I think the Justice Department’s decision to drop charges against voter fraud during the last election sends a chilling message about civil liberties. This shows very clearly that the Obama administration doesn’t care about civil rights and probably never did. This is a deep and horrible betrayal of all of those who ever thought that Barack Obama was on the same side as those who truly believe in civil rights.
Obama supporters need to ask themselves how their president could support voter intimidation. Obama supporters need to ask themselves how their president could support voter fraud. Obama supporters need to ask themselves how the Obama administration’s leniency toward black thugs who intimidate voters is any different from the leniency of Jim Crow states toward white thugs who did exactly the same thing in the name of the Ku Klux Klan.
Yes, there are those who will claim there is some vast conspiracy by white women in cahoots with dark skinned people to destroy western civilization, and such conspiracy theorists will always see the Obama administration as illegitimate. Still, one should hope there are leftists and liberals who can see the horrible precedent that the Justice Department’s decision sets. Today it may be the New Black Panthers. Tomorrow it may be Acorn. The next day it may be the Ku Klux Klan or some modern day equivalent.
Justice must be colorblind. And yet, the Justice Department’s political decision to drop a civil rights complaint concerning voter intimidation in Philadelphia sends a message to opportunists in the future that Klan-style voter intimidation will be condoned.
As opposed to many other people, I take Barack Hussein Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate at face value; I regard him as an American citizen and he is legitimately the President of the United States. That said, Congress must investigate this action by the Justice Department and see how far this scandal goes. If President Obama is found to be directly responsible for pressuring the Justice Department to drop civil rights charges in this case, a legitimate case can be made on these grounds for impeachment of our President and his removal from office.
