There I said it. At least in the headline I said it.
Not convinced?
Fine Ill say it again: I blame Eric Holder and Barack Obama for the assassinations of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.
And I blame New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio.
And Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Elizabeth Warren and the whole rotten Democrat Party that uses and abuses race ethnicity and gender to hide their own shortcomings.
A free society has many shortcomings but it also has the remedies to fix them if wed be patient.
But what can we expect when our president and the highest law enforcement officer of the landalong with the party that nurtures them-- routinely sides with criminals over the rest of us?
One would think that just out of a sense of self-preservation and common sense Holder and Obama would see that their grandstanding on Ferguson on Sanford and on issues of race ethnicity and gender would never end well.
For Ramos and Liu it had the worst of all possible endings. Unless the officers who were killed were white" Hispanic and white" Asian then I would say that police of color" have more to fear than anyone.
Sitting in a car wearing a uniform thats what they got shot for.
It wasnt the color of their skin but the color of their clothes that got them shot.
The shooting occurred around 2:45 p.m. as officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu sat in their patrol vehicle keeping watch over the Tompkins Houses" reports the Wall Street Journal as part of a crime-reduction effort launched in May following an uptick in shootings at city housing projects particularly those in Brooklyn police said."
They got shot protecting the very people the president says the police dont care about.
I blame Eric Holder and Barack Obama.
After all the noise about Tea Party violence which never happened you knew you just knew that liberals would finally kill a cop( or cops) out of the Ferguson affair and other racial lies they tell.
Its just karma to use a favorite liberal word.
Conservatives would say this instead: You will know them by their fruits.
As rotten as they are.
Heres the most troubling thing about Holder and Obamathe whole liberal-progressive complex but those two especiallyis that they lack the capacity for self-examination and growth. They lack the ability to reflect upon mistakes and take ownership for them.
And in this way Obamas presidency makes a lot of sense.
Successful people generally have the capacity to make adjustments to their thinking along the way; to deal with reality as it is not as one would have it be.
A case in point is the blue-ribbon crony style panel that is supposed to improve relations between cops and populations of color" that Obama just announced.
And if you didnt see THAT coming then youre colorblind.
The committee is a stacked deck of mostly professionals who make their living dealing with issues of race for liberals to pander on. Its just another attempt to community organize with an end result that winds up with votes for Democrats.
Instead of making real progress on real issues of racelike unemployment health poverty education divorce and the single biggest marker for poverty single motherhoodObama and Holder go for the cheap vote.
Uniquely in history these two black men had the opportunity to change the tenor to change the dialogue on race in this country.
And they have.
For this and other sins I blame them.
