Eric Holder Says Pardons for FALN Terrorists Were Reasonable
I am not sure what you have to do wrong if you are a Barack Obama cabinet nominee to have your appointment denied. Timothy Geithner is going to be confirmed as Treasury Secretary even though he was a known tax evader who was reimbursed by the company he worked for for the taxes he never paid, he is now going to be in charge of the IRS along with fellow tax cheat Charlie Rangel. And now we have Eric Holder, Obama choice for Attorney General, when questioned on his recommendation to President Clinton that 16 unrepentent FALN terrorist be pardoned claimed that that decision was “reasonable”.
These terrorists were linked to over 130 bombings and other violent crimes, here is what Erik Holder had to say about the pardons:
These were criminals, these were terrorists, these were bad people,” Holder said. “The president’s determination was they did not commit any acts themselves. Given the length of the sentences, 16-to-19 years, given the lengthy sentences, it was his determination that the clemency requests were appropriate. Given all that I’ve described, what the president did was reasonable
They didn’t commit the crimes themselves, so while they are criminals who were involved in murders, bombing, robbery, and the like it is reasonable that they should be pardoned. That’s good to know, by this logic a person can hire a hitman to kill somebody and because he didn’t commit the crime himself it would be reasonable to pardon him.
It is not surprising when you read the quote from Holder above that Barack Obama chose him for the job, after all Barack Obama has an affinity for “palling around with” unrepentant terrorists and he wants to close GITMO and give enemy combatants full rights to a trial guaranteed in the UNITED STATES constitution (for Americans).
Eric Holder should fit right in.
America's Watchtower 
When Ronald Reagan took office, we were the largest creditor nation in the world and the largest importer of raw materials –which our American workforce transformed into the best-made goods in the world, both for American consumers and for export to the rest of the world. By the time Reagan left office, the United States of America was the largest debtor nation in the world. Reagan championed tax cuts but he did so by borrowing money, i.e., taxing Americans not yet born. He tripled the National Debt (after campaigning on a promise to reduce it.) The National Debt continued to rise under Bush Sr., fell under Clinton, then rose again under Bush, Jr. It is now TEN TIMES what it was when Reagan took office— and that is before calculating in all of the bailouts. Is this “conservative fiscal responsibility”?

I was stunned when he just outright admitted that he had recommended pardoning terrorists and to this day he still thought he had done the right thing. Unbelievable!!!!!!! No Republican would EVER get away with this!

And it doesn’t even seem to matter to anyone, that is what is really frustrating to me.

Speaking of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:
Eric Holder is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

Uh, all you did was copy and paste your same comment from another post, chamging Barack Obama’s name to Eric Holder’s. Please come up with an original thought.

Hey, why no comment about Reagan tripling the National Debt, and turning us from the largest creditor nation in the world to the largest debtor nation in the world?

Because it has nothing to do with this post. Some blog owners remove off topic comments, but I leave them in case anyone else decides to comment further on them.

I see, Mr. Pink Eyes. I was here to read the post but I saw that picture of Reagan and his quote about the government, and that inspired me to write my comment. I didn’t mean to divert anyone’s attention from the topic, at least, not intentionally. My apologies.
