Van Jones...A Battle Won, Stay Focused On the War
I woke up this morning to the wonderful news that Van Jones, the radical, self-avowed communist, had resigned as "Green Jobs Czar" amid an outpouring of protest from Americans nationwide.
First and foremost, I am happy and relieved to see that our liberty, freedom of speech, and conservative values still carry weight in this rapidly declining democracy. Second, and more importantly in my opinion, it is important to not use this victory as an excuse to relax our efforts.
There are too many battles to be fought for anyone to rest now. Momentum is currently on our side and we must keep the troops focused on future battlefields like socialized healthcare, cap and trade, the other unvetted czars that have escaped scrutiny, namely FCC czar Mark Lloyd, who's words demonstrate that his sole mission is to quiet our voices...gee, I wonder why he would want to do that? It could be due to the fact that we are making a difference.
It is time to use the Van Jones victory as proof we can make a difference and momentum for these future engagements, not as a time to begin high-fiving each other, lest we be distracted and miss something the statists attempt to slip by us in the night.

Wow! Van Jones Produces Anti-American Music As Well!!
The hits just keep on coming for Van Jones. Now uncovered by http://www.verumserum.com/, is an anti-war, anti-American record which his organization sponsored and he is featured on. Below is an excerpt of an interview where he mentions the record:
Jones: We've been applying a concept borrowed from South Africa: "Govern from below." We take high school students and college-age people who've decided they don't care about anything and put them through workshops and educational programs so they can become advocates for themselves. We have a reputation for showing up with several dozen young people at city government meetings and turning the mic over to these young people, who then use hip-hop and poetry to describe the conditions they'd like to see changed in their community.
Marable: What's the general reaction?
Jones: Policymakers are usually blown away by the passion and creativity, but also by the pain these young people are speaking about. We've shown we can win reform, not because I have a law degree, but because dozens of young people have truth on their side and can speak it.
Marable: A lot of this is about mass disfranchisement. Anywhere from one-third to half of all adults who are black are not even in the paid labor force. In communities like Harlem, the largest employer is the fast-food industry. The older civil rights leadership, with a few notable exceptions such as Julian Bond, has not yet effectively spoken to new realities that are destroying an entire generation of young black women and men. Not fully and not effectively. That's why I'm so hopeful about this new generation emerging, like Jeff Johnson of the youth division of NAACP. It's this kind of leadership we desperately need to solve the new problems of the neo-political liberal age.
Jones: Amen. When we talk about neo-liberalism, essentially we have a system where there are no rules for the rich and no rights for the poor. Politics of liberation in the new century that [exists] in terms of integration vs. segregation is anachronistic. It has little to do with what's happening today. So we raise new slogans: "schools, not jails"; "books, not bars"; "jobs, not jails." Whereas people in the '60s were protesting on campuses, we have a generation of blacks and Latinos protesting for their rights to get on campuses and have the opportunity to learn. The dynamic is very different. The people we see on a daily basis, when they go to high school the police cars are already there, because they are stationed there. If they get into a push-and-shove match in the hallway, they don't go to the principal's office, they go to the precinct in handcuffs. That's the reality were dealing with: over-policing, overincarceration. Our job is to say, 'Look, we want safe communities.' And the safest communities are not the ones with the most police. The safest communities are the ones with the best jobs and education. We want what works in the suburbs. We want that for our communities. It's a very different fight. At the same time it's a continuation of the fight that started years ago.
Marable: That's right. Every generation must find its own voice and use culture in creative ways to speak to the new realities. In the 1960s you had the Freedom Singers of SNCC. You had [anthemic] songs such as "We Shall Overcome", and now the 21st-century hip-hop generation increasingly uses the most progressive currents as a way of interrogating and challenging the prison-industrial complex, and structural racism, discrimination based on gender, race, class, sexual orientation. [I understand you have] developed a record label, Freedom Fighter Music.
Jones: Yes, we've had one for a little more than a year. Our second CD is coming out this year.
This is an excerpt from an interview from USA Today http://www.usaweekend.com/03_issues/030209/030209BHM-criminal.html
The CD Jones speaks of contains the below music (if you want to call it that) and is titled, "Wartimes:Reports from the Opposition. Ensure all of the kiddies are out of the room when you listen to this, it is most certainly not a family friendly song. Not only was Van Jones the founder/director of the organization which sponsored this record, he is actually featured on this track, with his portion starting at around 3:45 of the Anti-American rant. Thanks to http://www.verumserum.com/ for uncovering yet another example of why Van Jones has no business working for the government in any capacity, much less advising the President of the United States.

GLENN BECK MUST SEE VIDEO ON VAN JONES
As mentioned in my last article about the disturbing appointment of "Czars" by President Obama which face no confirmation by the senate, Glenn Beck's show has done a great job in exposing this movement and focusing on many of the so-called "Czars" and their radical pasts. No biography is more disturbing than the "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones.
Glenn Beck did such a good job of exposing this radical that Mr. Jones has now launched his own mission to destroy Glenn Beck and his show. Jones has launched an intimidation campaign aimed at any business that buys advertising time on Beck's show, and unfortunately has been quite successful so far. He has been able convince more than 30 of Beck's advertisers to cancel their sponsorship. I have listed some below but everyone who wants to support Glenn Beck needs to go to http://www.supportglennbeck.com/ where they can easily send letters to all of these spineless companies who have allowed themselves to be pushed around by the radical leftist group "Color of Change" and Van Jones.

TAKEOVER OF THE "CZARS"
In the news lately we here the term “czar” being mentioned more and more frequently. Many Americans may think this just a cute title for another President Obama appointee, but when you delve into the issue a little deeper the concept becomes at a minimum, troubling.
There are currently (15) cabinet members appointed by the President and they are basically Department Heads who report to and advise the President regarding their respective departments. In addition to being appointed by the President, prospective cabinet members must be confirmed by the Senate. This is an important step in the process of maintaining the “balance of power” which is so necessary to maintain democracy. Without the confirmation, the President would have the unchecked ability to execute an incredible amount of control over these Departments. The confirmation process helps to further identify just who the individuals are that the President is appointing.
Many potential cabinet members have fallen by the wayside over the years as a result of this important process.
Zoe Baird was nominated for Attorney General under the Clinton administration. She was forced to withdraw after it was discovered she was employing illegal aliens and not paying social security taxes on their services. Oh, the irony!
Bernard Kerik was nominated by George W. Bush as Secretary of Homeland Security, but also was forced to withdraw over employing illegal immigrants. Kerik has been the subject of numerous investigations since then, and was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and lying to the Internal revenue Service in 2007.
The above examples help to demonstrate the importance of the confirmation process in helping to eliminate unqualified or unseemly candidates. Unfortunately, it is becoming apparent that our sitting President has found his own little loophole to this process. To date, Barack Obama has appointed almost three dozen “Czars” in various departments from overseeing the closing of Guantanamo Bay, to overseeing the massive government spending of the failed stimulus package. That is a lot of power for individuals to wield, many of which face no confirmation from the senate. That is correct!! Basically, President Obama has created additional cabinet positions without titling them as such, and has avoided that pesky confirmation process which would further examine these appointees past indiscretions and qualifications to execute such power over our nation. Am I just being a biased “fringe” conservative, as we seem to have been labeled as of late? Let’s look at what Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat-W. Va, said in a letter to President Obama regarding these Czars:
“The accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances” and…
“As Presidential assistants and advisors, these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, and to virtually anyone but the President. In too many instances, White House staff have been allowed to inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability.”
His own party is disturbed by the President’s growing staff and the lack of oversight Congress has over them.
If you begin to do your own investigation of some of President Obama’s appointments, you will become even more disturbed by what you find. You don’t even have to dig deep on the appointment of Van Jones as Green Jobs Czar. Van Jones is a self-proclaimed communist and worked with a group named STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement). After reviewing the above examples of individuals who were forced to withdraw their nominations, how far do we think Mr. Jones would have gotten in the process with this on his resume?
Let’s put it all in perspective. Since his election, President Barack Obama has instituted government control over the automobile industry, the banking industry, and coming soon to your neighborhood, the healthcare industry. He is slowing building a crew of “Czars” who he needs no approval to hire, and answer only to him. Hmmmm…maybe we should have looked into that Barack Obama-William Ayers connection in a little more detail last year.
