#1 Are you F-ing kidding me?

#2 Many are already aware of the unspoken dangers these appointments or "Zhars" hold, but here's some additional background. Besides circomventing the established political and governmental processes by establishing a backccannel system, many of these committed loyalists will remain in the system and must be dealt with for years to come.

If Barry is defeated in 2012, it is very likely that a high percentage of these people will quietly migrate into powerful Gov't Senior Executive Service positions. Positions which require skills and expertise which very conveniently call for the specific talents which their individual resumes contain.

Notice the age of most of these folks if you will. They'll be around for a while. The Clintons left "W" a nice cadre of them as well.

#3 Remember, this is the guy who is ok'ing and formulating Obama policy on the environment, and just as importantly, medicine and medical technology.

And Obama is just fine having a radical collectivist that believes in forcing people to do things just because he thinks he is smarter than them.

The company one keeps tells a lot about a person. This guy speaks volumes about Obama in light of his siding with Chavez, and the Ayatollahs.

#4 Obama and the liberals are playing a dangerous game with appointments such as these.

What is happening now sounds an awful lot like what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about in his novel November, 1916

A very deadly, very dangerous game...

#6 It appears Barry has found his Mengele...

#7 Under what constitutional power are these "czars" created and given governing authority?

#8 I've believed for some time now, that it will be necessary to deal with these people harshly. It will not be possible to stop them from within the system as they now control it completely, or damn near it.

The more I hear about these Czars and their radical views, (take Alcee Hastings for example) the more convinced I am that it will be necessary to wage outright war against them directly and ruthlessly. It seems they are emboldened by Obamarama's win. We are running out of time. I do not expect that there will be any 2010 elections.

If there are, and they go badly for us, there won't be any 2012. Not without a fight anyway.

#9 There ya go. Deal with 'em harshly!

Chief if you want to get it going talk about dealing with harshly.... or if you're really brave the virtues small caliber vs. large caliber.

Be prepared to defend both. At lenggth.

#10 There ya go. Deal with 'em harshly!

It is going to come down to a fight, you know that Half-Empty. Only thing that remains to be seen is if it happens before or after they start rounding people up.

Small caliber, sub-sonic, close range and preferably suppressed. When the break comes it is going to be personal, might as well look them in the eyes.

#11 Technology was very different in 1977. Then too, people's opinions often change in thirty years.

F'r instance: it'd be awfully hard to force feed birth control chemicals to a population that puts PUR filters on their faucets, Brita filters on their water pitchers, and purchases bottled water for general drinking... and then heats everything in the microwave, breaking delicate chemical bonds.

Also, given how few doctors are now trained to perform abortions, where will they find large numbers of surgeons willing to give up lucrative private practices in order to abort and sterilize welfare mothers on the Medicare dime?

And seriously, an international police force? Given the effectiveness of the Blue Berets thus far, a UN police force doesn't seem much of a threat, no matter how much they might want to be.

#12 Who the hell let Half out? Next we'll be seeing Dave D posting!

#13 I strongly suspect that if the gentleman in question had a textbook that talked about the need to control the population of those untermenschen jews that Cranium-half-empty would not be mocking those of us who are upset by the situation. I also don't think TW would be making statements like "Well, everyone's opinion changes over time, maybe he's not a Nazi any more."

The Nazis came into power because noone _took_ them seriously at the time until it was too late. The idea that they actually meant to do what was set out in _Mein Kamf_ was just too laughable to most Germans, who wanted to be stronger and not worry about the details too much.

It ended with their country being partitioned for forty years, and could have ended worse if the allies had gone through with the morgrenthau plan and/or the soviets had more than a quarter of the country.

I don't see where any of the non-US world powers out there today are the sort of people to rebuild a conquered adversary instead of looting it.

Finally, I wouldn't bet on their views having changed any if the resulting actions they're trying to justify are pretty much the same. In 1970 population expansion and resource depletion, to these people, meant the US had to be de-developed.

Now, in 2009, their reason is global warming, but the recommended course of action would produce the same result.

I imagine in ten years they'll still be pursuing the same rememdy, if they haven't accomplished it already (and they're halfway there), even if the crisis du jour is embarrassing fungal infections.

#14 "Under what constitutional power are these "czars" created and given governing authority?"

-none. They don't answer to congress. I heard there are 33 total Czars now - they are being paid tax payer cash and so far only answer to the pres. That would've prolly been enough for our founders to throw the b.s. flag at the fed gov't.
