You're exactly right that it shows the power of philosophy: who else would be willing to take a position called "climate change czar" except a socialist? @Burgess: I always thought Bush was a pretty clear-cut altruism/statism horror show, but it's obvious that we Objectivists were alone in that clarity. @Harold: I am not surprised by this in the least.

I'm not. Reminds me of Myrhaf's post, "The Power of Philosophy". The only thing more ridiculous are the comments on the Washington Times article. Is anyone surprised by this? I’m not.

However, more and more for the next four years I see great opportunities for advancing objective principles of politics and ethics, as well as their base in reason. The Obama administration is a very simple and clear target. Much better to fire at it than at the thoroughly dishonest George (I dumped capitalism to save capitalism) Bush brigade. Thank you for highlighting another act in the Obama circus. The Obama administration will bring great destruction of objective values–just as the latest Bush administration did.

She got valuable policy making experience, they say, so it doesn't matter that she joined a group of America-hating socialists.
