Czar
They could have/should have picked something simple and non-controversial like despot, tyrant, dictator or even minion.

Because it is a pejorative term and was never used until Obama was elected. Fox, Beck, Limbaugh, all started calling the advisers czars.

Why didn't you make an issue of it when Bush appointed 33 new "czars" ?


I did back then but 39 is till higher than 33 - and still counting. Why noy call them secretaries, or overlords? Why czars?

Nothing new?? 39 "Czars" since 2009? Nothing new doesn't make it right. He still has three more years to achieve an all-time high.

I'll take the job if it's offered. I like the perks that go with Government service.

Janet Napolitano just resigned as head of Homeland Security. Another "Czar" bites the dust. Any guesses on who her replacement might be?

Czar
Has Obama quit appointing "Czars"? I wonder if someone finally got to him and convinced him that "czar" has a decidedly negative connotation for some people?

Snowden really isn't the issue here is he? This is really about an out of control government that has no business collecting information on our lives without probable cause. If they really were concerned about security in this nation our borders would not be open, we would profile individuals that fit the description of terrorists, become very interested in the Islam centers in this nation that spew out hate for this nation, and cooperated with Israel a lot more by providing whatever they need to police that section of the world since they do it much better then anyone.

Instead we collect as much information as possible on everyday Americans and are now wanting to expand that in the Medical field when the prior law said it's none of the business as that's between the doctor and us.

The Constitution forbids the government being intrusive in my personal affairs and requires that they make provisions to protect it's citizens. This administration and several that proceeded it seem to have it backwards.

Have you had your head in the sand or what? It's been well known that international communications has been monitored since the release of the info concerning the cable taps and data recording done at AT&T facilities for years. It's no surprise that intra-national communications has been monitored by authorities since the passing of the Patriot Act. However, it was surprising as to the extent of this monitoring and recording and data mining without any court order.


I said "pervasive" to illustrate what was happening. Its occurence was established fact but few people expected the depth and breadth of it.

Does anyone think we would have learned of the NSA's pervasive snooping if it had not been for Snowden?

I am thinking the U.S. government can impose harsh sanctions against any country that attempts to grant asylum to this malcontent. This would force him to live out his existence in a Russian airport using their public restrooms. Seems fair.


Like that'll make a big difference to Bolivia or Venezuela.
