Long lines, awkward small talk, little stickers that usually end up getting washed with the clothes, and voter intimidation. One of these things doesn’t belong, but the Department of Justice can’t quite figure it out. In November of 2008 a polling location in Philadelphia was occupied by the Black Panther party. While standing in front of the entrance to the polling place, one of these men brandished a weapon in plain view and in a threatening manner to all those whom came into his field of vision. Charges were brought against these men for voter intimidation, but have since been dismissed by the Department of Justice.

The current administration reminds me a little too much of my classmates in high school when they were asked to answer a question on a Monday: “I didn’t do the reading.” Also, much like my classmates, they are more concerned with earning the praise and attentions of the cool kid in class rather than doing their work. Eric Holder admitted to not reading Arizona’s immigration laws, the Stimulus Bill had to be voted on twice because no one thought to read it and notice that 34 pages were missing, and the attorneys (Loretta King and Steve Rosenbaum) that ordered the dismissal of these charges stated that neither of them has read any of the memorandums drafted by attorneys who filed the charges.

After all, following the law, upholding the Constitution, working hard, doing your job, and uniformly enforcing laws are for squares, losers, the unhip, and worst of all, Conservatives (the last one can only be delivered properly with a scowl and a bad attitude).

Rather than read the memorandums in support of prosecution, watch any of the videos of the event in question (This video was found after a single Google search), or talk to those present at the polling place, the Department of Justice chooses to drop the charges after they have been filed. This is an important distinction: the charges were officially filed and made against the individuals, but were then dismissed. This means that someone in a position of importance saw enough evidence to charge these men with voter intimidation. Someone who actually read and considered all the presented evidence. Yet, once the bureaucrats, talking heads, and political appointees get ahold of the situation, they do their best to make it go away.

Now why would charges of such severity, charges against those who defile the very process that this country was created for, charges against the tyranny of force, intimidation, and fear be dropped? Political correctness. Justice is blind, but only for the majority. If you can demonstrate that you are a minority, that you are anything other than a middle class white male with an education, that you have a propensity to vote Democrat, then Justice will put her thumb on her scales for you with a wink and a sly nod.

Why is it important that this event involves a violent black supremacist group with a violent 44 year history? Because the Department of Justice has to make it look like they are standing up for the minority, the weak, the downtrodden. If the Department was truly motivated with Justice, then color, gender, nationality, education, income, and neighborhood are cast aside and the individuals are to answer for his/her actions.

Political Correctness is intended to correct the perceived evil of improper classification. Woe be unto you should you say anything other than the approved title of the week when describing someone. I have a solution. How about we just go with “American?” Equality should be the goal of the Left, Right, Center, and even the Tinfoil Hats; not making nice, neat, little groups that each have their own set of rules and perks.
