At this late stage of a demented, deceitful game, I probably should be unsurprised that the ambush murder of five policemen by a venom-filled black radical is used as the springboard, not to demand accountability for the hate peddlers and the violence they breed, but to upbraid police and suggest that the answer is easier access to drugs. That's fine  -- I guess  --  for libertarian ideologues.  It's something else for the President of the United States.

In his remarks in Spain, Obama decried "the larger, persistent problem of African Americans and Latinos being treated differently in our criminal justice system." Yet there is no disparate treatment; this is Obama's big lie. It's not just Obama's, of course, but Obama has adopted it as his own and turned it to his own uses. It's all about "fundamental transformation."

Racial disparities permeate the criminal justice system. They do not derive from police misconduct or a broken criminal justice system. They derive from underlying behavioral disparities. Racial disparities in the criminal justice system reflect the underlying behavioral disparities. Obama's "cause," as he refers to it, is founded on a poisonous lie.
