This article is from World Net Daily. Another czar. It seems as if President Obama's regulatory chief has written an interesting little book. "In 2004, Sunstein penned a book, 'The Second Bill of Rights: FDR'S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever,' in which he advanced the radical notion that welfare rights, including some controversial inceptions, be granted by the state. His inspiration for a new bill of rights came from President Roosevelt's 1944 proposal of a different, new set of bill of rights." This is from what this man wrote. It is not some twisted, made up accusation. When we look at what some of his proposed new rights are, we can see that this will require a fundamental transformation of our government and country. This is very similar to the change that Theodore Roosevelt proposed to some extent in his various speeches. This has a lot to do with the progressive movement that started under Wilson. This is a fundamental change of our system that will result in a more authoritarian government.
Lets list some of these new rights and what new powers would be required for the government to gives us these new rights. I don't think I need to state how this is wrong and would require some people to become slaves to other people. (1) "The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation[.]" (2)"The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health[.]" (3) The right of every family to a decent home[.]" We have tried this, and look at the economic consequences--the current economic situation. These are just a few of the proposed new rights. They sound good right. Who could be against having a job and health care as a right?
"This is not a description of Cuba, communist China, or the USSR until 1991. It's the vision of the future of the U.S, as mandated by a radical new "bill of rights" drawn up and pushed by President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein. Until now, Sunstein's proposal has received little scrutiny."
These new rights come at the expense of our freedoms. These new rights will require a parental government that would have the authority that a parent has over their child.
This illustrates that someone who Obama appointed to a position of power and influence is proposing a very fundamental transformation of our system that would lead to a bigger government that would intrude on the private, individual sphere. These radicals are just all over the place. If obama does not agree with this, then why is this guy his czar? Again, this is coming under the guise of taking care of us and is exactly how Toquville predicted that tyranny would establish itself in a free nation. "Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?[...]I have always thought that servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind which I have just described might be combined more easily than is commonly believed with some of the outward forms of freedom, and that it might even establish itself under the wing of the sovereignty of the people." If people want these new rights, then they better be prepared to give up a lot of their freedoms. The main point I want to get across is that there is an attempt to transform our nation and that there is a quiet revolution occurring. We are in the early stages of our Country undergoing a fundamental transformation. This is preview of America's future. It won't matter until a long time from now, so who cares.

Or maybe say "this is the vision of America that those currently in power work towards". Obama is putting on the full court press to make it happen. The good thing is that the harder he pushes, the more people wake up to him. But, will enough wake up? Cass Sunstein was approved by Congress with little debate. The Wall Street Journal has this to say about him and his position:
ReplyDelete"Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law School professor who pioneered efforts to design regulation around the ways people behave, will be named the Obama administration's regulatory czar, a transition official said Wednesday.
Mr. Sunstein, a friend of President-elect Barack Obama from their faculty days at the University of Chicago law school, will mark a sharp departure for the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Although obscure, the post wields outsize power. It oversees regulations throughout the government, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Obama aides have said the job will be crucial as the new administration overhauls financial-services regulations, attempts to pass universal health care and tries to forge a new approach to controlling emissions of greenhouse gases."
Happy days are here again! My government owes it to me!
"Or maybe say 'this is the vision of America that those currently in power work towards'."
ReplyDeleteWhat is this vision of America and what does it ultimately lead to?

Rush Limbaugh was talking about this topic, "So many things that Obama does appear to be isolated, but they are interconnected to organizing the private sector to serve the state -- and that's not the way this country was founded. You have to remember this about Barack Obama. He does not like this country as constituted. He does not like the US Constitution. He just had somebody else appointed as a czar, Cass Sunstein or maybe not a czar.[...]Cass Sunstein is one of these people, he's a legal professor, law professor somewhere. He's a lawyer. He's one of these people that believes the Bill of Rights equals "negative rights." Now, the United States Constitution tells the government what it cannot do to its people. It cannot infringe upon our freedom in these ways. People like Cass Sunstein and Barack Obama look at that as negative!"
"The Constitution is an obstacle to them. The concept of "negative rights" means that the Bill of Rights does not tell leaders of the government what they can do to us. They say "for us," but what they mean is "to us." They feel constrained by it.[...]Who could oppose people helping one another? It's just like environmentalists: "Who could oppose dirty water? Who could be against clean air? Who can be against saving the climate?" Folks, you've got to understand issue to issue to issue, it doesn't matter what it is: It's always going to be couched in compassion, proving your life, making health care bettered."
"All it is is a baby step device to rob you of your freedom. So many things that he does appear to be isolated, but they are connected to organizing the private sector to serve the state."
"Obama aides have said the job will be crucial as the new administration overhauls financial-services regulations, attempts to pass universal health care and tries to forge a new approach to controlling emissions of greenhouse gases." All of this is just the excuse and means to their end. Just like the right to a job and health care. It has nothing to do with these things.
