And we practice.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Washington (CNN) -- Members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission shouted at each other Friday over the Justice Department's decision to drop most of the charges in a 2008 incident in which black militants confronted voters at a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, polling place, leading to charges of voter intimidation.
Conservative commission members accused the Justice Department of "stonewalling" the commission's investigation into the dismissal, and called a Justice Department's response to requests for information "breathtaking and insulting." A liberal commission member, in turn, dismissed those complaints as the "last gasps of a conservative majority of this commission."
At the end of the fractious hour-long debate, no minds appeared to be changed. But one liberal member sided with the conservative majority in agreeing to recommend that Congress give the commission more power when investigating Justice Department matters in the future.

In a letter this week to the commission, Perez again said the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is "firmly committed to the evenhanded application of the law, without regard to the race of the victims or perpetrators." He does not believe Coates "is the appropriate witness to testify regarding current Division policies," he said.
That drew a strong response from commission conservatives.
"They, by virtue of this letter, gave us their back hand," said commissioner Peter Kirsanow. "This is contemptuous of this particular process," he said.

Great, civil rights is a pigmented issue. Who knew white people have no civil rights. One less thing. Thanks Eric.
You summed it up nicely, they ignore any law Obama or his handler choose to.
They're biting us NOW!
It seems that things will get heated once Conservatives take over Congress. The left will be exposed and shining the lights will continue to bring out the leftist kooks. From the little I saw on tv the yelling turned very ugly.
Translating the liberal member’s comment, “We won.”
And we practice.
Yes, I saw two clips on Megyn Kelly’s show and it was ugly, the Dem Commissioner Yaki(?) was out of control.
Note to self: More government “jobs” that need to be eliminated. Wow, there’s so much of government I could slash if somebody would just give me the keys for a day.
>> Its a dog and pony show..just like ethics committee
The apathy is justified.
>> Dem Commissioner Yaki(?) was out of control.
Given the name, political association, and title, I’m not surprised...
With this crowd, everything is about race, and the strategy may work, given that most members of non-white groups seem receptive to their racial message.
If we can get back the House, let’s hope our side subpoenas all the creeps involved to a full scale congressional investigation.
heh heh heh
Yep, it was the arm waiving, hand gesturing spittle flying type out of control. :)
I sure wouldn’t try to make an argument against that right now. Everything Obama and thugs are doing now it seems the race card comes out.
You guys can’t fight in here, this is the race war room.
LOL! Good one.
Some animals are more equal than others.

Grab ankles and bend over. This corrupt administration ain’t done yet. We’s got a lot more payin’ to do for slavery! They know we’ll just bow down in submission and say “yes massa.”
Anybody have a youtube link?
I’ve been looking on Fox and you tube and haven’t found one as yet, I’ll ping you if I do
