The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that crime in America is down, but too many in state and federal governments wouldn’t know a crime if billy club-wielding New Black Panthers intimidated white voters outside of a polling booth on election days. But just let an election registrar ask a black person for a photo ID before they vote for sheriff and the “return of Jim Crow” is at hand, according to a former President of the United States and faux civil rights “leaders.”

Moreover, the current President of the United States has even deemed the police as criminals when they questioned a man trying to jimmy his way into a Harvard professor’s house. Only a “Beer Summit” at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue got Barack Obama’s mind right about such crime-identification stupidity.

Into this milieu comes the just released FBI’s Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report which finds Metro Atlanta crime rates generally down in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first half of 2010.

Atlantans are reminded of similar reports of crime down in 2009 from 2008, with much of the drop in crime thought to be due in large part to self-deporting illegal immigrants in the wake of the Great Recession and a new Georgia law making it harder for illegals to obtain employment.

Surely it is good that crime is down, relatively speaking, and it is most assuredly heartwarming to have drops occur as poverty has increased, especially given decades of assurances that crime is a result economic deprivation. It seems the “experts” have missed some “data” on morality unencumbered by Marxist economic theory?

But who has time to celebrate less crime two years ago or this year, when:

• Atlanta Public School teachers conspire to essentially steal federal taxpayer No Child Left Behind money as they leave students behind in the wake of a test score teaching scandal?;
• Georgia Tech students are the victims of a violent crime wave in the heart of the City too Busy to Hate and when the City of College Park is number one in metro crime?; and
• Atlanta is home to DeKalb County prosecutors that wouldn’t even seek the death penalty against a Sheriff that murdered his successor after losing his bid for re-election and Fulton County juries that wouldn’t exact the ultimate punishment against a mass-murdering perpetrator in their own county courthouse?

The problem is that crime remains high and too many people simply won’t do what is necessary to take criminals off the streets and deter crime generally.

For instance, will Georgians now favor a proposed concealed carry law that would allow students to arm and protect themselves as do college students in Utah? Heard of any Beehive State crime waves at BYU? I didn’t think so.

Gun-free zones invite crime. Georgia Tech is a gun-free zone. So was Virginia Tech. It still is.

Praise God for the drop in crime but when the race lobby has invaded Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department who view the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts as only applying to non-whites and who have so much disdain for the right to self defense that they conspire with foreign criminals to wage a “Fast and Furious” fraud campaign against the Second Amendment, we know that there is no time to celebrate statistics.

A sure sign of just how close to anarchy we’ve come is this new notion that ‘democracy’ or majority rule should be a sure way to know the will of the people.  Whoever shouts loudest, longest, hardest wins the day.

The Founding Fathers knew how dangerous mob mentality can be; they’d seen in.  And so when they set out to devise government, they came up with ways to keep tyrant-kings from crushing folks with whim taxes or crushing mandates.  Freedom was paramount in the infrastructure to protect our new nation.  And so it was decided that a Republic would suit the bill.  Voices would gather to choose an official would speak on their behalf.  The ‘local level’ would work amongst themselves to figure out who would speak, and what they’d say.  This would preserve the diverse interests of our nation, while keeping the cacophonous voices organized.

It seems natural and sensible that groups would gather geographically, decide rules of behavior and govern themselves according to their beliefs.

So it was with great interest that I noticed a new lawsuit this morning.  A suit that challenges the formation of newer, smaller cities in the metropolitan Atlanta area.

Finding themselves on the fringe of the bustling metropolis and really suburb-cities with shopping zones and city services, etc. the citizens believed they could be better served by more-local voices.  After years of planning, districting, jockeying with county and city officials, working with the state…these small cities became efficient and strong; safe and clean.

What could possibly be wrong?

Blacks aren’t in control.  And we just can’t have that with a black President and a black mayor…we can’t permit there to be any areas where white people clump up and have the majority. Divide like the Red Sea this clump of white folks!

Maybe Atlanta wants the taxes back.  Maybe it’s because the state has a record 50/50 white to black ratio.  Whatever the case, Liberals want it both ways. They want to be the majority and the minority.  They want to be the loudest voice even if they are the fewest in the room.

Can you imagine the outcry if a white Reverend launched a lawsuit to dissolve cities that are predominantly black (and there are those) in the same area? The outcry would be Racism. And so this play is Racism.

This mood, this tactic is making the rounds.

This echoes what’s happened in Wisconsin.  Use the law as a weapon to blast into power.

And if the majority votes go against them, they cry foul…they want a court to stop everything until they can wrest control back again.

This is what’s happening in the Federal level as well.  It is not simply good enough for the Conservatives to keep the Liberals from progressing, we must beat them back; repeal their measures, bend the rules the way they’ve shown us they will…at least as far as they have.

Rep. Steve King reminds us that the Vietnam War was ended by a Liberal Congress defunding the war during a Continuing Resolution.  A Conservative Congress can surely defund ObamaCare using the same tool and the same language.

Follow-up…Salon.com did an article on the most segregated cities in America.

http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/03/29/most_segregated_cities/slideshow.html

But segregation does not equal racism.  The article could just as easily have been named “Black Strongholds” or “African American Supermajorities”
