Does the rule of law meaning anything to the Zero crowd?
When a ground squirrel used to run across the road in front of our car, my wife would say,”they are so fast, 99 out of a hundred get across without getting hit”.
The Muslim in chief might have used up 99.
Right. This “investigation” will be stretched out til 2016..and then will be quietly closed.
We now officially have a one party state that can ignore, silence or imprison the opposition.
Will this really bother Obama, or will his Democrat pawns in the Senate just vote not to hold a hearing? After all, they’ve never seen so much pork in their lives. Would they want to risk losing any of it?
Just about all the news sources mentioned are conservative niches, with the exception of these: “The Chicago Tribune, the Sacramento Bee and the Washington Post, among other newspapers, have produced major stories about the case.”
But what kind of stories? I’m willing to bet that most people haven’t heard a thing about this business.
Nothing will happen unless the Democrats and the Media decide to put aside their selfish wishes and act for the good of the country. How likely is that?
Theres something big behind the whole Americorps/ACORN thing. The democrats are far more desperate to fund them than is normal even for democrats and Obama is awfully desperate to cover it all up.
I just can’t help but feel that there is something here that will go off like a nuke in the center of the democrat party.
But Walpin, now in his late 70s, is a more intriguing figure than Lewis ever was. A hard-line conservative with a résumé that dates back to the early '60s, he was a curious choice for a position that requires dispassionate judgment and nonpartisan fairness. Although he developed a reputation as a highly capable litigator at a major New York City law firm, he has devoted much of his life to the causes of the extreme right, in particular as a trustee of the Federalist Society and as a director of the Center for Individual Rights, a right-wing law foundation devoted to overturning affirmative-action programs.Typical Dem move...if you can't dispute the facts, smear 'em with the race card. He even managed to play the torture meme as well.He appears to have continued acting in those capacities even after his appointment as inspector general. In November 2007, for instance, he delivered a speech at a Federalist Society function titled "Inherent Presidential Wartime Powers -- The Wiretap Program is Constitutional." Then in March 2008, he wrote an Op-Ed essay for the New York Daily News berating human rights lawyers at Yale Law School for pursuing a legal action against John Yoo, the former Justice Department official famous for his memoranda justifying torture of terror suspects.
Media profiles of Walpin now often mention his nasty quip at a November 2005 luncheon when he introduced Mitt Romney, then governor of Massachusetts, as the leader of a state dominated by "the modern-day KKK ... the Kennedy-Kerry Klan," a reference to the Bay State's U.S. senators, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. Joking about Catholic politicians belonging to the Klan is always obnoxious, but Walpin was guilty of worse than poor taste.
Aside from its ferocious pursuit of lawsuits against affirmative action, the Center for Individual Rights, where Walpin served as director for many years, has displayed an enduring attraction to academic racism, or at least to its practitioners. That attraction led CIR to represent both Michael Levin, the notorious racist professor at the City University of New York, and Linda Gottfredson, an obscure University of Delaware professor whose negative research on African-Americans has made her a heroine to racial extremists. To finance this kind of litigation, CIR accepted thousands of dollars from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation dedicated to proving that blacks are racially inferior to whites and Asians -- in short, the intellectual equivalent of the KKK.
For that reason and many others, Walpin didn't fit very well within the Obama administration. He served at the pleasure of the president, who may well have taken some pleasure in ousting him -- and need make no apology if he did.
Salon: An Obama "scandal" as phony as Whitewater
Hopefully they will find ACORN is somehow involved.

You forgot to add AARP to that list and the 260+ other groups located at one particular address:

It's the old “why do you beat your wife” comment in the middle of any argument, then the person being accused, says “what are you talking about - I don't beat my wife, how ridiculous”. Then the accused spends the rest of their time defending themselves against the false accusation and the real argument/facts are lost in the shuffle. LOL.
“Does the rule of law meaning anything to the Zero crowd?”
They are the ‘rule of law’.
I lived in Massachusetts for two years in the 1980’s and it was the racially segregated—as per schools and communities—at that time than the Deep South.
However, I think Walpin was referring to the Irish-dominated, Boston-based, Democrat political machine sometimes referred to as the “Irish Mafia.” This 150-year-old political syndicate is omnipotent in much of New England. It doesn't get the attention Chicago or New Orleans get but it is equal or worse in institutionalized public corruption.
I just have a hunch that somewhere in the mess is the link between all the money funded to these groups and a backdoor of how the money if finding it’s way back into the dems hands! NO proof mind you just a feeling.
Huh? I thought it was "The Messiah" who had "lost confidence" in him? Don't try that throw someone else under da bus trick again.
Historically, communists/Marxists define "sanity" as embracing the tenets of communism. Anyone who disagrees with communism is "confused" and "disoriented", in need of "re-education". For confirmation all one has to do is look at the history of the U.S.S.R. In short, since they reject divine authority they subsume the role, setting themselves up as the final arbiters of truth.
Does the rule of law meaning anything to the Zero crowd?Sure.
(not kidding)
“I won.”
Yeah..... I forgot about that.
That arrogant twerp is like 'the kid who owned the baseball'.
(his rules or he takes the ball and runs home to mommy)
