Attorney General Eric Holder famously (if not tactfully) called America "a nation of cowards" when it comes to discussing race honestly. Which is why we're sure he'll appreciate our honesty in saying that his brand of racism is entirely unacceptable.
Holder recently defended his decision not to prosecute Black Panthers who were threatening white voters by saying that the uniformed, nightstick wielding thugs were "my people." And sticking to his theme, Holder is now bending the law to put a lot more Blacks into uniform, and not only equip them with nightsticks... but also tasers, revolvers, and shotguns.
Specifically, the Department of Justice found that the Dayton police department had too few African-Americans...because not enough of them could pass the basic entrance exams. It wasn't exactly a lofty bar: there are two tests, and passing only required scores of 66% and 72%...until Holder got involved and ordered them to lower the bar. Now, applicants can get in with scores of 58% and 63%, which previously would have been an "F" and a "D." The policy change is so ludicrous, even the head of Dayton's NAACP is saying it's a bad idea and refuses to support it.
According to Dayton's president of the Fraternal Order of Police, "It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation." No - really?
But as this administration has shown time and time again...at the Fort Hood massacre, in promoting women in the military without battlefield experience, and now on the streets of Dayton...they believe "diversity" is much more important than life and death, not to mention the law.
An opinion which should be acceptable only to a nation of cowards.--
It seems a president's work is never done. At least, not by this president - who is largely ignoring the ongoing tragedy in Japan and the escalating carnage in Libya, but recently found time to kick off the government's "anti-bullying" campaign with heartrending tales from his own childhood.
At an event kicking off the new, taxpayer funded StopBullying.gov the alleged president says he "feels the pain of those who have been bullied." He then added, "I have to say, with big ears and the name that I have (Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama), I wasn't immune."
But frankly, we doubt his story. His ears weren't that freaking big and at the time he was living in Hawaii, where many kids have names like Kamehameha, Mekawiwi, and Pupuhahahahaha. No, if kids were going to tease him, it would more likely have been about being abandoned by a father who was a no-legged, alcoholic bigamist. Or perhaps kids might have mocked him for his odd habit of washing his feet five times a day. But since Obama didn't mention it, those things probably didn't happen.
So we think the president is probably just making things up to help support a noble (and well-funded) cause: anti-bullying.
Because seriously, who cares more about stopping bullying than a man who routinely calls conservatives ugly names...and has declared he's going to take our health insurance money or beat us up?

Despite Napolitano's assertion that the real threat to America comes from, oh, readers of Hope n' Change, it turns out that radical muslims with C4 explosives and a stinger missile can be a problem too. No doubt they're just angry from the bad old days when they were being unfairly profiled...Update 3/13/11 - This cartoon was plucked from the wayback machine for a couple of reasons. One is that Congress is finally having hearings about the potential (ha!) dangers of Islamic radicalism as it may relate to terror. Better very, very late than never.
The second reason is because Janet Napolitano has always been vocal about the dangers of "domestic terrorists," but had previously identified the likely suspects (per the link above) as Americans who are military veterans, who oppose abortion, oppose restrictions on firearms, oppose illegal immigration, are suspect of foreign regimes, fear Communism, are upset with the loss of American jobs, and who bemoan the "decline of U.S. stature in the world."
Thank goodness none of us fall into one of those crazy, radical categories, huh?
Meanwhile, the people who are the exact opposite of everything listed above just sent serious death threats to Wisconsin's Republican State Senators, perhaps inspired by the growing "climate of hate" woven by Michael Moore's declaration of war, and Jesse Jackson's call for revolution.
Where is your call for words that heal, Mr. Obama? What is Homeland Security doing about this, Ms. Napolitano? Oh wait...I guess if the death threats are coming from your side, it's okay. Never mind.-
