Corruption Daily Round-Up 10-20 Updated


POLITICAL CORRUPTION

How to steal from our troops: the annual defense budget raid

Justice concludes black voters need Democratic Party. The Department of Justice is interfering in local elections! Astonishingly corrupt.
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. [emphasis on racism mine.]

The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.

Several federal and local politicians would like the city to challenge the decision in court. They say voter apathy is the largest barrier to black voters' election of candidates they prefer and that the Justice Department has gone too far in trying to influence election results here.

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."

"On top of that, you have an unelected bureaucrat in Washington, D.C., overturning a valid election," he said. "That is un-American."

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.
I think that gagging sound you hear is you.

Citizenship and the Census

Iran Double-Crosses Obama. Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming. We now know why Obama abandoned the Iranian people during their election protests, he was busy negotiating with the thugs.

Every Time Congress Promises Future Savings, Its Nose Grows a Little Longer

Warmongers or Peacemakers: Who Will Be Responsible for Scorching the Earth?

This ain't good. U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets Presumably so long as you don't do anything wrong - like criticize Obama - you have nothing to fear.

Why are Democrats sticking with Charlie Rangel? Because if Rangel is exposed, they might be next?

Pressure on Honduras May Lead to Zelaya’s Return It's like returning the thief to a bank.

If this isn't a scary result of the corrupt political thinking in Congress and the White House these days, then you are a far braver person than me.
Like the failure of Obama to accept criticize (see Media Corruption), it is also a failure of Obama and Liberals to accept that people might disagree with your means while still hoping to achieve the same ends. Carville sees conservatives as alien creatures. Both Conservatives and Liberals want their children to have a better life, for everyone to afford basics like healthcare, food, homes, and jobs. The difference is that Conservatives want those ends to be achieved through freedom and personal responsibility and Liberals want the government to do it for you.

Dump Dede or Dump the GOP: They Decide. A two-fer! The GOP make a corrupt decision to throw aside conservative values in an attempt to win political power and TEA Partiers fight it.

Even Left Groups Mobilize Against A Government Takeover of the Internet. Controlling our language and our access to expression by controlling the internet. Hope and change, ya'll.

The Danger of Legal Precedents

Wall St. Giants Reluctant to Donate to Democrats. Apparently, they're not getting their money's worth. It's what happens when you attempt to buy off crooks.

'They Tried to Steal an Election,' N.Y. Voter Fraud Case Heats Up

Terror in a Community Organized by Obama: Speeches Won't Defeat Thug Culture (Warning: Graphic)

Shouldn't he concentrate on more important things like the American economy that's circling the drain? Obama Hits Campaign Trail, Schedules Full Week of Political Stops. As with past political events, the president is squeezing in some official duties on the side -- in this case, a tour of the Joint Terrorism Task Force headquarters followed by a speech to staff members. Under White House travel rules, official business on such excursions allows the administration to write off a big part of the trip at taxpayer expense.


MEDIA CORRUPTION
The media has a long history of being certain liberal presidents' lapdogs. Read all about it in Get Your Copy Today.

Losing: Helen Thomas, NYT, and The Nation Object to White House Fight With Fox News. Grow a pair, Obama and realize not everyone faints in your presence.

Obama Team Continues Effort to Isolate Fox News. Senior Obama administration officials took to the airwaves Sunday to accuse Fox News of pushing a particular point of view and not being a real news network. The body part descriptions keep piling up, now thin-skinned and cold-hearted join tin ear.

White House: Media shouldn't follow Fox. Wow, everyone is piling on this subject today.

First They Came for Fox News… Then they'll come for bloggers. How are your eaves looking?

Palmieri: We Want an "Echo Chamber"

I Learned It From Watching You, America-Hating Rupert! If the GOP is now the "Hate America Party", then color me HAP-py.

Weird two-fer. Chamber of Commerce Says Statement Announcing Support for Climate Bill a Hoax. A fake press release, which declared the Chamber of Commerce had done an "about-face on climate policy" following the defection of prominent members, was briefly picked up by Reuters and several other media organizations. At least the Chamber of Commerce is still against the Cap and Tax bill but it is sad so many in the MSM wanted to believe.


ACORN/UNION CORRUPTION
A Two-fer! An attempt at corruption rebuffed. Illinois Home Health Care Workers to SEIU, AFSCME: Nope.

JUNK SCIENCE/ENVIRONMENTALISM CORRUPTION
Whose Environment Are We Protecting?

"Global Warming" at Yankee Stadium. It's always nice to hear how the sky is burning when the sky is dropping ice and hail on your head.

Next Move: Suing the Sun for Unseasonably Cool Weather. Better be careful or the Sun will get angry. Actually this is about Katrina victims suing oil companies despite the pollution-hurricane connection being thoroughly debunked.

Does Obama Believe in Human Rights? Human rights "interfere" with President Obama's campaign against climate change.

GENERAL CORRUPTION
No Out for Polanski. GOOD!

When Liberals teach - Tolerance Gone Wild The concept of "moral relevancy" should be beaten to death, burned by purifying fire, and buried under a rock at midnight on a moonless night. The teaching moral relevancy as a form of ethics leads students to wonder if it is "wrong" to "judge" the Nazis (Stalinists and Maoists) for murdering millions of human beings. If you have to wonder about that, then you have no moral compass.

A Lesson in Unintended Consequences for Our President

Congress and Obama Show Contempt for Americans

Why does a no-brainer like this need to be spelt out? Representatives Must Pledge to Represent the People.

Obama the Graceless. Bush will be Obama’s eternal foil.

No, Conservatism Isn’t Like Nazism. (Sigh…)

So millions of Americans are unemployed and losing their homes and the Obamas party on. Obamas big on White House gigs.

Capitalism: A Big Fat Smelly Love Story What did Winston Churchill say, "Capitalism is the worst possible form of government, except for all the others."

The Blue-Collar Gospel
“If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.”
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

Sorry, You Have to Be a Voter to Vote. America’s electoral system is so sound and reliable that we take it for granted. We shouldn’t. Protecting the integrity of the voting process is essential to democracy.
