Tzars Overrunning America

The lamestream media told you:

Obama has appointed a car czar to handle the automobile companies the government took over.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Tzars are helatious tyrannical dictators detested the world over, and most were ousted or killed early last century. As of July 1st -- all beholden solely to Mr. Obama -- America is now infested with these unregulated pests, and the media just blandly reports that a few new ones have come on board.

INSIDER STUFF: This from a ranking Republican in the machinery, preliminary to a statement about tzars you may be seeing soon:

"...There is a shift in government operating philosophy the Obama Administration has implemented without any Congressional action... The czars may be an effort to completely circumvent the cabinet secretaries who are still somewhat accountable to Congress because of the appropriation and authorization process. There does not seem to be any accountability for whatever action the czars take...

"It seems to me that Obama and his advisors realize they can't spend all of the money they have authorized or implement the changes they want through the normal Congressional/authorization process. Therefore they have built an alternate government made up of czars to distribute the money. What we are being told is that the czars are contacting the states to make sure the money is being used properly...

"However, early indications are that the czars are contacting states and local supporters of Obama. This smells like the worst kind of political cronyism and will probably result in corruption and waste of tax dollars on a scale that is completely impossible to get a handle on and do any kind of legal enforcement on; as they have done in Chicago for decades, we are now doing as a nation."

Let's hope someone in the system has the cojones to make such a statement.

While some in the "news" media and other pundits are indignantly asking, "What's with all the tzars?" none are calling for an end to the tzarist era, arrest of anyone acting as a tzar, or dismantling the growing tzarist networks of power. Stop tzars now. Tzars are unAmerican and should be banished. Anyone supporting tzars and their exercise of power should be socially ostracized. Don't question tzars. Excise them.
