•Czar appointees have seized unprecedented control over major aspects of government policy and programs. In some instances, unconfirmed czars have authority, in seeming violation of the U.S. Constitution, over certain Senate-confirmed officers. •A number of the czars have been linked to scandals, thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive statements, conflicts of interest, and radical leftist political ideologies and policies.

I hope we can make it to November 2012. Hell, I hope they’ll still be elections in Novembe 2012 but I’m beginning to wonder. We are a communist police state now.
Our people in Washington have turned their backs on the very people who elected them. They remain silent while our Constitution is destroyed, only opening their mouths to urge us to send more money.Our framers had the answer to what confronts our nation, but a sizable portion of our nation have been bought off.
Alexis de Tocqueville’s concerns have been proven to be well-founded. He was definitely correct. Americans just didn’t listen.
Politico reports:
The former House Speaker said that after the inaugural address, there’s a break before the traditional lunch — an opportunity for a newly-elected president to get right to work.
“Walk into a room, have all the documents already prepared, already on the Internet, already reviewed by the American people, already written by people who were in the Bush and Reagan White Houses, so they’re all technically correct,” he told the audience. “And just sign as fast as you can.”
Gingrich called for abolishing the Ninth Circuit Court, which he sees as part of an activist judiciary, abolishing all “czars” created by the Obama administration and ensuring no American money pays for abortion (the Constitution specifically gives Congress the power to “ordain and establish” lower courts).

I can’t think of a time in the past when America had “Czars”.
Can anyone tell me if this was ever a term used outside of Communist societies before?
“•A number of the czars have been linked to scandals, thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive statements, conflicts of interest, and radical leftist political ideologies and policies.”
And why not? They are essentially above the law like holder and hussein and not answerable or transparent to anyone.
It used to be
AliBaba and the 40 Thieves
now it’s
AliBama and the 40 Czars
Did he really say that?
Wow.
The first time I remember the term being used was when william Bennett was appointed “Drug Czar”. That was either Reagan or Bush 41. I think it was Reagan. But, he was a solely, lonely Czar for a special position.
He should also abolish Obamacare at the same time.
bttt
And a traditional implement for doing so.
Gingrich would have the guts to do just that.
I think so.
I wonder why none of the other canidates never mention the “Czars”?
“Constitution? We don’t need no steenking constitution.”
I think yes, Gingrich has screwed up a bunch but I also know that he absolutely loves our country and he knows that we are in trouble.
Gingrich LOVES and reveres history plus he has a pretty good ego. Smart as a whip to boot.
Gingrich wouldn’t screw up if elected, he would want history to love him, show him as a wise statesman that turned this country back around.
Gingrich would work harder than any of them to get it right, in my opinion. I also think he would look to our past for answers.
I think this election is as much about looking back, as it is about looking to the future...actually, our past may be even more important.

The czars are mostly communists by reputation and this entire Administration are traitors.
