Czars At The Commanding Heights
Power Line | 9/19/10 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 09/19/2010 9:55:51 PM PDT by Nachum

From the beginning, the Obama administration has been big on appointing leftist "czars." The first wave of them was appalling but probably not terribly consequential (e.g., Van Jones, czar of "pie in the sky," or whatever). Now, however, Obama has placed czars in top positions at the commanding heights of our economy. Specifically, he has bypassed the Senate confirmation procedure by (1) installing Don Berwick, via recess appointment, as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and (2) making Elizabeth Warren a "special adviser"

If there were ever an enemy of prosperity and opportunity for the middle class, it is the Marxist Barack Hussein Obama.

He is a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.

Bowing to foreign leaders, hanging out with terrorists and racists, pushing for amnesty for all illegal aliens in the country, pushing for same sex marriage in spite of the voters' wishes, trying to nationalize health insurance, nationalizing student loans, nationalizing two car companies, setting pay scales in companies not controlled by the government, regulating CO2 emissions, and on and on...

Obama bamboozled millions... gave them the old 'okee doke.' What a moron. He can have as extreme a views as he wants. But he can't transfer them and remake America with them.

Time to end the experiment brought on by the piss-steam media and the Bush derangement crowd.

These Czars are not Constitutional - how are they even legal, what the hell is happening to our republic? Why are the good men doing nothing about it?

Good men are doing something..They are who they have always been, the real providers and protectors of freedom in this nation. They are to be found in every profession and walk of life..Few will be found in the ruling class. Now that the parasites have been identified, good men and women will not stand by to do nothing. It is clear that many of the elites in government and academia are a sham and "the people" are demanding a return to common sense. If I am going to build a house, will I hire someone who has only studied about how to build without ever touching a hammer. NO! I am going to seek someone who has built many houses. This is the difference between those in government and academia who are ruining our nation and those in the private sector who know how to do all the work required to run a civilization which takes care of people. Those who only know how to steal the fruits of this labor should be removed from those who produce these fruits. This is why we are now choosing our candidates from the throngs of real people. Let the academics get back to teaching reading, writing and 'rithmetic, rather than Marxist ideology. We might then see our public schools turn out many more good men and women who will love and protect freedom.
