American Czars- Are you KIDDING ME?????

For over 50 years, we had a cold war ……………..Many you have no clue what that meant. But I remember, and I am only 55.

I remember people building ’bomb shelters’. Barely underground, stocked with maybe a months worth of fruits and vegetables, and a single cot. I remember being told how to protect myself, and practicing the technique of “Duck and Cover”.

Think hard and long about that.

Age 5 to 18, ……………….kids …………. Told that in the event of a nuclear bomb, all we had to do was duck under our wooden desks, put our hands over our heads, and we would be safe………………………….. OUR Government told us that – our parents, teachers and ministers, re-enforced the truth in it, as they were led to believe.

We all believed.

And the word ‘Czar', was the title used for a Russian Leader – the enemy – the ones that would send this bomb.

Yet now today, we have Czars in America, No one seems to know the true count – 14, 16, maybe 20?

OK OK OK - I know that isnt their 'official' title. But as they say, if it walks like a duck etc.

The very idea is insulting, and fearsome. But look at what they are, and how they got there. Like the rulers of Russia, they have power; but from here, and what authority?

They can ‘make rules’, ‘establish ‘edits’, and ‘make policy’. But the President does not HAVE that authority to give them!

Those 'create' laws – which can only be established by Congress!

That places them ABOVE the Cabinet. A Cabinet, that is ‘recommended’ by the President, but is ALSO Investigated (vetted), and APPROVED by Congress!!!!!


Ah – but see – Czars are not covered in the law, or tort, or the constitution …….. so no one, OTHER than the Pres – decides.

In all my years, I have never been so afraid of ANY government ……………. And it is ours that terrifies me!
