Radical Rulers: Meet the Radicals

Barack Obama

President of the United States

Even before Barack Obama was nominated, disturbing reports surfaced about his background and the people who helped him form his worldview. In large part, the mainstream media ignored it all, and even ridiculed anyone who dared to look into it. Names like radical pastor Jeremiah Wright and unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers floated up now and then but were quickly pushed back down. A brief review of President Obama paints a picture of a politician who is not appointing radical leftists as one more special interest group but as — comrades.

"We’re just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." (October 31, 2008)

Van Jones

Former "Green Jobs Czar"

As "green jobs czar," Jones had at his disposal $60 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds to spend on creating eco-friendly jobs. But he had a larger agenda. Here’s what he told an audience in March 2009 just before his White House appointment: "This movement is deeper than a solar panel. Deeper than a solar panel. Don't stop there... No, we're going to change the whole system. We're going to change the whole thing."

"I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'"... "By August, I was a communist."

--Van Jones on his radicalization

after being arrested in 1992

	Mark Lloyd "Diversity Czar" A longtime left-wing activist, Lloyd was appointed as the "diversity czar" on July 29, 2009, at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency that regulates broadcast radio and television and is beginning to regulate the Internet. "In Venezuela, with [Hugo] Chavez, is really an incredible revolution..." --Mark Lloyd, June 10, 2008
And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions, we will not change the problem. We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power. --Mark Lloyd, 2005

	Kevin Jennings "Safe Schools Czar" A homosexual activist and founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Jennings now oversees a $100 million Department of Education budget and distributes grants to organizations and programs that promote health and prevent violence. This includes “anti-bullying” programs that often promote acceptance of homosexuality.
"One of the people that’s always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America." --Kevin Jennings, 1997 Gay rights pioneer Harry Hay was an outspoken supporter of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes sex between men and boys. Its slogan is: "Sex before eight, or it’s too late."

John Holdren

"Science Czar"

One of the earliest Obama appointments, John Holdren, as "science czar," signaled the Obama Administration’s intention to harness "science" to a radical social agenda. Holdren, 65, has a far-left worldview, beginning with his emergence as a "radical scientist" warning of overpopulation in the 1960s and 1970s, and continuing with doomsday warnings of catastrophic global warming up to this day.

"…It has been concluded that compulsory population control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution... The law could properly say to a mother that, in order to protect the children she already has, she could have no more."

--Ecoscience: Population, Resources, 1976 book Holdren coauthored with Paul and Anne Ehrlich

Cass Sunstein

"Regulatory Czar"

Cass Sunstein, the former University of Chicago and Harvard Law professor, is informally called the "regulatory czar." As Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, he is a de facto "bureaucrat-in-chief," and has advanced so many radical ideas that it’s hard to decide where to begin.

"Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law..."

--Animal Rights: Current Debates and

New Directions, co-authored by Sunstein

and Martha C. Nussbaum

"The state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone’s permission."

--Nudge: Improving Decisions About

Health, Wealth, and Happiness,

co-authored by Sunstein with Richard Thaler

Harold Koh

State Department Legal Advisor

Harold Koh, 55, whom Obama appointed as the top lawyer for the State Department, has long supported closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center and bringing al Qaeda terrorists to the U.S. to be tried in criminal courts. He also favors making state and federal laws conform to "international" standards, and ceding more American sovereignty through treaties. He once referred to President Bush as "the torturer in chief."

"Domestic courts must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law, not simply to promote American aims, but to advance the broader development of a well-functioning international judicial system."

--Harold Koh, "International Law as Part

of Our Law, "98 American Journal of

International Law 43, 48, 52 (2004)

Steven Chu

Secretary of Energy

A 1997 Nobel Prize winner for his work with lasers, Dr. Steven Chu is an accomplished scientist. Dr. Chu, 61, is also an aggressive backer of the more extreme theories of global warming and has predicted catastrophic outcomes if carbon emissions are not curbed. At the Summit of the Americas on April 18, 2009, Chu predicted that if global warming was not curbed, oceans would rise, islands would disappear, and the United States would suffer as well.

"Lots of area in Florida will go under. New Orleans at three-meter height is in great peril. If you look at, you know, the Bay Area, where I came from, all three airports would be under water. So this is — this is serious stuff. The impacts could be enormous."

--Steven Chu, April 2009

Chai Feldblum

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Nominee

Miss Feldblum is one of Obama's more dangerous appointees. She is smart, strategic and by being named as a commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces federal civil rights laws, she is poised to impose on the American people the radical sexual agenda that she has advocated for years.

"It requires the statement that 'gay sex is morally good'... The idea is we want to change the American workplace and we want to revolutionize social norms."

--Chai Feldblum at 2004 seminar

"I, for one, am not sure whether marriage is a normatively good institution. I have moved away from the belief that marriage is clearly the best normative way to structure intimate relationships, such that government should be actively supporting this social arrangement above all others."

--Chai Feldblum, "Gay Is Good: The Moral Case

For Marriage Equality And More"
