Will Eric Holder ever learn to be careful what he asks for?

Eric Holder, perhaps the worst, most corrupt attorney general in history, famously demanded Americans stop being cowardly and have a conversation about race. Well, in the aftermath of the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Christopher Lane, and now World War II hero Delbert Belton, I don't think he likes the frankness he is starting to get from whites and other nonblacks. I sense that a broad reconsideration of the role of race is underway, and that the end result will be that the taboos are crumbling surrounding discussion of the actual behaviors that lead to problems commonly ascribed to racism.

It is not main stream to be a white and racist for at least 20 years but black racism is mainstream. Also white racism is so far and few between now the left has Been resorting to fabricating it for years now in false flag operations. So no, holder won't like the results of an actual honest discussion on race; August 25, 2013 at 11:06 PM
bondmen said...: Dr. King spoke of the importance and significance of one's character over one's color. Today our feral government asks detailed race questions on every form or census and many of Dr. King's people ask for special favors and monetary reparations. I wonder when the good character to which Dr. King referred will surface and be exemplified in his community?; August 26, 2013 at 5:57 AM
Old Dog said...: I grew up in the Deep South (NC) with a Military Father who would kick anyones ass (mine especially) for anything he considered racist actions.

I am glad he is not here today to see the crap coming out of Holders office.

I predict that Holder will attempt to prosecute anyone having a "Honest" discussion of race relations in the US in some manner even if they have to use underhanded finacial means to do it!; August 26, 2013 at 5:58 AM
Roger said...: I believe that Eric Holder's first priority is covering his boss's butt. His second priority is ginning up as many racist non white votes that he and his corrupt department can motivate.
Between the two of them, they have made racial relations in this country worse than I have ever seen in the past 40 years.; August 26, 2013 at 8:15 AM
Ed said...: So, what happens when you judge people on the demonstrated content of their character, and it is found lacking, deficient or corrupt?

Would that be considered an example of the Law of Unintended Consequences?; August 26, 2013 at 10:08 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
