Does our president really believe American are too stupid to understand there are other views our there. Are we are too stupid to find them on our own? Do we want the government to do it for us?
This actually could help the conservative cause, can you imagine a link to Rush Limbaugh on ever Huffington Post story. A story link on Austrian Economic theory attached to every Paul Krugman piece. hhhmmm the possibilities.
Is this what we want those in Washington doing with their time?
Van Jones proclaimed he loves Glenn Beck while receiving a reward from the NAACP. He then proclaimed that we should all get along and be one country. The only problem is that I for one do not want anything to do with the country Van Jones envisions.
Cass Sunstein may very well be one of the most dangerous people currently in the Obama administration since Van Jones was let go. It you don't know about this guy you really need to find out more. Not Technically a Czar because he did need Senate Conformation is currently in charge of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein is another member of Academia who holds beliefs that differ from much of the nation.
He would like to ban all hunting. He thinks Americans have too many choices when it comes to talk radio personalities and limiting them would be in the best interests of the nation. He also thinks that scientific testing on animals is akin to mass murder of humans and animals should be allowed to have human lawyers to represent them in court and to bring to suits against people.
Aside from his radical beliefs this guy is about as progressive as they come. He wrote an op-ed in Chicago Tribune titled, "Why We Should Celebrate Paying Taxes". Where he basically says without taxes we wouldn't have anything. He's also written and spoke out in support of all Gun Control. Just one more fine example of what the Obama Administration has to offer.

I agree with a quote I recently read. I am told this quote is by a man named David Baird, "Right Thinking depends on knowing what is true, so Right Actions cannot come from things that are not true". I would like to expand on this and say to ever say, "true or not true is irrelevant" is in itself a doorway to wrong thinking. It is never irrelevant to know what is true or not true.
That may seem like a logical statement but sadly I've been hearing this come up more times than I care to admit.
Some recent examples:
When Bill Clinton did Monica, the administration at the time claimed the allegations to be false. Clinton and all his supporters swore it was false. When it was proved true the defense changed to, well who cares if he had sex with her, No one cares about the sex life of a political leader. If it didn't matter why did they lie?
When George Bush claimed Saddam had WMD's and we found none, everyone screamed He Lied, He Lied. Many asked, "Was it a lie or was it a mistake based on bad intelligence"? It didn't matter the consensus was Bush Lied? Even though much of the data we had went back to the Clinton administration and if it were a lie it was essentially a Clinton lie and not a Bush Lie.
Fox News reports on many stories involving socialists in the current administration. They fire back, "Fox Lies"! But do not address the issues. Van Jones is let go (fired) on a Sunday Night and it hardly makes the news, except on Fox. Ron Bloom Obama's Manufacturing Czar says the Free Market is a joke and we agree with Mao. Anita Dunn is Obama's Communications director and she gave a speech to a High School graduating class were she admits the two philosophers she turns to most are Chairman Mao and Mother Theresa. Hardly a word of this gets out, except on Fox. When people do begin to question, we're told she was joking. Really? Fact or Fiction? Double Speak or Thought Crime?
And those are are just a few examples, those of you who follow the news and world events surly know of more, both from the right and left side of the spectrum.
I make a personal habit to not attack anyone, but when someone throws socialism in my face, YES I WILL ATTACK BACK! SOCIALISM is bad for America, that is my view and I'm sticking to it. I will not associate myself or my views with someone who thinks any part of socialism is good. That is why I say if someone likes socialism so much they can move to a socialist country and leave America free. People from all over the world do not come to America because they can't wait until it turns into a cease pool like the place they fled from.
I'm sick to death of hearing people tell me not to discuss religion and politics, it's not polite. I ask why? It's just not nice, or people turn mean when you disagree with them. We should all get along. Well that might work for you while your hitting that bong and saving the planet one tree at a time, but I ask if your argument holds water why can't it stand up to some real debate? Why does Al Gore get away with selling Global Warming but when someone with a microphone try's to ask some serious questions they get shut off? Why can the schools preach to your children about being green when the science is unclear but a god of any kind is out of the question? Isn't putting your faith in a fat man who fly's around the globe and believes eating meat then farting is going to kill the planet is kinda like believing that Santa Claus is going to bring gifts this year? Why is it OK to force that point of view but we can't debate it, because if you don't believe you're somehow a radical. Are the people who push this stuff not the radicals?
Where did this idea come from that Americans should not talk about politics or religion?
I believe many folks in this country were raised the same way, and I believe it's wrong and part of the reason we have the mess we're in. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, I mean no disrespect by it and I won't think less of anyone who sticks to this policy, but it goes against everything this country stands for. My grandparents came from a place were to speak out sometimes meant a bullet might find it's way into your head. Being NICE and not making waves translates into Liberal Political Correctness which I am adamantly opposed to. Political Correctness will ruin this nation if we allow it to. Our founding fathers did not sit idle while others spoke of tyranny. They believed that to be quiet was to give acceptance, Those who did not speak out against what they believed to be wrong were themselves co-conspirators of the tyranny. Because of presidents like Woodrow Wilson and FDR people taught their kids to be quiet and to be respectful and not talk about or share their own opinion if it's wildly different. (PC for don't make waves by sharing your own opinion) You know what happens when you speak against the Government. The Government tends to come after you.
Well the same things are again happening and I will not sit and wait for America to Change into something I don't believe in. My Grandparents taught me to ask questions and to speak my mind because that's what free people do. They came here to be free so they could speak and live the way they choose. and that is what I will continue to do. I will teach my children to question authority when it doesn't make sense. I will teach them that there are no stupid questions and just because you see something on T.V or in a movie it doesn't mean it's real. Even if the man in the movie is an ex-Vice President. I will also teach them that teachers can be and will be wrong once in awhile because it's human to make mistakes and it's critical to know how to think for yourself. I will continue this way until the black car comes to take me away. And if that black car comes for ME, I certainly won't be the first. I only hope I'm not the last.
I love this country and I think there are many people who only want to see it fall so it can be transformed into something very different than the country we love. A country that many fight and die for so we can continue to be free and speak our mind. This is why we must make some hard decisions now as to who we will choose to lead us into the future. What will that future be like? Who is going to choose which doctor you will see? Who is going to choose the temperature you set your furnace? Who is going to choose if you eat steak or sprouts? Who is going to choose what your children will do for a living? Will it be your choice or will you allow someone to make the decision for you because it's better that way for everyone else?
Cheers,
Mike
Finally we score a victory for freedom! The Communist is gone, I don't care what story they come up with to spin it, he's gone. Of course we have Glenn Beck to thank the most, for applying the kind of pressure no one else would. We now need to apply pressure on a few more of the so-called Czars on the Government payroll. I suggest we move on to Mark Lloyd, John Holdren or Cass Sunstein. These guys are pretty far Left of Center with ideas that most Americans would think radical.
See my post on Mark Lloyd.
Cass Sunstein is a legal scholar whose philosophy is that of Soft Paternalism. He also believes in animal rights. The kind that includes you're dog having a lawyer, not the PETA variety (I'm not sure which is worse). He also thinks that our 1st Amendment rights need to be reformulated. If that isn't enough for you, he also believes we should celebrate Tax Day. He believes "There is no liberty without dependency"
HIS WORDS
"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty."
John Holdren is the Science (Science Fiction) Czar. He actually suggested the use of Sterilization of women after they reach a pre-determined number of children. He also suggested the use of sterilants in the drinking water as means of population control as well as less sci-fi options as open access to birth control and abortions. Let's not forget the practice of seizing Children from teen mothers and placing them with more qualified parents.
Think what you will about these guys, all of them need to go in my opinion.
Here are the other Obama Czars. I'm going to be doing some more reasearch on each of them.

This guy is so radical he has no business being anywhere near the White House. How does someone like this get within ear shot of the President of the United States? Who is checking out these people?
I had already made up my mind on this guy when I heard about his anti-American views and the fact he was a self avowed Communist. He is not a stupid man, he knows how to sell his agenda. This is the man who wrote "Hoopties for Hybrids", and "you can't green cities until you green the ghetto, you can't green the ghetto unless you give Pooky a job".
Now we find out he is also a 9/11 Truther NUT JOB who actually thinks the US government was behind the September 11 Attacks. I don't care that he apologized for his comments, he didn't deny them. This mean he's sorry it was found, not that he doesn't actually believe it.
VAN JONES NEEDS TO GO!!!
This guy is going to try and change the face of talk radio as we know it. If he has his way most of the small town and mid major city radio stations are going to to forced into top 40 music, sports and NPR. You can forget Rush, Beck, Hannity, Boortz or your favorite Conservative talk show. Unless of course they move to Satellite Radio and you can afford it or you can listen to their shows online. This could turn out to be the largest silencing of free speech in the history of America.
Mr Lloyd said this;
“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) must be reformed along democratic lines and funded on a substantial level. Federal and regional broadcast operations and local stations should be funded at levels commensurate with or above those spending levels at which commercial operations are funded,” Lloyd wrote. “This funding should come from license fees charged to commercial broadcasters. Funding should not come from congressional appropriations. Sponsorship should be prohibited at all public broadcasters.”
In 2006 while serving the "Liberal Center for American Progress" Lloyd wrote a book entitled, (Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America) This book presents the idea that private broadcasters (private business) should pay a licensing fee which equals their total operating costs. This would allow the the public broadcasting station to spend the same on their operations as the private companies. How is a private business going to be able to absorb that kind of cost. The simple answer is, "they won't"!
If you enjoy talk radio you need to follow this and make your voices heard.
Watch this video for an introduction to Mr. Lloyd. Please watch the whole video, as the first 3 minute actually sound pretty tame. He gets to the point in the final minute and half, where he sugar coats the agenda of control by way of tax revenues. Market equalization as he puts it.
