If You Want To Be A Radical, Hang With Radicals

My Flag Flies Everyday

My Flag Flies Everyday

A few months before the election, I wrote a piece called Fidel All Over Again? In this post, I explained my fears that BO was a radical and leaned toward communism. At the time, I wasn’t really sure, now I am certain that he is both a radical and a communist.  During the third debate of the campaign, John McCain attacked Obama on his associations with Bill Ayres and Acorn. Obama countered with an argument about how he will surround himself with competent people who will advise him on how to run the country.

“Let me tell you who I associate with. On economic policy, I associate with Warren Buffett and former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. If I’m interested in figuring out my foreign policy, I associate myself with my running mate, Joe Biden or with Dick Lugar, the Republican ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, or General Jim Jones, the former supreme allied commander of NATO.

Those are the people, Democrats and Republicans, who have shaped my ideas and who will be surrounding me in the White House. And I think the fact that this has become such an important part of your campaign, Senator McCain, says more about your campaign than it says about me.”

Obama has now exposed his radicalism with the appointment of  unconstitutional advisors referred to as Czars. How many does he employ? Thirty two. At least two of them are self proclaimed communists or socialists. Ten of the czars report directly to Obama. A man who believes he is a leader should know that ten, plus a full cabinet is too large a number of direct reports. How can he possibly concentrate on anything with so many inputs? He won’t be able to. Either he will neglect some of the report to’s or he will become mired in information overload. Can he really make decisions on all the issues they will bring to the table  in so short a time?  Is there enough time in a week to meet and discuss policy with all of the czars, do the same with the cabinet,  give press conferences, take world sightseeing trips with the daughters, date nights with Michelle, and walk the dog too?

Diversity czar Van Jones, a self proclaimed communist, has spent several years advocating  revolution.  The Science czar, John Holdren holds unusual ideas about sterilization as a population control to limit climate polution.  He calls climate change skeptics  “dangerous members of a denier fringe.” I guess I can add that to my list of titles granted by name calling  liberals. The Diversity czar, Mark Lloyd, a proclaimed anti-capitalist, speaks favorably about the incredible Venezuelan revolution. Carol Browner, the Energy and Environmental czar, has been a member of known socialist groups. There are only twenty-eight others to check out. I will continue to do so.

I wish I could feel better by saying “I told you so,” but it doesn’t. All confirmation did is scare the hell out me. The direction POTUS is leading our country will never be “change I can believe in.”
