Commie- Czars
Oct 14, 2009 Political
Or commissars, whatever you think the term most fits- the administration is riddled with them, much like termites eating their way through your home, so are they busy munching their way through our Constitution, our Rights, our lives.
We need Terminex, or the equivalent that gets rid of these governmental leeches.
There are just so many of them- and all of them with a negative agenda, when it comes to our Constitution.
Eric Holder — Attorney General of the United States. A handpicked Obama/Jarrett selection, who earlier this year referred to the United States as “a nation of cowards” on race relations, Mr. Holder is a shiningly despicable example of everything wrong when politics and personal ambition dictate the parameters of American justice.
Prior to grasping the brass ring of the department where he’d toiled during the Clinton Administration, Mr. Holder was responsible for these widely-reported miscarriages of justice: (1) He streamlined the Clinton Administration’s pardon of fugitive billionaire Marc Rich by steering Rich’s representatives to a former White House counsel, then helped lobby the President to pardon Rich (“an unrepentant fugitive wanted on extensive fraud, racketeering, and trading-with-the-enemy charges”). Holder did so for personal gain, later admitting he hoped this would help him become Attorney General in a Gore administration. Mr. Holder concealed the pardon negotiations from other prosecuting and investigative agencies to prevent their opposition. Mr. Rich’s wife was a generous donor to both President Clinton’s library as well as his legal-defense fund.
(2) “In 1999, over the objections of the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons, and prosecuting attorneys, Holder supported Clinton’s commutation of the sentences of 16 FALN conspirators. These pardons – of terrorists who even Holder has conceded had not expressed any remorse – were issued in the months after al-Qaeda’s 1998 U.S. embassy bombings…. The commutations were nakedly political, obviously designed by Clinton to assist his wife’s impending Senate campaign by appealing to New York’s substantial Puerto Rican vote.”
(3) Holder was also instrumental in the “stealth pardons” of two Weather Underground terrorists, Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans (both closely associated with President Obama’s terrorist friends, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn). Rosenberg and Evans had been serving decades-long sentences for bombings targeting American government facilities. Again Holder helped circumvent the pardon process and evade objections from prosecutors regarding the terrorists’ jail terms.Just this summer, now-Attorney General Holder dismissed prosecution of an obvious case (it was filmed) of voter intimidation by members of the New Black Panthers, while also instigating prosecutorial investigations into CIA interrogation techniques of terrorist combatants. Attorney General Holder is a strong advocate for the release of the Islamofascist enemy combatants currently held at Guantanamo Bay.

Yep, that is one- and he is the Attorney General, is supposed to uphold the law, not circumvent justice as he does routinely, a communist trait- favor the leftists
Then there is John Holdren, our proud nation’s Science Czar- Really??? Science? This is a comedy sketch, right?
John Holdren Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Other than Mr. Holdren’s well known and oft repeated morally relativistic denial of American exceptionalism, one and only one thing need to be said here about President Obama’s “Science” Czar – he is Barack Obama’s twin on the matter of abortion and has advocated compulsory abortion. Here it is again: President Obama searched for, reached out, and chose as his chief “science advisor” a plasma physicist who advocates compulsory abortion.
As John Griffing wrote of Holdren in “Enough is Enough,” for American Thinker
...for a true outrage, consider new Czar of Science, John P. Holdren, who, in a stunning display of unabashed evil, has actively advocated compulsory abortion
There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated…It has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
If that doesn’t send a chill down your spine, consider his words, “All the children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons.” Let that sink in: an American official supports forced abortion and the death of “grown persons.” We know what that looks like. It has been official policy for years in Communist China.

But the person who may be the most influential in how we live, and under what restraints, is our Resident’s Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein.
Cass Sunstein — Administrator of the White House Office of Administration and Regulatory Affairs. He is a Harvard Law School professor and newly-minted husband of President Obama’s Senior Director, Multilateral Affairs, National Security Council, the Israel-phobic Samantha Power (one of several husband-wife teams in the Obama White House). Mr. Sunstein’s belief structure could understandably be called “Leftist kook” or “fringe” if not downright lunatic. Herewith:
In a 2007 speech at Harvard, Sunstein called for banning all hunting in the United States. All. Everywhere.
He actually put in writing, in his 2004 book, Animals that, “Animals should be permitted to bring [law] suit, with human beings as their representatives….”Were Mr. Sunstein to succeed as President Obama’s head regulator of all things American, what might happen to those millions of hunting rifles and shotguns he doesn’t want gathering dust in your cabinet?
Mr. Sunstein is a reputed “1st Amendment scholar.” Having attended law school myself and actually practiced law for a quarter century rather than retreat to the head-swelling-brain-shrinking environs of academia, I can assure you that if he is, America is in very deep trouble. President Obama has made clear his White House Masterregulator is intended to regulate virtually every aspect of American’s lives – including the environment, healthcare, finance, and the economy – regardless of your feelings about such matters much less your freedom and liberty. Sunstein has argued in his prolific literary works (one bookstore tour de force was a whopping 84 pages) that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.
A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government… Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom’s name.
americanthinker.com
And this guy is a 1st Amendment scholar? Really? I mean, in the theoretical world of Narnia, perhaps- but the first Amendment has no boundaries other than the common sense ones, (cannot shout “fire” in a crowded theater, etc.), but to limit freedom of speech? And that is just one part of this equation. Religion and freedom of the press are mixed in there also, and under fire just as surely.
This is a guy who believes that our Resident should be the ultimate arbiter of what is constitutional- and that judges need not weigh in.
The interpretation of Federal Law should be made not by judges but by the beliefs and commitments of the U.S. president and those around him, according to President Obama’s newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.
“There is no reason to believe that in the face of statutory ambiguity, the meaning of federal law should be settled by the inclinations and predispositions of federal judges. The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him,” argued Sunstein.
This statement was the central thesis of Sunstein’s 2006 Yale Law School paper, “Beyond Marbury: The Executive’s Power to Say What the Law Is.” The paper, in which he argues the president and his advisers should be the ones to interpret federal laws, was obtained and reviewed by WND.
Sunstein debated the precedent-setting 1803 case, Marbury v. Madison, which determined it is “emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.”
wnd.com
Yeah- no I don’t think that our Resident should act like a King (which he is not) and interpret the laws- that is precisely what we have courts for- and indeed, in the case of Marbury v. Madison, have ruled satisfactorily on this issue, but apparently, not for Mr. Sunstein. But to even postulate otherwise is rather traitorous, given that this would treat the Constitution as an “Inconvenient” piece of paper- and it is much, much more than that.
The crux of our problem with Mr. Sunstein is that he will be writing the regulations that will be governing our lives, taxing our money, and curtailing our freedoms. These will encompass many of the freedoms we take for granted now, not just freedom of speech, but through his regulatory powers, he will be able to have a disproportionate say in our lives, all facets, and all the little nooks and crannies. No Amendment would be safe.
Now, I am sure that there are some on the left, who relish constrained freedoms- they will gladly trade their freedoms for a nice, womb-to- tomb controlled existence- much like that traitor character in the Matrix, there are some who can’t stand to live on their feet, using their talent to get ahead. No, these people are scared-
And they are more than willing to live on their knees.

They Will “Nudge” You To Be Skinny
Sep 3, 2009 Political
Cass Sunstein, the “Regulatory Czar” in Hussein’s little cadre of tinpot dictatorettes he surrounds himself with, is merrily on his way to putting his crackpot theories into effect, which means that you too could be sued by an animal near you. Admittedly, he will use this ridiculous proposition to go after the meat producers in this country, with the end result that they would be forced out of business, or at the very least, taxed into the poorhouse- either way, it would mean that the price and accessibility of meat, whether it be beef, chicken, fish or other, would be ridiculously high priced if available at all.
Chief among the personnel who oversee the regulatory process is the administrator of an unheralded office within the White House’s Office of Management and Budget called the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). The administrator is also known as the “Regulatory Czar.” Earlier this year the President nominated Cass Sunstein to run this office. Sunstein’s nomination is now pending before the full Senate. A vote on his nomination is expected next week.
Unless you work on regulatory matters involving the federal, government you are probably not aware that OIRA exists. However, the office has tremendous influence on the number and scope of regulations that come out of the various federal agencies. The office acts as the gatekeeper vetting both final regulations that become law as well as proposed regulations.
~snip~
Some of Mr. Sunstein’s views are troubling to say the least. He is on record supporting rights for animals including giving standing to private persons to sue on behalf of animals under existing laws. He has also stated that he believes there should be more regulation in the area of animal rights.
This is slippery slope to say the least. What will happen if he is presented with a regulatory situation where he is free to “follow the law” as well as advance his own personal views at the same time? And what if he uses the power of this office to influence the law he then eagerly follows?
blog.getliberty.org
Yeah, no kidding- to say that this geek’s views are troubling is akin to saying that hell is warm. The position he is being appointed to is regulatory, which means that he will be overseeing virtually everything, not just the food you eat (which would be bad enough), but everything that the Federal government can regulate, and they can regulate a lot.
If he is confirmed by the Senate, Cass Sunstein will be, in effect, one of the most powerful men in the government. He could push through regulations that punish certain groups, whether they be energy groups, ranchers and farmers, water rights advocates, virtually everything that affects your everyday existence and your ability to earn money and thrive.
Thrive is a word people do not use enough, as they have become blase about “thriving”- we as a nation have come to expect to “thrive”- if Sunstein has his way, you won’t be doing too much of that good old- time thriving anymore.
Given Sunstein’s troubling statements and advocacy, he should not be confirmed to run OIRA. The Senate should vote down his nomination.
And in so doing, it should send a clear message to the President that a nominee with radically leftwing views concerning issues like animal rights should not be in a position where he has the opportunity to craft laws, rules, and regulations that could plunge the livestock industry into a litigation abyss from which it may never emerge.
blog.getliberty.org
If you like burgers, steaks, or really any meat, this has to trouble you- there will be no Burger Kings, or Mickey Ds, or really any fast food. But beyond that, you will not be allowed to hunt, or fish ( he hasn’t addressed what happens to the millions of overpopulated wildlife who will starve to death, slowly, if they are not kept in check, or stunted fish who will overpopulate our lakes), but that is just the beginning.
Will you even be allowed to eat veggies? That is a question you might ask John Holdren, who believes even trees have rights, ( and by extension, broccoli and squash- can they sue in court if they were brutally picked?). He is another of Nobama’s advisors. Where does he dig these nutjobs up? Did he really think that these were smart people while he was smoking a blunt?
You’d have to figure our “Reviled Leader” had to be on drugs in order to pick this many loons- and by simple association, he must be right up there too. So we have a drug-addled Resident, who appoints crazy people to positions of power, and they are going to starve us by regulating the Breadbasket of America out of business.
How’s that “Change” workin’ out for you?

Obama Does Not Understand The Constitution
Apr 28, 2009 Political
I have heard time and again that Barack Obama was a Constitutional law professor and this was supposed to mean that his word held some kind of weight on issues regarding the Constitution. I have written before that Obama is no scholar when it comes to that important document and he has discussed how the courts should have undone constraints the Founder’s placed on government. Obama is a believer in judicial activism and thinks the courts should decide in favor of undoing what the Constitution enumerates.
Barack Obama has nominated a pal from the University of Chicago Law School to be his “regulatory czar.” Cass Sunstein is an anti Constitution moron who wants to enact things that he admits violate the Constitution. Sunstein is interested in regulating the Internet because, to him:
“A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government,” he wrote. “Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom’s name.” World Net Daily
Perhaps this Chicago thug and absolute moron is unaware but America is all about limitless individual choices whether it is in communications or any other arena and that this is absolutely in the best interest of citizenship and self-government. To this schmuck, we should ignore freedom in order to regulate FREE SPEECH. I wonder if he feels that burning a Flag is OK or if that is not in the interest of citizenship…
This moron is also in favor of a system that would not allow emails to be sent for a 24 hour “cooling off period” in order to regulate the nasty emails that sometimes get sent. I agree that people often send emails when they are mad and regret it later but that is a decision with which they have to live. It is not up to government to regulate how we communicate in the name of civility.
He is also in favor or requiring posts on the Internet to have links to OPPOSING views. Call it the Internet Fairness Doctrine. He does not believe that you have the right to seek out only the opinions that you desire. In other words, you should be required to look for differing views. This guy is an idiot and has admitted as much when he stated that this view would “almost certainly [be] unconstitutional.”
This guy is an absolute disaster and as anti American as they come. He should not be confirmed to run anything and should be locked up in Gitmo for his anti American activities and beliefs. Here are a few other things this Communist, anti American believes:
- In a 2007 speech at Harvard he called for banning hunting in the U.S.
- In his book “Radicals in Robes,” he wrote: “[A]lmost all gun control legislation is constitutionally fine. And if the Court is right, then fundamentalism does not justify the view that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to bear arms.”
- In his 2004 book, “Animal Rights,” he wrote: “Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives …”
- In “Animal Rights: A Very Short Primer,” he wrote “[T]here should be extensive regulation of the use of animals in entertainment, in scientific experiments, and in agriculture.”
This guy believes that all gun control legislation is in agreement with the Constitution and believes that the Second Amendment does not confirm an individual right to bear arms. He is absolutely WRONG on this. The guys who wrote the Constitution had a big discussion on this and they all said that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual one. That settles the issue. We do not need revisionists changing the Constitution. We need to stick to the Founder’s intent and we will have no problems. What kind of Constitutional scholar is unaware of this?
This guy also believes that hunting should be banned and that animals have the right to sue and have humans as their representatives. Is this man on some of Obama’s leftover stash? The guy is out of his ever loving mind and if he is confirmed we will have all kinds of unconstitutional things flying around.
Why should this guy surprise us? He is no different than Obama who believes the Constitution is too restrictive. Hell, Obama must agree with this brain dead parasite because Obama selected him and then praised him:
“As one of America’s leading constitutional scholars, Cass Sunstein has distinguished himself in a range of fields, including administrative law and policy, environmental law, and behavioral economics,” said Obama at his nomination of his regulatory czar. “He is uniquely qualified to lead my administration’s regulatory reform agenda at this crucial stage in our history. Cass is not only a valued adviser, he is a dear friend and I am proud to have him on my team.”
All one needs to do is read what this guy wrote and listen to what he beleives and it will be clear that he is not a Constitutional scholar, he is not distinguished, and that he is not uniquely qualified.
He is anti American and he is an idiot. His brain is rotted from too many drugs.
I don’t know if he will be confirmed or not but if he makes it in I intend to ignore anything he wants to regulate.
No dissenting links, no ban on hunting and no gun control for me.
And if he and Obama do not like it they can go back to law school and learn what the real Constitution says.
