Sounds crazy? It is! What else to you expect from PETA?

I was watching the Glenn Beck show and he was describing how Barack Obama’s pick for “regulatory czar” Harvard Law School Professor Cass Sunstein wants to give animals human rights and let them hire lawyers? Who is going to pay for these lawyers? Do you get a public defender?

Exposed: The Secret Animal Rights Agenda Of America’s Next Regulatory Czar

Barack Obama’s pick for “regulatory czar,” Harvard Law School Professor Cass Sunstein, may be the incoming president’s most popular appointment so far. Judging from his resume -- best-selling author, “pre-eminent legal scholar of our time,” and an endorsement from The Wall Street Journal -- we can almost understand why. Almost. Because as we’re telling the media today, there’s one troubling portion of the new Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) Administrator’s C.V. that has seems to have flown under everyone’s radar: Cass Sunstein is a radical animal rights activist.

Don’t believe us? Sunstein has made no secret of his devotion to the cause of establishing legal “rights” for livestock, wildlife, and pets. “[T]here should be extensive regulation of the use of animals in entertainment, scientific experiments, and agriculture,” Sunstein wrote in a 2002 working paper while at the University of Chicago Law school.

“Extensive regulation of the use of animals.” That's PETA-speak for using government to get everything PETA and the Humane Society of the United States can't get through gentle pressure or not-so-gentle coercion. Not exactly the kind of thing American ranchers, restaurateurs, hunters, and biomedical researchers (to say nothing of ordinary consumers) would like to hear from their next “regulatory czar.”

A version of the same paper also appeared as the introduction to Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions, a 2004 book that Sunstein co-edited with then-girlfriend Martha Nussbaum. In that book, Sunstein set out an ambitious plan to give animals the legal “right” to file lawsuits. We're not joking:

“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.”

Didn't walk fluffy enough today? She can sue you. Wrong cat food? That's actionable, too. Want to sue McDonald's for selling beef? Go ahead, the president is behind you. It doesn't end there:

Sunstein delivered a keynote speech at Harvard University’s 2007 “Facing Animals” conference. (Click here to watch the video; his speech starts around 39:00.) Keep in mind that as OIRA Administrator, Sunstein will have the political authority to implement a massive federal government overhaul. Consider this tidbit:

“We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It’s time now.”

He wants to ban hunting, too. Now I'm steamed.

Sunstein also argued in favor of “eliminating current practices such as greyhound racing, cosmetic testing, and meat eating, most controversially.”

He concluded his Harvard speech by expressing his “more ambitious animating concern” that the current treatment of livestock and other animals should be considered “a form of unconscionable barbarity not the same as, but in many ways morally akin to, slavery and mass extermination of human beings.” Sound familiar?

As the individual about to assume “the most important position that Americans know nothing about,” Sunstein owes the public an honest appraisal of his animal rights goals before taking office. Will the next four years be a dream-come-true for anti-meat, anti-hunting, and anti-everything-else radicals? Time will tell. For now, meat lovers might want to stock their freezers.

They want to force everyone to become vegitarians!! That's impossible, unrealistic, and will never happen. How can our president even consider this guy for regulatory CZAR? I would have nominated Rev. Jim Osborne.

Everybody should send O'Bama an email and tell him how you feel about a nice thick hand selected 8 oz fillet steak from the local butcher or an extra layer of bacon with your bacon double cheeseburger.

Maybe we should organize a million man BBQ on the White House lawn. No one, even a vegetarian, can resist the smell of a good BBQ.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

"Vegetarian" is injun speak for "bad hunter."

[James Hutchins]

“We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It’s time now.”

I have to say, I agree, Killing for no reason is pointless. I hunt, I eat what I kill and use 100% of the animal. I never kill just for the sake of killing, that is wrong because it is wasteful. I use this targets instead for practice.


I just have a messican or darkie hold it and go running in the woods.

[Buford T Scoggins]

Actually, I'm a little surprised by this. Didn't Obama hunt with spears when he was growing up in that cannibal village in Africa?

yours in Christ,
Brother Buford

[Rev. Jim Osborne]

Thank you for the recognition, Brother Nobar. I am sure I could do a better job than this clown. What I don't get is how could an animal sue someone, even with human representation? Is there some Dog-to-English dictionary I missed at the library? Skilled translators can understand Barkese and hear Fido saying "My owner gave me bad dog food and I got diarrhea. I want to sue him."

What about animals that really don't "speak" at all? Can a snake sue a snake charmer for making him do things against his will? Will mules sue the Grand Canyon tour guides for making them work for below minimum wage? "My client, Bubba the Mule is claiming that carrots and hay do not constitute enough for the $6.00 minimum wage pay dictated by Arizona state law."

What kind of retarded world do we live in? Please Jesus let there be a nuclear war and come back and take us Christians away.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Well this doesn't surprise me. Obama and his tribe have expressed an open admiration for all things European and Godless (which is the same thing). It's all about special rights for everyone except White Republican Male Christians. Pretty soon a cheeseburger will have more rights than True Christians™ do.

How long will it be before we start granting plants special rights, like the Swedes do?

My prophecies are indeed coming true day after day! Everyday I read online or in the paper about animal attacks, not the wild animals mind you, but normal, friendly animals just going berserk! A while ago a gorilla escaped from a Carolina zoo and attacked a worker...no doubt gorilla was receiving information from North Dakotan telephone towers telling him to act on his rage. Just recently, a baby was dragged off by a family dog.

Now we have evidence that "humans" are advocating extreme animal rights then this. I used the quotations marks because this entity by the name of "Cass Sunstein" is quite likely a manchurian-candidate replicant working for the Robo-Animal Alliance.

Robo-Animal alliance. A sordid venture between robots and animals to destroy humans. Funny you think? You won't be laughing when great white sharks come out of the water and use jet packs to fly through the air and hunt you down! No, indeed my prophecies are ringing true! Spaceship Jesus told me in 1974 that robots and animals have joined up to conquer humans. They are natural allies. Animals are beneath us and subordinate, as well as robots. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence has caused robots to mastermind projects and use animals for their benefit.

No doubt Cass Sunstein is simply a tool for this sinister cabal. On December 21, 2012 the worldwide network of manchurian candidate robots and animals will be ACTIVATED and that is when all robots and animals will turn on humans! Mark my words! We are seeing "false starts" in these days before 2012. This explains the increase of animal attacks. ROBOTS CONTROL ANIMALS.

Robots secretely installed internal microchips in wild animals brains to control them. Bears can now talk through each other via electronic telepathy, not of the psychic variety but one that converts brain waves to digital signal and sends it to other bears. ELECTRONIC TELEPATHY WILL DESTROY US. Wait until 12/21/2012 when a massive APB sends its way through all telepathic networks: DESTROY ALL HUMANS!!!!!

[James Hutchins]

One of my dogs tries to sue it'll be "What's for Dinner and a new hat". Failling that, there are always hunting or combine accidents.

[H. Montague Worthington]

Obama and his cronies won't be happy until we're all broke, unarmed, and being eaten by bears.

[ownerofconfedchick]

How deranged this Country is becoming.
I wonder if this joo knows the PETA weirdos are on the FBI domestic terrorist list.

As far as animal rights go, they have the right to be on my plate alongside the potatoes and veggies. The more vegan nutcases there are means more steak and burgers for me and confedchick!

Osamabama is taking our great Country down to depths of Godlessness
never seen before.

Pray with me Brothers to help heal this Country and get it back to good White Republican leadership!!
