Yesterday, the Senate voted 63-35 to invoke cloture on the nomination of animal rights activist Cass Sunstein to be the nation’s new “regulatory czar,” which means the Senate can proceed with a vote to confirm him. The vote will likely occur before the end of the night. Obviously troubling is Sunstein’s apparent devotion to Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation (and the philosopher whom radical PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk calls her life’s inspiration). Singer is infamous for his belief that it’s permissible to kill newborn children since they’re supposedly no more special than a dog.
On the Fox News Channel yesterday, CCF’s Director of Research sat down with Glenn Beck for a chat about Sunstein’s philosophy and what it could mean for America’s food producers—and everyone else whose work judiciously uses animals. Building off of last week’s discussion with Beck about how Sunstein could abuse the Endangered Species Act to put cattlemen out of business, we told Beck’s audience of millions how Sunstein can write his animal rights philosophy into law:
Sunstein is very careful and will go about his transformation in a methodical and subtle way. He is likely, I think, to use the USDA to take meat and dairy products out of school lunches and is likely to use the Department of Interior to stop hunting and fishing on federal land and will use the USDA to make it difficult to use animals as lab rats for curing cancer and AIDS. That's a huge problem.
Watch the whole segment here.
There are some things you have to let happen, so they WILL FAIL.
They should rethink their logic before it comes back to bite them.
Yeah...part of me believes....Obomba’s (p)Residency is one of those “things.”
Did any Republicans vote to confirm this lunatic?
Another Beck bullseye? Lets go for it
Maybe he’ll put a jackass in the White House. Oh, wait. They already did! :o)
PETA Whitehouse? This one’s more of a PITA.
Some voted for cloture. I don’t know if they’ve had an actual floor confirmation vote or not.
Peta = Hinduism by another name.
I hope all the dark predictions take place.
I can’t see a better way to assure Obama of being a one term president than to start f**king with peoples burgers and bbq.
Hindus break and set afire other people’s stuff and kill every animal entrusted to their care?
Yeah, so then the voters throw out Obama and give Republicans a majority in both houses of Congress, who promptly DON’T repeal anything the Dems did that caused them (Pubbies) to get elected. At least judging by past experience.
stop being right !
Sects of Hinduism certainly do act out against Christians.
I’d give anything to be wrong.
Yes, a People Eating Tasty Animals White House.

True.
Cass the Teutonic neo-Nazi Malthusian is a gift to bolster American freedom. His looney tunes animal rights agenda will destroy the rat party. No court has ever given a whiff of serious consideration to “animal rights” equality.
King obuma is insane.
My pastor told me this.....I’d never thought of it that way.
