Eric Holder, sworn in Tuesday as attorney general, promised a clean break with the past policies of the Bush administration, saying the Justice Department will be “no place for political favoritism.”
“I am determined to ensure that this shall be a new day for the dedicated career professionals that I am so honored to call my colleagues,” Holder told various employees and dignitaries gathered for the ceremony. He said he was committed to remaking the department “into what it once was and what is always should be.”
Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath to President Barack Obama’s pick for the nation’s top law enforcement officer, the first African-American to hold the post.
Biden said the department, under Holder, would return to a past standard of “no politics, no ideology. Only a clear assessment of facts and law.”
Hundreds of department employees packed the hallways and stairways to welcome Holder. To loud cheers and applause, he pledged to remake the department by “taking it back to what it once was and always has to be.”
Holder was confirmed Monday evening by a 75-21 Senate vote, with all the opposition coming from Republicans.
Holder takes over a department wracked by Bush administration scandals over politically motivated hirings and firings. He has pledged to restore its reputation.
For starters, the new attorney general will learn the secrets of the Office of Legal Counsel, whose lawyers justified the use of controversial interrogation tactics and even declined to provide Bush administration documents to internal Justice Department investigators.

It’s their game, he doesn’t have to pay. In fact they pay him, to shut up and do as he’s told. Otherwise, the conspiracy would come crashing down. Why do you think that it is, that there can be no outsiders allowed in anymore?
I don’t see how anyone or anything can stop them now. They have bought everyone and everything, except the people, and they are quickly and quietly building the facilities for the explicit reason to quell the people after they realize that they have been swindled and robbed by the biggest hoax and scam in the worlds history. That being the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the changing of the 16th Amendment to directly tax your paycheck creating the Federal Income Tax. Both are highly un-Constitutional by our law of the land (The Constitution).
Good luck to us all.

Change we can believe in?!? The Obama administration is looking like a Cliton redux, or at the very least a Clinton/Bush hybrid. Meet the new boss….same as the old boss(es).
Do we have some Janet Reno style Waco/Ruby Ridge massacres to look forward to for old times sake? Wonder how long it will be before he decides to go after weapons – after all, unarmed sheep makes the elite very merry….

The Great sphincter shall open and pour fourth excrement. And the anointed shall bless the greatest of the piles of excrement and said piles shall become LAW. The Nobelmen and the lesser Kings shall be exempt from such laws while they are in favor of the Great King. The peasants and slaves shall be subject to said law. Violation of said piles of excrement is punishable by imprisonment or death.

holder is an anti-gun a-hole, some how I hope people understand the constitution on matters like bad laws…. we the people don’t have to comply with violations of the second amendment or any law that is in violation of the constitution…and by going to court when the jury knows the law is b.s. they will not enforce the farce of a bad law….this is what happened during the 1920s with prohibition. …jury’s got tried of the stupid law and stopped convicting people for running and selling booze.

Endless BS…
“no politics, no ideology. Only a clear assessment of facts and law.”
No politics?
Just like Obama’s “no lobbyists”…
It is no shock that politicians lie to the public. However, it never ceases to amaze me that people continue to listen to politicians despite being lied to continually.
It’s a little spooky sometimes.
If you’re fed up with being treated like an idiot, stop acting like one. Stop running out to vote in elections like a brainwashed primate, stop listening to the grinning idiots on TV, stop using their money and stop supporting their system.
If we stop using their filthy money, the Federal Reserve System will die and their politicians will go with them.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

the gosple is toppling the muslims even though all the war against them. there is no truth to it. there is only one truth. True Science , the Word, Jesus rose from the dead even with a pratorien gaurd of 120 men outside of HIS tomb watching odered to give their lifes to death 120 of the most viscious fighting soildiers this world has ever seen. He arose He is returning. I had many good things in this life the blessings of the bankers. Now i was taken by shisters but i realize this life is a like a vapor, the things of this world will not compare to the things of the next.
the parable of Lazarreth and the rich man, Lazareth is the gentiles we the gentiles had the good things while the rich man Judah use to and now is in torment, the gosple is gooing forth and will bless those who recieve it. The blessings of Abraham go with it. Recieve Abrahams blessings today.
Recieve His Awesome unending grace today
the gifts and the call are irresistable or with out repentance. His grace is unmerrited with out what we could ever do. Respond to it today recieve it today.

We have no attorney general. We have no secretary of state. We have no treasury secretary. We have no president. Obongo is not constitutionally qualified, as he is not a natural-born citizen. That makes his appointments null, as well as any “laws” he or congress “passes.”

Да это нечто. С этим трудно не согласится, но трудно поспорить. Сколько людей столько и мнений. Удивительная вещь эта жизнь.
