Holder: Should He Stay or Should He Go

Eric Holder, the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, is the first African-American to serve in this position. But who is he, and does he have a clue about what he's doing? You make the call.

How'd they find out?
Holder is from the Bronx, New York, where he went to Stuyvesant High School and Columbia College. He was a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, was a US attorney and also a Deputy Attorney of the US. He worked at the Covington and Burling law firm in Washington D.C. and in 1997 was the Deputy Attorney General under the lovely and talented Janet Reno.  Holder was the Senior legal advisor to B. Hussein Obama during his presidential campaign. 

 Holder's first controversy that I will address is when he was involved with a Bill Clinton decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boriqua Popular Army, which was categorized as a terrorist organization by the FBI.  Holder's clemency request was originally opposed by US Pardons Attorney Margaret Love in 1996m but in 1997, after there was no Love to be found, he proposed clemency to Clinton with a report from then US Pardons Attorney Roger Adams, whose opinion was neutral where Holder's was to allow for clemency of these terrorists. Clinton, feeling benevolent, granted clemency, which, under the circumstances, was unusual because the FBI, the federal prosecutor, and the victims of these 16 terrorists were against clemency.

Perhaps this can be explained by better understanding the Boriqua Popular Army, just in case they somehow got a bad reputation, or as they might say, "a bad rep."

The Boriqua Popular Army, aka Los Macheteros, or The Machete Wielders, was formed in Puerto Rico and they support PR's independence from "Colonial US rule." In 2007, one source reported they had about 5700 members, and many non-member supporters, perhaps even Holder, but there is no proof of that, other than his apparent support in court. The members of the Boriqua Popular Army pass the time writing letters to the government, reading law in order to make change, and helping old ladies cross the busy streets of San Juan before rescuing kittens from trees. Just kidding--they blow stuff up, attack US military targets, and commit armed robberies.
Their leader, fugitive Filiberto Ojeda Rios, died of a gun overdose in 2005. Holder, as far as we know, did not attend his funeral.

February 2009, Holder, a brave black man, gave his famous speech during Black History Month in which he called the US, "a nation of cowards," when it came to dealing with racial issues. This should explain why slavery was abolished, blacks have the right to vote, go to school, hold any job they are qualified to hold, and become President of the United States, and why Saudi Arabia doesn't even allow women to drive cars, go to school, hold any job, etc. Forget what they do to Jews, Bibles, and Christians trying to build churches in Saudi Arabia. Obama, in his infinite political wisdom toward the next election said of Holder's remark, "I think it's fair to say that if I had been advising my attorney general, we would have used different language." Doesn't this make you smile and realize that our president has an incredible set of brass balls? How much stronger could a president possibly rebuke his AG? How indirect can he get? "Are you hungry?" "Well, I'm not starving."

May 2009: The DoJ ended a civil suit originally begun with the Bush administration against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation due to their conduct during the 2008 election. Two men of the New Black Panthers were dressed in paramilitary uniforms, one holding a club, and both yelling racial insults at white voters and blocking their entrance to the voting booths inside the building.  None of the defendents appeared in court, but hey, why inconvenience them since they figured that Holder was going to drop the charges due to "lack of evidence." Evidence evidently doesn't include Youtube video that half the country viewed shortly after this disgusting incident in which the civil liberties of people were taken away from them. Some contend that the real reason Holder dropped the charges was because the DoJ is unwilling to prosecute minorities over civil rights violations.  In fact, during a House subcommittee discussing these issues, Holder argued that his behavior with the New Black Panther Party was not comparable to historical voter intimidation against minorities, "When you compared what people endured in the South in the '60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subject to that with what happened in Philadelphia . . . I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people."  So if he sees any group that's smaller than all of America as "my people" then why is he a United States of America Attorney General?
Does he CAIR?

And now we have the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) an unindicted co-conspirator to the Holy Land Foundation trials, being let off the hook by Holder. He has refused to prosecute and this keeps the US open for further terrrorist attacks. 

CAIR has been shown to be an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the US. The documents recovered by the feds prove that CAIR, ISNA, MAS, and many more Islamic organizations are terror-tied in this country. But Holder, who in November 2009, spoke at a dinner for a group of community organizations, one of which was CAIR, and it appears he is siding with the wrong people. 

It's obvious that Holder refuses to do his job, but the latest story to float to the top of the toilet is Operation Fast and Furious, or Gunwalker. You are probably aware that ATF officials have been allowing the "bad guys" to buy illegal weapons for the Mexican drug gangs and that the DoJ is part of the equation. Since the start of the operation, ATF Special Agent, Brian Terry, was killed with one of the weapons sold to the gangs. Since it's inception, about 150 agents have been shot at or killed.

Gunwalker violates Federal Law Title 18 Section 922 that states that only a licensed dealor or manufacturer can engage in interstate or foreign firearms commerce. It's also a federal offense for a person to buy a weapon for another (straw buyer). Since this operation began, several agents have resigned from the ATF, and Special Agent John Dodson blew the whistle, but nothing was done about it and he was told to keep his mouth shut.

Did Holder know about Operation Gunwalker? Maybe; but if he didn't, and he is the Attorney General, what does that say about his competency? See the photo to the left . . . the far left.
