This is from an editorial on September 3, 2009 1:56 PM in the Columbia Conservative Examiner by
Anthony G. Martin. I felt it should get as much everyman coverage as possible. Email your friends to read this important analysis.
****************************************************************************************************
During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Hussein Obama told audiences, 'Judge me
by the people with whom I surround myself.'
OK, we will.
And that is precisely the problem with Obama.
In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official,
Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial 'czars,'
'special advisor's,' and 'officers' he has chosen to come to the White House to
have direct access to him.
If one uses the criterion Obama laid out by which to judge his character,
political ideology, and plans for the country, we can only conclude that the
President is a far-Left extremist who disdains capitalism and free commerce,
free speech in the open marketplace of ideas, Caucasian people who have
accumulated wealth, and any dissent from the concepts propounded by his
'regime.'
How do we know this? Look at his czars, special advisers, and officers.
These are the ones closest to Obama.
John Holdren, science czar, advocates for population
control using the most extreme measures, such as mandating the number of
children Americans can have. He is also a proponent of 'de-developing' the
United States, sending its agricultural practices and technology back to the
19th century. Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill
elderly do not fit his definition of 'human,' and therefore can be
expendable.
Cass Sunstein, regulatory czar and Harvard law
professor, believes that animals should have the right to legal representation.
If you try to get rid of rats in your home, a 'concerned citizen' could bring a
lawsuit, with the rat as the plaintiff, to sue you for endangering a species.
He also believes that if bloggers post something that turns out to be false,
they should be prosecuted. In short, Sunstein is a Leftwing moonbat with
Fascist leanings. Remember, Obama said to judge him by the people around
him.
Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare czar, believes in using
cost-benefit and comparative-benefit analysis to allocate healthcare resources.
This means the fewer years you have left to live, the less cost-effective it is
to treat you. Thus, most of those resources should be diverted from the elderly
to younger people. This is the 'rationing' portion of ObamaCare that many of us
have warned about. And this will be done even without the so-called 'public
option,' which is not really what the debate about government control of
healthcare is about in the first place. Even without the public option, the
provision for rationing is inherent in the provisions of the bill, thanks to
advisers such as Emanuel.
Van Jones, green jobs czar, is perhaps the most
extremist of the extreme in the entire lot. As a self-avowed, self-identified
Communist, Jones abhors liberty, the Constitution, the American way of life, and
seeks to change it from top to bottom. Click Here for more on Van Jones.
Mark Loyd, FCC 'diversity czar,' supports
Communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and believes that what Chavez did to squelch
free speech in the media and seize the means of communication is a good model
for the United States. His plan is to silence conservative talk radio by
forcing ownership to change hands to minorities and by implementing a fee
structure for licensing that will put most private broadcasters out of
business. At that point, Loyd would make PBS, or NPR on the radio, the most
powerful forces in broadcasting--controlled by the government, of
course.
Due to the areas over which they have jurisdiction, the above-named 'special
advisers' to Obama are the key players. Jobs, communication, health care,
agriculture, population control--all of these amount to a major shift in the way
America has operated as a Free Republic for over 200 years.
Questions for consideration: Given these czars and special advisers who have
offices in the White House with easy access to the President, how, then, should
we judge Barack Obama's ideas and plans for the country, just as he asked us to
do? Why is a Communist operating out of the White House as one of Obama's
closet advisers? What can Americans reasonably expect over the next few years
if the policies espoused by Loyd, Jones, Sunstein, Emanuel, and Holdren are
implemented?
