Reflections From a Murky Pond

As all Americans know, or should know, by now, that Obama’s favorite “Blacktivist” isn’t his junkyard dog, Al Sharpton; it’s the more presentable seeming creature he installed as our nation’s Attorney General, Eric Holder.

Holder is Obama’s favorite because he doesn’t have to hold rallies or marches; his Afrocentric racism can be enacted directly through his corruption and debasement of our nation’s laws and law enforcement agencies, as Americans have seen before.

Eric Holder is, after the all, the the one who refused to prosecute the Black hate group, the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation, even when the case was already “won” be default do to their refusal to show up at the court, because they were “his people.”

This subhuman thug-in-a-suit hasn’t stopped with that bit of race-based treason though. Now he wants to ensure that his people are the police force even though they’re abjectly unqualified to be so by any objective measurements.

The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.

It’s a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.

Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees.  The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.

Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.

The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%.  That’s the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.

“It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community,” said Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane.  “It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation.”

“The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,” agreed Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward.

The D.O.J. and Civil Service Board declined Dayton’s News Source’s repeat requests for interviews.  The lower standards mean 258 more people passed the test. The city won’t say how many were minorities.

That’s really what it comes down to isn’t it? Blacktivists like Holder and the White ethno-guiltists known colloquially by the pejorative, Liberals are the bulk of true racists remaining in America. They are utterly unconcerned by the content on one’s character, being solely concerned with the color of people’s skin.

Thankfully and surprisingly only that it was reported upon by the media, there is dissent with this cultural treason among at least some of the Black Community.

Zachary Williams is a 21-year-old black Wayne High School grad who wants nothing more than to be a Dayton police officer or firefighter.

He’s one of 225 black applicants who took the November police entrance exam now at the center of a dispute between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice.

His test results are pending the Justice Department’s demand that the city lower its passing score for a police exam to allow for a larger pool of black applicants, while the city argues it is trying to ensure it hires the most qualified candidates.

Williams said he understands what the Justice Department is trying to accomplish, but he thinks it’s the wrong method and it’s keeping him from achieving his dream.

“You can’t blame the city for the lack of diversity,” Williams said. “This isn’t your normal 9 to 5 job and you have to want it. I don’t want to be in a department where I was hired because of my skin color. I want it because I earned it.”

Community leaders agree with Williams and said the Justice Department’s method stigmatizes blacks.

The only question remaining to Americans is what to do about Holder. There is no viable legal solution except trying not to allow Obama – Holder’s “overseer” – to be re-elected in 2012 and it is not even close to a certainty that this goal can be achieved, especially with Obama being essentially guaranteed the 95%+ of the Black vote, and a majority of the other non-White voting blocks support for no other reason than his being not White.

The above is not technically true. We could ensure that with certainty that Obama is not re-elected but it require the broad use of the same tactics that Holder’s people tried in 2008.

No, if Americans are to answer the question of Eric Holder with certainty, we’re going to have to step outside of the overly comfortable realm of legal recourse and accept the consequences of our patriotism.

Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down. 😉

In the wake of numerous state governments taking actions that were perceived to be to the detriment of public school teachers many teachers abandoned their classrooms and took to the streets in protest. They did not receive the response from the American people that they hoped for and expected. This left them angry and perplexed; they were left wondering, “Why the scorn?”

Teachers Protest Spending Cuts & Union Busting

These teachers’ confusion and shock over the wide-spread scorn and derision they recieved is strong evidence that even supposedly educated people can and will exhibit egregious levels of ignorance when they’re forced to deal with subjects or situations that attack their comfortable and self-serving preconceptions and/or delusions.

It shouldn’t come as a shock to these teachers that they recieved scorn from many Americans when they drew attention to themselves with their protests. The reasons for it are well-known and manifold, some of which are summarized below in no particular order:

• US Public Education System Is A Failure
• Antagonism Between Families And System
• Rejection Of Liberalism
• Collective Guilt & Punishment
• Lack Of Accountability
• Teacher Are Overpaid

Whether or not any or all of these issues are completely accurate and true or not and whether or not it is fair and just to apply the blame for them equally to all members of the teaching profession is immaterial. Perception is often more important, pragmatically speaking, than substance and these are all well-known perceptions.

Universal suffrage has not served America well. It was a foolish dream to think that it would once the masses learned that they could vote themselves “bread and circuses.”

This idea that most all titularly adult American citizens should be granted their franchise without any regard for any sort of merit or flaw whatsoever is an idea that reached fruition in 1965. It’s done little but harm since then.

It is past time for America to put this damaging foolishness behind us and to recommence correctly thinking of suffrage or enfranchisement as the privilege to be earned and a duty to be exercised instead of a right to enjoyed by any and all.

Currently American law states that no US citizen having attained the age of 18 years can be denied their franchise due to their religion, race, gender, age, or failure to pay taxes or fees. These are all laudable provisions of the law because not a single one of those criteria has anything to due with personal merit or the ability of the person in question to responsibly exercise their franchise.

There are still a plethora of means by which we can regulate suffrage in order to ensure a baseline competence and responsibility within the electorate, all of which are based upon non-discriminatory displays or proofs of merit.

One should always strive to be honest in one’s arguments. Most importantly, one should be honest with their self about the nature of their arguments on any topic.

This does not, in this case, mean that one should not deceive those that they argue with. It means that one should not lie to themselves about what their underlying position on an issue in contention is.

When engage in an argument over any issue of substance one should always strive to be cognizant of what one’s aims truly are, irrespective of what tools of debate one uses upon others. This is especially true when one has a measurable chance of winning the argument and enacting or preventing change to a subject or system.

The above is not just mere philosophy or some exercise in moral rectitude; it is a matter of pragmatic necessity. If one is not honest with one’s self about what is desired, it is possible, probable even in a more complex, real world scenario, to completely win the argument and not come close to achieving the goals one actually desires.

In 2008 then-Senator Barack Obama ran a successful campaign again his lame duck predecessor, President George W. Bush, largely focusing on the “evils” of President Bush’s methods of prosecuting the War on Terror.

Since his election, however, President Obama has had to quietly renege on his not-quite-promises to change how America defended itself, its interests, and its allies and has had continue as Bush started.

Sadly for Obama, there reaches a point where one cannot do things quietly and cannot easily find someone else to blame for having to make hard, dirty, and imperfect decisions because necessity’s cold wisdom demands them and allows no alternatives.

On Monday, March 7, 2011, President Obama issued an Executive Order reauthorizing the military commissions to prosecute alleged terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States will resume using military commissions to prosecute alleged terrorists held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility.

The announcement said the Obama administration remains committed to closing the controversial detention facility, but will rescind its previous suspension on bringing new charges before military commissions.

The commissions are military proceedings rather than trials in civilian courts. In an executive order accompanying his announcement, Obama also authorized prosecuting Guantanamo detainees in U.S. criminal courts, when appropriate.

Obama previously pledged to close the Guantanamo Bay facility within a year of taking office in January 2009. However, it remains open today due to legal complexities involving the status of some detainees and congressional opposition to holding trials for high-profile suspects in U.S. criminal courts.

Shortly after Obama’s announcement, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the withdrawal of his prior suspension of new charges before military commissions.

Crow is never a tasty meal and having serve yourself up steaming platter of it and choke it down while in public is one of least pleasant things any person may have to do in the course of his or her life. Being the POTUS and having to do it before the whole world at the start of your re-election campaign would have to make it even worse.

I could gloat and chortle over how this will hurt Obama in the 2012 elections. I choose not to do so. On the issue of Gitmo I believe Obama was sincere, ignorant but sincere.

I derive little or no pleasure in watching Obama have to publicly abrogate his principles under the harsh pressures of reality.

Frankly, this was the best decision that Obama has made since he was elected. It was not only the first he acted like an American President, it was the first time he truly acted like and American man.

This is not because using the military commissions to try these vermin is a decision I agree with, though I do. It’s not even that using the military commission is intrinsically a good thing either geopolitically or ethically. It is because all other options are worse and worse by orders of magnitude.
