President Obama's diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to "step down" in favor of minorities, prescribed policies to make liberal talk radio more successful, and described Hugo Chavez's rise to power in Venezuela "an incredible revolution."

Mark Lloyd's provocative comments - most made during a tenure at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank - are giving fodder to critics who say Mr. Obama has appointed too many "czars" to government positions that don't require congressional approval. They are also worrying to some conservatives who fear the FCC might use its powers to remove their competitive advantage on talk radio and television

Diversity czar?

Is that a polite way of saying chief race baiter?

I think the word is not Czar but commissar—a political officer attached to every government agency to make sure that officers toed the party line.

How exactly does one define or impose diversity? I don't think any man can come to a definitive conclusion. Is Lloyd trying to play G-d?

I swear, I think I’m hallucinating when I hear about some of the stuff that’s going on.

Maybe that’s their new trick.

To do so many outrageously unbelievable things out in the open that we refuse to believe our own “lying” eyes and ears.

Well, the Center For American Progress stood up for him. They’re only slightly to the left of Lenin.

“How exactly does one define or impose diversity?”

Diversity means “pick any color you want, as long as it’s not white”/s

It’s time we declared two Long Wars:

The Overseas Long War = The War On Terror

The Domestic Long War = The War On Communism

Unfortunately the war doesn’t end when our brave men and women come home.
