Barack the Czar Czar

He bows and scrapes overseas (on our behalf, never his), but here at home--is there no end to his Czarness, no limit to his Czardom? Are we all to become little Potemkin villages in his eyes, basking in his greatness, gutted of initiative, nannied about?

Lately Great Lakes, now a pay czar, and most sobering of all, a plan for a health czar, no, an entire commission of unaccountable personages, equipped with a life or death diktat. Another massively wrongheaded idea.

It's not government by the people, it's a government that wants to control the people. Gov. Sarah Palin (audio). 

CNN: In a speech introducing Michael Reagan — the son of former President Ronald Reagan — to an audience in Anchorage, Palin warned that the government is planning to "bail out debt ridden states" so it can "get in there and control the people."

"Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?" Palin asked. "It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained."

Fiddler on the Roof's Tevye prayed, May God bless and keep the czar--far away from me.

After the czar came revolution. Let's hope it's another American one. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
