One Down…Many, Many to Go
A handy reference list to keep track of Obama’s unconstitutional Czars:
The Compleat* List of Czars
Nancy Matthis
American Daughter
*[The spelling of the title is a literary allusion to The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton, circa 1653, a staple of English literature. The variant spelling “compleat” signifies “quintessential,” the be all and end all, the last word.]

At what point do the 50 states recognize that DC has become a clear and present danger to all of us? And where the hell are the governors of the states? What is the sense in having either of them? The communists have always said that they would sell us the rope that they would hang us with and they are. We thought we would buy it at the store, little did we know that they have other plans.
