I think it was obama that started this BS.
In American government we don't need any more description than 'Head of', or 'Chief of' to describe someone in charge of some department or agency, let alone some made up BS position of which we have way too many.

Nah, I actually think Bill Bennett was the Drug Czar under Bush Sr.
ReplyDeleteBut Obama expanded the concept.
The administrative state .
The Swamp.
Ok Ed.
DeleteRegardless, this post could be the one that saves the republic !
Well, that goes without saying!
Deletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._executive_branch_czars Interesting stuff :-)
DeleteOH! My link won't publish here because it's "protected by reCAPTCHA" (??) but FDR was the first to have a CZAR: ECONOMIC CZAR.... Maybe Google Executive Branch Czars and you can see the list!!
DeleteNo, You're good Z. I just needed to release your comment as I do with all comments.
DeleteWell, FDR also a communist.
DeleteZ, Geezix, well quite a few communists, both red and blue had them according to your link.
DeleteNow is the time to put a stop to it ! ;-)
Definitely time, you're right...we have a media like PRAVDA, so I guess CZAR fits, however :-) By the way, sorry....usually, your site SAYS you'll be published...this one didn't say anything so I figured there was a glitch :-)
DeleteWe're in the era of glitches galore Z
DeleteKaiser ... Czar ... Tsar ... all meaning Caesar -- and that is where our country is today. We deserve no better.
ReplyDeleteKid Tested, Mother Approved Mustang !
DeleteYES
DeleteYup, Caesar - that's where my mind always goes when I hear this ridiculous designation.
DeleteBAYSIDER
And Caesar's name was actually pronounced Kai-ser
DeleteCzar, as in "the Czar of all gerontocrat idiocracy"? That'd be us, right about now.
ReplyDeleteLSP, We are the movie Idiocracy today.
DeleteHistory says the title Czar eventually becomes synonymous with "target".
ReplyDeleteWorks for me Jess !
DeleteLanguage matters. Calling someone a Czar gives them perceived power and authority far beyond that they were granted statutorily. It also salves the typical power mongers ego. If you are going to wield unconstitutional power without accountability it helps to have a title that cows the peons so they don't question your actions.
ReplyDeleteAgree Dan. Similar to when ever the hell it was they stopped calling politicians public servants and started calling them leaders.
DeleteAin't it timely the SCOTUS Leak and the Baby Formula glitch;
ReplyDeleteAin't it useful to be able to establish a Disinformation Czar, to keep us Surfs, Peasants,
Peons- form exposing the White Supremacist/Marxist/Socialist - Democrat plan to bring
all those from South America ( the token people of color) raised/indoctrinated for a Socialist
Invasion. The German SS and possibly The Furrer himself, lived in all those Fortified Compounds
that are being uncovered in Argentina, and other neighboring countries.

Agree TS. The dems are at war with America and probably most to their surprise is how most people don't even know it.
