"Contempt of Congress, contempt of Congress," Pelosi said. "To frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country. I'm telling you, this is connected. It is no accident. It is a decision and it is as clear as can be. It's not only to monopolize his time, it's to undermine his name. To undermine his name, undermine his name, as he goes forward to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." (Politico, June 21, 2012)Lofty words from a career politician who decades ago sold out the United States of America to the United Nations. Republicans are investigating Holder, Pelosi said, because they want to distract him from stopping voter suppression laws.
"They're going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn these voter suppression initiatives in the states," she said. "This is no accident. It is no coincidence. It is a plan on the part of the Republicans."For all of her poisonous charges in a supra arranged press conference, Pelosi’s days of clout are day before yesterday. No longer do family and friends get to hear the first female Speaker of the House pontificate at large while sipping highballs on taxpayer-paid-for military jets. In her diatribes against witch-hunting Republicans and her never-ending pitches for ObamaCare, people may forget Pelosi’s hardcore activist past. While Barack Obama was out agitating on the streets of Chicago, Pelosi was patiently shepherding the destructive UN Agenda 21 through Congress. On March 29, 1993, she introduced a joint resolution (H.J.RES166) to renew the call for the United States to “assume a strong leadership role in implementing Agenda 21 and other Summit agreements”, eventually gathering 67 co-sponsors for her bill, about 32 of whom are still in Congress. In a speech entitled “From Swords to Plowshares", delivered in the House of Representatives on June 4, 1992, Pelosi cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant.
“The National Park Service is actively seeking ideas for programs and tenants at this spectacular site. Last month, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev visited the Presidio to propose that the Gorbachev Foundation/use be located at the Presidio when the army leaves. In his words, “it is wonderful and symbolic that a military base is being converted for use by the people'. “As the cold war ends,” Pelosi continued, “it is, indeed, fitting that this army garrison--one of the oldest in the United States--will be transformed to a monument to peace, environmental preservation and recreation as a global park.”Less than a year after Pelosi's fawning words, Gorbachev and his American pre-funded $3.5-million Gorbachev Foundation moved into new a white, shingled bay front house at the historic Presidio overlooking the Golden Bridge. Next, avowed Communist Gorbachev brought his State of the Art Forum to the Presidio. Pelosi’s power butt licking goes well beyond Obama and ObamaCare. Envelope licking is in part of her blood. Pelosi cut her teeth on political campaigns for her father, Thomas (“Tommy”) J. D’Alesandro Jr., Baltimore’s first Italian-American Mayor. To many Americans it is poetic justice that in their lifetimes Pelosi ended up where so many envelope lickers end: the Unending State of the Ignored.
