My further thoughts on J. Christian Adams’ book Injustice, which paints the Obama/Holder Justice Department and especially the Civil Rights Division as a place of reckless lawlessness.

AFTER THE STANDARD & POOR’S downgrade in early August, it didn’t take long for the blame game to begin. Predictably, the mainstream media blamed the Republicans.

Barack Obama responded to Republican charges of “class warfare” by saying he’s proud to be “a warrior for the middle class.” But what battles-or even skirmishes-has he ever won for working families?

The Washington Post puffed up the rookie performance of liberal Supreme Court justice Elena Kagan on the front page Monday. The headline was “Kagan made her mark in a bold rookie term.” But inside the paper was the more obvious conclusion, in the headline: “Kagan soothed liberal fears by shoring up the court’s left flank.” Reporter Robert Barnes is one of many liberal reporters who like pretending that Kagan was somehow an ideological mystery during the confirmation process, despite being picked to be Barack Obama’s solicitor general before the high court. While Kagan’s writings as an academic did not suggest a strong legal philosophy, her opinions and dissents from the bench have shown a conversational, confident writer, at times as sarcastic and cutting as a veteran

Obama’s presidency lurches from fad to fad — from gays in the military to “green jobs” to the “Buffett rule.” Hyped as a profound presidency, it has turned out to be an embarrassingly frivolous one.

Dear Reader (and those of you following the summary of this on AttackWatch.com), I was going to start this with an Obama joke along the lines, “If you love me, you’ll donate to NRO .” But there are a few problems.

From World Net Daily: Businessman Herman Cain, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, has criticized Barack Obama for disregarding America’s Christian heritage, stating he believes the president’s repeated omission of the phrase “endowed by their Creator” is “intentional.” “I have been able to get the pulse of the American people of not only what’s [...]

From World Net Daily: The difference between Jimmy Carter’s mistakes in handling the 1979 revolution in Iran and Obama’s handling of the 2011 revolution in Egypt is that Carter’s team made mistakes out of ignorance and naiveté. Thirty-one years later, Obama’s diplomatic team cannot claim naiveté in dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood and the radical [...]

From Intellectual Conservative: If the Obama Administration wants Egypt to have a more representative form of government it is difficult to comprehend how it will be facilitated with the inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood. All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. [...]

From World Net Daily: Thursday was the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Weakened politically and likely at this point in his administration to lose the 2012 presidential election, the “mullah in chief,” Barack Hussein Obama decided to show his face at the annual event and pretend that he is a believer in Judeo-Christian culture [...]

From Michelle Malkin: I’ve noted Islamic attacks on Coptic Christians at home and abroad dating back to 2005 and Good Friday 2006. The latest wave of violence came over the New Year’s Day holiday in Egyptand follows increased Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria, thePhilippines, Baghdad, and across the Middle East: For Christians in the Middle East, there is no [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: Last weekend NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg inadvertently created a mini-controversy when she said on Inside Washington: “I was at — forgive the expression – a Christmas party at the Department of Justice.” Some thought that Totenberg added “forgive the expression” as a cave to political correctness. But in fact Totenberg was [...]

From Telegraph.co.uk: President Barack Obama is likely to delay the start of his Christmas holiday to help several of his key legislative goals pass Congress before the end of the year, the White House said on Monday. Mr Obama is tentatively scheduled to depart on Saturday for Hawaii, where the family traditionally spends its year-end [...]

From NewsMax.com: * Major outdoor speech, large crowd expected * Obama popular in Indonesia, where he lived as child * US and Indonesia to announce new partnership on trip By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will visit Indonesia’s largest mosque and make a major outdoor speech directed at the global Muslim community [...]

From NewsMax.com: Either President Barack Obama isn’t familiar with the words “endowed by their Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence, or he doesn’t subscribe to that part of the wording that describes people’s intrinsic rights. At a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee dinner Monday in Rockville, Md., Obama again either misquoted the words of the [...]

From Telegraph.co.uk: Members of Mr Obama’s White House team reportedly visited India last month and told Indian officials they were concerned that if the president wore the traditional headscarf during a visit to the Golden Temple, the photographs might be used to portray him as a Muslim, according to the New Delhi-based Indian Express. Mr [...]

From Newsmax.com: American Jews, among the nation’s most reliable liberal voters, are likelier than ever to give Republicans a long hard look in upcoming elections, as enthusiasm wanes for President Barack Obama and his Democratic Party. Unless Democrats succeed in rallying under-motivated base voters — including African Americans, young people and Jewish Americans — for [...]

From World Net Daily: A coming series of “superhero” cartoons promoting the tenets of Islam under the title of “The 99″ – which has been praised by President Obama – is drawing a terse warning from an expert who has analyzed media impact onpeople for decades. “These are not the types of heroes you want your children [...]

From Michelle Malkin: In an interview to rally black voters on the Tom Joyner Show, Michelle Obama chose some rather odd words to motivate black voters of faith. Transcript via Black America Web: So, once again, we have the power. We’ve got this man in office. I think we’re all proud of Barack and his accomplishments. [...]

From Townhall.com: Now that several days have passed since President Obama “forgot” the Creator while quoting the Declaration of Independence in his speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (see video here), and my blood pressure is back down from 190/110, perhaps I can take a measured moment to comment on the big picture. Much has [...]
