Every day, Americans receive object lessons in the mind-blowing audacity of the criminals who make up the Obama administration. Indeed, radicals and progressives of prominence simply exude audacity and impudence overall, advancing their immoral and illegal agenda as though the rule of law and the Constitution simply did not exist.
Occasionally, we’re treated to “one for the books,” as it were.
During a House Judiciary Committee Hearing this week, Attorney General Eric Holder became irate when Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, suggested that being in contempt of Congress was “not a big deal” to the attorney general. Gohmert was reacting to a perceived lack of forthrightness in Holder’s testimony, referring, or course, to Holder being held in contempt of Congress in June 2012 over the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal.
“You don’t want to go there, buddy,” Holder responded. “You don’t want to go there, OK?”
“I don’t want to go there?” Gohmert replied.
Holder went on to qualify his position, claiming that Gohmert’s assumption was erroneous, but what rankles is the attorney general’s belligerence in reaction to the representative’s statement, which reflects said audacity and impudence.
You don’t want to go there? My response, had I been Gohmert, would have been unprintable here and would have made history with regard to a congressional hearing. Where, I wonder, does this corrupt, criminal radical in a suit get the gall to address a representative of the people in such a manner?
I’ll tell you where he gets it. The same place the president and most members of the Obama administration have gotten it, the same place so many in our government have been encouraged to get it in increasing measure over many years.
He gets it from us, the American people, in our unwillingness to put people like him in their place.
During the periods prior to the contempt vote, Holder publicly shrugged off the prospect as unlikely and unintimidating at best – essentially a joke, in his mind. This attitude was reflected in many news accounts during that period of time. Even during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week, he stated that the contempt of Congress vote had been “unjust” and attempted to blame it on politics and the gun lobby.
I would remind the reader that this is the same Eric Holder who could not unequivocally state that the assassination of American citizens by the government was unacceptable. This is the same Eric Holder whose Justice Department initiated a practice of failing to prosecute ethnic minorities for crimes in which the victims were white. This is the same Eric Holder whose No. 1 priority has been to fight measures to ensure free and fair elections, thus facilitating widespread vote fraud.
One would think that someone might remind Eric Holder that it is only because we remain a nation of laws that he still has a job. Given his actions in an official capacity, he might have been cut to pieces with machetes or burned in a pile with his co-conspirators in many of the backward nations whose societies he and his Marxist buddies view as so superior to ours.
This unwarranted imperious mien does not extend only to the radicals in the Obama administration, Democratic leaders and their surrogates. We have seen strikingly similar behavior amongst progressive Republicans masquerading as conservatives. Some of these, for example, exhibit the passive-aggressive trait of rolling over like submissive dogs for Democratic elites, while baring their fangs and snarling when it comes to conservative members of their own party, whether they be fellow lawmakers or members of patriot groups like the tea party.
Some examples of these are Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who has publicly disparaged and threatened conservative colleagues, and former Bush operative Karl Rove, who recently articulated that it would be better that Republicans “lose to Jerry Brown” (in the upcoming California gubernatorial election) with establishment-backed Republican candidate Neel Kashkari rather than run assemblyman and tea-party favorite Tim Donnelly.
As radicals in the Democratic Party have us inching toward totalitarianism, our ostensible advocates in the Republican Party do nothing whatsoever to counter this, despite their rhetoric and token overtures. In addition to the intrusive, paternalistic and unconstitutional modality in which so many politicians and government bodies operate, they are also in the process of selling out the interests, security and general well-being of the American people to malevolent entities such as the United Nations; domestically, they have increasingly left us open to the potential for attack at the hands of Islamists, who are literally training for war within our borders – with complete impunity.
Unfortunately, We the People bear some of the blame for the elitist evolution of those in our government. Having reached this point, and with the evidence of our government’s institutional corruption so apparent, we still have millions of Americans who believe President Obama to be a garden variety liberal Democrat, and that Jeb Bush or Chris Christie might be viable GOP offerings for the presidential ticket in 2016.
And that, dear reader, ought to scare you far more than pay inequality, gay marriage, or the situation in Ukraine.
