Charges brought against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense under the Bush administration have been dropped by the Obama Justice Department, FOX News has learned.

The charges stemmed from an incident at a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008 when three members of the party were accused of trying to threaten voters and block poll and campaign workers by the threat of force — one even brandishing what prosecutors call a deadly weapon.

The three black panthers, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were charged in a civil complaint in the final days of the Bush administration with violating the voter rights act by using coercion, threats and intimidation. Shabazz allegedly held a nightstick or baton that prosecutors said he pointed at people and menacingly tapped it. Prosecutors also say he “supports racially motivated violence against non-blacks and Jews.”

The complaint says the men hurled racial slurs at both blacks and whites.

A poll watcher who provided an affidavit to prosecutors in the case noted that Bartle Bull, who worked as a civil rights lawyer in the south in the 1960’s and is a former campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen.

In his affidavit, obtained by FOX News, Bull wrote “I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters.”

I don’t even know where to begin to comment on this.  Expect more is all I can say.  Expect ACORN or more groups like them to grow stronger. Expect Black Panthers or other similar White Hate Groups to grow stronger and even receive federal funding.  Expect more Military Votes to be tossed out. The new administration is going to try to get even for what they perceive to be 300 years of wrongs. The problem is that the people they are getting even with had nothing to do with it.

I bet this makes you real proud of America doesn’t it Michele?

Please read and consider what our Supreme Cout Justices are swearing to uphold
Constitution, Article 6 – Debts, Supremacy, Oaths

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath:
“I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

Upon reading the oath, it looks like the supreme court justices’ are NOT to be biased towards anyone. That would include people of their own racial background, sexual gender, or any other factor that would cause a justice to rule on anything other than the letter of the law. I also do not read in the oath that a justice should create laws from the bench. They should rule (pass judgment), based on the facts of the law disregarding everything except the law. While there may be cause for leniency from time to time in the court, it should be based on that individual rather than a special interest group of individuals.

No Wonder Chavez Loves Obama and the Socialist Democrats so much. The new bill just out of committee will make his offshore refineries incredibly profitable.

After one week of long hours and heated arguments,and many months of continued propaganda by the GE owned broadcast networks (CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, History Channel, SciFi, A&E) the House Energy & Commerce committee, on May 21, cleared the American Clean Energy & Security Act of 2009, by a 33 to 25 vote. Those backing the Bill claimed it would reduce global-warming pollution to 97% of 2005 levels by 2012, 80% by 2020, 58% by 2030, and 17% by 2050.

The final vote, was along political party lines with only one Republican joining Democrats in support of the climate change bill and four Democrats shifting to the Republican opposition.

Republicans generally (and rightly so) refer to it as an energy tax as the bill does nothing to address pollution or our national security. I want to repeat that statement because it sound so so unreal it just can’t be true. The Clean Energy and Security Act does nothing to reduce pollution and/or increase availability of energy and provides no security…..at all. In fact the bill reduces energy consumption (read that heating, cooling and transportation) by increasing cost so that the American families will be forced to cut back and our manufacturing base will continue to flee our shores because of energy cost.

Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss) said, “”I think of the whole cap-and-trade idea as a Ponzi scheme,” Continuing Taylor said, “I don’t like the idea that one factory is cleaner than it has to be so that another a factory is dirtier than it should be, because historically that factory that’s dirtier than it should be ends up in the South. … If the vote was today, I’d vote ‘no.’

“As this bill is now out there in the public domain, I think people will understand the extraordinary cost that this will impose to business and working families,” House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said yesterday. “And at the end of the day, that will be what will kill this bill.”

I certainly hope he is right. However, it is up to each of us to write and call our Senate and House representatives and voice our concerns. If we don’t stop this now, our freedoms and way of life will continue to erode under this oppressive administration. Join me in asking them to campaign against and vote no on the American Clean Energy & Security Act of 2009.

A U.S. government program empowering local police officers to enforce immigration laws undermines their efforts to maintain public safety, according to a report released on Wednesday.

Around 11.9 million mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants live and work in the United States, and Americans are sharply divided over what to do with them.

The report by the nonpartisan Police Foundation criticized aspects of the 287 (g) program run by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which deputizes officers from local police agencies to enforce immigration laws.

The study, drawing on input from focus groups and police and community representatives, argued that the program created mistrust between local police and immigrant communities.

“The cornerstone of the police operation is public safety, and that is eroded significantly when people are afraid of the police,” Hubert Williams, the president of the Police Foundation, said by telephone.

“Immigration enforcement (by local agencies) … has simply caused people to run and hide. They won’t talk to the police,” he added.

Gee I wonder why the illegal immigrants distrust the police? Could it be because of the word illegal? If they were not here and if we did not have to deal with their crime, the border states jails populations would be reduced by over 30% and our police force could go back to enforcing laws and investigating our home grown crimes. The Police Foundation could go back to mapping crime areas and get out of politics. Not to mention that the state budgets that have been in the news so much of late would be much closer to being balanced.

If Obama or any other politician wants my vote move the illegals out of our country and do away with Anchor Baby laws.

Want to know what the rest of America thinks?

It is past time that our government start listening to it’s citizens. We don’t want Illegals in our country period. That does not mean we are unreasonable. We understand there is a need or a guest worker program, they key being “guest worker”. We do not want their children to be considered Citizens of the US when the parents are here illegally or on a guest visa. We do not want to provide Free health care, education or government assistance. We are not mean, hateful or uncaring….. we simply cannot afford it any longer. If you don’t believe me ask someone living in CA.
