Comment: Obama was also the most liberal member of the Senate. And now we're a community and he can socialize us. But Ms. Sarandon is not the only one to adore the new President. Even before Obama took office, U.S. Congressman Jose Serrano introduced a bill to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, so the "Great One" could serve more than two terms.



Ed Schultz

Political pundit and host of The Ed Show, a daily news program on MSNBC, and The Ed Schultz Show, a nationally syndicated talk radio show.
Quote
"The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They'd rather make money off your dead corpse! They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don't have anything for her!"

Said in a rant on The Ed Show September 23, 2009. See Mr. Schultz make these comments here.

Comment: I would think the left would mellow out now that they have seized control of the House, Senate, and Presidency. But, no, they seem to be louder, more ornery, more contentious, and more extreme in their comments and actions than ever before. And in many cases, such as with the quote cited, more stupid.



Charles Schumer

U.S. Senator, Democrat, from the State of New York, serving since 1999.
Quote
"We hope the president chooses someone thoughtful, mainstream, pragmatic [to serve as Supreme Court Justice] -- someone just like Sandra Day O'Connor."

Comment: Shabazz is the same man the Obama administration Department of Justice refused to prosecute after he was filmed on Election Day 2008 with Jerry Jackson wearing paramilitary uniforms, carrying a nightstick and blocking a doorway to a polling location to intimidate voters. (Source.)
Into a megaphone on a crowded sidewalk, Shabazz shouted, "I hate white people -- all of them! Every last iota of a cracker, I hate 'em."
In a Philadelphia Inquirer interview in 2008, Sabazz said, "I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy." (Source.)



Sonia Sotomayor

Federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. President Obama has nominated her for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Quote
"All of the legal defense funds out there -- they're looking for people with court of appeals experience, because it is -- Court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know -- and I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law -- I know." [Emphasis added.]

In a statement at the Duke University School of Law, during a panel discussion in 2005.
Source: Said in a video shown on the Glenn Beck Program, May 26, 2009, Fox News. (See her make these comments here.)

Comment: Oops! A liberal judge speaks the truth about how liberals make policy in the courts. Of course the Constitution states policy is the exclusive responsibility of the legislative branch of government, but liberals will use any opportunity to get their way: legal or otherwise. That's why liberals so often get their way.


Sonia Sotomayor


Quote
"To suggest to anyone that you can outlaw the use of foreign or international law is a sentiment that is based on a fundamental misunderstanding. What you would be asking American judges to do is close their minds to good ideas."

Said in a speech to the Puerto Rican Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, shortly after she was contacted about filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Comment: Oh, my! What is it about liberal judges that prevents them from understanding their role is to interpret United States law, not to seek out foreign law that might provide cover for the policy they wish to legislate from the bench? When liberals can't get their legislation passed by the legislative branch of government, they unlawfully use the judicial branch to do their bidding. This is blatant corruption. This is an absolute outrage.




Cass Sunstein

Legal scholar, particularly in the fields of constitutional law, administrative law, environmental law, and law and behavioral economics. He taught at the University of Chicago Law School for more than 27 years. He is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and will head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Obama administration.

1. "We ought to ban hunting, if there isn't a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It's time now."
2. "Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law . . . Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients' behalf . . ."

1. In a keynote speech at a 2007 Harvard University conference called "Facing Animals."

Comment: The referenced source states that Mr. Sunstein believes livestock and wild animals should have legal "rights;" grayhound racing, cosmetics testing and meat eating should be eliminated; people should try to expel rats from their homes in a way that does not harm them; current uses of animals are akin to "human slavery"; and our willingness to subject animals to unjustified suffering will be seen in many ways as morally akin to the mass extermination of human beings. President Obama appointed this guy as "regulatory czar," who will oversee regulations submitted by hundreds of federal agencies throughout the federal government.


Cass Sunstein


Quote
"A full-grown horse or dog, is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as a more conversable animal, than an infant of a day or a week or even a month, old."

Comment: When we begin to think of human beings as "just another animal," or as Mr. Sunstein says of early-stage embryos, "just a handful of cells," we have crossed the Rubicon. All our thinking, our laws, our values, our religions are scrambled. Flood gates are opened: why not develop a superior race? Why not gas Jews in ovens? Why not turn blacks into slaves? Without respect for life and human beings, the worst of humanity is unleashed.

It must be assumed Barack Obama supports the same thinking as Mr. Sunstein, because the President named him as a close advisor.
