The U.S. Department of Justice now claims that J. Christian Adams was "unhappy" in his job, despite the fact that he received a promotion on April 29th. This does not surprise me. As the administrators at DOJ cannot possibly understand the concepts of honor or integrity, they would therefore be unable to identify anybody who operates on those principles.
Adams quit because Eric Holder's Department of Justice has decided to only pursue civil rights complaints if the complaints are by people of color against white people. This is not only blatantly racist and illegal, but dangerous to our Republic, in that it legalizes intimidation at the voting booth. As long as the voters are white.

9 Simple Truths
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
- William J.H. Boetcker, 1916, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln
I saw this in a post by Left Coast Rebel, in which he goes on to describe each of these 9 points. Very nicely done. Thanks for the reminder. I recommend following the link to his blog to see his thoughtful expansion on these ideas.
