Radical Out, Radical In

Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney GeneralPresident Obama is considering nominating his far-left labor secretary to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, according to media reports.

Illegal alien enabler Thomas Perez would not be an improvement over Holder, the scandal-plagued left-wing attorney general who has taken the Department of Justice to new lows of corruption and lawlessness. Perez, who previously ran the DoJ’s civil rights branch, would likely be a Holder clone or worse.

“Perez fits all the qualities that Eric Holder had: A lack of ethics, disrespect for the rule of the law, and placing ideology first,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

“Tom Perez was one of the reasons we need civil rights investigation at the civil rights division,” Fitton said. “He was the point man in terms of enforcing law in [a] racially biased manner.”

Perez hasn’t won friends outside of his radical circles during his time at the Labor Department.

“Perez has been charged with enforcing existing labor law. Unfortunately, he’s chosen only to enforce the law when it applies to employers, not to the Administration’s union allies,” according to Ryan Williams of Worker Center Watch. He continued:

While the politicization of federal agencies is running critique of the Obama administration, the Justice Department is the one agency that should remain above the fray of politics, and Perez has demonstrated that he is incapable of serving as a neutral arbiter of the law.

Patrick Semmens of the National Right to Work Foundation, said that he didn’t think Perez was capable of enforcing the law impartially.

“Tom Perez as Attorney General is a scary thought,” Semmens said. “If Perez is allowed to operate the Department of Justice the way he has run the Labor Department, he will consistently put the priorities of the president’s key political backers ahead of the rights of regular Americans.”

A former top aide to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), Perez became labor secretary last year only after barely surviving a confirmation vote in the Senate. Before that he served as the nation’s top civil rights enforcer at the DoJ. Like Barack Obama, Perez graduated from Harvard Law School, long a hotbed of radical leftist activity.

He told AFL-CIO leaders that if Martin Luther King were alive today, “He would join with you … in calling for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act” — legislation that would drastically tilt workplace elections in favor of labor. He said the “civil rights movement and the labor movement are … essentially the same.”

Perez sides with America’s enemies in the Global War on Terror. He apparently supports Islamic terrorists and the imposition of Shariah law in America.

Perez seems to favor Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws. In Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries offenders are condemned to death merely for insulting Islam.

Disturbingly, at a congressional hearing Perez pointedly refused to rule out bringing such laws to America. At a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee’s panel on the Constitution in 2012, Perez would not say whether he would uphold the religious speech protections in the First Amendment in the future.

“Will you tell us … that this administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?” Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) asked four times to no avail.

Perez, like so many Obama administration officials, believes that America is a seething hotbed of “Islamophobia,” filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the Muslim religion. He has worked with hardcore Islamist groups such as the terrorist-linked Islamic Society of North America and applauded Islamists for lobbying against airline security measures.

Like Holder and Obama, Perez is obsessed with race.

“I wish discrimination were a thing of the past,” Perez said in 2012 when he headed the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division. “I wish we were living in post-racial America. I wish my phone were not ringing. But regrettably, it’s ringing off the hook in the voting context. It’s ringing off the hook in the hate crimes context and in so many other contexts.”

During his time at DoJ, members of the Civil Rights Division conspired with ACORN-affiliated Project Vote to weaken electoral integrity-related law enforcement. Voter ID laws, in his twisted view, are racist, calculated to deprive people of color of their voting rights.

While at DoJ, Perez led the Obama administration’s assault on voter ID laws leading up to the 2012 election. As a member of the Montgomery County, Md. Council in 2003 he tried to compel governments to accept fraud-prone matricula consular ID cards issued by Mexican consular offices.

Perez is also a past president of Casa de Maryland, a notorious advocacy group for illegal aliens funded by George Soros and the late Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. As director of clinical law programs at the University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore, in 2003 Perez whined about the difficulty he claimed illegal aliens and new legal immigrants have getting welfare benefits. “Many people remain eligible for S-CHIP and Medicaid who don’t get access because of language barriers,” he said.

Under Perez, the DoJ refused to prosecute hate crimes committed against white Americans. He was reportedly instrumental in the Justice Department’s dismissal –over the objections of the government attorneys handling the matter– of a case involving two Philadelphia-based members of the New Black Panther Party who brandished weapons and intimidated white voters on Election Day 2008.

An inspector general found that Perez believed voter protection statutes “did not cover white citizens.” A House Oversight Committee investigation determined he used his private email account to do government business, a practice that allows the user to evade transparency laws. Perez was also criticized for nixing a $200 million whistle blower lawsuit because it could undermine so-called “disparate impact,” a controversial legal principle regarding discrimination.

Perez believes the government should require racial discrimination in order to benefit those the Left deems to have been historically oppressed. He favors the use of affirmative action in hiring at higher education and healthcare facilities. Perez appeared to argue that medical doctors should push for racial quotas in the hiring process because racial diversity among physicians somehow improves healthcare outcomes.

Perez believes that medical schools should lower admission standards for black applicants because they are more likely to practice in so-called underserved communities than whites.

He played a major role in enacting the Church Arson Prevention Act, legislation based on the false premise that black churches were being targeted with disproportionate frequency by arsonists.

He has targeted Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio for legal harassment because he doesn’t like Arpaio’s tough-on-crime approach, especially with respect to illegal aliens.

Perez is proud of his role in inflating the mortgage bubble. He’s a fierce defender of financial affirmative action programs that forced banks to lend money to uncreditworthy borrowers.

Perez openly holds business people in contempt, treating them as morally inferior. He likens bankers to Ku Klux Klan members, arguing that racial discrimination is afoot whenever a member of a minority group is turned down for a loan. The only difference between bankers and Klansmen is that bankers discriminate “with a smile” and “fine print,” but they are “every bit as destructive as the cross burned in the neighborhood,” he said.

If you’re a radical leftist hellbent on fundamentally transforming America, Perez should be your choice to succeed Eric Holder as the nation’s attorney general. For the rest of America, however, Perez would be a poor pick to ensure that anything resembling justice and fairness is returned to the DoJ.

    Must win Senate in November.

    • WhiteHunter

      And we must enforce party discipline for a change, as the Damnocrats always do with perfect compliance. No place anymore for RINOs, “moderates,” and the RNC arguing that “Well, we should let the president put his own team in place….”

      NO, we should NOT. We MUST NOT. We’ve seen the results of that with all of his cabinet and judiciary appointees over the past 6 years: Without a single exception, their loyalty is to him, personally, and to his catastrophic Alinskyite agenda for the destruction of our country, not to the American people, and certainly not to the Constitution and our laws.

      To them their oath of office is just a shibboleth–an empty, meaningless formality to be rattled off as a means to unlimited, unaccountable power that they have not the slightest intention of honoring.

    • swemson

      With Obama reaching the end of his term, I’m fearful of our chances in the next two elections. When you consider the amount of election fraud we saw in 2012, coupled with Obama’s ever more brazen dishonesty and unconstitutional behavior, and the refusal of his justice department to prosecute even his most flagrant crimes, I suspect that the coming election is going to be a complete sham.

      So what do we do then? What’s it going to take for us to get off our complacent a$$es and actually do something?

      And what good does it do us even if we win big in November, if the GOP leadership continues it’s spineless pattern of action. What happens if a GOP controlled senate goes ahead and confirms a piece of $hit Perez?

      If we don’t win big in November, and see an immediate change in the political environment as a result of it, than I think it will probably be time for Jefferson’s “tree of liberty” to receive some serious nourishment.

    But not a communist. Amiright?

    • The March Hare

      Of course he is not a communist. They’ve come up with a brand of socialism somewhat different than communism and therefore, aren’t communists. They’re progressives. That is, to say, they progressively lead us down the socialist path until we are past the point of no return.

      • johnnywood

        They are not communists and if you don`t believe it just ask them:-)

      • objectivefactsmatter

        Which is what all communists do.

      • objectivefactsmatter

        We can call it “real-communism.” IOW, where you end up when communists get too much power.

  • truebearing

    Obama is doubling down on his campaign of evil. Perez is arguably worse than Holder, if for no other reason than his support for Sharia…but there are more reasons, as Matthew so thoroughly delineated.

    This comes as no surprise. Obama is hell-bent on a three part agenda that is driven by his strongest influences: racism, Marxism, and Islam.

    We saw persecution during Holder’s tenure as the Criminal General. It will explode under Perez.

  • http://tinatrent.com/ Tina Trent

    Great: a dumber, angrier, more hateful, less articulate Eric Holder. With crazy eyes. Thanks for the uplifting thoughts, Matthew. Heck, we might as well put Sharpton in there. Truth in packaging.

    • johnnywood

      Holder, Perez and Sharpton, No variation there.

    He is a “Diversity-Storm-Trooper,” ensuring that America continues to spew the nonsense that “Diversity is our strength.” I do miss the real America of my youth, when everyone was expected to work hard and go as far as his or her abilities could take them. None of this BS put forth by the Left and it social engineers. “Disparate impact” is just one of the canards the idiot civil rights crowd uses to destroy any sort of standards.

    • sundance69

      Absolutely correct.

    • marlene

      Diversity is perversity!

  • Hard Little Machine

    I suspect Perez as AG would be to pave the way for 100% unlimited open ended amnesty for everyone. The bargain with organized labor would be to subsidize the newly minted citizens’ labor union dues.

    • objectivefactsmatter

      No doubt.

    A racist for a racist! Great, just what this country needs more of.

    The pres is only as smart and able as the people around him. Guess that tells a lot about why we’re all screwed up right now!

      Well, if you start with a Socialist Community Organizing follower of Saul Alinsky, mix in sycophantic toadying lick spittles, add a heaping helping of race baiting ne’er-do-wells, y’all gonna end up with kind of administration we currently have.

  • nomoretraitors

    This is why I said my joy at Holder’s departure was only tempered by the knowledge someone just as bad or worse would take his place

  • sly311

    How can this possibly be happening? America is now a Muslim Communist country. Democrats suffer from mental disorders. There is nothing rational about them. They’re dumb arrogant pretentious self-centered godless motherless bastards. Sharia is on it’s way unless good people vote these scumbags out of office in the Senate and House. Obama is the anti-Christ; far from the Messiah image he campaigned on.

  • herb benty

    Obama is in full anti-white, anti- patriot, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-semitic mode. I doubt Putin has a more leftist background than Obama/Perez. Communism OUT!

    • MrUniteUs1

      Interesting so why didn’t the President Obama just lay back and white Russians and white Ukranians kill each other. Why did he personally visit the white families of victims of white mass murderers in Sandy Hook, and Aurora, Colorado, and Arizona? Why did he give the clearance to kill Africans and to save Captain Phillips. (Note a Black Female Admiral co-ordinated the rescue and anti pirating efforts in the region). Why did he join Bush, McConnel, and Boehner, and support sending hundreds of billions to white and Jewish run firms on wall Street. Why did Senator Obama visit Israel and then convince Congress to finance the Iron Dome defense system for Israel. Why did President Obama hire 2 Jews to be his Chief of Staff. Why did he choose a Jewish woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme court, and another Jewish woman to run the DNC? Why did over 70% of Jews vote for President Obama?

      • herb benty

        Ya, interesting all right. Why no response to Americans being attacked by black gangs, the knockout game etc.? There are such thing as leftist Jews that hate themselves, Israel and that is the type of Jew Obama hires and is supported by. Obama “visited” Israel? Ha, ha, he arranged to meet Leftist students to further weaken Israel. Why did Obama withhold weapons for Israel is the real question. Because, 70% of American Jews are commie idiots. Obama gave Wall Street money to buy them for the left, as he has done. Smokescreen.

        • MrUniteUs1

          Did you just get out of prison?. There’s been plenty of response. Al Sharpton was among the first to denounce the attacks. Now hears your chance do denounce the Jews that attacked this Black fashion school student.

          Warning: Pictures are gruesome.

          • herb benty

            And you are deluded. I love Israel. Find some other sucker. The “Jews” are your excuse for the world’s problems, they are just under 3% of the world’s population. You can’t pin everything on them! Even IF that is true, they don’t make a religion out of killing like Islam. I denounce you.

  • Libslayer

    I was trying to imagine what corrupt, racist hack sleazeball Obama would nominate to replace the racist hack sleazeball, Eric Holder.
    Perez is the perfect choice.
    He may actually be a greasier slug than Holder.
    Republicans are idiots if they support his nomination.
    No guarantee they won’t.

  • MrUniteUs1

    Is Matthew lying or just unaware?. There was only one weapon, held by only one of the members. Samir Shabazz had a nightstick. He was told to leave by a Black police officer and he did, and was banned from polling places a few months after Holder became AG. Why did Matthew omit these facts?

    Not one voter, white, Jew, Black, Hispanic, Muslim, or other, from the precinct said they were intimated. That’s probably why the Bush adminstration chose not to prosecute. But the Bush adminstration gets a pass. Why? Is it a white pass, or a Republican pass? I don’t know. But nary one right winger blames the Bush Administration. Why not?

    Here is what Matthew wrote.

    “He was reportedly instrumental in the Justice Department’s dismissal
    –over the objections of the government attorneys handling the matter– of
    a case involving two Philadelphia-based members of the New Black
    Panther Party who brandished weapons and intimidated white voters on
    Election Day 2008.”

    • truebearing

      Here you are again…the black racist apologist.

      • MrUniteUs1

        Actually Matthew should apologize for misleading readers, again.
        This is not the first time. I just stated the facts. If you think anything I’ve written is false. Then let me know.

        • truebearing

          Practically the entire comment is wrong.

          The Bush didn’t proceed with the prosecution because his term was ending…duh. So neither Bush nor republicaqns “got a pass,” nit wit. They weren’t in a position to complete the prosecution since they would shortly be out of office. Maybe a civics class would help you understand better.

          You Maobama goose steppers still think Bush is responsible even after he has left office, while Obama is never responsible for anything even while he is the acting ( but not really acting) president.

          You can’t say no one was intimidated. The white guy with the camera was threatened. Any time people see thugs dressed up as black Nazis with billy clubs — which are weapons by any definition — they will be somewhat intimidated. Add to that obvious truth the fact that the Black Panthers are virulent racists, and the fact that they were clearly there to intimidate voters, and anyone but a complete idiot, or a black racist, would say they are intimidating voters.

          If two whites who belonged to a paramilitary, racist group acted that way, you and a high percentage of black America would howling and hopping around, carrying on about racism and burning down stores…right after you looted them.

      Don’t you have to wonder though how it all would have gone down had it been two white guys, if you’re honest?

  • John Nicholson

    Something nobody mentions is that obummer, holder, and now perez would not be in such a position without three critical points. 1. Financial aid from the likes of George Soros, 2. The lack of intelligent thought by democrat politicians and voters, and 3. The cowardice of most republican politicians afraid of the racist tag.(They will be called racist no matter what they do or don’t do so, they should do what’s good for the ENTIRE country,not just themselves.)

    That such a candidate could even be considered to replace Holder shows how far the nation has declined already. Very sad.

  • marlene

    This is exactly what I predicted and it has been in the works for years – since the open border infiltration of illegal aliens and illlegal executive orders. If he gets the job, we will have not only trickle down black racism, but the attitude of entitled hispanic racism. If you’re white, fight. I barely recognize my country now, don’t make it worse. If the republicans let this guy in, they will lose votes – for a very long time. Diversity is perversity.

    • NJK

      If they let this guy in they lose the House and Senate.

  • TDC

    Perez is a pawn in the game, nominate him, let him get shot down in the Senate for being to radical and your next nomination looks almost conservative.

    A good article by Mr. Vadum. He did not mention – and may not be aware of – Mr. Perez’ participation in conventions held by Muslim groups that were Muslim Brotherhood fronts. He was not there as an impartial representative from the government – he was there as an advocate.

  • Pericles

    Obama always takes us ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’. People rejoiced over Holder’s resignation. Why? His replacement was sure to be as bad if not worse. Why? Because the Senate has a Democratic majority and a useless and cowardly Senate minority.

    The only constraints on Obama can come from the Congress and/or Supreme Court. Without their restraints Obama is Dictator-in-Chief.

  • MarilynA

    Cream rises to the top. If all these diverse underachievers were brilliant, or even competent, they wouldn’t be at the bottom of the heap. The saying, “You can’t keep a good man down.” is true. There are too many competent blacks who have risen to the top. There are also too many incompetent minorities and women now holding executive level positions in government and industry (due to govt. mandates). Bill Clinton put so many of them on the government payroll and in charge of government agencies that it was reported that when Clinton left office not a single government agency had it’s books in good enough condition that they could be audited. However. Clinton may have put them there as Patsies, knowing he could stifle criticism by yelling Racism if, and when, all that missing and unaccounted for money was exposed. We have pushed the less than most qualified into top leadership positions for the past 50 years. As a result we have fallen from first place to way down the list in just about every category and china and other third world countries are eating out cake. What we need is not more affirmative action but to get back to common sense and put the most qualified person into the jobs that count. A NY City building inspector told me that when the fed. Govt ordered the city to hire a bunch of these incompetents that reports and important papers started disappearing. It was discovered that when one of them got something he didn’t know what to do with, he tore it up and flushed it down the John. Real Smart. Is this how we want out government agencies run?
