Palin: Obama Bringing U.S. Back To 'Before The Civil War'

Wishful thinking on Sarah's part

I have little doubt Sarah would love to live in antebellum America.

All you have to do is go back to issues this administration has supported and stood on.

Attorney General Eric Holder became a key figure epitomizing the view that government's role in racial matters was not to be an impartial dispenser of equal justice for all, but to be a racial partisan and an organ of racial payback. He has been too politically savvy to say that in so many words, but his actions have spoken far louder than any words.

The case that first gave the general public a glimpse of Attorney General Holder's views and values was one in which young black thugs outside a voting site in Philadelphia were televised intimidating white voters. When this episode was broadcast, it produced public outrage.

Although the Department of Justice's prosecution of these thugs began in the last days of the Bush administration, and the defendants had offered no legal defense, the case was dropped by the Justice Department after Eric Holder took over. One of the lawyers who were prosecuting that case resigned in protest.

Why the sudden drop by eric Holder on an obvious voter intimidation case? Can anyone honestly say, had it been a white group with battons standing at a voting station that the overall view of the case might have been treated the same?

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for a court split 5-4 along ideological lines, reversed an appeals court ruling Sotomayor [later hand picked by President Obama to join the U.S. Supreme Court, imagine that] joined last year that rejected a claim that the City of New Haven, Conn., discriminated against white firefighters by throwing out a promotional exam after all the African-American firefighters who took it scored too poorly to be promoted.

The belief that color should superceed basic "competency" when being placed in a skilled or knowledgeable career. Department of Justice Eric Holder's response was as follows:

In Ricci v. DeStefano, there was no evidence that the exam was anything other than a fair and objective way to determine the most qualified candidates to keep the city safe. But, as Justice Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. noted, “city officials worked behind the scenes to sabotage the promotional examinations because they knew that, were the exams certified, the Mayor would incur the wrath of … influential members of New Haven’s African-American community.”

New Haven’s disreputable actions were an exercise in racial politics. Such “express, race-based decision making violates the law,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority.

But that doesn’t seem to be clear enough — or good enough — for Mr. Holder’s Justice Department. It wants Dayton and New York to exercise the same considerations that put New Haven on the wrong side of the law.

Dayton has written and oral entrance exams for police officer candidates. The tests are fully in accord with the Ricci decision. But the Justice Department is forcing Dayton to lower the passing grade because not enough black applicants are passing.

Dayton’s original eligibility criteria required candidates to score a D and a C on separate tests. The Justice Department is requiring Dayton to accept candidates who get an F on the second exam. Even candidates who fail to meet the most basic requirements can still get hired. That’s no way to build a “best and brightest” police force.

Another dividing factor is in his energy policies. President Obama was quick to place a gulf moritorium on "big oil", and more recently pushed to RAISE TAXES on petrolium companies. All this, while Democrats continue to make the claim Government doesn't add to the cause of raising gas prices through the haulting of the Keystone pipeline. Yet that hasn't stopped this President from continuing to fund taxpayer dollars on a "Green" initiative that has failed to take hold in the United States, all without a SINGLE government halt "moritorium" to investigate after Solyundra went belly up.

Solyundra — a $528 million loan stimulus loan. Bankrupt
Beacon Power — received $43 million in backing from the U.S. program that supported failed solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC. Bankrupt
Evergreen Solar Inc — finalized a $150 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy, the same day FBI agents raided bankrupt Solyndra. Bankrupt
SpectraWatt — received a $500,000 grant from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as part of the stimulus package. Bankrupt
Ener1 — (an electric car battery maker) received a $118 million grant from the Obama administration. Bankrupt
President Obama continues to fund and support the Chevy Volt, a green energy production failure that is as reliable and safe as the Pinto.

When race isn't enough for him, this President divides this nation in a war of classes, the Class Warfare argument if you will. He punishes those individuals who are successful in earning a profit by pushing tax increases to cover his OWN financial blundering fiasco, while rewarding companies who fail through hard earned taxpayer dollars (already proven with the Green initiative argument above). If that wasn't enough he uses Mrs. Sandra "I am woman hear me beg" Fluke as a mere White House puppet to help rally support behind Obama's initiative of forcing insurance companies to provide free contraception, no matter the private companies religious affiliations. Obama has chosen to be divisive, and has purposed within himself to take ON issues that creates a nation that is even more polarizing in every way.

Sarah Palin is correct in that Obama has been successful at completely dividing this country through the policies and ideological stances he has chosen, and purposed within himself, to take.

Sarah Palin weighed in Thursday on a video of Barack Obama embracing the late Professor Derrick Bell, stating during an interview that the clip revealed that the president is "bringing us back...to days before the Civil War" when racial discrimination was prevalent.

In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Palin discussed Obama's affiliation with Bell, a former Harvard professor who passed away last year. A video released earlier this week showed Obama, then a student at Harvard Law School, praising Bell at a rally in support of the university hiring more minority faculty.

"He is bringing us back...to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly belived that not all men were created equal," she said. "What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin."

Earlier in the show, Palin accused Obama of "trying to divide" the country, "based along lines of gender, of religion, of income, even of race," citing the president's association with Bell.

"Look at his embracing of Derrick Bell, the radical college racist professor whom he...embraced literally and figuratively asking others to open their hearts and minds to the radical agenda of a racist like Derrick Bell who believed that white men oppress blacks and minorities," she said. "And Barack Obama, evidently at least at the time, believed what Derrick Bell believed."

The 1991 footage in question was touted as game-changing by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart at CPAC, weeks before he unexpectedly passed away. However, the clip was also included in a 2008 PBS special, and has made few waves outside of conservative circles.
