You say we have a czar?

Who are these czars? Webster says, “a czar is a person with great authority or power in a particular area”. That definition seems pretty clear so I decided to examine the czars that President Obama has installed, who are they, what do they do and by what authority does he make these appointments.

 

The most recent episode concerning one of these powerful appointees was the resignation of Van Jones. Jones is a self proclaimed Communist and was appointed the Green Czar in the Obama white house. Being a communist of course he represents the “working class”, but unfortunately in his position as a “czar” he becomes a leader in the United States Government. His resignation came as a result of his accusations that 911 was a government conspiracy and aspersions that Republicans were somehow responsible.

 

Jones claims a title of Community Organizer, much the same as the president’s former activities as a community organizer in Chicago. The similar backgrounds and friendships would tend to infer that the president was rewarding an old friend and implementing changes they both engender.

 

Mister Jones worked for the Apollo Alliance, the organization that wrote the Stimulus Bill. It really strikes me as inconsistent to find a person who detests Capitalism in a position to overhaul the free enterprise system. Is this only a coincidence? I do not believe it is.

 

The president has appointed 30 czars to various positions and my research provides no evidence of any constitutional authority or regulation that authorizes a person to be elevated to the lofty yet questionable position of czar: “a person with great authority or power in a particular area”. Jones has in his previous statements advocated that an organization he founded must adhere to Marxist doctrine.

 

With 30 friends “czars” appointed to key positions that regulate and control our daily lives, such as the Federal Communications Commission. We should protest loudly and question the motives of this movement. Where is congress, what are our representatives doing to squelch this bold “change” instituted by a president who promised change. Is this the change you had in mind?

 

One has to seriously wonder about the relationships of Jones and all the other czars he has appointed. If Obama were asked about them, he would very likely plead ignorance.  Remember he didn’t know about Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s acid statements and his disdain for America although he was associated with him for twenty years or more. Cop Killer turned professor of education at U of I in Chicago, Bill Ayers, was not close to him, yet he did know Ayers and worked on community organizing with him and together gave birth to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) with your tax money. Bill Ayers like his other “friends” is published as an anti establishment socialist.

 

Do you think we need to take a long hard look? I do. Actually we need not look very far.
