The Island of Logic

Barack Obama’s true colors have come on full display this year.  The decision to bring Van Jones on board as the “Green Czar” is downright scary.  Looking at Mr. Jones’s history should be of interest to all American citizens.  He was a declared “communist” in the 1990’s.  He’s a believer in Black Liberation Theology which is a mixture of Marxism and the gospel.  This combination of unity is supposed to liberate African-Americans.  How can Marxism/communism be held in high regard when those systems have a solid history of mediocre to all-out failure outcomes?   Pure government control and few liberties is about as backward and anti-American as it gets.  Yet Obama keeps on stacking Czars to control society.  Czars don’t get properly examined by congress or the American people.  It’s for this reason that we get little news from them.  But Van Jones has caused quite a stir since coming on board.  Earlier this year, he called republicans “a**holes” while answering a political question at a speech.  It’s crystal clear that he opposes republican views with venom.  If that isn’t enough, he also signed a “truther” petition to investigate whether government was behind the 9/11 bombings.  He later backtracked saying he didn’t read the petition carefully enough.  Right!  He’s called U.S. prisons “slave ships on dry land”.  He plays the “racist card” as well as any mainstream democrat today because he knows he can get away with it.  How can the president of the United States stick by a man like this?  “Google” or “YouTube” Van Jones and you will find speeches that will make you scratch your head. 

What I find most scary about Mr. Jones is communist rhetoric.  He wants to destroy “suicidal gray capitalism” and “redistribute all wealth” calling it “eco-capitalism” in the name of green jobs.    His position as the Green Czar is a front to create a new massive welfare program.  He will punish and take away competition from the private sector and help whoever he deems appropriate.  Taking money from the productive part of society and spending it as he chooses will lead to misallocated investments.  He also doesn’t just want to help the poor, he wants to help felons.  The way Van Jones thinks, white people have created most of the problems for society.  This type of thinking is very dangerous.  I will ask this question one more time, why did President Obama pick this man?  It’s my conclusion that Obama is a Marxist.  None of this should come as a surprise.  In 2007, according to the non-partisan National Journal, the President was the MOST liberal senator.  Obama’s views are right in line with Van Jones and Jeremiah Wright.  Americans need to wake up and acknowledge that voting for Obama means voting for everything this country stands against.  Read between the lines of his articulate rhetoric and start reading economic history on communism.  Good luck finding a pleasant outcome. (Sunday morning, one day after writing this, it seems that Mr. Jones has stepped down from his newly appointed post amid controversy) GOOD RIDDANCE!
