His name? Cass Sunstein.
He’s not actually a czar yet. He has to be approved by the Senate (one of the few czars where that is the case). While everyone is set to talking about health care in view of the President’s scheduled speech, Congressional leaders are trying to approve him TODAY through a parliamentary tactic called cloture. If they can get 60 Senators to vote for cloture, Sunstein will sail through without the usual Senate hearings.
Why is he so dangerous? Well, for example, he believes the 2nd amendment is a lie; that closing down talk radio is not a violation of free speech (it’s actually “democratic”); and that animals (including your pet) should have the right to sue you in court. Think I’m making it up? I only wish I was. Here are a host of his quotations and video/audio for them. If you want more material, check out Mark Levin’s book, Liberty and Tyranny.
Here’s how the President and his fellow radicals will sell Sunstein: “He’s not going to change any laws.” That’s actually TRUE. But that isn’t the issue. His title will be “regulatory czar” which means he is the guy who throws all the switches in defining and tweaking the laws. For example, if he doesn’t want you to own a gun or eat meat (he is against that, too), then he will take a look at the laws governing gun purchase or animal husbandry and make it impossible for citizens and farmers to navigate the requirements successfully. Sunstein gets his way when you can’t afford meat at $35/lb and can’t afford a $1000 gun registration. No laws changed, but the desired effect is obtained. This would be his job, and as a Harvard law professor, it’s actually his specialty (hence his nomination).
The only way to stop the cloture motion is to contact your Senators and insist they oppose it. If this guy gets through, it truly is the end of the American lifestyle as you and I know it.

You’ve probably heard of the Department of Homeland Security’s new threat assessment on “right wing extremism.” While ostensibly aimed at new Timothy McVeighs rising from the dung heap, the document has caused alarm due to its ambiguous wordings-descriptions that could be aimed at people (like me) who don’t like the nation’s Gadarene rush to socialism. Here’s a paragraph at the beginning of the ten page document:
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn-including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit-could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
Consequences of the economic downturn? How about the consequences of socialist progressive “solutions” to that downturn? How about the contributions of corrupt politicians (“government authorities”) toward that downturn? Confrontations like those in the past? Like protests? Talk radio? Tea parties?
Read it yourself. The issue isn’t really what is said (anyone who thinks McVeigh was right or reasonable is an idiot or fellow domestic terrorist). The issue is what is not clarified.

What do these four items have in common? Turns out that John Podesta is being considered by Barack Obama to be Energy Secretary. Some of you may recall that Podesta, who served as President Clinton’s last Chief-of-Staff, has appeared on the Sci-Fi Channel in regard to UFO disclosure. He’s not kept it secret that he’s quite interested in UFOs, and is apparently friends with Stephen Bassett, the Washington “UFO Discosure lobbyist,” the Executive Director of the Paradigm Research Group that organizes the X-Conferences. Why Energy Secretary? There’s the interesting twist. Many in the UFO community believe that the U.S. Government possesses alien technology that would offer new forms of clean energy if it could only be wrested from the control of the military-industrial complex.
You can read a brief description of Podesta — including his interest in UFOs — in today’s issue of the New York Times (here’s a PDF in case the link disappears).

I don’t plan on doing political commentary on this blog, but I’ve had enough of Barack Obama and the sycophants who promote him. This isn’t for them. It’s for people whose minds still don’t glaze over when they hear his name.
No, it wasn’t building a miniature Parthenon as backdrop for Obama’s acceptance speech that put me over the edge. I know he isn’t a deity or the messiah. It wasn’t the gall of his campaign redesigning the presidential seal, either. I think it’s the sheer weight of so many “Christian” sources I see that lack even the slightest mental muscle to think about what this guy says, who he is, and who his alliances are with. Maybe these people are just apathetic, or they somehow have confused truth with Obama’s platitudes about the poor. I don’t know, but it has become absolutely emetic (“vomit inducing”).
Why am I hoping and praying Obama loses the election? Well, it’s not so much that I am a McCain fan (I have certain problems with some of his policies). Obama himself gives me plenty of reasons to vote for just about anyone else. There’s his marxism (about which he is unapologetic – and I’m glad he’s fairly transparent here). There’s his support for infanticide (he voted AGAINST banning the practice of killing babies who survived abortions). Then there’s his “if people don’t support me they must be racists” polemic. But What really irks me enough to post is his dishonesty about his relationships with ACORN (a “community organizing” group that has been caught a number of times falsifying voter registrations; Obama used to work for them training their volunteers) and William Ayers. Let’s stick to Ayers for now. Here are two short videos about who he is (video 1, video 2). And in case you think these are just biased conservative political ads, try this “conservative” source – US News & World Report – and its concise summary of why Obama’s relationship with Ayers is an issue in need of some honesty – and check out the “Just One Minute” link in the summary). Of course Obama’s own explanation shows his penetrating intellect and folksy honesty: “I didn’t really know him; he just lives in my neighborhood.” Right. It was from Ayers’ home that Obama first launched his senatorial campaign to start his political career in the nineties. Yeah, I ask people I don’t really know and who really aren’t friends if I can kick off important life-changing events from their living room and barbecue all the time. BS.
