Whenever I write a letter to the editor of the local paper, I have a local lawyer that attempts to take me to task. Here is my latest missive in response to his reply to my critique of local liberals spouting lame postulations concerning Christ's birth as well as exposing many of Obama's appointees as the far-left radicals they are:

No one Mr. Ryan believes that Adolph Hitler was anything but an occultic fascist except those from the left that try to distance him from their own desires to aggregate power. To say that Hitler was a Christian ignores the fact that everything he did flew in the face of traditional Christian doctrine. We’re a bit smarter than that Mr. Ryan, resolve to find a better argument please, this one is far too easy to refute.

Ryan attempts again to downplay statements by those in the Obama administration. You know Mr. Ryan, when someone evokes a saying like “political power lies mostly at the end of the barrel of a gun” that is attributed to Mao and that person just happens to be Ronald Bloom, an Obama manufacturing czar, it is a bit disconcerting. You however seem to have no problem whatsoever, which doesn’t mean you’re able to redefine the matter, it just means you’re clueless as to what most people around you think. Most people Mr. Ryan think it unconscionable to quote or attribute obtaining personal wisdom and insight from a man responsible for the murder of 70 million of his own countrymen.

Ryan tries to paint Obama administration officials as not especially troubling, and that could not be farther from the truth. I am equally “as loathe” that Mr. Ryan continues to assert these people are mainstream and don’t purport anything aside from the normal body politic. Mr. Ryan, let’s display their own words and see just exactly how mainstream these Obama appointees are:

John Holdren from “Ecoscience” – “Toward a Planetary Regime ... Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist.

I believe that hardly represents a mainstream political position and does lend itself to radical eco-legislation with an end that results in political revolution and aggregation of power to those in control of same legislation. I’m not a lawyer and just taking Mr. Holdren’s words at their face value. For those interested check out a copy of Holdren’s “Ecoscience” and you will find much more ideology and philosophy in this book that goes far beyond mainstream ideas.

Cass Sunstein – “A legislative effort to regulate broadcasting in the interest of democratic principles should not be seen as an abridgment of the free speech guarantee. I have argued in favor of a reformulation of First Amendment law. The overriding goal of the reformulation is to reinvigorate processes of democratic deliberation, by ensuring greater attention to public issues and greater diversity of views.”

This is Mr. Ryan’s preeminent Constitutional law scholar who’s just looking out for you. Smacks just a bit of censorship, but spun in such a manner that makes it sound like it's for the good of the nation. We heard those lines before and they're all too often associated with the likes of Marx, Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Guevara, and now Chavez.

I can and will continue to assert that Obama has amassed an administration that goes far beyond what is mainstream and acceptable and am glad to bring to print and the Internet the actual words of these radicals. We could call it “Quotes From Beyond the Political Pale.” You Mr. Ryan can continue to assert the opposite, but I’m sure that most would find that entertaining but not very plausible.

In closing let’s just say that liberals are trying very hard to distance themselves from their collective past of speech and ideology, but in this Information Age not only is it difficult, but problematic to continue down the road of an agenda that flies in the face of historical fact and record.

America is wising up Mr. Ryan, get used to it.
