What many have suspected has now been exposed as fact: the obama Justice Department is racially biased towards blacks. And they're not shy about
ruling that way.
KINSTON, N.C. - Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.
Say what?!?
The Justice Department’s ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their “candidates of choice” - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.
How thoughtful of the DOJ: 'since the poor unenlightened black folks can't think for themselves, we'll help them out.' Talk about patronizing...
Stephen LaRoque, a former Republican state lawmaker who led the drive to end partisan local elections, called the Justice Department’s decision “racial as well as partisan.”
The decision, made by the same Justice official who ordered the dismissal of a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia, has irritated other locals as well. They bristle at federal interference in this city of nearly 23,000 people, two-thirds of whom are black.
Others noted the absurdity of partisan elections since Kinston is essentially a one-party city anyway; no one among more than a half-dozen city officials and local residents was able to recall a Republican winning office here.
The measure appeared to have broad support among both white and black voters, as it won a majority in seven of the city’s nine black-majority voting precincts and both of its white-majority precincts.
So no republican has been elected in living memory, the majority of the citizens -- black and white -- are in favor of the proposal, but some dipshit bureaucrat in D.C. can overturn the results of a local election? Pray tell, why?
... before nonpartisan elections could be implemented, the city had to get approval from the Justice Department.
Kinston is one of the areas subject to provisions of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act, which requires the city to receive Justice Department approval before making any changes to voting procedures. Kinston is one of 12,000 voting districts in areas of 16 states, almost exclusively in the South, that the Voting Rights Act declared to have had a history of racial discrimination.
In a letter dated Aug. 17, the city received the Justice Department’s answer: Elections must remain partisan because the change’s “effect will be strictly racial.”
Oh my aching head...

Yhep! Still the same old USofA! Who started the last Civil War? Politicians! Who's busy starting the next Civil War? One guess.
Warning America: If the Global Economy goes into a tail spin and it starts looking like 1929 De Ja Vue all over again, your own sons and daughters are going to be aiming M-16's and artillery at you if we're still playing by the same rules we are today. Think about it.
Want to change the future? Vote for decent politicians, from Dog Catcher right up to the Top of the Heap. (Ohhhh... none of them should have a Law Degree either;-)

Someone needs to tell Warren that Lady Justice no longer looks the way her Great Granny did. Today she's a prostitute with a huge, Any-And-All drug addiction habit who always hustling cause she's LONG overdue for a fix. (She doesn't wear that long robe or the blindfold --unless you pay extra, she hawked the scales and sword ages ago, and she's got tatoos all over her over exposed body, she wears an orange wig on Sundays and a different color for every other day of the week; oh yes, her current pimp's name Holder, he sometimes goes by the handle Eric the Cleric;-)
