I will die. The scorpion promised not to sting the turtle if he gave him a ride. Half way across the river the scorpion stung the turtle. As they started to go down the turtle asked, "why did you sting me, now we will both die." To this the scorpion replied, because I am a scorpion and it is in my nature."
The nature of a man doesn't change just because he's running for office or because he's now making promises to get that office. If he didn't keep promises before he will likely not keep them now. If he wasn't honorable before he will likely not be now.
Look at their nature and their past not at their promises for the future.

Anger or Compassion
I wonder sometimes if our president even knows what compassion is. It seems to me that in every situation Obama has addressed they have been addressed with anger. Sometimes it parades as compassion, but it always has the bit of anger toward someone and usually in the process is prompting us to be angry with those people or organizations as well.
When the economy began to fall apart it wasn't so much about how do we help people as it was how to we make the people responsible pay for it. How do we go after the people that are responsible and let's make sure everyone knows who's responsible.
Our president has yet to really take responsibility or show compassion. He ever looks for what new restrictions he can place on some other group of people.
Seeking only to place blame and not to accept responsibility is not presidential.
Obama mentioned no less than three times today that he was going to make sure that BP paid for the damage but didn't say anything about what he was going to do to get the problem fixed. He talked about the resolve, but the resolve he mentioned was to get BP.
We have a president who is in front of the cameras on a nearly daily basis but refuses to answer any questions from the press. The press doesn't really push him for answers and the president continues to get away with things no other president has gotten away with. If anything the media does everything they can to help cover for him.
I still can't figure out why we have a president who seems to lack in any basic genuine compassion. He certainly reserves a lot of anger for anyone that's rich, is in large business, or believes in capitalism, but genuine compassion he seems to have none at all. Even when dealing with racial issues it is not compassion for the "black man" but anger toward the "white man" and yes it's that generalized which makes it nothing less than racism, the same kind he accuses everyone else about.

What No One Will Say!
Everyone is willing to say our federal government is out of control but what no one will say is to strip them of all the spending they're doing that is not constitutional.
I know this will cause outrage but please hear me out. And please read my post carefully. Too many people no longer recognize a difference between the federal government and the state government. To them its all just government.
The reason for this is that we have taken to calling our form of government a democracy when it is in reality a democratic republic. It is such a shame this difference is no longer taught clearly in school. I suppose the reason for this is because the teachers don't believe it and have an agenda of their own.
I do make a difference between the federal and state government as does the constitution.
The federal government was never given the power or authority to make sure that we were taken care of in our old age. Yes it would be nice, but it isn't their job.
The constitution never gave them the authority or right to provide us with health care.
The constitution never gave the federal government the right or responsibility of providing education for our children.
All of these things are nice but understand none of these things are free. If something is free for you it is only because someone else is not only pay their share but yours as well so you are just a free loader. If you don't like the term don't be that person.
What no one say is that we need to get rid of these programs. Most people freak out when you say something like this, but this is only because they never think about it.
First our wonder leaders (can you hear the sarcasm?) would have you believe that social security is broken or that we're not paying enough. The reality is that it's being robbed. Our leaders view all that money as something they can use now because they plan to pay it back later. How are they going to pay it back later? By raising your taxes! That was money that was supposed to be set aside for you in a fund that would gain interest and remain untouched so when you retire you would have something to live on.
They seem to think that if you were doing it you would spend all your money and then have nothing for old age because after all, YOU are too irresponsible to be concerned about your retirement, but aren't they doing the same thing?! Certainly they are less concerned about your retirement than you are.
So when they tell you its broken understand they are simply robbing from it!
Second consider if we stopped social security short today it doesn't mean you wouldn't have money coming to you. You DID pay into it and you should get back what you paid in just like THEY PROMISED. The problem is the money isn't there because they've spent.
Ask yourself what would happen if a bank did this? We have a contract with the government and they're breaking it!
Take a look at your check sometime and see how much money you're paying in every month. Imagine what you could do with that money if it were in your hands. Speaking for myself I could have almost bought and paid for a second home by now! That would be rent income for the rest of my life... much better at today's prices than anything I'd get on social security.
When you look at all the taxes you're paying think about it for just a moment what you could do it you had all that money. Speaking for myself I make about 55k per year. I get to keep about 30 of that. Do you not think you could easily pay for a private school for your kids if you had all that money in your own pocket.
Again the government is telling us that They care more about YOUR kids than YOU do! Are they kidding?!
You could actually pay your wife to stay home and teach your kids. With that kind of money you could buy some great teaching materials and if you'd had that all along you might even have already owned your home out right by the time your kids came along in which case you wouldn't have a mortgage to pay for so you would have another $12,000+ in your pocket for discretionary spending.
Are you starting to get the idea?! This is why they don't teach good math or government in school. They don't want you to think about these things.
Don't buy the lie that you will some how be destitute if they stop providing these things for you. They are taking YOUR money to provide YOU will something YOU gave them. They think of you as stupid because they are of course very ELITE people who know far better than you what to do with YOUR money.
Why is it your responsibility to make sure someone else's children get an education. To be forced to give someone else money is not charity. It has another name, they call it robbery!
The worst thing is they rob you and PRETEND to be Robin Hood... taking from those evil rich people and giving to the poor. The problem is that they take from you but then they feel that money is theirs' to spend as they will.
If they stop the public schools then along with that they should stop the tax for it. If they stop the social security they can stop the tax for that!
We have been trained to think that if they stopped public education our children wouldn't get educations because we wouldn't afford it, but that's only because we think they would keep taking the same tax and as things stand right now with the government they would probably want to do just that. But if they stop these programs then they can and should stop the tax for them as well.
You will not be poor in your old age. Your kids won't go without an education. You will be better off with your money in your own pocket than in the pocket of someone else.
So please don't whine when you get someone willing to make what seems like the hard choice and stop these programs. Instead support them and start getting your own money back in your own pocket.
We need people in government who are willing to REALLY cut things and return to us what is ours.
Any time a politician takes money from social security for another program that certainly doesn't pay interest they should be brought up on charges of grand larceny.
It is time to get rid of the tyrants and get people in leadership who really represent us.
I know this will cause outrage but please hear me out. And please read my post carefully. Too many people no longer recognize a difference between the federal government and the state government. To them its all just government.
The reason for this is that we have taken to calling our form of government a democracy when it is in reality a democratic republic. It is such a shame this difference is no longer taught clearly in school. I suppose the reason for this is because the teachers don't believe it and have an agenda of their own.
I do make a difference between the federal and state government as does the constitution.
The federal government was never given the power or authority to make sure that we were taken care of in our old age. Yes it would be nice, but it isn't their job.
The constitution never gave them the authority or right to provide us with health care.
The constitution never gave the federal government the right or responsibility of providing education for our children.
All of these things are nice but understand none of these things are free. If something is free for you it is only because someone else is not only pay their share but yours as well so you are just a free loader. If you don't like the term don't be that person.
What no one say is that we need to get rid of these programs. Most people freak out when you say something like this, but this is only because they never think about it.
First our wonder leaders (can you hear the sarcasm?) would have you believe that social security is broken or that we're not paying enough. The reality is that it's being robbed. Our leaders view all that money as something they can use now because they plan to pay it back later. How are they going to pay it back later? By raising your taxes! That was money that was supposed to be set aside for you in a fund that would gain interest and remain untouched so when you retire you would have something to live on.
They seem to think that if you were doing it you would spend all your money and then have nothing for old age because after all, YOU are too irresponsible to be concerned about your retirement, but aren't they doing the same thing?! Certainly they are less concerned about your retirement than you are.
So when they tell you its broken understand they are simply robbing from it!
Second consider if we stopped social security short today it doesn't mean you wouldn't have money coming to you. You DID pay into it and you should get back what you paid in just like THEY PROMISED. The problem is the money isn't there because they've spent.
Ask yourself what would happen if a bank did this? We have a contract with the government and they're breaking it!
Take a look at your check sometime and see how much money you're paying in every month. Imagine what you could do with that money if it were in your hands. Speaking for myself I could have almost bought and paid for a second home by now! That would be rent income for the rest of my life... much better at today's prices than anything I'd get on social security.
When you look at all the taxes you're paying think about it for just a moment what you could do it you had all that money. Speaking for myself I make about 55k per year. I get to keep about 30 of that. Do you not think you could easily pay for a private school for your kids if you had all that money in your own pocket.
