   We are one step closer to knowing why the Thugs from Chicago prefer to look the other way when a basic right, like voting, is violated by political supporters.

   In the old days our legislative branch would open committee hearings (with zeal) to get to the bottom of this sort of thuggish behavior. But alas, the legislative branch and the old media are no longer interested in the protection of civil rights. Their interest now is to bask in the power grab of the executive. How times have changed.

   A side note, after ten days on the road and an all day travel day yesterday (weather delays, flight cancellations) I arrived home about midnight and found my copy of Culture of Corruption tucked in with all the mail!!

   I know what I’ll be reading this weekend.

   Keep pushing for accountability on the corruption, Michelle. I was very disturbed that those thugs were allowed to conduct themselves that way, and it really burns me up that they were allowed to get away with it. I want to see somebody pay a price for this miscarriage of justice.

   If we do not get justice in the panther case, our next election will be even more corrupt. If they get away with this, they will ramp up the intimidation. We need to have some conservatives at the polls in 2010 to counter their tactics and make sure they don’t scare people away!! Maybe the tea party people could organize some patrols at each poll to assure that nothing like that occurs. We have enough people to do that!

   Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told The Washington Times that the department has an “ongoing obligation to be sure the claims it makes are supported by the facts and the law. She said that after a “thorough review of the complaint, top career attorneys in the Civil Rights Division determined the “facts and the law did not support pursuing the claims against three of the defendants.

   I find this absolutely mind blowing. It’s all on tape, billy club and all, racial slurs included. I think, though, that a few paragraphs later, the reason becomes clear.

   While the Obama administration has vowed a new era of openness, department officials have refused to answer questions from Republican members of Congress on why the case was dismissed, claiming the information was “privileged, according to congressional correspondence with the department.

   Congressonal correspondence with the department? I’d like names!

    King is no stranger to controversy and what some might consider liberal activism at DOJ. She was involved in the Federal Government challenging the Georgia voter identification law. And also DOJ going after Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona. Way to go with the appointments, Obama. Holder and Obama said DOJ was going to get busy and it appears they have. Few expected that to mean standing down from confronting apparent lawbreakers in this case.

    You DO NOT call the police when someone is breaking into your neighbor’s house when that neighbor is a racist black college professor.

    You DO NOT call if that neighbor is someone you do not know, and the neighbor is black, and you are white. He might BE a racist black college professor ….. or something even worse.

    1) It’s not your problem.
    2) You will be punished for interfering.

    THAT is the lesson.

    Now don’t people be screaming at me that is not ‘right.’ Of course it is not right.

    Now the ‘black community’ completely controls the presidency and the justice department.

    The lesson the Democrats are teaching the citizenry is what it is. It’s the lesson they’ve been cramming down our throats ever since the creation of the Republic.

    It’s a ‘lesson’ I LOATHE.

    They were the Party of segregation fifty years ago, and they are STILL TEACHING THAT LESSON. They were the Party of Slavery. Nothing changes.

    The races cannot live together in harmony, judging each person on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

    “Yeah, where he really learned a whole lot about i(n)tegrity.”

    I’m going to put that back on us. We as voters for many years have not cared about substance, the deeper issues, but only about superficial quick news perceptions. Manipulating perceptions to appear to have integrity is all politicians need to do. Which is why when they get caught with their pants down, at least some of us, are appalled. The political class wants power. I don’t care with letter is after their name, R, D or I. If they didn’t want power, they wouldn’t be in politics. Denying that reality is like saying a lawyer doesn’t like to argue. Its what they do.

    Politicians learned quickly that the people who give them that power will do so based on appearances, perceptions, not reality, not substance. In fact IF you attempt to get to substance today you are labeled some kind of kook.

    As in I’m guessing that Michelle did not need to do a whole lot of research to get to the facts which demonstrate the current wave of corruption. When no one else is doing so and no one is really interested in doing so, someone taking the time to do so seems like the odd man out and is the one who did a bunch of work. When what is more the case is that the standard has changed so much that most folks skim the surface and don’t bother with substance. Glad MM did the book. I’m just thinking the research part was probably not that difficult.

    We have the political class we deserve including the lack of real integrity.

    The solution is not to look back and whine. The solution is to vote vote vote. To change the context of politics by us getting involved.

    The solution as corny as it sounds just might be the Serenity Prayer. Here’s the whole thing by the way not just the first few lines as commonly voiced.

    _________________________

    The Serenity Prayer

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
    courage to change the things I can;
    and wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
    Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
    Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
    That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him
    Forever in the next.
    Amen.

    Crowley did act inappropriately, and conservatives/libertarians should see that.

    Is Gates obnoxious? A racist? An unreasonable man? Based on this incident he is apparently all those things in some measure. But but being an obnoxious, racist, unreasonable man isn’t illegal. Talking back to a cop isn’t illegal. Telling a cop his mother wears army boots isn’t illegal. That’s all protected by the First Amendment.

    When Gates started mouthing off Crowley should have done what you or I or any other civilian would have to do: walk away.

    …and ultimately approved a decision in May to reverse course and drop a civil complaint…

    …recommended that Justice seek sanctions against the party and three of its members after the government had already won a default judgment in federal court against the men.

    Acting Assistant Attorney for (Black?) Civil Rights Grace Loretta King, an Obama appointee, is…surprise, surprise…a black activist attorney.

    Why is it the only picture I could find of this woman, was one of her speaking at a podium at a convention for the National Fair Housing Alliance?

    Interesting…in checking with the home page of the National Fair Housing Alliance, I found that their list of “Partners” had been conveniently scrubbed. I wonder why?

    Back on point…I have never heard of any Plaintiff who’s won a default judgment, suddenly reverse course, and say, “Never mind.” Huh! This smells strongly of mackerel.

    There is direct evidence against the defendants (the video), they defaulted (didn’t show up…is it because;

    a) Obama felt they were the victims here (“homeboy’s got our backs!”),

    b) “white man’s” laws don’t apply to them (they adhere to Sharia Law instead), or

    c) they were too illiterate to read and understand the subpoenas?

    The DOJ is supposed to believe in equal protection under the law, so what’s up with this obvious interference with the course of justice?

    People need to be screaming about this. This is the same thing we have been fighting against all our life. I wonder if white men did this if the blacks would be as quiet? Where is rev, All and Jesse on this. I thought they where suppose to be against racism? I guess that if you the right color racism is OK.

    “the blacks” isn’t 100% all black folks. This is one of “the blacks” that supports Officer Crowley. In my circles, the only people so far who have made any comments about the arrest have been “the whites”–white females, actually.

    Crowley did act inappropriately, and conservatives/libertarians should see that.

    When Gates started mouthing off Crowley should have done what you or I or any other civilian would have to do: walk away.

    First of all, Crowley is not ‘any other civilian’, he’s a police officer, and as such has authority and responsibilities civilians don’t. He had a responsibility to respond to the report of a possible crime, and then make sure that the situation was under control (obviously it was not) before he left the scene, which is exactly what he did.

    Also, this is a matter of differing opinions, agreement and disagreement, among commenters here. Suggesting that others “should see” things the way you do is ridiculous.

    I may be wrong and I haven’t googled it, but wasn’t President Bush’s approval at 55% during this point of his presidency?

    Conservatives shouldn’t applaud someone being arrested for talking, no matter how offensive and absurd the speech is.

    Officer Crowley WAS walking away, but Gates followed him outside and insisted on shouting at the officer and disturbing the peace even after he was warned to be quiet. Gates wasn’t just “talking”, he was also interfering with the Officer’s attempt to perform his duty and finish his investigation.

    If you think free speech should be an absolute right, try “talking” smack to a judge in court and see where that lands you. In fact, try talking smack to the Supreme Court while in session and see if they consider your free speech rights to be absolute.

    We have more than just the 1st amendment in the constitution. We also have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms. So try insisting on your right to bear arms when a police officer orders you to put down your weapon. You may feel you have a constitutional right to refuse the Officer’s request, but you’d be wrong – dead wrong. And the Officer will enjoy a paid vacation until the investigation of your shooting exhonorates him.

    I’m fairly certain that this, along with the other problems in this country whether fiscal, judicial or or otherwise, are a direct result of Darth Cheney and Bu$hitler. Mr. Obama is simply righting all the wrongs perpetrated by the former administration. Also, he has God’s blessing. And France likes him. Plus he’s a good dancer.

    The NBPP member has not stayed away from expressing his views on a social media site like MySpace. Mr. Jackson’s(WARNING DISTURBING CONTENT) MySpace site is chock full of disturbing images with explicit racial overtones. A sample of some of the phrases and images on his MySpace page include:

    “BLACK POWER,BLACK LOVE,BLACK UNITY,BLACK MINDS,KILLIN CRAKKKAS”

    “F*** Whitey’s Christmas”

    An image of an execution scene from the cult hit film “Pulp Fiction”

    A photo of a man holding a sign saying, “DEPORT WHITE PEOPLE”

    A derogatory anti-cop poster titled “BEWARE OF PIG”

    An image of Saddam Hussein before his execution

    A photo of a cop sitting next to a black child in a toy car. Beneath the image the phrase “Racial Profiling: It Starts Early”

    A photoshopped movie poster of the “Bourne Supremacy” is re-worded to say “The Bourne White Supremacy” A swastika is added to Matt Damon’s cheek, and the scope of his firearm is photoshopped to look as if he is about to shoot a black man. The “n” word is used to describe who Matt Damon hates in this movie poster. The New Black Panther Party member also tacks on the phrase, “They should have just stayed in Africa.”

    That’s your Justice Department … or al-Qaeda’s [Andy McCarthy]

    At the New York Post, Meghan Clyne profiles the Obama/Holder Justice Department’s latest fabulous addition, Jennifer Daskal, formerly “senior counterterrorism counsel” at Human Rights Watch. Daskal has no prosecutorial experience; she is, however, an activist of the hard left, which now evidently qualifies lawyers to serve as political appointees in DOJ’s National Security Division. She’s been tapped to shape detainee policy as part of Obama’s Detention Policy Task Force (that’s the task force I declined an invitation to meet with this past spring, as explained in this letter to Attorney General Holder).
