While it would be easy to blame Barack Obama for Eric Holder being the Attorney General, and he does deserve half of the blame, Senate Republicans didn’t take the step to make sure Holder wasn’t confirmed. As Attorney General, Holder is a joke; he’s worse than Janet Reno, worse than Alberto Gonzales, and nearly as bad as Ramsey Clark and John Mitchell. Yesterday, Holder was | Read More »
Well…not exactly. It isn’t that man-made global warming is the cause of these uprisings; it’s the policies, what I call the dogma of the religion of Anthropogenic Climatism, being used to “fight” it. For years, the Dept. of Agriculture has subsidized farmers, especially those growing corn, to funnel their harvest towards the production of corn-based ethanol and biofuels instead of as food; as a result, | Read More »
We all know about the left’s horrible attacks on Sarah Palin. Although I’m sure it’s not the first time, but the left isn’t fond of Herman Cain either. Not only because he is a successful conservative, but because he has committed the liberal crime of being a successful conservative who is black and not a Democrat. Via Power Line, lefty trash AlterNet (I won’t link | Read More »
It appears the Department of Justice’s stonewalling of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case may not have paid off. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is all set to close the investigation and issue its final report. But they also voted to delay issuing the report until one of the Democrats, Michael Yaki, is reappointed (if he is reappointed, although I would be | Read More »
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and 73 other Democrats put out a letter "asking" (demanding) that Associate Justice Clarence Thomas recuse himself from any Obamacare Supreme Court deliberations. According to the piece, letter author Weiner is responding to a suggestion Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) made last week that new Associate Justice Elena Kagan recuse herself since her previous job was to run the office that determines | Read More »
For awhile now, the city of Chicago, under the thumb of Mayor Richard M. “Shortshanks”* Daley, has had established a minority set-aside program to award city contracts to businesses owned by people that liberal statists call minorities. Being Chicago, this program was illegally manipulated by Democrats to defraud the city of $100 million in contracts (see the last paragraph of this piece; H/T: JWF). The | Read More »
This is going to be a bit rough to read, but conservatives need to read this. Andrew Breitbart did not get Shirley Sherrod let go from her job at the USDA. Conservatives did not get Shirley Sherrod let go from her job at the USDA. The responsibility for that lies completely with the Obama administration, although the administration is trying to deny it. Neither Breitbart | Read More »
The Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. must believe he has some sort of “insight” to know what is in the hearts of men, especially white men with money. Jackson says he knows why Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert publicly ripped into former Cav’s superstar LeBron James after James announced he would leave Cleveland to play for the Miami Heat: Jackson said Gilbert’s comments were “mean, arrogant | Read More »
The nephew of the great Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was allegedly beaten and tased (which led to an epileptic seizure) by a security detail at a New Orleans area hospital earlier this week. Thomas was told by the young man’s sister, and it is reported that Thomas was outraged, and will be flying down to Louisiana to look further into the matter (and | Read More »
All I can say is that when Matt Yglesias makes statements such as this, in a whiny post about the filibuster [emphasis mine]: If the framers had deemed it crucial that the Senate operate via supermajority, they could have written that into the constitution. What’s more, it’s not really clear what relevance the framers have here—they wanted an un-elected Senate, they wanted slavery, they wanted | Read More »
There is a double standard when it comes to identifying who is a racist. It’s no surprise that Harry Reid (D-NV) got a pass today from every Democratic Congressional member (the CBC), Democratic supporting group (the NAACP), or race hustler Al Sharpton. The same, of course, cannot be said about Rep. Joe Wilson (D-SC) who famously yelled out “You lie” while The One was giving | Read More »
A 3-judge panel of the infamous 9th Circuit, the most overturned federal appellate court, has overturned a Washington state law (and any other similar laws of the other states under its jurisdiction) that disallowed felons from voting, even while still in prison. The reason? Minority disenfranchisement. Because blacks are more likely to be in prison than anyone else. Dafydd ab Hugh has a partial list | Read More »
From Drudge, “Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.“: A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Ah. It’s for…the children. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long. In their | Read More »
I think Mark Levin, on his radio show last night, asked the right question: is Al Sharpton running the NFL? The last I checked, he didn’t. But Sharpton sure seemed like he did when he announced, loudly, that Rush Limbaugh shouldn’t be a part-owner in an NFL team. Using the racist fear-mongering and outright race-baiting lies that are the hallmark of leftists, Limbaugh was dropped | Read More »
The quoted part of this post’s title comes from DRJ at Patterico’s; the pictures say it all. There is a link to Cliff Thier at American Thinker who opines: Mark today [ed. note: Sep. 12, 2009] as the date that the mainstream media put a gun in its mouth and pulled the trigger. Then of course, there is Kanye West at last night’s MTV Video | Read More »
I’ve been following along with the saga of President Obama’s “Green Czar”, someone who can’t define what a “green” job is (nor can anyone else), the self-avowed Communist Van Jones. The push to get him removed has done much to further put on display Obama’s past and present associations with outright radicals, and showing Obama to be as unserious as any of these people who | Read More »
As was expected, the brown-nosing, Obama-shilling, leg-thrilling, Democratic mainstream media didn’t say boo about MSNBC’s outrageous “Morning Meeting” segment that I wrote about yesterday, where MSNBC seems to want to start a race war in the so-called post-racial America run by Barack Obama. MSNBC themselves issued a response that further shows the network to be prostitutes of the Obama propaganda machine (as reported by the | Read More »
Katrina Browne is a filmmaker. Apparently, her ancestors were Yankee slave traders (from Rhode Island). Because of her liberal guilt, America must continue its never-ending apologies to African-Americans for slavery. One of the things that is amazing to me about those on the left is that they will mention the Civil War in passing when discussing slavery, then move on to Jim Crow. Browne does | Read More »
I hate racial classification. Let me take that back. I hate racial classification as it is done here in the United States. Why? Two reasons: 1) we’re all Americans; and, 2) the left controls racial classification. The first reason is pretty self-explanatory. But with that second reason, the left has been allowed to decide what the classifications will be. And if you think I’m kidding, | Read More »
As noted by our “illustrious” new Attorney General Eric Holder, “in things racial we have always been and continue to be…essentially a nation of cowards”. I mentioned yesterday that Bill Kristol discussed why talking about race has done nothing more than continue to divide Americans, and RedState’s Jeff Emanuel hits the nail on the head why there aren’t more “frank” discussions about race, “actually engaging | Read More »
