Hold Holder in contempt! ... It's PAST Time!

EDITORIAL: Hold Holder in contempt

No more slow-walking Fast and Furious probe
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES Monday, May 14, 2012
Justice has waited long enough. It’s time to pull the trigger on contempt charges against Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. for withholding documents from Congress in the Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal. Allowing further delay would only confirm what many Americans suspect: There is one set of laws for bureaucrats and another for the rest of us.

Issa vows action on Holder as Washington Times demands it
By THE EXAMINER.COM Monday, May 15, 2012
Political rhetoric over Operation Fast and Furious in “the other Washington” heated up once again on Fox News Monday night when Congressman Darrell Issa promised that action will be taken, but he may have been upstaged by the Washington Times’ Monday editorial demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder be held in contempt.


A message to Congressman Issa - STOP THE PROCRASTINATION ALREADY !!


The Washington Times has it almost right except that it's no longer a "suspicion".  This congress and administration have clearly and repeatedly demonstrated that they believe there is one set of laws for bureaucrats and another for the rest of us.  In my opinion, even if the GOP is successful in regaining the presidency and hopefully the senate too, contempt charges against Holder should be pursued to a conclusion and not dropped as a result of the coming elections, regardless the outcome.

Obama’s Ambitious U.N. Treaty Agenda


Sovereignty: Even if he's not re-elected, the president hopes to leave behind a treaty giving a U.N. body veto power over the use of our territorial waters and to which we'd be required to give half of our offshore oil revenue.
Like its Kyoto cousin, LOST is an attempt at the global redistribution of power and wealth, the embodiment of the progressive dream of the end of the nation state as we know it and the end of political freedom by giving veto over all of mankind's activities to a global body — in this case something called the International Seabed Authority, located in Kingston, Jamaica.

Ever heard of this before?  NO?  I hadn’t either so I decided to look a little further.  Here’s what I found.

Obama’s Ambitious U.N. Treaty Agenda
Cliff Kincaid — July 8, 2009
With Al Franken replacing Norm Coleman, Senate Democrats have another vote for the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, and there are strong indications that they intend to bring this controversial document up for a vote within days or weeks. Those who favor the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) believe that U.S. security lies in passing a treaty and hiring more lawyers to defend America before an international tribunal, rather than building more ships for the Navy and Coast Guard.

We may be losing jobs in our domestic economy, but opportunities are endless in the field of international law. Passage of UNCLOS would open up some well-paying jobs in the U.N.’s International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

However, the largely untold story is that of corruption in the international organizations that implement and monitor these treaties. For example, the International Seabed Authority in Jamaica, another of the Law of the Sea Treaty organizations, has been racked by corruption charges. Yet, the Senate has never held a hearing into these charges.


So … explain to me why the citizens of this nation should tolerate, for even a minute, any attempt by any elected representative of this country to subvert the sovereignty of this county to the United Nations, the corrupt International Seabed Authority or any other multiculturalist organization embraced and advanced by such socialist elitists as John Kerry, Al Gore, Elisabeth Mann Borgese [deceased architect of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea] or Barak Obama.

For that matter, why do we, as a nation, tolerate the lies, distortions and cover-ups of deliberations such as this by the left-leaning news media?

Wake up America!
