Anti-Gun Cass Sunstein Confirmed - Expect Problems

[Guest sugarbear]

Friday, another radical extremist joined the ranks of the Obama administration.

Cass Sunstein, who is an old friend of Barack Obama, is now our new Regulatory Czar. You will recall that he is the guy who wants animals to sue hunters and other Americans.

He also supports gun control.

SEE who voted for him or against, you will be angry.

WOW.....I am very surprised that he got confirmation.

He's definitely got a number of views that are wayyyyy off the mark. I hope his ability to implement those views aren't as strong as we think they are.

As the self designated forum liberal, you should take my word when I say......this guy concerns me.

[TNTitan]

Dangit! now my dogs gonna sue me for sure.

[cybernorris]

ummm . the czars don't require confirmation .. they do not answer to anyone but the Prez... not the way this gov should work.

[Guest sugarbear]

As I understand his power of office he can not change law but can form adjustments to them or regulate a cost and effect measure. He could, say, add tax to this or that, for I know more what you need than you do. Cass calls this a "NUDGE". From his book, "Cass Sunstein, invites us into an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, WE can design choice environments that make it easier for them to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society." You can see Sunstien's statements regarding his stance on hunting made under oath during his confirmation hearings below; White man speak with forked tongue.

I have problem with the word Czar. The only time I ever heard that word was when a government (Russia perhaps?) somewhere overseas was being talked about. Even then it didn't sound good. Now this nut job is appointing one to everything down to toilet paper. Goes without saying that this country is going down the drain.

This is a cabinet position that already existed, and did in fact require confirmation, unlike the rest of the czars. Not that it matters anyway, if they'll approve a wacko like this. This guy is dangerous.

[Guest PapaB]

I didn't think this guy had any chance to get confirmed. I stand corrected.

Now I have to wonder, if Obama had appointed Charlie Manson for Secretary of Health and Human Services, would he have had any problems getting confirmed? How wacky do you have to be before they think you're not fit?

[Mark@Sea]

No, no, he appointed Charlie Manson to Justice...

[Guest nj.piney]

if you shoot an animal while hunting and it can still sue you , you are doing something wrong .

And so it eases into our society. From the Opinion Page of the Jackson Sun:

So, ok, if they grant animals rights, who is going to be their spokesperson?

I can't believe I wasted my time reading that

It is not a waste of your time, it is a page from the book that is to come. The one that will rule our lives as this mind set is fostered on us by the Rulers!

Just wait till they total a few of his cars instead of bushes and see what he has to say.
