Just because the health care debate is going on doesn't mean that these communists are not working on other issues simultaneously.

Americans for Limited Government (ALG) has mounted a campaign against the nomination of Cass Sunstein to be the White House’s “Regulatory Czar” in order to prevent a “litigation nightmare.”
ALG President Bill Wilson sent letters last week to farm organizations urging them to actively oppose the nomination. “What concerns me and I am sure will concern you is Mr. Sunstein’s extreme positions on animal rights,” Wilson wrote in his letter to the agricultural sector. “If put into law or regulation, these radical stands will destroy agriculture and threaten America’s ability to feed itself much less do any exporting of agricultural products.” Wilson says Sunstein favors granting legal rights to animals and “further regulation” against hunting, animal testing and farming.
To make their point in a pretty funny way, ALG released this “Farce Side” cartoon (with apologies to Gary Larson, creator of “The Far Side”). While the cartoon is amusing, Sustein’s extreme animal rights beliefs could prove to be very serious indeed if his nomination is approved. As an example of Sustein’s views, read his “The Rights of Animals: A Very Short Primer” – a very scary treatise in which he says “there is no good reason to permit the level of suffering now being experienced by millions, even billions of living creatures.”
Sunstein has been nominated to be Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the White House Office of Management and Budget. This post is also known as the “Regulatory Czar,” since all major regulatory actions by the federal government are subject to review by this office. The current status of his nomination is that it will require 60 votes in the Senate to invoke cloture after Senate Republicans earlier this month blocked a unanimous consent resolution to approve Sunstein without any roll call.
ALG is recommending that farmers and ranchers and all Americans who want “to have the right to choose what to eat and purchase at the grocery store” to urge their senators to vote against Sustein’s nomination.
Just because the health care debate is going on doesn't mean that these communists are not working on other issues simultaneously.
There was a farmer who worked a farm with an old Ox to pull his plow. The farmer worked hard from dawn to dusk and was very successful at raising crops. He took his crops into the local town where he sold the excess to buy things he could not make for himself.
The local town council noticed the farmer seemed to have a lot of excess crops and decided that they would tax the farmer to pay their salary and hire a school teacher and a sheriff. Having more time, the council noticed many citizens were hungry so they further increased the tax on the farmer to provide for the citizens. The citizens were very happy and praised the council and asked for a feast to celebrate.
The council passed a law that took the farmers ox to be eaten for the feast.
Without the ox, the farmer could no longer feed his family so he asked the council for food.
The council could no longer collect tax from the farmer so they could not feed the town or the farmer.
The citizens were no longer being fed so they rioted and burned the town.
The moral of the story? Social engineering only works while there is a tax base to support it.
Nomination? I thought Czars were appointed without Senate or Congress approval.
Starve the Beast?

The articles premise is correct and probably written in response
to California’s egg producers trying to comply with Prop 2,
The chicken’s rights initiative.
“California’s egg producers say they don’t know how to comply with the vague language of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, short of allowing hens to range free.”

People like Sunstein, virtually control California.
