American Thinker is my favorite place to go for thoughtful conservative commentary. Sometimes, the comments that follow a piece are just as interesting as the article itself. The comment below followed an article by George Picard titled “Obama’s Racial Spoil System.” It is an excellent article, but what really caught my attention was this comment:

Stanley Kurtz coined a term to describe Barack Obama’s modus operandi as a state senator. He gave him the moniker Senator Stealth. One way of understanding Barack Obama’s stealthiness and capacity for hiding and befogging is that he is psychologically Islamic. Christianity calls for a boldness and directness of expression — the yea that is yea. However, Islamic doctrine is less straightforward. For example, the Islamic doctrine of taqiya means concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury. It is impossible to imagine Barack Obama bravely leading soldiers in battle, but he has demonstrated an affinity for drone weapons. Does this affinity reflect his psychological incorporation of taqiya?

This theme of “otherness” in Obama is nothing new. But when you consider taqiya against the backdrop of Obama’s presidency so far, there are some interesting parallels. Twenty years of Jeremiah Wright had to have some effect.

Barack Obama is the nation’s first-ever Affirmative Action President. It should come as no surprise that President Obama’s pick for Attorney General, Eric Holder, would dispense Affirmative Justice.

Affirmative Action, simply put, seeks to correct past negative discrimination with positive discrimination. Call it “racial preference,” “employment equity,” “smiley-face discrimination,” or whatever, but Affirmative Action is basically a form of government-sanctioned discrimination that favors a particular group of people on the basis of some quality other than merit. This is not necessarily bad. Private employers do it all the time. My own father hired me on the basis of some quality other than merit – namely, the fact that I was his son. But he was not forced to hire me on the basis of some arbitrary federal quota, goal, or “guideline.” Such coercive measures are inevitably harmful both to people and institutions. The rule of unintended consequences applies.

You can read the full text (all 16 pages) of the Arizona Anti-Illegal Immigration Law here. 

Eric Holder has not read it yet, but that didn’t stop him from telling ABC’s Jack Tapper that enforcement of the law could lead to racial profiling:

TAPPER:  But your issue with it is not that it’s state-by-state.   Your issue with it is that there are concerns that there might be racial profiling that takes place, right?

HOLDER:  That is certainly one of the concerns that you have, that you’ll end up in a situation where people are racially profiled, and that could lead to a wedge drawn between certain communities and law enforcement, which leads to the problem of people in those communities not willing to interact with people in law enforcement, not willing to share information, not willing to be witnesses where law enforcement needs them.  I think you have to think about the collateral consequences of such a law, understanding the frustration that people feel in Arizona.  IT’s one of the reasons why I think we have to have a national solution to this immigration problem.

It is only 11 pages in length.

Deplorable.  How can you fight an enemy you cannot even acknowledge exists?

 New book reveals shocking truth about president’s radical associations.

Was the Time Square bombing attempt thwarted, or did it simply fail?  Do words matter?  Shepherd Smith explains.

Radical Islamic sympathasizer AG Eric Holder admits that the NYC bomber might not be associated with the Tea Party, but holds out that the establishment media may be able to pin the terror attack on Sarah Palin. “If all else fails, we can always blame it on Bush,” mused Holder.

An article I submitted to NewsRealblog a couple of days ago was just published.  It’s an analysis piece on NPR’s “On Point with Tom Ashbook” broadcast this past Monday (11/16).  The segment was entitled “A 9/11 Trial in New York.”  Ashbrook’s first guest was a report for the Wall Street Journal who explained very matter-of-factly that the decision to prosecute KSM & Co. was purely political.  The two guests who joined afterward were former Judge Advocates General – one for the navy, and the other for the army.  They held views opposite to one another.  One of them was an idiot, a moron of the lowest order.  Read the article, and you’ll see what I mean.

I don’t know what’s worse – KSM and his cohorts being tried in NYC, or listening to leftist know-it-alls explain why sometimes 2 and 2 equal 5.  Because that’s what is going on here.  We’re expected to believe that turning our justice system upside down to accomodate a bunch of scumbag terrorists is somehow good for the country.  We’re just never told how, exactly. 

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) cross-examined a clueless and often rambling Eric Holder about his rationale behind the decision to prosecute KSM in civilian court.  The result is difficult to watch.  Holder is, after all, our nation’s Attorney General:

Holder comes across like a schoolboy who forgot his homework.  What an inept performance.  There was a pause of SEVEN SECONDS between Graham’s first question and Holder’s stammering response.  Did the media and blogosphere pick up on this and run with it the way they did with President Bush on 9/11?  No, of course not.  Leftists stick together. 

I’d like Holder to answer the questions posed by Frank Gafney, too:

Think that’ll happen anytime soon?  Not likely.

I’d really like to see Eric Holder and Rudi Guiliani in a courtroom DeathMatch.  Here’s what Rudi thinks about this KSM in NYC business:

These are very dangerous times, and that thin blue line between civilization and chaos has just been erased.
