Eric Holder Maneuvering for an “Affirmative Action Forever” Curse on American ‘Black’ Nation

Black Racist, Eric Holder, seems to be interested in a two race America…..Black versus White.

Holder Wants Race Preferences and Benefits . . . Forever

by J. Christian Adams    at   Pajamas Media:

Eric Holder has gone all-in supporting race-based hiring preferences and race-based benefits.  Given that the majority of Americans despise this rot, surely the presidential candidates will pounce.

In a little noticed interview at the “World Leaders Forum,” Holder makes statements that should be the subject of a direct mail piece in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Virginia:

Holder expressed support for affirmative action, saying that he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.”

 

“Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”

Let me repeat:  When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?  Again, the benefits to which they are entitled.

Ponder a moment the layers of rubbish in this philosophy.

Some are surprised by Holder’s brazenness.  I am not.  As I like to say, I wrote a bestseller about Holder’s racialist DOJ.  Nothing surprises me anymore.  The only surprise is the dumbfounded, stuck, GOP response — which would be none.

If the GOP nominee does not make this a presidential campaign issue because he is afraid to talk about such unpleasantries, then shame on him.  In tough economic times, the last thing middle America wants to hear is the attorney general grousing about people of color getting benefits because of their color.

The Obama administration obviously exercises no restraint on racial issues, or perhaps has the courage of their convictions.  What price is paid for this racial radicalism?  None.

 

Instead, we have a whole assortment of Republicans, inside the government (oh and I could name so many names), afraid to pound Obama for this.  Let’s hope they come out of their shells and fight.

Obama has paid no price for this rotted, unfair, and un-American employment philosophy, and continued GOP silence will preserve this peace.

Romney Does Well in Washington State……Gets Erik Cantor Endorsement in Virginia

Romney wins WA caucus, Santorum falls to third

by Ed Morrissey       at   HotAir

“Mitt Romney won the Washington caucus yesterday, as polls indicated in the last couple of days, but by a wider margin than expected.  Also unexpected was the second-place finisher:

Mitt Romney won the Republican caucuses in Washington state, according to unofficial results early Sunday, giving the former Massachusetts governor a shot in the arm heading into Super Tuesday contests.

With 99% of the vote in, Romney had 38%. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 25% and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 24%. They were trailed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 10%.

At stake in the contest are 40 delegates.

“We’re in a good second place, but the good news is we’re doing very, very well in getting delegates,” Paul told supporters in Seattle, when about half of the vote had been counted. “The enthusiasm for the cause of liberty continues to grow exponentially.”

Actually what was at stake was zero delegates.  The delegates get assigned at the state convention, and the preference poll doesn’t bind the state convention to any outcome.  The caucus does provide some bragging rights and momentum heading into Super Tuesday, though, and Romney will be able to brag both about the win and the turnout, which was much higher than in 2008, when only 12,400 voters attended.  Nearly four times that number caucused yesterday, which means that Romney can rebut the charge that he only wins contests with depressed turnouts.  In fact, Romney won more votes yesterday (19,111) than were cast in total in 2008.

For that matter, so did Ron Paul, who engineered a surprise second-place finish over Rick Santorum, with 12,594 votes.  Santorum won 500 fewer votes, and comes in lower than second place for the first time in a month.  Santorum campaigned in Washington this week, and the finish will create even more doubt in Super Tuesday states about his continued viability.

I’d normally predict that the party leadership would consider throwing in with Romney at this point to hasten the conclusion of the competitive part of the primary, but House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has already done so:

“Mitt Romney is the only candidate who has a pro-growth, pro-jobs plan for the future,” Cantor said on NBC’s Meet the Press. He added: “[Romney] will best be able to lead this economy back to a growth mode.”

Throughout his interview, Cantor attempted to focus on the economy, and praised Romney as being the only candidate to put forth a “bold plan” to increase jobs and reduce regulatory red tape.

Cantor represents Virginia, which is one of 10 states voting on Super Tuesday, March 6. While Cantor said he expects Romney to take all of Virginia’s delegates, only Romney and Rep. Ron Paul are on the ballot there.

Cantor’s endorsement could have been tied to the Virginia primary, but Romney and Paul are the only two on that ballot, and Romney is already expected to win by a wide margin.  This sounds more like a message intended for those outside of Virginia and for the rest of the Super Tuesday states.  Don’t be surprised if other senior GOP figures in leadership follow suit.”

Sarah Palin Suggests Allen West for Veep. I do too!

Allen West is one of my favorite Washington creatures.  Bright, articulate, tough, in-your-face energetic, a military  no nonense guy…..a fireball conservative American who is well educated American style…..actually, a kind of guy that would scare Obama out of his teleprompter wits if ever appeared on the same stage.   

Olympic Mitt and USA Allen  against Indonesia Islamist Obie and Joe Delaware!

Sarah Palin has similar ideas.   She has more political clout than I do……thank God.

I wonder what tricks the Obama folks would cook up to keept America’s service men and women from voting this November, 2012?

Obama Announces He is Israel’s Best Friend. Is Lying Part of his 3rd World Cultural Background?

Israel’s worst frenemy

by  Michael Goodwin    New York Post

“Woe is me. President Obama claims he is the best friend Israel ever had in the White House, yet doesn’t get any respect. This is no Rodney Dangerfield act. He is deadly serious.

“Every single commitment I have made to the state of Israel and its security, I have kept,” he told The Atlantic magazine. “Why is it that despite me never failing to support Israel on every single problem that they’ve had over the last three years, that there are still questions about that?”

The question deserves an honest answer, though the truth is not likely to cut through the fog of presidential self-pity. A man who compares himself to Lincoln, Gandhi, King, Mandela and FDR isn’t the sort to welcome disagreement. 

And that is the heart of his problem. Obama is certain he knows what’s good for Israel. Given his record and the Iranian threat, it’s an impossible sell.

He came into office thinking Israel was the obstacle to Middle East peace; three years later, his policies are producing more signs of war than peace. The Palestinians won’t negotiate for their own state because the president foolishly urged them to make a ban on Israeli settlements a precondition.

He was wrong from the git-go, and still is. But facts don’t stand a chance. As a Democrat who speaks to Obama about the Mideast told me, he has a “stubborn worldview.”

How stubborn will be revealed today and tomorrow during crucial meetings with Israeli leaders. The Iranian march to nukes will top the agenda, but Obama’s view on Iran is typical of how he sees the region and his role in it.

Stripped of nuance, the gist is that Israel and America are oppressors and Muslims are oppressed. He remains obsessed with the idea that all will be well if only we prove to Muslims that we’re not bigots.

The latest example is his apology to Afghans after our soldiers mistakenly burned the Koran. Six soldiers have been murdered in subsequent riots, yet he insists those involved in the burning face military charges.

His approach to Iran is similarly misguided. Despite its thugocracy, he refuses to accept that his policy of engagement has failed. The White House even says it sees Iran as a “rational actor,” and Obama told The Atlantic that military action against Iran could work to its advantage.

“At a time when there is not a lot of sympathy for Iran and its only real ally [Syria] is on the ropes, do we want a distraction in which suddenly Iran can portray itself as a victim?” he asked.

Huh?

This is Obama at his faculty-lounge worst. Trapped by his own prejudices and misreading of history and culture, he continues to suggest that Iran is open to persuasion if he can find the right words. It’s not. It’s an evil regime that tortures its people, kills American soldiers, sponsors terrorism and wants a nuclear bomb to use against Israel and to dominate Arab countries.

A friend who recently met with top Israeli officials says the bottom line they will explain to Obama is that there are two things no Israeli government can ever do. First, it cannot allow a mortal enemy to get a weapon of mass destruction or the ability to make one. Second, it cannot entrust its survival to a third party, including the United States.

The policy that flows from those principles is obvious. Israel will attack when it feels Iran is close to getting the bomb. And Israel is more likely to reach that conclusion sooner because it doesn’t trust Obama’s resolve or time line.

For his part, Obama will have to search someplace else for respect. Israel is too busy trying to survive.

2 partie$ vs.the people

My late friend Sidney Zion used to argue that the real political battle isn’t Democrats vs. Republicans but government insiders vs. the public. “Two parties against the people,” Sid often said.

To see an example, look at the battle in Albany over pension reform. Defying mathematics and fairness, legislators from both parties are joined at the hip in selling out taxpayers and pandering to unions. On the reform side are chief executives, led by Gov. Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg, along with mayors and county leaders, who must balance budgets while providing essential services.

The executive branch wants sensible trims in benefits that would apply to new employees, saving $113 billion over 30 years while leaving New York among the most generous states in the nation. But unions have come to believe they should never hear the word “no,” and their legislative puppets say “Amen.”

The face-off is not partisan; it’s responsibility vs. recklessness. The executive branch is stuck with reality while legislators are focused on the next election, no matter the rising tide of red ink.

Most distressing is that the city and state comptrollers, whose job it is to know better, have joined the spendthrifts. Indeed, John Liu and Tom DiNapoli are abusing their offices to argue there is no fiscal problem that time and tinkering won’t solve.

Their numbers don’t add up, and it gets worse. They support the scandalous practice of the state and local governments borrowing from their pension plans to make pension payments.

That’s not just pushing the problem into the future; it’s running up the tab by adding extra interest.

Two parties against the people. Remember that and you will understand most of what’s wrong in Albany.

Live online & learn

The battle over teacher quality has produced a lot of heat, and now an interesting idea. It comes from reader Terri Kaminetsky, who believes a kind of master class of every major subject should be recorded and put on the Internet for any student or parent to view.

“If a kid in school X has a bad teacher, he can go online and get the lesson,” she writes. “The best teachers in each subject would be available to all the kids. It is so doable and would have the effect of leveling the playing field.”

She adds: “MIT puts classes online for free, so why can’t the NYC public schools? It would put the kids into the driver’s seat; they could go as far educationally as their ambition allowed. Isn’t that what America is all about?”

Kaminetsky is on to something. Technology is a tool that can leap over old problems. Many kids live online, and it makes sense to use that fact to connect them to the best teachers.

Fund-raising an eyebrow or two

He’s No. 1! Obama has set a record by doing 100 fund-raisers already, twice as many as George W. Bush by this time. It means he’s spending less time governing — for which we are grateful.

Occupying ‘Fall’ Street

Here’s good news — if you think banks are evil. Wall Street has shed 4,300 jobs, and more cuts are coming. Yippee. Or maybe not. After all, if the banks disappear, the Occupy Wall Street hooligans won’t have a place to occupy or anybody else to blame for their own problems”

Comment:   Does Obama really believe himself when he radiates so many lies on so many subjects?

Telling truths is very difficult in the third world.  Deceit is highly honored.   Some believe deceit and dishonesty become essential skills to create winners at the market.     Greed and survival sharpen the haggling  which strenthens  the bravado of disingenuousness, deception, cheating, and all that goes with the darker corners of dishonesty.

Obama pays ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION TO TRUTH.  He is the classic third world con artist after a buck.  He was NEVER educated to become and American.

Obama’s Made America financially WORSE than Europe, except for Greece and Ireland!

We’re Already Europe

from the National Center for Policy Analysis:

With seemingly every day bringing more bad news from Europe, many are beginning to ask how much longer the United States has before our welfare state follows the European model into bankruptcy.  The bad news: It may already have, says Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.

• This year, the fourth straight year that the United States borrowed more than $1 trillion to support the federal government, our budget deficit will top $1.3 trillion, 8.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
• Only two European countries, Greece and Ireland, have larger budget deficits as a percentage of GDP.
• Things are only slightly better when you look at the size of our national debt, which now exceeds $15.3 trillion, or 102 percent of GDP.
• Just four European countries have larger national debts than we do — Greece and Ireland again, plus Portugal and Italy.

And as bad as things are right now, we are on an even worse course for the future.

• If one adds the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare to our official national debt, we really owe $72 trillion, by the Obama administration’s projections, and as much as $137 trillion if you use more realistic projections.
• Under the best-case scenario, then, this amounts to more than 480 percent of GDP; under more realistic projections, we owe an astounding 911 percent of GDP.
• Meanwhile, counting both official debt and unfunded pension and health care liabilities, the most indebted nation in Europe is Greece, which owes 875 percent of GDP.
• France, the second most insolvent nation in Europe, owes just 549 percent of GDP.

Perhaps we can take some solace in the fact that our welfare state is not yet as big as Europe’s.  But the key word here is “yet,” says Tanner.

At that point does the United States cease being the United States as we have known it?  At the very least, can our economy survive such a crushing burden of government spending, and its attendant level of taxes and debt?

Obama on Iran: ‘I don’t bluff’……THE president said in a moment of comic relief!

Obama on Iran: ‘I don’t bluff’

by Christi Parsons     at   the Los Angeles Times

“President Obama’s goal in upcoming talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to persuade him that the United States “has Israel’s back” so that Israel has no need to rush toward air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the president said in a newly published interview.
 
In a meeting at the White House on Monday, the president told journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, he will try to persuade the Israeli leader that an attack now would backfire at a time when Iran is under increasing international pressure.

In an interview granted earlier this week and posted on the Atlantic magazine’s website Friday morning, Goldberg reported that Obama is dismissive of a strategy of containment as unworkable and called it “unacceptable” for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Obama said he plans to tell Netanyahu that he will order military strikes against Iran’s nuclear program if the current international sanctions are not successful in deterring its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The possibility of an American strike against Iran is a serious one, Goldberg reported.

“I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don’t bluff,” Obama said, according to the report. “I also don’t, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are. But I think both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say.”

Many of the president’s supporters are concerned about that commitment, an uneasiness Obama reportedly hopes to allay in a Sunday speech to a pro-Israel lobby. Obama’s agenda the next day in his meeting with Netanyahu is to convince Israeli leadership that they can rely on that assurance enough to delay military action of their own.

Obama said in the interview that all options are on the table in the Iranian situation, the final one being what he referred to as the “military component.” He said his concerns are not just about Israel’s security but about the proliferation of nuclear weapons more generally.

Still, Obama said he has faith that the sanctions coordinated by his administration have hurt Iran and that they may soon force the regime in Tehran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

“Without in any way being under an illusion about Iranian intentions, without in any way being naive about the nature of that regime, they are self-interested,” Obama said. “It is possible for them to make a strategic calculation that, at minimum, pushes much further to the right whatever potential breakout capacity they may have, and that may turn out to be the best decision for Israel’s security.”

More Thuggery by California Teacher Unions……Harassing Parents and Altering Documents

Noted the following in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal:

PARENT -  TRIGGER  WARFARE

For over a year, teacher’s unions and their allies have used bureaucratic games and intimidation to fight “parent-trigger” school reform in California.  Now comes evidence that they may have falsified documents.  In January, a group of parents in the Mojave Desert town of Adelanto filed petitions to “trigger”  changes at their children’s failing elementary school.   That’s their right under a 2010 California law, provided the school’s academic conditions are dire enough and a majority of parents support pulling the trigger.   Few dispute that Desert Trails Elementary fails its students, yet last week the Adelanto school district ruled that the trigger drive lacks majority support because 97 parents rescinded their original petitions. But based on interviews we’ve conducted and sworn affidavits we’ve reviewed, it’s clear that many parents were harassed into rescinding.

In the Desert Trails parking lot and at front doors across Adelanto, strangers confronted parents and spread untruths about the trigger drive: that it would force the immediate closure of Desert Trails, for exampls, or result in the firing of all teachers, or cause certain children to be expelled.   Some parents heard the trigger drive was an embezzlement scheme.  Others had their immigration status questioned. 

Trigger supporters suspect the malign influence of the California Teachers Association.   Such bullying fits into its familiar anti-trigger playbook, and the untruth squads (which generally refused to identify themselves) pinpointed parents and ginned up rescissions with amazing efficiency over merely a few days.

At least three Adleanto parents have also signed affidavits swearing that the rescission documents bearing their signatures were doctored before being delivered (in photocopied form) to the district.  “I am absolutely sure,” reads the affidavit of one mother who refused to have her name published for fear of retribution, , “that I did not check any of the boxes on the form claiming that I was misled, intimidated or bribed by the Desert Trails Parents Union, “which is the group that supports parent trigger.   Yet her form on file with the district makes exactly these claims – a remarkable coincidence given the district’s rule that it would honor rescissions only if they cited such justifications.

We don’t know how many rescissions were falsified,; the first two cases came to light only because someone was sloppy enough to file two versions of the same parent’s rescission, one without, and one with, boxes checked.  But these  cast doubt on the whole bunch and the onus is on the district to prove their validity.  Working with pro bono lawyers from Kirkland & Ellis, the parents have called for investigations by the San Bernardino district attorney and sheriff – and soon, before any crucial documents suddenly go missing.

Some 20 other states are considering parent-trigger laws, so Adelanto’s experience is a harbinger.  California passed its version precisely to give parents the ability to organize and challenge entrenched union and bureaucratic power.   If those  powers-that-be can get away with intimidation and tricks to preserve the status quo, then the reform is a farce.”
