            ONLY IN AMERICA: A COMMUNIST CZAR

            by Jeff Crouere 

            Mr Crouere is the Political Analyst for WGNO-TV ABC26 and a Columnist for selected publications.

            In imperial Russia, czars ruled the country and had complete power. They were imperial monarchs who were eventually overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the communist revolution. In Russia, the communists succeeded the czars and ruled with an iron first for 74 years. The brutal communist system, which featured gulags and mass murder eventually collapsed under the weight of its own corruption and failed economic policies. 

            Communism failed not only in Russia, but in every country where it has been tried. After the Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989, millions of Eastern Europeans tasted freedom for the first time. Sadly, communism remained in countries such as North Korea, China and Cuba and today it is seeing resurgence. Dictators such as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua have communist tendencies and want to emulate Fidel Castro of Cuba. 

            What is amazing is that the United States of America is also following suit. The Obama administration has been aggressively accumulating as much government power as possible and taking over companies in the private sector. From the financial industry to the automotive industry, major entities are now owned by the federal government. This government intrusion into the free market system is disturbing to say the least, but making it even more disturbing is that the President is appointing radicals to his administration. Of course, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a host of other cabinet secretaries are renowned leftists, but they are positively conservative compared to "Green Jobs" czar Van Jones. 

            Jones is a self proclaimed communist, who worked as a black radical and has a long history as a left coast community organizer and anarchist. In 1992, Jones rioted after the Rodney King verdict and was arrested. Instead of changing his ways and becoming a law abiding citizen, Jones was "radicalized in jail." Upon his release, Jones started a utopian organization that advocated communism and central planning. Eventually, he became a proponent for extreme environmentalism and "green jobs."

            President Obama is the first president in recent history to appoint a communist to a key government position. It is amazing that Obama would not only choose an admitted communist for this czar position, but someone with a criminal record. This is another in a long line of disturbing decisions made by Barack Obama. 

            The President is obviously intent on amassing as much power as possible in the executive branch of government which is why so many czars are being appointed. According to U.S. Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), the czars are part of a separate government structure that "is outside of the Constitution and the authority of Congress." 

            The czars purportedly have a special influence over a particular topic and can work across government departments to deal with a certain problem. Unlike cabinet secretaries, czars are not confirmed by Congress and report directly to the President, who sets their salary and creates their job role description. Therefore, the American people are clueless about the type of people that the President is appointing to the most important positions in government. There is no pubic examination of their record, so radicals and communists like Van Jones can slip into these offices with not one whiff of public opposition. 

            Of course, the media is completely negligent on this issue and is not doing their job of informing the public about the background of key people in this administration. Since the broadcast networks are basically cheerleaders for President Obama and were careful to minimize his radical association with terrorist William Ayers, it is not surprising that the major news outlets in this country are not alarmed about a communist wielding significant power in the Obama administration. 

            According to the best estimates, President Obama has appointed Jones and almost three dozen other czars to his administration, dealing with issues that range from drugs to the automotive industry. Do we really need a "domestic violence" czar or an "urban affairs" czar? Of course not and the creation of these positions expose a major problem with our government bureaucracy. According to publisher and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, "It underscores the inefficiency of government that you keep ... having people, hoping that maybe they will get something done that the massive government bureaucracy cannot." 

            Our first czar was created to be the nation's quarterback in the war on drugs. Unfortunately, that effort was a major failure, as will the efforts of the 36 czars appointed by President Obama. 

            In imperial Russia, the czars also failed in their mission to hold power. They might have been unsuccessful, but they definitely were not communist. In this country, we are intent on creating government czars including one who is an unabashed communist. 

            Like imperial Russia, our czars will undoubted fail, but who knows how much damage they will do to our nation in the process. Eventually, this nation will either collapse like czarist Russia or Americans will wake up to the nightmare that is engulfing this nation and take action.

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL

"Socialism is the philosophy of failure , the creed of ignorance , and the gospel of envy". - May 28, 1948

«La democracia es el peor de los sistemas. Claro, si excluimos a todos los demas».

"The inherent vice of Capitalism is the inequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries". Commons, October 22, 1945

"The russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration . They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people". - Brighton, October 4, 1947

"Everyone can see how Communism rots the soul of a nation; how it makes it abject and hungry in peace and abominable in war". - London, October 1, 1939

"I tell you it's no use arguing with a communist. It's no good trying to convert a communist or persuade him.You can only deal with him on the following basis...you can only do it by having superior force on your side on the matter in question --and they must also be convinced that you will use --- you will not hesitate to use -- those forces , if necessary, in the most ruthless manner. You have not only to convince a communist government that you have a superior force -- that they are confronted by superior force--but that you are not restrained by any moral consideration, if the case arose , from using that force with complete material ruthlessness. And that is the greatest chance of peace, the surest road to peace". - March 25, 1949.

"I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt , not only on one side of the House but throughout the civilized world , that strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.". Commons, January 26, 1949

«¿Ha habido alguna vez en toda la historia del mundo un espectáculo más terrible que el que exhibe la agonía de Rusia? ... Las teorías de Lenin y de Trotsky han quebrado fatalmente, y podría ser finalmente, los medios de correspondencia entre hombre y hombre, entre obrero y campesino ... Han empujado al hombre desde la civilización del sigio XX a una condición de barbarie peor que la de la Era de Piedra... ¡Y esto es progreso, esto es libertad! ¡Esto es utopía! Esto es lo que mi amigo en la galería llamaría un interesante experimento en Regeneración Social. ¡Qué monstruoso absurdo y perversión de la verdad es presentar la teoría comunista como una forma de progreso, cuando, a cada paso, lo que hace es simplemente retroceder a la Edad Media» ... Enero 3 de 1921, en Sunderland.

"My hatred of Bolshevism and Bolsheviks is not founded on their silly system of economics or their absurd doctrine of an impossible equality. It arises from the bloody and devastating terrorism which they practice in every land into which they have broken, and by which alone their criminal regime can be mantained" Commons, July 8, 1920

"You may try to destroy wealth, and find that all you have done is to increase poverty" ... Commons, March 12, 1947

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, 
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

Under this system the best incentive for work disappears, production necessarily drops and indolence and misery prevail in all of society”

Plinio Correa de Oliveira

Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (“Carlos the Jackal”) wrote in his book, L’islam revolutionnaire (Revolutionary Islam) that “only a coalition of Marxists and Islamists can destroy the United States.”  Revolutionary Islam, he argues, "attacks the ruling classes in order to achieve a more equitable redistribution of wealth" and Islam is the only "transnational force capable of standing up the enslavement of nations"

“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”

Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.   But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
 Norman Thomas / U.S. Socialist Party

Presidential candidate 1940

"NO PODEMOS ESPERAR QUE LOS AMERICANOS SALTEN DEL CAPITALISMO AL COMUNISMO, PERO PODEMOS ASISTIR A SUS LIDERES ELECTOS EN DARLE A LOS AMERICANOS PEQUEÑAS DOSIS DE SOCIALISMO HASTA QUE ELLOS REPENTINAMENTE DESPIERTEN Y ENCUENTREN QUE TIENEN UN COMUNISMO".

--Nikita Khrushchev, 1959 ex-Presidente de la Union Sovietica apodado El Carnicero.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.  What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.  When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.  You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

~~~~~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005 ~~~~

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas. 1944 speech

A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious.But it can not survive treason from within.
Our enemy at the gates is less formidable, for is known and he carries his banners openly against the city.
But the traitor lives among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers, rutting through the alleys, heard in the very halls of
government itself.
For the traitor appears no traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rats the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politics, so it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared.
A traitor is the plague.

Marcus Tullius Cicerón    

“The problem with socialism in that you eventually run out of Money”

 Margaret Thatcher

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism." Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867

“I don’t like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government’s role 

Barack Obama

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb." - 

Benjamin Franklin

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. 

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. 

Thomas Jefferson
