J. Christian Adams

Ah yes, as if we needed more evidence that the Obama administration is quite possibly the most corrupt administration in recent memory. From his involvement in the dirty machine of Chicago politics to the billion dollar Solyndra scandal to the tragedy of Fast and Furious and now to the absolutely repulsive Voting Rights violations of his obscenely racialized "Justice" Department, President Obama is pretty much drenched in corruption and dirty dealing. For someone who claimed he would rescue show more America from ignominy, Obama and his hires sure have worked to disgrace her principles.

This book is mostly concerned with the workings of the so-called Civil Rights Division of the Obama DOJ. Adams shows how the liberal claims that Bush "politicized" the DOJ during his term are clearly false: he compares the political leanings and previous work experience of the Bush hires to those of DOJ workers hired under Obama, as well as the actual legal cases the Bush DOJ brought vs those the Obama DOJ has brought. And -- surprise, surprise -- it turns out that Obama is the one who packed the DOJ with zealous left-wingers and has brought almost zero cases to the courts. These are things you can verify yourself on the DOJ website and through the FOIA. (Of course, even the FOIA is applied unevenly by this administration; if you're conservative, you are forced to wait months before you get your info, if you get it at all. Liberal requests are often given next day service. Adams documents clearly this disparity.)

Most of the book focuses on the Ike Brown voter fraud case and the New Black Panthers voter intimidation case and how the liberals in the DOJ are blatantly opposed to race-neutral law enforcement and equal protection. Adams provides incontrovertible evidence that the DOJ under Holder is zealously committed to making sure dead people and felons still get to vote(several times over, even!), while simultaneously disenfranchising thousands of military personnel serving overseas. If that's not despicable, what is?

And finally, Adams argues for why this corruption and injustice is so significant. If there is one area from which we should work to purge corruption, it's the voting system. If Americans lose faith in the voting system -- in the justness of our democracy and that each man may vote according to his principles and it will be counted -- we're done for. show less
