Today is the first part in a series on Czars. This is a hot topic in the media right now, because in a little less than six months as President, Barrack Obama has hand selected over thirty “czars.” Which will rule over various issues, including the private sector. So what is really going on in this administration?
President Barack Obama is in the process of seizing unprecedented power in America. He is completely ignoring the checks and balances built into our system of government. He is also undermining our freedoms and trampling on the Constitution as if it were a trivial document.
Where is the media coverage of all this? Unless you watch Fox News or listen to talk radio you probably have heard very little about this, or you heard it spun to portray Obama as making positive changes to impact our society. The mainstream media is still so enamored by his charisma that they can’t see beyond their euphoria. According to the Newsweek editor Evan Thomas, "Obama is standing above the country, above the world, he's sort of God."
Back to this issue with czars; What is a czar? According to Wikipedia: The word “czar” is a Slavic term with Bulgarian origins used to designate certain monarchs. Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch). I know Obama recently visited with the Pope, was that to dicuss the approval of all these czars? I don’t think so, since they were already appointed before that visit. Besides, our government doesn’t answer to the Pope, it answers to the people, at least it used to.
In Russia and Bulgaria the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time and, by the 19th century, it had come to be viewed as an equivalent of King. In imperial Russia, czars ruled the country and had complete power. They were imperial monarchs who were eventually overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the communist revolution. The communists who succeeded the czars ruled for over 70 years until it finally collapsed because of corruption and its own failed economic policies.
Many conservative talk show hosts have labeled Obama and his agenda as Socialist, or Marxist. He is definitely “Remaking America” as he promised. He is establishing his own imperialistic government and completely ignoring the Constitution of the United States, the United States Congress, and a vote of the people. None of these czars were vetted or approved by Congress, or the people. They answer directly and only to Obama, yet they and their staffs are paid for by taxpayer money. Obama is intent on amassing as much power as possible in the executive branch of government. Which is why so many czars are being appointed. According to U.S. Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), the czars are part of a separate government structure that “is outside of the Constitution and the authority of Congress.”
So, if Barrack Obama views himself as the “Emperor” and he is appointing all these Czars or Kings, doesn’t that make him the “King of Kings”? As a Judeo-Christian nation, that question ought to make you cringe. I am hoping it will open your eyes. Am I going overboard and blowing this out of proportion? Consider this, Obama himself called these men czars, not liaisons, not overseers, not cabinet members or secretaries. Does anyone know who these people are and what their qualifications and agendas are? No we don’t, nor does Congress.
To say that the Obama administration has been aggressively accumulating as much government power as possible is an understatement. Without a single vote cast they have taken over private corporations, even entire industries. From Wall Street to Detroit, major entities are now owned by the federal government. This government intrusion into the free market system is unprecedented in American history.
Who gave the President all this power? The answer is, nobody, and that same nobody has offered up no resistance or rebuttal whatsoever. We have absolutely no idea what type of people the President is appointing to what will soon be the most powerful positions in government.
With no vetting or examination of their record, radicals and communists like Van Jones can slip into these offices with no opposition. Jones, the “Green Jobs czar”, is a self proclaimed communist, who worked as a black radical and has a long history as a left coast community organizer and anarchist. In 1992, Jones rioted after the Rodney King verdict and was arrested. Instead of changing his ways and becoming a law abiding citizen, Jones was “radicalized in jail.” Upon his release, Jones started a utopian organization that advocated communism and central planning. Eventually, he became a proponent for extreme environmentalism and “green jobs.”
This is just the first czar we are taking a look at. Have you heard about any of this from the mainstream media? Of course not; Fox News is spending a great deal of time on it right now thanks to watchdogs Sean Hannity and Glen Beck. The public is uninformed about this and I think they need to know, they have a right to know. Many aren’t going to find out, because they listen to the wrong people. They are blinded in the euphoria and deception of our ‘Historic President.” He is definitely going to be historic, because at this rate, he is going to be our last President. He will soon be King.
