Racial Politics

Is the Department of Justice (DOJ) practicing racial politics as a method to secure minority votes and to keep their base energized? Unfortunately, judging by their consistently biased legal stance towards, Muslims, Hispanics, and African-Americans - this appears to be the case.

The head of our space program (NASA), Charles Bolden, was quoted on Al Jazeera claiming that the number one objective of the department is to make Muslims “feel good” about their technological contributions to society. And remember, Obama has traveled the globe to many Muslim states apologizing for past American behavior. Meanwhile, Obama has taken a stern position against Israel placing the entire onus of Middle East peace in their hands. Obviously, the oblivious Obama has conveniently forgotten our military actions that freed Iraqi and Balkan state Muslims from genocidal tyrants. So is it that far fetch of a concept that the DOJ is doing the same thing? No it certainly is not! After all, they get their marching orders from the White House.

First, the Obama White House and DOJ ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay. This was purely a symbolic move to let the rest of the world know that there will be no more harsh interrogations of Muslim enemy combatants. In fact, the DOJ investigated any wrong doing by the Bush administration and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), for their roles in these harsh enhanced interrogation techniques. Although no wrongdoing was uncovered, it was once again a symbolic move to improve Muslim – U.S. relations. If this was not bad enough, the DOJ provided enemy combatants with Miranda rights giving them rights equal to American citizens and more rights than our own military personal. This ruling led directly to the DOJ’s decision to hold the trial of Khalid Sheikh Muhammed (KSM) and 4 other conspirators of the 9/11 attacks in a civilian court in New York City. The DOJ also ruled their will be no more indefinite detention and military tribunals for any enemy combatants. Of course, due to the DOJ’s naivety on terrorist threats facing the United States, they were forced to retreat and rethink many of these rulings. Holder, and his cronies of pro Muslim staffers, clearly acted negligently without fully understanding the national security ramifications of their legal rulings.

The DOJ also made very biased decisions in the favor of African-Americans and Hispanics. First, the DOJ refused to file a lawsuit against the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN is being investigated in 14 states for filing thousands of fraudulent voter registration cards. They were also caught on tape supporting the illegal activities of individuals reaching out to their organization for help. Congress quickly recanted federal funding to the organization, which is in the process of rebranding itself. Despite this, the DOJ has not acted to investigate this organization. The DOJ was also quick to dismiss a case against four Black Panther members who were intimidating voters outside a Philadelphia precinct during the 2008 election.

And if all of this is not bad enough, the DOJ has also filed suit against Arizona and their illegal immigration policy. Although the White House called the Arizona law discriminatory and a violation of Hispanics civil rights, the lawsuit fails to make any of these claims. The lawsuit says Arizona has no standing to pass immigration laws that trump federal laws based on the Constitutions supremacy clause. First, the Arizona law is merely enforcing federal law and secondly, why hasn’t the DOJ filed suit against sanctuary locales and states that have lenient immigration laws? The reason is simple; they are not consistently enforcing the law.

And let’s not forget how the DOJ has turned a blind eye to the ObamaCare healthcare reform legislation that is placing arguably unconstitutional mandates on Americans. Nearly half the states in the country have filed suit against this law, but the DOJ has ignored these concerns. If they are confident the legislation is Constitutional, then why don’t they let the Supreme Court decide? The reason is simple, they are not sure it is legal. This legislation is important to the DOJ because it could influence a high percentage of minorities requiring medical insurance to vote for Democrats in the upcoming election.

Yes, the DOJ is practicing the progressive theory of biased and overcompensated equality towards minorities. In essence, we are all not equal in the eyes of the law, minorities are given exceptions. If the National Rifle Association (NRA) was suspected of voter fraud, you can bet the DOJ would be front and center filing a suit. If Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan were intimidating voters, the DOJ would rightfully file a suit. When four Navy Seals were wrongly accused of using unnecessary force when capturing a Muslim terrorist, they did not receive the same Miranda Rights as KSM who is responsible for killing three thousand Americans. No, they were tried, and yes acquitted, in a military tribunal. These are a few instances, out of hundreds, of the DOJ practicing racial discrimination hypocrisy.
