These people (czars) have been appointed by the Obama administration and several without the consent of Congress. The number of czars has been conservatively estimated in excess of thirty. I wonder what is the cost to the American taxpayer. Here are a few of them and their "claim to fame". Please remember the old adage - A man is known by the company he keeps. Also remember that Obama is the 44th President and Commander-in-Chief. Readers - judge for yourself! Former presidents also had czars, but I document Obama's selections because of their backgrounds.
1. Kevin Jennings - Safe Schools Czar. He is a longtime homosexual and founded the organization "Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN)". He has been strongly criticized for introducing homosexual themes into public schools. He was on the advisory board for a PBS documentary that attacked the Boy Scouts of America for excluding homosexuals from membership. Appointed but probably not confirmed.
2. John Holdren - Science Czar. In his writings, he approves of and recommends compulsory sterilization and even sometimes abortion, in furtherance of a government population control program. He co-wrote a book called Ecoscience. On page 837, it states compulsory abortion would be legal if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society. Appointed by Obama with senate confirmation.
3. Cass Sunstein - Regulatory Czar. He regards euthanasia as a major component of health-care legislation. He reportedly holds strong pro-abortion and pro-human-cloning views. He believes free speech (First Amendment) needs to be limited for the "common good." He believes it is "desirable" to redistribute America's wealth to poorer nations since global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and should, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth. Sunstein, has also advocated a policy under which the government would "presume" someone has consented to having his or her organs removed for transplantation into someone else when they die unless that person has explicitly indicated that his or her organs should not be taken. Appointed by Obama with senate confirmation.
4. Ron Bloom - Manufacturing Czar. He is a former investment banker and longtime adviser to the United Steelworkers, who played an integral role in managing the process that led to the reorganization of General Motors and Chrysler as they teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. In total, the government spent about $80 billion to bail out the companies. He was a high-powered advisor for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). In 2008, he made the following statement: "We know that the free market is nonsense. ...We kind of agree with Mao (Zedong) that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun". Appointed by Obama without senate confirmation.
5. Carol Browner - Energy/Environment Czar She is one of fourteen leaders of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society which calls for "global governance" and says that rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change (aka global warming). She served on the board of directors for Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection. She can be classified as an environmental radical and socialist. Appointed by Obama without senate confirmation. Resigned her position during March 2011.
6. Mark Lloyd - Diversity Czar He served as a Senior Fellow for the uber-liberal Center for American Progress for whom he co-authored a June 2007 report entitled "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio" which offers "remedies" to undermine conservative talk and bolster liberal talk. Can we say "Fairness Doctrine"? In describing the Venezuelan dictator and thug Hugo Chavez, Lloyd says: "In Venezuela, with Chavez, "there is really an incredible revolution - a democratic revolution". Apparently, he sides with this thug and not his victims. Appointed by Obama without senate confirmation.
7. Van Jones - Green Jobs Czar(Resigned) He is a self-identified communist. In 2004 he signed a petition calling for the investigation to determine whether government officials allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks to happen or were even behind them. He supported the convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. In 2008 he accused "white polluters" of "steering poison into the people of color communities". Appointed by Obama without senate confirmation.
Quite a distinguished list!
Let's add to this list by identifying a few more czars.
1. Alan Bersin - Customs/Border Czar Janet Reno also appointed Bersin as Southwest Border Representative, responsible for coordinating federal law enforcement on the border from South Texas to Southern California. In his first stint as “border czar", Bersin implemented “Operation Gatekeeper", which fortified the border near San Diego, but effectively only shifted illegal immigrant traffic east, toward the harsh deserts of Arizona and New Mexico. Immigrant advocacy groups blamed his policies for increased border-crossing deaths. He was appointed for his second stint by Janet Napolitano without senate confirmation.
2. Lynn Rosenthal - Domestic Violence Czar She has been reported as a vicious anti-male feminist who supports male castration. She was appointed by Joe Biden without senate confirmation.
3. Donald Berwick - Medicare/Healthcare Czar He was appointed during a two week senate recess period. He is noted for some extremely controversial statements such as the following:
"Any health care plan that is just, equitable, civilized, and humane, must
redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and
less fortunate. Excellent health care is, by definition, redistributional".
Do you think Berwick has socialistic tendencies? His appointment is set to expire at the end of 2011.
4. Adolfo Carrion - Urban Affairs Czar He has a history of taking bribes while serving in New York offices (Borough of the Bronx) and putting the interests of his donors above those of the community. He was fined $10,000 by a New York city ethics board for his dealings with an architect who helped him on a home project and later benefited from Carrion's approval of a local development deal when Carrion was president of the Bronx borough. He was appointed by Obama without senate confirmation.
I think that I will stop here. You should get the message. Between Obama's czars, other appointees and associates - A man is known by the company he keeps! Enough said.
