Does Any of This Sound Like America?

That good question is asked by Thomas Sowell:
Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?

Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?

Does any of this sound like America?
He makes lots of good points about the unelected "czars" who now seek to control our lives. Read it all.

AND ... it's the reason why we can all go out now and hug a Lib. We can afford to be their friends. Soon they will seek our friendship. I guarantee even THEY did not vote for this stuff.

Big O is an object lesson in false advertising. Right now, we are wary. Soon, it shall be him. His star that rose so quickly is already beginning to set.

Well, perhaps he'll get another round or two of golf in before his complete collapse.

Obama and his czar crew should all be taken to sea and made to walk the plank! This group is so power hungry they will not stop at anything. Talk about radicals,
they are at the top of the list.
