If you wanted to avoid being called a communist.....

[TheGreatGatsby]

Wouldn't you avoid appointing a bunch of unelected czars? Isn't that just f'ing common sense?

What do "czars" have to do with Communism?

Does that make Reagan, and Bush 1 and 2 communists?

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

More of an associative definition than literal....

It was the czar that the communists overthrown..... But either way it was totalitarian for totalitarian.

You really have to explain what the hell you even mean.

I think he means putting unelected, unvetted, and unconfirmed people in charge of our country. There is no check and balance for these people

They had like one or two and not dozens

The term "czar" in reference to an appointed low-level cabinet position goes back to Nixon's administration.

So, again.

How does appointing "czars" make Obama a Communist?

Reagan was the 1st president to appoint what we now call a "czar"

Wait... no, that's not right at all!

List of U.S. executive branch czars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bush had 33.

I find it interesting that Joshua Dubois faith based czar (what happened to Dems hardcore separation of church and state?) was Obama's Senate Aide. I think he's just making up phony bologna jobs for him to suck on gravy. Meanwhile we have to pay for him to have such political minions at his disposal.

Actually, doing some research, it looks like the term goes back to FDR.

I'm going to present private sector employment, because republicans hate government employee's

Romney said of Obama, “he wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government
workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not
get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back
on government and help the American people.”

private sector jobs

Eight years of supply side vulture capitalism.
Jan 2001 --111,631
Jan 2009 --110,985
---------------646 thousand jobs lost.


11 years,8 months of supply side vulture capitalism.
Jan 2001 --111,631
Jul 2012 --111,317
---------------314 thousand jobs lost.

Three trillion dollars in tax cuts in 11 and 1/2 years, and we wind up with
314 thousand jobs lost.

For Republicans, Lying is a way of life.

True. They have more to do with fuedalism.

None of the "czar" positions hold any real power. They're advisory positions.

And most of "czars" are Senate-confirmed.

You are correct, I was mistaken.

Wow, are you seriously fucking getting hung up on a media created term?

Find another fucking thing to complain about.
