On his radio program today, Glenn Beck put out a "Call to Arms" for all his faithful listeners to scour the Internet and dig up information on the growing list of King Obama's "Czars." He noted that some sources such as Wikipedia has been attempting to remove/replace information so as to cover their tracks. Glenn alluded to possibly blowing the lid off this thing when he returns from vacation a week from now. So let's help him fellow FReepers, shall we!!? AND LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED!!This shall be Zero's DOWNFALL!! Let's blow the lid off this thing!!
(See complete list of King Obama's Czrs below)
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced a new “Chief Diversity Officer,” communications attorney Mark Lloyd.
But Doctor of Jurisprudence Lloyd is far more than merely a communications attorney. He was at one time a Senior Fellow at the uber-liberal Center for American Progress (CAP), for whom he co-wrote a June 2007 report entitled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio.”
Which rails against the fact that the American people overwhelmingly prefer to listen to conservative (and Christian) talk radio rather than the liberal alternative, and suggests ways the federal government can remedy this free-market created “problem.”
Restore local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations.
-Ensure greater local accountability over radio licensing.
-Require commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting.
-These last two get perilously close to the use of “localism” to silence conservative (and Christian) radio stations, about which we have been warning for quite some time.
In Lloyd’s own words:
“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) must be reformed along democratic lines and funded on a substantial level. Federal and regional broadcast operations and local stations should be funded at levels commensurate with or above those spending levels at which commercial operations are funded. This funding should come from license fees charged to commercial broadcasters. Funding should not come from congressional appropriations. Sponsorship should be prohibited at all public broadcasters.”

FCC’s Chief Diversity Officer Wants Private Broadcasters to Pay a Sum Equal to Their Total Operating Costs to Fund Public Broadcasting. Mark Lloyd, newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission, has called for making private broadcasting companies pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs to allow public broadcasting outlets to spend the same on their operations as the private companies do.
Lloyd presented the idea in his 2006 book, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America, published by the University of Illinois Press.
Lloyd’s hope is to dramatically upgrade and revamp the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through new funding drawn from private broadcasters.

When he started talking about this daughter I doubt any of us had dry eyes. This guy is so good it's hard to imagine sometimes. One of the finest broadcasters of our time and a great American.
Hye bud, you may well be hopeless!
That is the Soetoro/JOker MO.
sadly so.
My guess is the Czars are just hi-tech radicals that can be controlled by Axeldork and supercede Congress.
In other words, even if we are successful in reducing zeros numbers in Congress in the 2010 election we are still stuck with these 50 bastards running roughshod over the constitution and hell bent on a full scale attack on free market capitalism.
We remain so screwed.
Lot’s of czars these days. I took a look at #34, Cass Sunstein. He is the regulatory czar.
Obama crony from Chicago and Harvard Law Professor. Now in charge of all regulation. His best selling book is called “Nudge” and apparently encourages government to “nudge” people into certain behaviors. Something about “choice architecture”. Sunsteins wife is an Obama foreign policy advisor.
We’re doomed.
He is a very articulate guy, really birhgt. But after listening to him speak on Conyers’ leash and at the friendly venues, it is obvious he is so darn socialist it is frightening that he is sitting in such a powerful position able to cause so much damage! I’m sure Rush and Glen will expose this character in the coming week. America needs to know just how ddeply committed to Communism Barry the great is!
Yes, Sunstein is another of the not so well hidden communists Barry admires! There is a growing flavor of godless secular humanism in Barry’s czarista regime.
Thanks for that clip MHG. I was about to look for it....MARCH ON FOR FREEDOM!

re: Czar Mark Lloyd - What’s frightening is, these “czars” cannot be challenged in a court of law due to executive privelidge.I hope some Republican senator has the balls to challenge Obama on his czar regime, if nothing else, but to alert the public about the destruction of their gov’t.
Not so fast. Our US Military have all made an oath to defend & protect the Constitution. Something's gotta give here. The Constitution is not a Communist document.
Yes, for sure. There can be no other explanation for how this scary stranger rose to power so quicly & so fraudulently. I mean we know hardly anything about his past, due to a complicent & criminal media. They need to throw all the b@stards in jail, when all is said and done. Watergate???? What a joke. THIS IS CZARGATE!!! You heard that term here first! Tell everyone you know.
How are the Czars paid? What is the precedent for czars? How many czars did other presidents have?
"income redistrubution czar!?!? land use czar!?!?!? WTF?
