I was going to write about this yesterday, sounding off about being called racist for the umteenth time, but couldn't finish the article due to technical difficulties. Now I am glad I had to wait because I just got an email this morning from The National Republican Trust concerning the upcoming release October 9th of their book Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You to Know About His Czars, that has apparently "rocked official Washington." It made me realize that Mr Sunstein's rascist insults were just the tip of the iceberg of his extremely radical, socialist--even communist views. If you don't think his anti-gun, anti-hunting, pro-tax and spend, pro-universal health care, pro-regulating talk radio and Internet blogs views are scary enough, click on the title of this article to read about how he envisions rewriting our Constitution by 2020 to embrace socialism/communism. Apparently this man has long been an advocate of using government power to "nudge" people towards "better decisions" and in fact, according to Scott Wheeler, Mr Sunstein has written a book called Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness. I have not read this book but judging from the title I would say that now that Mr Sunstein heads up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) he has the perfect platform to start nudging us. I have written before about how this administration is gently guiding us towards their agenda. Any doubts that we are being nudged, prodded, and guided towards a socialistic government and lifestyle should be put to rest now.
According to Scott Wheeler, Executive Director of The National Republican Trust, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing earlier this week on the constitutionality of the czars and "additional hearings are expected in the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee." The larger issue at hand, however, is how in the heck these czars got their jobs in the first place. In Mr. Sunstein's case, he was confirmed by the Senate. In fact seven Republican senators voted with the Democrats for cloture and cleared the way for his nomination to go to the senate floor for a vote. If these seven GOP senators had held the line, the nomination would have been blocked! Clearly there is something very wrong with the confirmation and vetting process. Either everyone in the senate is deaf, dumb and blind or they know--and support--the radical views of these czars. It will be interesting to follow the results of the hearings. I wonder if the hearings will really result in a change in the process. Or will this be another "oh-darn-we-were-caught-pull-back-on-this-because-the-country-isn't-ready-for-it- yet" moment? If you look closely you will see a pattern of action and reaction that this administration follows. It goes like this--something controversial is introduced and then when there is an outcry against it it is retracted, only to be reintroduced later usually in another form. This is the "nudging" process in a nutshell. They will keep trying until they find a way to get people to accept their views. Make no mistake, we are in the process of being gently guided and "nudged" toward a socialistic world. Will we wake up in time or will we accept it?
Although these issues are large and profound, I see an even larger issue ahead of us. Let's just say Mr Sunstein gets his chance to re-write the Constitution in 2020. Will there be anyone left with any knowledge of the original Constitution around to fight for the principles and tenets that gave birth to our country? Will there be anyone left who cares about freedom? I believe with all my heart that we must do all we can to preserve and pass on knowledge of history, the Constitution, and The Declaration of Independence for such a future moment. It is up to WE THE PEOPLE to defend our principles and our way of life. It is time now to take a stand!
