President Obama:
I am writing to you today with concern about the behavior of both the Attorney General of the United States and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security which smacks of mere political opportunism rather than rational, even-tempered administration of the law.
Mr. President, over the course of the last several months we have experienced at least three separate incidents of terrorism on our soil. Two of the perpetrators, the ones involving the mass shooting at Ft. Hood and the Christmas Day attempted airline bombing, were involved with a faction of the Eastern Islamic religion that idealizes hate, fear, and murder toward those of different beliefs which was a part of their motivation for their actions. This faction is intolerant of diversity to such a degree that they use it as a justification for carnage of decent and ordinary Americans, hardly unlike the motivations of groups from our recent past such as the KKK. Yet in spite of this intolerance that motivates them to violence, our Attorney General cannot bring himself to utter the phrase “Radical Islamic Extremist”. In addition to this he and Secretary Napolitano have weakened our defenses toward these kinds of people under the guise of respect for diversity that would be terrorists do not share regardless of the consequences.
If that is not enough, they have both recently condemned the immigration law passed in Arizona as racist and draconian without even reading it. Frankly, I am nearly as fed up with chaos on the southern border that Secretary Napolitano has only exacerbated by cancelling the border fence project as Arizonans are. I have seen news footage of lawless border towns that have been overrun by armed to the teeth human traffickers who run drugs and brothels constituted of teenage and pre-teen Mexican girls who are held there in slavery. I was shocked to see that such places can exist in the United States with authorities doing absolutely nothing about it. Surly the DHS Secretary and the Attorney General are aware of these havens of immigrant exploitation and bondage, but interpretation of their recent comments leads one to believe that it would be considered racist to liberate these people from the hellish conditions under which they live and protect both us and them from the state of complete lawlessness by sending them home and incarcerating the racketeers.
The stance taken by your administration on both of these issues, when taken together, demonstrate such a degree of incoherence with rational thought and our own values of diversity and respect for human rights as to render the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security derelict, incompetent and unfit for duty. I respectfully request that their resignations be tendered immediately and that they be replaced by those who are competent to execute our laws in effective, thoughtful and meaningful ways.
Well done!
The biggest problem with this administration is that they are obsessed with social justice over actual justice. This is centered on their world view that the Constitution is a horribly flawed document and that therefore the United States of America is basically evil. They, being smarter than the rest of us, feel an obligation to correct our mistakes rather than let us live as freely as the Founders intended. If you keep that in mind whenever you hear any member of the administration speak, it will all make sense.
Social justice is based on a lie made up by the politicians to describe the economic/market phenomia that occur as a result of the marriage between politics and enterprise.
In a truly comeptitve market it’s nearly impossible for employees to be “taken advantage of” to the point of being like slave labor. If they do it, they wouldn’t have employees for very long. But the political establishment has always been in bed with the big guys and they use their power of regulation to destroy price advantage for smaller firms and the effect on the employment market is striking, as well as on the broader economy.
Sarbanes-Oxley did an enormous amount of damage to the employment market, but then so did regulation and forced consolidation of the railroads back in 1907. The conditions that brought about SarbOx was just another case of large, connected companies doing as they pleased because they thought they could get away with it, and politicians being responsible for the mess turning on them and making some new law for the appearance of doing something about it.
The founders were not stupid men. They understood the economic affects of govt corruption, probably better than most and that had much to do with the inclusion of enumerated powers. They wanted the Fed govt to encourage the development of commerce by providing security, but have to stand far enough away from it that it wouldn’t be able to impose the the kind of mercantilism that they had been victims of, which we are now.
With this in mind, I’m not of the habit of trying to understand the illogical. I’d much rather speak truth to power and point out their own contradictions. Dems are so full of garbage it makes my head swim that anyone would ever vote for them.
My favorite example is Oregon's Hairdressers Law. No one may cut another hair for wage/profit/barter etc., unless they've completed a one year course in hair cutting offered only by certain '.gov licensed schools'.
Don't matter what states you are licensed in previously.
(Name one person who died from a bad haircut?)
Lordy, what a racket!
But the liberals here love it!!!!
Without disagreeing with you, I would also forward the idea that “social justice” is a concept that sounds really “fair”, but which substitutes the opinions of man on that subject for the truths of God. A person doesn’t have to go any deeper than the 10 Commandments to find the fallacies in the positions of the Left.
