Obama's Top Aide: Ban All Conspiracy Theories
More words of "wisdom" from my "favorite" czar Cass Sunstein. It is more obvious than ever that Mr Sunstein would like us to take the fast train to a socialist, totalian government--the faster the better! Mr Sunstein I am surprised you are not residing in Russia or Cuba or any other totalitarian communist state right now as you seem so clearly cut out for those kinds of government. Oh...that's right...you want to help create one here...

Look What Cass Sunstein Wants to do to Hannity!
Looks like my "favorite" czar Cass Sunstein is up to more tricks. This time he wants to find a way to censor websites from making "absurd" claims and allegations. How about you and everyone else in the Obama administration telling the truth Mr. Sunstein? Then you wouldn't have to worry about censorship! By the way are you willing to censor all the lefty sites as well when they come up with absurdities? Didn't think so...

Sunstein: Economic Crises Could Nudge Us Towards Socialism
Well, well, well--click on the title to read more nudging from Comrade Sunstein, our new regulatory czar. Bring on those economic crises so we can get right down to the business of becoming a socialist country! Apparently in Mr Sunstein's opinion, we would be better off as a socialist country. But he seems to ignore three basic facts of history. First fact--our country was founded and settled by people who hated what was going on in Europe and other countries. They didn't like monarchies, dictatorships, famine, disease, poverty, overcrowding in the cities, limited opportunities and just plain being bossed around. The fact that immigrants continue to flock to this country in containers on cargo ships, 18 wheelers, rafts and any other way they can get here seems to be lost on Mr Sunstein. Answer this Mr Sunstein--if this country is so bad why are people still sacrificing and in some cases killing themselves to get here? Ah, perhaps you have hit on the ultimate solution to illegal immigration. If our country becomes just like the countries they are trying to leave, immigrants won't want to come here anymore--yeah, that's it!
The second fact of history Mr Sunstein insist on ignoring is that socialism and communism don't work and this is mainly because of the first fact. People don't really like them and eventually they tend to rebel against them. Socialism would actually be a step backwards for us as a country. It will not make us more prosperous or more productive or more content. We will end up hating it just as much as our ancestors did and we will seek freedom once more. But here is the rub. We already have freedom now. If we throw it away in pursuit of the false promises of socialism and big government, it will be a long, painful process to get it back and there is no guarantee we can get it back at all. It took our fledgling country hundreds of years before we finally realized the dream of freedom and independence. It may take even longer for us to get it back if we let it go this time.
The third fact of history being ignored here by Mr Sunstein and many others is that socialistic governments don't have to be the inevitable result of external forces nudging us. Our very existence as a country proves we can withstand those forces if we have the will to do so. We can proactively push back against the nudging but it will take collective resolve to preserve our current freedoms and way of life. It will take a country full of people awake, alert and aware of the danger we face in losing everything our ancestors fought for. It will take a collective--even a world--dream of a place where everyone can live free. It is up to us as Americans to preserve it but how can we when we accept the presence of leaders like Mr Sunstein who so obviously do not have these interests at heart? If Mr Sunstein insists on ignoring these facts of history it is up to us to educate him. I can only hope we have the will, resolve and heart to do so before it is too late.

Cass Sunstein--Americans Too Racist for Socialism, and Let's Nudge Everyone Towards "Better Decisions"
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!
