Ugh - pet peeve of mine:
If someone is appointed to a statutorily created position and subject to confirmation by the senate they are not a “czar”. They are accountable to the congress and have specific authority and responsibility.
That said - she sounds like a loon and should be resisted.
All your organs are belong to us.
I immediately thought of Monty Python’s organ donor scene from “The Meaning of Life”
He’ll take my organs over my dead body...
‘REMOVING PEOPLE’S ORGANS WITHOUT EXPLICIT CONSENT’
That sounds about right. Since, your not free to sell your body parts, why would you also have the idea that they are yours?
You are correct. The position however, was dubbed the “Regulatory Czar” by many inside the White House.
Good! Let’s start with him now.........
I just think the over-use of the term is diluting the discussion. We can and should be concerned about this WH, or any other for that matter, over-stepping their constitutional boundaries.
When we start using the same terms to describe the un-confirmed special advisers with policy portfolios (unconstitutional and illegal) as the people who face senate scrutiny (however thin) and confirmation the issue becomes confused and the heart of the argument is lost. We either need to clean up the discussion or we need to come up with a better name for these unconfirmed advisers and change the conversation altogether.
I have read about this happening elsewhere on the globe. The problem is, the attempts to save the life of a person who is dying diminish, because the organs are needed as soon as possible for someone else.
I have a problem with a medical professional not doing everything in his power to save a person’s life...
The movie “coma” comes to mind...
I might have to have an organ removed so that they can shut the lid on the casket.
Absolutely right. I can't use the "More Czars than the Romanovs" until I have time to go through the list of alleged czars and verify which ones actually ARE unconfirmed. I expect to have that much free time right after the 2010 election.
Talk about costly! To “harvest” organs from a donor, the organs do indeed have to be “alive”. In order to keep them that way the dying individual has to be placed on life support machines. Currently, the person has been declared “brain dead” in order to do this. After the person is on the machine, a team of “harvesters” are called in and the person is taken to surgery where all of the necessary and usuable organs are removed. I am a nurse. The first time I was involved in this I found it to be rather frankensteinish...and it just upset me so profoundly even though I know that transplanting organs from a person who is officially declared dead or dying helps another to live, it still is just simply yukky. To think that the government would allow this type of thing and really rather mandate it is really objectionable. Who is to say that an unscrupulous doctor would not remove organs from someone living and not dying is certainly not without thought. There are plenty of people in our country who wouldn’t mind doing anything in order to gain what they want...so, why not? Does one really think that if Ted Kennedy could have been saved by a brain transplant, that a brain would not have been produced? All I have to say is...OMG!!
I did some background work on the supposed Bush era ‘czars’ in order to help clear the air - this might give you a head start.

Well stated! Yes, by all means...to save Kennedy, they would have found some unsuspecting person, who walked into an emergency room with a runny nose, & ended up going into some medically induced coma - here’s your new brain Teddy!
The thought is quite sickening!
That’s very helpful, thanks. I have a link somewhere to the list of Obama’s czars. After the March, and the Virginia election, I might have time to compare’n’contrast.
If is easy to decide who has to die to save a politically connected politician when you have the obamacare national database...
Speaking of opinions, he doesn't have any that are worthwhile ~ just another typical Leftwingtard!
I vote to remove a particular organ of his right now (if he has one).
