An open letter to Senator Kyl

This is a letter I sent to Senator Jon Kyl in response to his vote of “YEA” on the nomination of Eric Holder to the office of Attorney General.

Senator Kyl,

Let me preface my letter by stating that I have been a strong supporter of yours for many years, and I have almost never been disappointed. I have the utmost respect for you and what you have done in the Senate, and it makes me very proud to be able to say I have a representative I can trust.

Unfortunately, that is what makes this so painful to write. I see that you voted yea to the nomination of Eric Holder, which is something I had hoped I could count on you to not do. Mr. Holder’s history is shameful, and his behavior under the Clinton administration only serves to reinforce the fact that he is not, and has never been, the right man for the job of Attorney General. In addition to using his power to halt the investigations of the travesty at Waco, his role in the Elian Gonzales fiasco, his role in the pardons of the FALN terrorists and Mark Rich show him to be corrupt, and not someone to be trusted with the position of power he has now been given. I am disappointed that you chose to vote in favor of giving him this power, and would ask that in representing me and the rest of this great state that you return to your habit of voting against corruption and big government as you so often have in the past.

While it is too late to undo this vote, it is not too late to keep up the good fight going forward. These are times when conservatives have little to be hopeful for in Washington, and I can only hope and pray that you continue to be one of those people who we can rely on.

Thank you, and best wishes going forward. You are in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Dan G.

Obama’s cabinet selections made official, also, the war is cool now

Nothing surprising, but it’s official now:

President-elect Obama officially announced his national security team today, naming Hillary Clinton, a top rival for the Democratic nomination with whom he sparred on foreign policy, as his Secretary of State.

Obama also retained Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon, named former Marine Commandant and NATO Supreme Allied Commander retired Gen. James L. Jones as his national security adviser, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano Secretary of Homeland Security and campaign foreign policy adviser and Africa expert Susan Rice as ambassador to the United Nations.

Additionally, Obama officially named Eric Holder attorney general.

I previously talked about the disaster Napolitano would be in this position, it looks like now we’ll get to see if I was right. The other really notable name on this list is Eric Holder – the same guy who was instrumental in the shady Clinton pardon of Mark Rich, the billionare tax evader who makes oil deals with terrorists. Holder also helped out with the strongly-opposed pardoning of 16 FALN terrorists who were responsible for at least 120 bombings on American soil which caused “6 deaths and the permanent maiming of dozens of others, including law enforcement officials,” according to Congress. The idea that such a man could be appointed to an office that requires him to enforce the laws he so blatantly disregards is so absurd it would take a Clinton to think of it. Yes, it appears we’re headed for Clinton’s third term – this time with even more Kool-aid and no economic wave to ride.

So instead they’re setting up to give Obama all the credit for the victory in Iraq. He hasn’t done anything yet, and we’ve already won, but somehow it will remain a hopeless quagmire until sometime around January 21st, at which point NBC will acknowledge what we already know by announcing a victory in Iraq. But they’ll redirect all the praise to the newly-appointed Messiah figure they’ve propped up for themselves and try to slather onto his cardboard image a bit of legitimacy. It will be desperate, and it won’t be pretty, but then again… what have they done lately that was?
