[D2bets]

Why did the author feel the need to point out that the "AIDS czar" is an openly gay white man?

And I like how some of these "czars" are just cabinet secretaries (sec of education, sec of energy, etc.). Now we're relabeling them czars and acting like appointing them is strange.

Republicans have become stricken with Obamuenza.

A partial list of George W. Bush's czars.

• Cyber Security Czar
• Regulatory Czar
• AIDS Czar
• Bird Flu Czar

The only argument you can make is that he's continuing Bush policy with these positions. If that was such a problem, where were you guys when Bush was filling these positions? Never heard a peep.

Yes, but did Bush have a Watermelon/FriedChicken Czar?

But Pat Patriot's unsourced list is bulletproof. LMAO

Go ahead and improve the article. I didn't write it, I didn't check it, just went to the most authoritative source that can be found on the web these days. Take everything with a grain of salt. Point is pretty clear that Obama has a lot of czars and Bush had a lot of czars, yet it only now has become an issue because of Obamaphobia.

 

[paftraft]

I'm not really into this Czar thing but after seeing this list I'm wondering if any of the other Czar's are as blatently unamerican as this Van Jones guy? Van Jones is a huge gift to the rising antiobama faction of the populace!

I won’t comment because he’s a Harvard graduate and a Chicago law professor. That kind of background can get you elected president. You can judge for yourself.

A new intellectual champion of absolutism has now emerged. Mild-mannered University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein has been advancing the radical notion that all rights — including rights usually held to be "against" the state, such as the right to freedom of speech and the right not to be arbitrarily imprisoned or tortured — are grants from the state. In a book co-authored with Stephen Holmes, The Cost of Rights, he argued that "all legal rights are, or aspire to be, welfare rights," that is, positive grants from the state. There is no difference in kind between the right not to be tortured and the right to taxpayer-subsidized dental care.

Sunstein insists that without government protection no one would enjoy anything of value, and therefore that all value must be attributed to the action of the state:

"Government is 'implicated' in everything people own. . . . If rich people have a great deal of money, it is because the government furnishes a system in which they are entitled to have and keep that money."

The ethical implications Sunstein draws from his theory of value do not withstand scrutiny. He says that "to believe that people have a right to their current holdings, so that any diminution of those holdings amounts to a violation of their rights . . . is an utterly implausible position. Those who possess a great deal do so because laws and institutions, including public institutions, make their holdings possible. . . . In the state of nature — freed from the protection of law and government — how well would wealthy people fare?" Let's see what else this theory would entail: If a doctor were to save my life, then, since the doctor would be responsible for my existence, and therefore for all of the liberty and wealth that I might enjoy or create henceforth, the doctor would have the right to decide what should happen with that liberty and that wealth, since without the doctor neither I, nor the liberty, nor the wealth would exist. In short, Sunstein's ethical theory is just silly.

Then tell me what IS the most authoritative source so I can look there instead.
