And now Gonzales is a New Socialist Man.
Weep for America, people, it’s already in the schools. As Stalin said, “we have your children...”

The Tank that the ATF and Holder used at Waco is sitting less than a mile North of my clinic in front of our American Legion building. I’m reminded of this SOB daily.

What would Eric Holder do with Elian Gonzalez now?
............................." It was then-Deputy Attorney General Holder who invented the legal cover for federal agents to forcibly enter the home of Elian Gonzalezs legal custodians, American citizens all, so he could be returned to the warm embrace of Castro in communist Cuba.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled that once the INS chose a guardian, the guardianship could not be changed. On Dec, 1, 1999, the INS asserted that Miami-based uncle Lazaro Gonzalez was now Elians legal custodian. Holder then decided on his own that the court ruling and the INS determination were both invalid and that Elian would be returned to his father in Cuba.
Holder even seemed to deny reality in this exchange in 2000 with FOX News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano.
Napolitano: Tell me, Mr. Holder, why did you not get a court order authorizing you to go in and get the boy?
Holder: Because we didnt need a court order. INS can do this on its own.
Napolitano: You know that a court order would have given you the cloak of respectability to have seized the boy.
Holder: We didnt need an order.
Napolitano: Then why did you ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for such an order if you didnt need one?
Holder: [Silence]
Napolitano: The fact is, for the first time in history you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it. ".................

That poor, poor child. Turned from a happy little boy surrounded by relatives into a resentful bitter mouthpiece for Castro’s communism.
I wonder how Elian’s father has coped, after being used so blatantly to deliver a political pawn to Castro in the form of his son?

From that same interview in post 6, Holder denied Elian was taken by force:
........................."Napolitano: The fact is, for the first time in history you have taken a child from his residence at gunpoint to enforce your custody position, even though you did not have an order authorizing it. When is the last time a boy, a child, was taken at the point of a gun without an order of a judge
Unprecedented in American history."
Holder: "He was not taken at the point of a gun."
Napolitano: "We have a photograph showing he was taken at the point of a gun."
Holder: "They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively...""................
He's a liar or totally incompetent (or both). Why this was never brought up at his confirmation hearing is beyond me.

And Waco.Yeah, there should be a special wing at a federal prison for all the vermin involved in the Waco massacre...
That event was my Waterloo...
Government forever changed in my eyes from that moment on....
Went from a benign, sometimes crazy stupid entity to a monster bent on control...

Before the government attack on the women and children at Waco, Hillary Clinton came to Texas to meet with Ann Richards, the governor. There is blood on Hillary’s hands, both old and new. Fuzzy photos of her as Grandma Clinton cannot erase that. “Out! Out! Damn spot!”

Also Holder was the one who spearheaded the pardoning of Marc Rich, who was the largest tax cheat in US History. He defrauded the US Taxpayers out of $42 Million. All he had to do was donate $400,000 to the Clinton Library to get his record expunged. Clinton and Holder should have been in jail for bribery on this.
