Reflections From a Murky Pond

On Wednesday, January 11, 2012 the US Supreme Court delivered a well-deserved spanking to Obama’s boy, Eric Holder. In an unanimous decision the SCOTUS informed the worthless and murderously criminal Holder – and his overseer at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. – that, despite the Obama Regime’s best efforts, the Constitution is still the highest law in the land and it includes the right of religious freedom.

In the case of Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC the SCOTUS Justices rendered a blunt 9-0 ruling that the Obama Regime does not have the right or privilege to tell a religious institution who may or may not be in their clergy nor under what terms they onboard or offboard such ministers and/or priests, overruling and reversing the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals’ early decision.

The interest of society in the enforcement of employment discrimination statutes is undoubtedly important. But so too is the interest of religious groups in choosing who will preach their beliefs, teach their faith, and carry out their mission. When a minister who has been fired sues her church alleging that her termination was discriminatory, the First Amendment has struck the balance for us. The church must be free to choose those who will guide it on its way.

The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed.

It is so ordered.

– Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.
Writing for the Court

So, for now, the shades of the Founding Fathers are smiling. The Supreme Court unanimously slapped down the Obama Regime’s attempt to violate the 1st Amendment and Americans’ freedom of religion.

South Carolina has problem. Eric Holder’s DoJ, through its Civil Rights division, announced that it would block a new South Carolina law that required voters to show a photo ID when casting a vote.

In a letter to South Carolina’s government, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Thomas Perez called the state law—which would require voters to present one of five forms of photo ID at the polls—a violation of Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Overall, he noted, 8.4% of the state’s registered white voters lack photo ID, compared to 10% of nonwhite voters.

Identifying SC’s problem is quite easy. It’s not the law and it’s not the ID requirements. It’s Obama’s boy, Eric Holder’s racism and the Obama Regime’s desperate attempt to change South Carolina’s active electorate into something they perceive as more favorable to Obama and his Liberals.

South Carolina’s Problem Is Holder

8.4% of SC’s White voters vs. 10% of non-White voters lack any of the forms of ID accepted under the law, one of which is provided free of charge – not exactly a gaping chasm, even by the false standards of disproportional effect. Yet Eric Holder and his cronies think it’s worthy of their attack.

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.
