Eric Holder Tries To Spank Kansas

Eric Holder Tries To Spank Kansas

Comments 1 comment

I love it when Bambam’s pit bull poodle get’s off his leash. He sent a snotty letter to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback claiming the law they just passed to bar feds from enforcing gun laws is unconstitutional and they would sue to prove it. But like many of Obama’s hench men, he forgets that the federal law itself is unconstitutional thus making any action by Federal Agents quite lame and a crime. After Fast & Furious, what makes him think he deserves any respect.

A new law in Kansas that criminalizes the enforcement of federal gun controls in the state is unconstitutional, Attorney General Eric H. Holder said.

“In purporting to override federal law and to criminalize the official acts of federal officers, [the law] directly conflicts with federal law and is therefore unconstitutional,” Mr. Holder wrote to Gov. Sam Brownback in a letter dated April 26. “Federal officers who are responsible for enforcing federal laws and regulations in order to maintain public safety cannot be forced to choose between the risk of a criminal prosecution by a state and the continued performance of their federal duties.”

Mr. Holder cites the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which says federal law trumps conflicting state authority or exercise of power. Kansas’s law became effective April 25.

Mr. Holder wrote that federal authorities “will continue to execute their duties to enforce all federal firearms laws and regulations. Moreover, the United States will take all appropriate action, including litigation if necessary, to prevent the State of Kansas from interfering with the activities of federal officials enforcing federal law.” Read more here at The Gateway Pundit

Does Holder have a leg to stand on? Not according to The Tenth Amendment Center.

1. Kansas is NOT purporting to criminalize the exercise of constitutional federal responsibilities.  On the contrary, the bill criminalizes what the state has determined is unconstitutional.   It is the position that such federal acts are indeed a violation of the Constitution.  No matter how much Eric might believe it to be otherwise, his view is obviously not universal – especially in Kansas.

2. The Supremacy Clause.  Holder takes the position that all tyrants do – that everything they do is authorized, anything to the contrary – worthless.  But Holder is wrong.  The Supremacy Clause doesn’t say that “any law in conflict with federal law” is void.  It says that only those laws “in pursuance” of the constitution are supreme.  The new Kansas legislation, again, takes the position that such federal acts are not constitutional, and therefore not supreme.

Obama’s End Game Should Scare The Hell Out Of You

Obama’s End Game Should Scare The Hell Out Of You

Comments 2 comments

A very well written expose on Obama and his administrations goals. Well done with a startling and scary summation at the end.
Enjoy and consider yourself warned. A Nod to Theo for the link.

On October 9, 2009, barely nine months after his inauguration on January 20th, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Obama. At the time, the committee said it was being awarded “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”Only a fool would say that Obama’s international diplomacy has worked. The siege of our Cairo embassy hoisted the flag of al Qaeda. Our Ambassador to Libya has been killed. Syria’s dictator kills his own people with abandon. The Iranians have not stopped working toward being able to make their own nuclear weapons and from Morocco to Indonesia, in a large swath of the world there are rallies whose slogan is “Death to America.” While President Obama’s performance in office will be dissected by future historians, those of us who have to live through the experience day to day are often left wondering why he chose to pursue various policies.

A big part of the answer is that Obama is a dedicated Marxist. The recent tape of his 1998 discussion of the “redistribution of wealth” is pure Communism. It isn’t garden variety Socialism. A large part of the U.S. population has had some difficulty understanding what Obama was doing because they have never encountered Marxism so directly before.

Chicago Politics Implemented By The Obama Administration……Again

Chicago Politics Implemented By The Obama Administration……Again

I can’t believe that Obama has the gall to use federal resources to attack GOP campaign donors.
It goes beyond executive privilege. This is flat-out dirty politics and is an abuse of the office he holds. The Obama administration has turned loose his ankle biters on a Romney campaign donor businessman Frank VanderSloot. Obama’s website called out seven other donors in April with claims of less-than-reputable dealings. Which of course is bullshit and an outright lie. A Nod to Weasel Zippers for the story

This column has already told the story of Frank VanderSloot, an Idaho businessman who last year contributed to a group supporting Mitt Romney. An Obama campaign website in April sent a message to those who’d donate to the president’s opponent. It called out Mr. VanderSloot and seven other private donors by name and occupation and slurred them as having “less-than-reputable” records.

Mr. VanderSloot has since been learning what it means to be on a presidential enemies list. Just 12 days after the attack, the Idahoan found an investigator digging to unearth his divorce records. This bloodhound—a recent employee of Senate Democrats—worked for a for-hire opposition research firm.

Now Mr. VanderSloot has been targeted by the federal government. In a letter dated June 21, he was informed that his tax records had been “selected for examination” by the Internal Revenue Service. The audit also encompasses Mr. VanderSloot’s wife, and not one, but two years of past filings (2008 and 2009).

Mr. VanderSloot, who is 63 and has been working since his teens, says neither he nor his accountants recall his being subject to a federal tax audit before. He was once required to send documents on a line item inquiry into his charitable donations, which resulted in no changes to his taxes. But nothing more—that is until now, shortly after he wrote a big check to a Romney-supporting Super PAC.

Two weeks after receiving the IRS letter, Mr. VanderSloot received another—this one from the Department of Labor. He was informed it would be doing an audit of workers he employs on his Idaho-based cattle ranch under the federal visa program for temporary agriculture workers.

This reminds me of the Gibson Guitar investigation and raid. Just because they backed the GOP and their business competitor was a democratic donor, they were hounded by the DOJ for some bullshit vague law that the DOJ deemed the guitar company had violated.

It has come out that Juszkiewicz is a Republican donor, while the CEO of one of his principal competitors, C.F. Martin & Company, is a Democratic donor. Martin reportedly uses the same wood, but DOJ hasn’t raided them, leading to speculation that the Obama administration is sending a warning to Republican businessmen that they had better not oppose his re-election, lest they face criminal investigations. Normally such speculation would not be credible, but Eric Holder has politicized the Department of Justice to a point where such questions must be taken seriously.  A Nod to Powerline for the archived article.

What kind of shady backroom politics is this? How can Obama think that this kind of abuse of power is not an impeachable offense? There has to be a paper trail for these decisions to attack Americans who have done nothing but….well…being Americans and donating according to their beliefs.

This is not an executive administration, this is a “regime” using the executive branch to punish those whom they find out of line or bothersome. It is the Chicago way! A Nod to Weasel Zippers for the article.

(CNSNews.com) – The administration’s decision to end agreements with law enforcement agencies in Arizona just hours after the Supreme Court’s June 25 ruling on the state’s immigration law was not a political move, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton told lawmakers Tuesday.
Under section 287 (g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, state and local law enforcement forces can partner with ICE to enforce immigration laws in their jurisdictions. Immediately following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Arizona Senate Bill 1070, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suspended 287 (g) programs with the state’s law enforcement agencies.

The landmark decision deemed most of SB 1070’s provisions unconstitutional, but upheld the provision allowing Arizona law enforcement to request documentation from individuals suspected to be in the United States illegally.

During a hearing Tuesday of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on border and maritime security, vice-chairman Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.) asked Morton about the decision to suspend 287 (g) agreements in the state.

“I find it a little concerning that you recently gotten rid of the 287(g) agreement with Arizona state and local law enforcement agencies,” Quayle said. “What is the reasoning behind it? Why pick Arizona as the sole one right now, to actually remove a program that, you said, was an essential component of DHS’s comprehensive immigration enforcement strategy?”

With the lawsuit filed by the DOJ against Sherrif Joe now official, I think it is time for Congress to get official on Eric Holders ass.
One man does his job and does it very well, much to the chagrin of illegals and criminals in his county.
The other man is a complete and utter failure at his job. I say this because if you are the MMFIC of the United States Department of Justice, you are supposed to be demanding justice for everyone, but as you can see with Gibson Guitar, Fast and Furious, and now suing Sheriff Joe, he is only interested going after anyone that does not agree with the current administration. Is it a coincidence do you think that Arizona passed immigration reform, and Sherrif Joe found Obama’s birth certificate to be a forgery through his “Cold Case Posse” and is now under attack from the Obama regime, I think not.

This character flaw alone should get him fired, but the Fast and Furious debacle should get him prison time. This all goes back to Chicago style politics, and we as a nation had better remember that come November, or we will be in for far worse than what we have already witnessed, and if so, let the revolution begin.

The Justice Department announced Thursday that it has sued Arpaio, his office and Maricopa County for civil rights violations, including what it says is the long-standing racial profiling of Latinos.

“At its core, this is an abuse of power case involving Sheriff Arpaio and a sheriff’s office that disregarded the Constitution, ignored sound police practices and did not hesitate to retaliate against perceived critics in a variety of unlawful ways,” said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, at a press conference in Phoenix where the lawsuit was filed.

 A defiant Sheriff Joe Arpaio is preparing to tell President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder later today there is “no way” he will turn over the management of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to the Justice Department despite the threat of a federal lawsuit.

 “Clean your own house, Eric Holder, before you come trying to clean mine,” Arpaio said today in a telephone interview with WND.

As WND has reported, the Justice Department has refused to produce evidence substantiating the allegations against Arpaio, insisting that the allegations themselves are sufficient to demand a remedy.

“It’s ironic, don’t you think,” Arpaio said, “that Eric Holder refuses to comply with congressional subpoenas to deliver to Congress the information about his management of the Justice Department, but the Justice Department has no hesitation to make public their complaints about me despite the fact those allegation have never been proved to be true?”

 

Black Panthers Mission Statement

Black Panthers Mission Statement

Comments 3 comments

As I posted earlier about Al Sharpton stirring up the hornets nest of hate. This Trayvon Martin incident is another example of division in America. And it is being embraced by those on the left with that goal in mind. As you know Sal Alinsky wanted to radically divide America by whatever means possible and when a tragedy of this kind happens the left thinks of it as an opportunity, not the sad tragedy that it is.

The New Black Panthers have put a $10,000 bounty on Mr. Zimmerman, the accused killer, so they can bring their own kinda justice, ( which I assume is some kind of mob violence on the man), figuring this is what America does now. Kind of ironic don’t you think? It has not been that long ago that a number of people organized and threatened or carried out their own form of justice. They wore colors and patches just Like the Black Panthers, only the wore white hoods. Isn’t it ironic, don’t ya think?

Anywho, I checked the Black Panthers website to see what the they were saying to “their people”. I didn’t find any news or updated info. What I did find was their mission statement, and I must say they have lofty demands. I am not going to post all of the demands, just a sampling of a few. Check out the link at the end of the post and you can read the whole thing.

2. WE WANT FULL EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR PEOPLE. We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every person employment or a guaranteed income.

Oh, that would work out nice now would it not. All of our government jobs held by a certain group with a socialist agenda……oh, wait,….damn.

3. WE WANT AN END TO THE ROBBERY BY THE CAPITALISTS OF OUR BLACK AND OPPRESSED COMMUNITIES. We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. We will accept the payment in currency.

I know where we can send them for their forty acres, starts with an Afgan and ends with stan. They will have to fight for the mules.

5. WE WANT DECENT EDUCATION FOR OUR PEOPLE THAT EXPOSES THE TRUE NATURE OF THIS DECADENT AMERICAN SOCIETY. WE WANT EDUCATION THAT TEACHES US OUR TRUE HISTORY.

Thought they already have that. Any African American that I know of have more opportunities than most for a higher education.

6. WE WANT COMPLETELY FREE HEALTH CARE FOR All BLACK AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE. We believe that the government must provide, free of charge, for the people, health facilities which will not only treat our illnesses, most of which have come about as a result of our oppression.

Obambam is working on that for ya.

9. WE WANT FREEDOM FOR ALL BLACK AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE NOW HELD IN U. S. FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, CITY AND MILITARY PRISONS AND JAILS.

10. WE WANT LAND, BREAD, HOUSING, EDUCATION, CLOTHING, JUSTICE, PEACE AND PEOPLE’S COMMUNITY CONTROL OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY.

An America divided? Sure look that way to me, and the Obama Administration embraces it.
Obama Admin Blocks Texas Voter ID Laws…Says It Descriminates Aginst Hispanics

Obama Admin Blocks Texas Voter ID Laws…Says It Descriminates Aginst Hispanics

Comments 8 comments

So the Department of Justice has blocked Texas voter ID laws. What happened to states being able to run their own state? The problem is Eric Holder is Obama’s bitch, hispanics can’t vote without showing proof of identification therefore they would not be able to vote for Obama, and that my friends is unacceptable to the Obama administration. So you send your little ankle biter Holder in to stop all voter ID laws. It is the most transparent attempt by the Obama camp to make sure he gets the votes of people who may or may not be legal to vote in this country, or people who are living off the government and would like for that to continue.

I have to show ID for damn near everything. That is what responsible Americans do. To be legal to drive you need a driver’s license, you need to show said license when stopped by police, using a credit card, renting a car, getting a plane ticket, a passport, or applying for a job. That is the few that come to mind, I am sure there are many more. So how come that small, easy to get, piece of plastic identification is so hard for some to get? Maybe they are not the people we want voting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s civil rights division has objected to the new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas, saying many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.

The department says the state has failed to show that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect.

In a letter to Texas officials, the Justice Department says Hispanic voters in Texas are as much as 120 percent more likely than non-Hispanic voters to lack a driver’s license or personal state-issued photo ID.

No shit Sherlock. Emphasis mine.
