I think we are slowly being indoctrinated to the wonderful world of Russia. They are trying to get us all used to the verbage, so that when the 'takeover' happens, we'll be complacent and used to the Russian ways of life.

oh my white gravey, you are totally right! Seriously, that really bothered me. I was all wtf-ing because I did a bit of research on Anastasia, the lost Russian Dutchess, and her father was Czar and I was all...we have Russian Kings???? I did the same thing with the tea parties. I totally thought that loads of people were gonna get together at a garden party, drink tea and talk about the effects of tea vrs. coffee. Then I figured out the historical stuff and I felt so stupid. *lol* "We are going to have a magnificent garden party, and your NOT invited!" Captain Jack Sparrow. *lol* I was just reminded of that line and felt it was perfect.

Yes, I don't get paid near enough to spout this nonsense, lol. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before we are forced to eat tree bark like the North Korean people. We need a revolution!!

Hi Swashbuckle, it may delight you to know that the late Czar Nicholas, father of Anastasia, had as his main political advisor a mad monk known as Rasputin, a very interesting character who wore a long scruffy beard and may or may not have had a relationship with the Czars wife Alexandra, in fact thinking back he was more her advisor and she advised her husband. Now that ties into some of the previous US presidents I think.

yay, I love this history thing. You know what, I heard that Rasputin was a Vmapyre. Like they tried to assasinate him, the poisoned him, shot him, beat him up at one point, I think (its been a while since I've done any reaserch on this. Most of it was done in highschool for a project) and then thrown into an icy river and I don't think he was seen after that. But I could be wrong. Thanks for letting me know. Man, he's like the evil!Merlin

Though we joke about the term...the position is nothing funny. It is basicly a cabinate position that isn't subject to aproval by congress and not subject to the normal checks abnd balances put in place. I think it should be (and constitutionaly is) ILEGAL to apoint people of such power with out congressional aproval (aka us...the people).

That is actual legal grounds to Impeach Obama! I am still working on it. I gotta find some Republican senators that support me on this!

Czar is a very apt term for these offices that Obama is creating. A czar is an autocratic ruler, a tyrant, a dictator, wielding all power and control, an emperor. They don't answer to the people, we can't vote them out of office just as an emperor is not voted out.

That's why we should impeach obama, he created this thing without our consent. He's a political Rap!st and should be kicked to the curb on his bum!!!
