How many Czars does it take to circumvent The United States Constitution?

Picture of Ron Bloom:

Van Jones, the former "Green Jobs Czar" is now out of the picture. For anyone following the story, this was no surprise. Jones was an admitted Communist, and a Truther.

Now Obama is moving on to appoint the next Czar, Ron Bloom. His position will be called "senior counselor for manufacturing policy", or "manufacturing czar".

Obama chose a Labor Day union picnic on Monday as the backdrop to announce his selection of Ron Bloom, a member of his auto industry task force, as senior counselor for manufacturing policy. Bloom planned to travel to Cincinnati with Obama for an afternoon announcement at the AFL-CIO event.

Since when does the United States incorporate "manufacturing policy"? I thought that manufacturing was a private venture, not requiring policy. Sounds strange to me.

Dana Perino, a White House spokeswoman for the Bush administration, told FOX News that presidents like to appoint czars because it can be hard to get political appointees confirmed by an increasingly partisan Congress.

"They have skirted around that process so there is no accountability for the czars," she said Monday. "Nobody has to go up and testify in front of Congress. They don't have to go through the process."

This raises more than a few flags. There have been a few stories recently, pointing out how that majority of cabinet positions in Obama's administration have not been filled. Normally by this time the president has filled most of his cabinet positions.

Why would the president have such a hard time having his appointees approved? Is it because of partisan politics, or is that because the majority of people Obama wishes to appoint are just like Van Jones? People with activist pasts, who have no chance of making it through a confirmation hearing.

To answer the question, perhaps we should look at this most recent czar appointment Ron Bloom.

By now Ron Bloom’s professional road to becoming the Obama administration’s car czar has been widely reported. Missing from the coverage, however, has been any mention of those formative years at Jewish summer camp.

Born in New York City and raised in Swarthmore, a suburb of Philadelphia, much of Bloom’s early life revolved around Habonim (now known as Habonim Dror), a progressive Labor Zionist youth movement that emphasizes cultural Judaism, socialism and social justice.

The term "social justice" is often employed as a euphemism by the political left to describe a society with a greater degree of economic egalitarianism, which may be achieved through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution, policies aimed toward achieving that which developmental economists refer to as equality of opportunity and equality of outcome.

Bloom’s parents met at a Habonim summer camp in the 1940s and moved to Israel, intending to make aliyah. Though they changed their minds and moved back to the United States, Habonim remained an integral part of their lives.

“My parents had always been supportive of doing something that we found meaningful,” Bloom said. “There was always a view that what’s going on in the world matters. We talked politics at the dinner table. Life was about engagement in the world.”

At age 10, Bloom was sent with his two siblings to Camp Galil, a movement-run summer camp near Doylestown, Pa. He returned each season for the next four years and later became a camp counselor.

Bloom recalled camp as “a fun experience” that afforded him the opportunity to “meet people from different places.” He said he never intended to go into the Labor Zionist movement professionally.

Addressing the question of how the experience influenced him, Bloom said, “It’s all a tapestry, and it’s hard to figure out what fits where.”

He says Habonim infused him with values that influenced the way he views public service. “We sang the songs, but it wasn’t about that,” Bloom said. “It was a broader sense of identifying with the underdog, and of observing the world through a lens, through people who don’t have as much and aren’t as lucky.”

The Labor Zionist movement prides itself in its direct connection with union work and its ability to inspire leadership, said Kenneth Bob, the president of Ameinu, the Labor Zionist organization that provides funding to the Habonim Dror youth movement.

The new "manufacturing czar" Ron Bloom, spent the majority of his youth in a socialist summer camp. The most important part of the interview was this statement, “It was a broader sense of identifying with the underdog, and of observing the world through a lens, through people who don’t have as much and aren’t as lucky.”

To most people this means little, but to me it tells a great deal about who Ron Bloom is. Ron Bloom shows that he holds one of the most important beliefs, when it comes to socialism. Socialists teach us that those who have more, acquire more by chance, or exploitation, not by their own independent actions. Ron Bloom exemplifies his socialist upbringing with the use of the word "lucky". He talks of "underdogs" and those who are "lucky".

Considering Ron Bloom is not very ambiguous about his upbringing or his political beliefs it's plain to see; our new "manufacturing czar" is a socialist. I wonder if this is why Obama keeps circumventing The United States Constitution?

Apparently Obama did accidentally reveal his true beliefs when Joe The Plumber asked him a simple question about taxation.

Obama: "It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance at success, too… My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off [...] if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody."

Obama is not talking about a free market economy randomly "spreading the wealth around". Obama is referring to central planning. Socialism.
