Attorney General Eric Holder’s Genius for Informative Public Speaking Was on Display Yesterday — Too Bad that He So Rarely Harnessed It to Democracy’s Ideals, when Expressed outside the Civil Rights Arena

Gifts this enormous deserved a more obvious heart to go with them

 

If you watch (or watched) a portion of Attorney General Eric Holder’s talk about his Justice Department’s Ferguson Police Department report, you will recognize a man with genius for flowing public speaking. His easily understood delivery, thoughtful organization, and detailed support of each of his points were impeccable.

 

Very, very few human beings can do what he so fluidly demonstrated.

 

With a mind and talent like his, it is all the more sad that Attorney General Holder cooperated with President Obama in making the Justice Department a collaborator in the American Plutocracy’s flood of wrongdoing. Outside of civil rights law, Eric Holder’s Justice Department was arguably a disaster for a once free people.

 

 

The moral? — Genius wasted is a pity — genius spent in aid of wrong doing is a social tragedy

 

Watching Eric Holder’s towering talent today made me sad that his record as Attorney General was not an inspiring one.

 

Even with glowing talents — in the absence stalwart integrity and motivating heart — we accomplish little in aid of humankind.

 

I suspect that Holder and Obama’s professed God would be disappointed by the majority of purposes to which these men put the gifts that He so generously gave them.
