What message is the DOJ sending? And where did it originate?



In yet another example of the Obama administrations priorities, the DOJ has decided not to sue a state in order to stop the federally illegal use of marijuana while proceeding to sue a state for their attempts to provide better education to it's students. What destiny or possible outcome will this provide? And do Americans still want equal opportunity or, like our current president, want equal outcome?

No, really, when it comes to this administration, I Don't Know is on 3rd, What is on 2nd and Who is on 1st! And Tomorrow is not just the pitcher, it is apparently when Obama plans on dealing with the country's problems!

Let me see if I've got this right:

Vouchers allow students to transfer out of a failing school and into a passing school where they will receive better education, thereby increasing the graduation rate.
Marijuana increases a students likelihood of dropping out of school.

Vouchers improve workplace productivity as higher graduation rates are directly linked to a better prepared workforce.
Marijuana will increase the demand on jails and prisons (taxpayers) since there are still federal AND state laws prohibiting it's sale and distribution. Not to mention peripheral crimes associated with all drug use.

Vouchers will improve the deterioration of the family since an educated and responsible individual is more likely to make better life decisions.
Marijuana, like any drug used to escape reality, slows or stops the maturing process and will therefore continue the trend of a break down in family values.

In an administration where decisions are based on pop culture and whatever feels good at the moment, is it any wonder the world now has less respect for America than at any previous time in history?

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

 Mahatma Gandhi

America should we not adjust course, our destiny awaits us. An unpleasant one at that.

Where is the outrage?

Would our governments response to the atrocities currently occurring to Christians in Egypt be any different if the same thing were happening to Muslims and their mosques?


Christians and 2000 year old Christian holy sights are being openly targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood, the same group supported by the Obama Administration as the "peoples democratic choice" to govern Egypt. Except the people of Egypt and fortunately the Egyptian military see the brotherhood differently.

Once again Obama's lead from behind strategy is resulting in death and destruction. Only this time it is happening in a country considered to be a strong American ally. So what did the president do as this situation unfolded? Went on vacation of course. Like his fundraising efforts as the attack on Benghazi resulted in the murder of four Americans, the president has revealed his true colors: Ignorance and Procrastination. To make matters worse, both Russia and Saudi Arabia have offered to step up military aid if America's - Obama's - hand wringing over what to do continues.

Today we learned that the employees placed on administrative leave - no one was disciplined - for the incompetence displayed by our government officials (note: none of the actual decision makers {leaders} were identified let alone accused of wrongdoing) during the Benghazi attack, were reinstated. It appears someone in leadership determined everyone did their jobs correctly. Really?  If there is justice, history will reveal the extent of the current administrations corruption and the lengths to which they went in order to cover-up their ineptness. All in the name of advancing a political agenda.

America's statements to the world through the inaction of the Obama administration have been nothing less than confusing and in many instances weak, indecisive and impotent. The presidents attempts to improve America's standing in the world by displaying compassion for and understanding of the very groups who condemn American beliefs and values has backfired big time. Extremists of any persuasion never turn out to be the 'friends' you hoped they'd be. For reference compare Genghis Khan's relationship with the Roman Empire.

Maybe John Kerry, Hillary or Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, Mmm, Mmm) will make a statement assuring us that this is all a big misunderstanding due to an inflammatory Islamic video produced by Salman Rushdie... once he is jailed everything will be ok.

Or not.

When a government polices itself the power of the people is diminished.
  Holder ordered to investigate DOJ review on illegal spying.
  Clinton oversees the Department of State review on Benghazi.

And when a government appoints itself the power of the people is removed.
  Rice and Nuland, both at the center of the Benghazi talking points firestorm, both promoted.
  Obama and his unprecedented number of Czars.

Wake up America - you are losing your country.
