On Friday night, Mr. Jones, once a “green jobs” adviser to President Obama, was in Los Angeles to accept the President’s Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for his work promoting a green economy.
In his acceptance speech, televised live on local Fox stations, Mr. Jones had words for his “fellow countryman, Glenn Beck.”
“I see you, and I love you, brother,” Mr. Jones said. “I love you and you cannot do anything about it. I love you and you cannot do anything about it. Let’s be one country. Let’s be one country. Let’s get the job done.”
He also gave a “shout out and salute” to Mr. Obama, describing the president as “a world-class leader” who “volunteered to be the captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.”
He added, “And we’re still floating.”
Oh, we’re floating alright. Straight into an iceberg.

Yeah, sure thing Van. The self avowed communist preaching we should be one country? And just what kind of country is Van thinking? I bet he catches Glenn’s radio show, but does he know that there is the internet and cable news?

I guess Mr. Jones has not been out in the real world much lately. The green economy is something this country will miss out on. The Chinese control manufacturing world wide and have said this is their market.

Hello and Greetings from Cincinnati, Ohio,
Just came across this site and I will be posting on here regularly. These are great times my fellow conservatives. History is being made and we are the catalyst for this history. The entire country is being hood-winked by our Thug-in-Chief, and the conservative movement exposes the lies, deceit, deception, fraud, and chicanery this administration is peddling. The Democrats are on the way out for at least the next 30+ years and they know it. All they can do now is spew lies, and smear anyone who gets in their way. The American people (the ones who have the ability for critical thinking) are rising up and will continue to do so until all of those responsible for the most massive fraud in U.S. history are in jail. I have no sympathy for the GOP either. The entire Congress is at fault for participating in the back room deals and shady negotiations. It took less than a month for Scott Brown to compromise the principles he was elected on.
I think a stupid, unshaven, homeless, gutless, guttersnipe could be a better representative than the corrupt weasels that are in office now. 2010 will be the year the crooks, thugs, and liars never forget. This midterm election will be historic and I will be gloating in the wings.
2012 will be magnificent.

The only reason Van Jones and 0bama are ‘still floating’ is because they got into the last of the Titanic’s lifeboats by dressing up as women or children…..
