Why D.C. RINOs Won't Impeach Eric Holder

DECEMBER 13, 2011 BY BEN JOHNSON 

One of the activists in the Clinton impeachment trial says not to believe some Republicans threatening to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious. It's just a smokescreen used by Washington pols, he writes.

Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch USA, writes the fact "that House Republicans threatened only to impeach Holder if he does not come totally clean on Operation Fast and Furious" is an "empty threat" and "meaningless in the world of Washington, D.C., politics."

"When was the last time anyone was impeached?" he asked.

Klayman knows the territory. He doggedly pursued Bill Clinton's serial crimes in the 1990s on everything from Filegate to Chinese campaign fundraising to misuse of the Commerce Department. Then-Congressman Bob Barr brought Klayman in to brief congressmen who were pursuing impeachment, and Klayman introduced the panel to Dolly Kyle Browning, a former victim of Clinton's sleazy ways. (When she planned to expose their affair, Clinton's staffers responded, "We will destroy you.")

Klayman writes in WND.com that he has seen RINOs promise impeachment before as a slick political tactic:

You see, lying in the nation's capital may make for good theatre, but it's really no "big deal," whether it's Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton during her scandalous reign of terror in the White House, or anyone else, including Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush, who lied about various issues involving the lead up to the Iraq war. Threats of impeachment of Holder are just part of the overall dog-and-pony show to position Republicans for the next election – just as the impeachment of Bill Clinton was intended only to weaken Democrats for the 2000 presidential election. There never was any Republican intention to convict and remove the criminal from office, lest Al Gore assume the presidency and run as an incumbent in 2000.

Congressman James Sensenbrenner, a conservative patriot, publicly raised the specter of impeachment during Eric Holder's testimony last week. However, RINOs quickly backed away. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said he does not even want to see Holder's subordinate, Lanny Breuer, fired — insisting it "would be a loss if Lanny were to leave."

Former Bush-43 speechwriter David Frum advised Republicans to cave on the debt ceiling toavoid impeaching Obama. He's currently warning the GOP not to nominate Newt Gingrich, because it means "volunteering to spend 2012 re-arguing the Clinton impeachment."

If anyone knows impeachment's inside baseball, it is Klayman. As this author has noted, the two parties simply agree to disagree over major issues, swap seats every so often, and coalesce to hurt the average American. At the leadership level, Washington is a one-party town with two names, both dedicated to big government.

The good news is, Klayman has a solution:

It again falls to "We the People" to take action. If Holder is not indicted for perjury, should we not empanel a citizens' grand jury and charge him ourselves – a legal right under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution? And, let's not single out Sir Eric! The mainstay of the Washington, D.C., political establishment, with few exceptions, should also be indicted for destroying our country and lying to us in the process!

In fact, citizen grand juries have indicted Barack Obama. This may be the most effective way to go.

Fmr. Black Panther Warns Conservatives of 2012 Violence

Former Black Panther and left-wing activist Brandon Darby told a packed East Orlando Tea Party this week that he left the Black Panthers because basically he loves America.  He said he just couldn’t take it anymore when he happened upon a video training session by anarchist leaders showing gullible young men how to make Molotov cocktails to shut down the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in 2008.

”Anarchists were showing videos of throwing Molotov cocktails at corporate systems,” Darby said. The ingredients were bought at a local big box and built using tampons as wicks with oil laced into the gasoline “to better stick to the skin,” like homemade napalm. Darby said something snapped in his consciousness when these radicals began openly calling for shutting down the convention by any means possible, simply because they didn’t like what the Republicans and Sarah Palin were saying.

“That’s bullying,” he said.  Giving a heads-up to organizers for the August 27, 2012, GOP convention at the Tampa Convention Center, the now conservative forum speaker is warning what could happen again. He said a definite structure of planners had set up a three part division of responsibilities in the leftist camp:

• The Reds, the hardcore anarchists dressed in black, whose sole aim was to fight the police;
• The Yellows, who were tasked with blocking roads to the Xcel site; and
• The Greens, a loosely knit collection of about 10,000 routine protestors.

“I want to get those who want to destroy our country,” he told thecConservatives in a big media event ignored by the local print outlet in a new expression of liberal bias by omission. The liberal media at the time, in typical progressive media-speak, said Darby exhibited a “hyper-masculinity” that led astray the gullible youths who had plans to lob gasoline bombs into a parking lot of cop cars. These two young men, however, received jail terms.

Darby is a great example of the virtues writers  praised years ago.  A runaway at an early age, he wandered through teen runaway life before getting sucked into the Black Panther Party. Darby turned FBI informant after meeting Police Major John Bryson, who was in charge of New Orleans’s famed Ninth Ward.  After Bryson rescued a former Panther stranded by Katrina, he started to realize that police do care and that “not all cops are pigs.”

What really convinced him to follow the right path was the fact that more than 20,000 brilliant leftists could not establish order out of the Katrina chaos.  When he looked out over his audience, he said, “I knew I did the right thing.”

He made a right turn to save his beloved country from the same kind of chaos he sees coming to overtake all of America.

S.B. County: Immigration Check Proposed for Food Workers.... The Press-Enterprise by Imran Ghori..

S.B. COUNTY: Immigration check proposed for food workers

Applicants for San Bernardino County food handler cards would have their immigration status checked under a proposal introduced Tuesday by Supervisor Neil Derry.

Employees who work at restaurants and other food-service jobs would be required to go through the federal E-verify system before receiving their cards, Derry said.

The county Department of Public Health requires that food-service employees be trained and tested on food safety laws. They receive a certificate once they pass the test.

Derry is also proposing that the county require restaurants to show that their employees have been screened through the E-verify system.

The regulations would apply countywide. The public health department is responsible for issuing permits for employees in cities in the county and its unincorporated areas.

Derry said he believes many food-service jobs are being taken by those in the country illegally.

"Our citizens should have the first opportunity for those jobs," he said, citing highunemployment rates, especially for teenagers.

Derry brought up the issue at the Board of Supervisors meeting, asking that county Chief Executive Officer Greg Devereaux have his staff research the issue.

Board Chairwoman Josie Gonzales and Supervisor Gary Ovitt didn't take a stance on the proposal but agreed that Devereaux should return to the board with a report looking into the ramifications of such a regulation. Supervisors Brad Mitzelfelt and Janice Rutherford were absent.

E-Verify is an electronic system that allows companies to check potential hires against Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security records to see whether they are eligible to work in the country.

Several cities -- including Murrieta, Temecula, Hemet, Menifee and Lake Elsinore -- and a handful of states have adopted ordinances and laws through which they deny business licenses to firms that refuse to participate in the E-Verify program.

San Bernardino County already uses the program for potential hires and for firms with which it contracts, county spokesman David Wert said.

Emilio Amaya, executive director of the San Bernardino Community Service Center, an immigrant-assistance agency, said he believes the proposal is unnecessary and a waste of government resources.

San Bernardino: Route 66 Rendezvous REV's UP!! Press-Enterprise by Darrell R. Santschi..

SAN BERNARDINO: Route 66 Rendezvous revs up

More than 500,000 people are expected to pack the sidewalks and fill the streets of downtown San Bernardino over the next four days for the city's biggest annual event, the Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous.

A 37-block area of downtown, between 2nd and 5th streets and from E Street to Sierra Way, will be closed to normal traffic beginning at 5 p.m. today. Streets will reopen about 10 p.m. and then shut down again at 5 p.m. Friday through the weekend.

The rendezvous celebrates the city's ties to Route 66, the cross-country highway that runs through San Bernardino, and the popular pastime of cruising in souped-up cars. Owners of pre-1975 vehicles from across Southern California form a conga line of cars as they cruise the streets each day.

A study several years ago estimated that the event pumps $43 million into the local economy, taking into account the money spent on hotel rooms, food and filling tanks with gas.

As has happened in recent years despite the sagging economy, the number of vintage vehicles is expected to max out at 1,700, said Karen Blanco, communications director for the San Bernardino Convention and Visitors Bureau.

"We can't go over that because that's all the parking spaces we have," she said.

Classic cars and trucks return to cruise San Bernardino's streets during the Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous as they did in 2010.

Much of today's activity surrounds the arrival of drivers, cars and equipment, with last-minute participants able to register at the Carousel Mall until all the spaces are filled.

A kick-off ceremony is planned at 6 p.m. at Court Street Square, at Court and E streets.

One of the most popular events at the rendezvous is being moved this year from Thursday to Friday night to take advantage of the larger weekend crowd, Blanco said.

The neon light show last year drew 40 competitors who had attached glowing lights to the interior, under the hood and beneath their classic cars. By mid-week, 37 had registered for this year's event. The 2011 competition is adding a second category for cars outfitted with LED lighting.

Four new inductees will be installed Saturday morning in the event's Cruisin' Hall of Fame at the Carousel Mall: car customizer John D'Agostina of Pittsburg, model car maker Revell Inc., auto magazine Popular Mechanics and parts chain Pep Boys.

Children can build model cars from free kits during a contest on Saturday at the Carousel Mall. Some 300 kits were given away last year, but Blanco expects even more to be handed out this time with Revell's Hall of Fame induction.

Bicycle stunt shows, with BMX riders showing off hair-raising spins, flips and jumps, will take place three times on Saturday.

A separate event at the Orange Show Events Center at 6 p.m. Saturday will pit car enthusiasts against each other in an attempt to burn rubber, spin doughnuts and otherwise cavort in their vehicles. Admission is $10 for adults and free for kids age 10 and younger, plus $5 for parking.

The rendezvous' biggest attraction takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Third Street and Arrowhead Avenue, where car owners will compete in an open-header contest, revving their engines. The loudest car wins.

The 22nd annual Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous takes place today through Sunday in downtown San Bernardino.
