Why the attempted insults?
Science Czar - John Holdren
Title: Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology
Salary: unknown
Reports to: President Obama
Appointed: December 2008
Confirmed by Senate: March 19, 2009
Agency or department that might have handled similar issues: Energy
• Top adviser to Obama on science and technology, issues that are increasingly relevant to other issues such as homeland security, energy and environmentalism
• Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy and Director, Program in Science, Technology, and Public Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government (1996-2009); Harvard University Professor of Environmental Science and Public Policy (1996-2009); University of California, Berkeley Professor of Energy and Resources Emeritus (1996 to present)
• Studied aerospace engineering and plasma physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — where he earned his BS and MS — and Stanford University, where he received his doctorate in 1970
• Is an outspoken advocate of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and believes the United States should sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty.
• In a 2008 New York Times op-ed, Holdren called climate change skeptics “dangerous” members of a “denier fringe.”
• In 1971, co-authored a paper in Global Ecology suggesting "some form of ecocatastrophe, if not thermonuclear war, seems almost certain to overtake us before the end of the century."
• Some conservative media outlets have called attention to a book Holdren co-authored in 1977 titled Ecoscience: Population, Resources, and Environment. The book reportedly includes this statement: "population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution." Holdren's office says he "does not now and never has been an advocate of compulsory abortions or other repressive measures to limit fertility."

My post was on topic and it was received with attempted insults by the OP poster.
Attempted?
Originally posted by utherpendragonI am not sensitive. I am baffled that you think your tongue in cheek stuff has any humour value or whether it makes for a worthwhile thread or forum. I raised the issue of why you want everybody to "talk" about Obama's "marxist" advisers and "terrorist" advisers, when quite clearly hardly anybody here does.
All tongue and cheek. Stop being so sensitive.

Your post was on topic?
No. It was an attempt to derail the thread from the topic.
It was hostile in nature and was basically telling me to shut up.
This is what you said,Why don't we just leave thinking about that fact to you?
So go creep back over to the culture forum or where ever it is you have been lurking.

Originally posted by utherpendragonTelling you to shut up? Er. No. What it meant was: why is it that it's only angry people on the far right who talk in terms of Obama's "marxists" and "terrorists"? Why are no ordinary politically literate moderate Americans interested in this stuff when you talk about it?

I have already showed in another thread that the left wing american loons here are not represenative of my country.
Now please stay on topic or if you do not like this thread titled CZARS step off! Its really quite simple.
Now back on topic....Obama surrounding himself with self avowed communist is really alarming.Appointing him (Van Jones ) as the green czar is even more so.
