The Nation reported yesterday that President Obama has dispatched the Department of Justice to investigate states that have enacted voter ID laws:

Career lawyers in the civil rights division of the Justice Department, who were frequently sidelined and overruled during the Bush Administration, are reasserting their authority and independence under Obama. They may be the only ones who can halt the GOP’s war on voting.

This is the same Department of Justice that abandoned the open-and-shut case against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation.

As whistleblower J. Christian Adams writes in his new book, Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department: “from the advent of the Obama administration in January 2009, it was clear resistance to the case went to the top of the Civil Rights Division and beyond.”

Two presidents, two administrations, two complaints. Who is right? Is the argument over voter rights enforcement merely a political battle that Americans are doomed to re-live with each change of government?

The debate goes deeper than partisanship. It is a clash between two different visions of civil rights and tolerance. One applies the same rules to all. The other imposes different moral and legal burdens according to race.

That double standard goes far beyond the Department of Justice. (more…)

Anne Leary is a conservative blogger found at http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/.  She claims to have recently met Bill Ayers at the Reagan National Airport.  She approached him and out of the blue, he claimed to have written Barack Obama’s bestseller Dreams from My Father. Was he joking?  Serious?

I wanted to have Anne Leary on my radio show right away to see if she was reliable and to see what Ayers may have been trying to tell her.  I have been actively tracking Jack Cashill’s investigation into the possibility Bill Ayers was Obama’s ghostwriter for Dreams.  I was very skeptical of the story at first but Jack’s research and Christopher Andersen’s favorable book on the First Couple both supported that Ayers did, in fact, play a significant role in Obama’s book (which President Obama claims he wrote with no help).
