Point 1 for PLM
Obama’s Radical Czars
One is judged by the company he or she keeps.
Yet for over a year now, we — or more specifically the state-run media —have failed to hold Our Lord and Savior Barack Hussein Obama to that same standard.
Why? Because Obama has been allowed to pass Himself off as some sort of centrist, a post-partisan, post-racial political figure who will bring all Americans together despite His longstanding connections with some of the most radical figures in the history of American politics.
Take Obama’s first political mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed Communist. Or Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist, who helped start Obama’s political career. Or the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor in the church of black liberation theology, in Chicago, in whose church Obama sat for 20 years almost every Sunday.
Now, there are even more radicals surrounding the Chocolate Jesus in Washington. Some are the constitutionally-questionable czars, individuals who are part of the Obama administration yet have not been confirmed by the Senate, as would, say, Cabinet members and other official advisers to the President. Yet these individuals have been granted unrestrained power and authority over everything from the auto industry to manufacturing to energy to communciations and the Internet. Accountable to whom? Only Barack Obama Himself.
One who is not a czar but is a high-ranking legal adviser in the State Department is Harold Koh, former dean of the Law School at Yale University. In other words, an Ivy League pinhead elitist, but even more dangerous that that.
Koh is an advocate of transnationalism, which is defined as being:
… a concept that argues in favor of “global governance” as opposed to the constitutional sovereignty of independent nation-states.
In other words, he does not support the sovereignty of the United States and the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution as the law of the land.
Here’s another shocker: Koh supports the introduction of sharia law into the United States.
Robert Spencer, who runs the Jihad Watch blog, wrote this piece at Human Events earlier this year, when Koh was being appointed to his current position:
Among numerous questionable and controversial statements, Koh has said that the “war on terror” — a term which the Obama Administration has already quietly abandoned, was “obsessive.” And in a 2007 speech, according to a lawyer who was in the audience, Koh opined that “in an appropriate case, he didn’t see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.”
Sorry, but the supreme law of the land is the U.S. Constitution. The introduction of sharia law is something we are seeing in England and Canada and it isn’t for the better.
Also, with rumors that another justice on the U.S. Supreme Court is ready to step down, there is a very real chance that Harold Koh would be The Anointed One’s next nomination to SCOTUS.
You can read more about Koh’s leftist leanings and “Blame America First” mentality here.
Another radical that we’ve talked about before here and here is John Holdren, the Dr. Mengele wannabe that is now Obama’s science czar.
Reposting a summary of Holdren’s views, which we said at the time would be right at home in Nazi Germany:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.
Forced abortions. Forced sterilization. Government control of reproduction. Confiscation of babies from families at the whim of the state. Elimination of so-called undesirables.
Anyone care to defend this as being mainstream? It’s not next to impossible to do so. It is impossible to do so.
Then there is Mark Lloyd, Obama’s FCC diversity czar, who is an open admirer of leftist thug Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
Here is a summary of what Lloyd thinks of freedom of speech on the airwaves:
In 2006 while at the liberal Center for American Progress Lloyd wrote a book entitled, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America. In the book he presents the idea the private broadcasters (private business) should pay a licensing fees which equals their total operating costs so that public broadcasting station can spend the same on their operations as the private companies do. By doing so he hopes to improve the Corporation for Public Broadcasting currently at $400 Million for 2009.
Not only does he want to redistribute private profits, he wants to regulate much of the programming on these stations to make sure they focus on “diverse views” (Progressive Views) and government activities.
Lloyd is just doing the work of the real Puppetmaster, George Soros, who is the one pulling the strings on the entire Obama administration:
A Senior Fellow at the George Soros’ Center for American Progress, Mark Lloyd’s antipathy towards non-leftist participation in the public square is well known. He has written two anti-free speech hit pieces on “conservative talk radio” … a CAP “analysis” “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio” which never examines talk radio in the larger sphere as being the only alternative to Leftist dominated broadcast television (news and entertainment), newspapers, university and college campuses … and “Forget the Fairness Doctrine”, a whiney little piece where Lloyd tries to bare his teeth against people who oppose his conclusions in the first piece and defends his Trojan Horse plan to achieve his own STFU policy towards conservative talk radio with so-called “local diversity” objectives.
Still, there’s Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar. Sunstein believes that hunting should be banned and animals should have the right to sue people. Oh, he also believes there should be a Fairness Doctrine for the Internet.
And now we get to the latest moonbat to emerge from the shadows: Van Jones, the so-called green jobs czar.
Van Jones is the individual behind the movement to silence Fox News commentator Glenn Beck. His group, Color For Change, has urged a boycott of Beck’s advertisers because the host called The Messiah a racist who hate white people.
He is … there’s plenty of evidence to show that He is and does. But that’s beside the point.
The night of the September 11 attacks, Van Jones and another group known as STORM — Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement — held a Blame America for the Attacks vigil.
Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), the revolutionary group formed by self-described “communist” and “rowdy black nationalist” Van Jones, held a vigil in Oakland, California, “mourning the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world” on the night after Sept. 11, 2001.
The reason this is important is because Van Jones is now President Obama’s green jobs czar. He does not appear to have distanced himself from his past communist activities and is now part of the Obama administration’s push to turn Sept. 11 into a National Day of Service focused on the promotion of the radical environmentalist agenda.
STORM’s website has been scrubbed of its radical documents, but they can still be viewed here. Pure Maxism, Communism, whatever. Blame. America. First.
“Reclaiming Revolution” also blamed the U.S. for 9/11. A passage on page 45 (27 of the PDF file) reads:
That night, STORM and the other movement leaders expressed sadness and anger at the deaths of innocent working class people. We were angry, first and foremost, with the U.S. government, whose worldwide aggression had engendered such hate across the globe that working class people were not safe at home. We honored those who had lost their lives in the attack — and those who would surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas.
What’s more, Van Jones is an open and admitted communist.
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit has more on the commie green jobs czar here and here.
Also, David Horowitz, himself a reformed 60s radical, notes:
[Glenn] Beck also focused on Van Jones, a self-described Communist who is now the Special Assistant to the President for “Green Jobs”. Beck ran some revealing clips on Jones, who is a Jeremiah Wright radical — a black racist and Ivy League elitist. Beck noted Jones’ radical “past” — actually he became a Communist in 1992 and for the next 10 years was a member of a communist party dedicated to “organizing a revolutionary movement.” In his 2007 book The Green Economy, Jones blamed the devastation of Hurricane Katrina on white supremacy and the war in Iraq, which he blamed, in turn, on America’s “need for oil.”
Beck perspicaciously pointed out that Jones was the candidate of the Apollo Alliance — which is a communist party of the green movement composed of social justice and racial justice groups. As I pointed out in Unholy Alliance, social justice (and racial justice) is a term that, when used by far left groups, is a code for a Marxist future despite the phony lip service they frequently pay to the private sector when they address a broader public. The Apollo Alliance had proposed an $11 billion budget for green jobs. They got it from Obama. Beck also pointed out that the “Cash for Clunkers” stimulus program was proposed by Jones. He omitted one other salient fact: Jones was picked for his White House job by the Soros-funded and -organized Center for American Progress (John Podesta, its head, was the head of Obama’s transition team).
The Apollo Alliance, of course, may very well have been the real author of the porkulus bill, which we discussed here. Social justice is nothing more than a code word for Marxism.
Van Jones thinks Republicans are, well, a word not printable on a famly blog:
As Patrick at Badger Blogger observes:
Is it any wonder that Obama’s poll numbers have dropped like a rock, the man surrounds himself with communists, terrorists and racists …
Birds of a feather …
And now we learn that Van Jones is a 9/11 Troofer moonbat. Via Gateway Pundit, the screen cap that shows his name on the 9-11 Truth document (in case it disappears down the rabbit hole):
Over at Hot Air, Allahpundit adds:
I’ve been trying to come up with a joke all morning about what sort of leftist lunatic might be next on O’s hiring list, but I simply can’t top “Truther communist.” Congratulations, Barry: You’re now parody-proof.
Also, AP notes the need for the next Republican-controlled Congress to introduce and pass legislation calling for all of these so-called czars to have to undergo confirmation hearings by the Senate, as would Cabinet officials and top-level advisers.
Once again, you are judged by the company you keep. For His entire adult life, first as a community organzer, then as a political hack from the Chicago machine and now as POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama has been closely aligned with and has associated with dangerous leftwing radicals, communists, Marxists, et al.
Clearly, He is not uncomfortable with their beliefs and ideas. What is it they say about birds of a feather?
Oh right, they flock together.
