Posts about Cass Sunstein Watch as of October 22, 2009

By   Mac Fuller   President Obama and “the other side of Barack’s brain,” Valerie Jarrett  –  whose stepfather coincidentally maintained close ties with the President’s adolescent mentor and Communist, Frank Marshall Davis  –  handpicked the following bureaucrats and placed them in positions of great authority, power, and visibility: Van Jones , “Green Jobs Czar,” self-defined Communist.   Ron Bloom , “Manufacturing Czar” cites Chairman Mao as a political guide.

Another Anti-gun Kook Joins the Obama Administration Cass Sunstein, the new “Regulatory Czar,” for starters believes in regulating hunting out of existence. He told a Harvard audience in 2007 that “we ought to ban hunting.” And in The Rights of Animals: A Very Short Primer (2002) he said: “I think we should go further…the law should impose further regulation on hunting, scientific experiments, entertainment, and farming to ensure against unnecessary animal suffering.” When you look at WHY he wants to ban hunting, you see exactly why this guy is a full blown kook.

The progressives in congress and the adminstration have learned through politics that they can’t get what they want all at once. Incrementalism is the name of the game, and the use of crises to speed the process of change. “Change” is the dismantling of capitalism by regulating the free market to achieve socialization. Some apologists for the Obama adminsitration point to the lack of drastic changes and state that some of the more radical proposals which haven’t come to fruition are simply bones he’s throwing to the “real” left — you know, those radicals who will never have power.

apparently, there is at least one real journalist left in the government-run media. the following is an excerpt from this morning’s gaggle at the wh with baghdad bob gibbs: Tapper: It’s escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations “not a news organization” and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization.
