The Audacity Of Ineptitude
Did you ever watch the TV show “Cops”?
Don’t hold me to it, but “Cops” may have been the first true television reality show. It’s been on the air a long time and folks just can’t seem to get enough of it.
A camera crew goes on patrol with the men of women of law enforcement recording them as they do their best to uphold and enforce the law. Invariably they will track down some black guy and begin questioning him about his activities and listen in amused amazement as the guy being questioned spouts some ridiculous gibberish, acting as if he was an expert on the law. The only problem of course is that his ranting doesn’t even come close to the facts, the truth or the law.
Did you watch the House Judiciary Committee hearing of Obama’s legal expert Attorney General Eric Holder?
Except for the lack of flashing squad car lights it was pretty much the same thing.
When asked if he had actually read the new Arizona illegal immigration law, this leader of Obama’s legal braintrust, the Attorney General of the United States of America, the man who had spent an entire weekend damning the law and all those involved in its passage on just about every news show available to him (except Fox News of course), admitted that he had not.
Eric Holder, the man who early in his term as Attorney General had no problem condemning America as “a nation of cowards”, spoke on each of the major networks new programs with all faux compassion he could muster, unequivocally stating that the new Arizona law was a danger to not only illegal immigrants but to all Americans and our very way of life. He made those comments knowing full well that he had no idea what the law said. He spoke at length about the likelihood that the Obama administration would sue in federal court to abolish this law, and he did that as well completely ignorant of what the law contained. He admitted on the news shows that the law was not racially motivated, but added that we were entering a “slippery slope” toward racial profiling. How could he possibly make a statement like that when a few days later he admitted to the members of the House Judiciary Committee that, while he “glanced” at the law, he never actually read it? It was pointed out to him that the entire law is only 10 pages long. It couldn’t have taken a man who had an entire weekend to condemn it more than a few minutes to actually read it. The unmitigated gall of this finger pointing political hack is absolutely astounding. He had to know after his incendiary comments that he would be asked about it. He could have read all 10 pages during the limo ride from his office to Capitol Hill.
There is no question that Barack Obama has certainly brought a culture of “Change” to Washington. And the “Change” he has brought was on full display when this neophyte president’s equally amateurish Attorney General embarrassed himself, his boss and the entire American legal system by his remarkably inane and uninformed answers.
Holder has done nothing but fan the partisan flames of liberal separatism. So in that sense he is following the Obama administrations playbook to a tee. Likeminded liberal politico’s from around the country are jumping onboard the Obama “Culture War Express” and cutting off all ties with all things Arizona. Never mind that the damage they are doing will be felt most by the very people they are claiming to support. Los Angeles pulled $8 million out of the Arizona economy by banning all travel for city business to Arizona. Other cities with equally clueless city counsels are threatening to do the same.
Do you think this boycott of Arizona is going to do harm to an inanimate state or the politicians that rule over it? Or will this loss of travel dollars be felt most by the working poor who make a living in travel and hospitality industry in Arizona?
All I can say to AG Holder is thanks. Thanks for pulling back the curtain on this inept administration and showing a “nation of cowards” what they actually voted for.
Now, let’s see what a “nation of cowards” can do with that enlightening information this coming November.
Arizona, Barack Obama, eric holder, immigration
