Unless the current military has done a COMPLETE 180 since I left, I doubt that the majority support the Left. Police may belong to unions, but that doesn’t make them all Obots.

Van Jones to keynote environmental film festival in Madison
by Staff
March 21, 2012

MADISON — Green jobs advocate Van Jones, president and co-founder of the economic reform organization Rebuild the Dream, will deliver the keynote address for the Tales from Planet Earth film festival at the Barrymore Theater, 2090 Atwood Ave. in Madison on Monday, March 26.

In addition to Rebuild the Dream, Jones has co-founded three other organizations: the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights; Color of Change; and Green For All. He also holds an appointment as a distinguished visiting fellow at Princeton University and served as a green jobs advisor to President Obama.

Jones’s keynote speech will highlight themes woven through the environmental film festival, including the promise of a greener economy and the roots of some of Wisconsin’s current labor issues.

“Our festival uses the storytelling power of films to see the environment in new, unexpected ways,” says Nelson Institute Interim Director Gregg Mitman, the festival founder and curator. “The environmental movement is made up of many diverse strands, and has increasingly come to embrace issues of inequality, social justice, and the places where people live, work, and play.”

Hawaii Could Be First in Nation to Establish ‘Clean Economy Bank’ For Energy
By Sophie Cocke 03/20/2012

President Barack Obama pushed for a national version of it back in 2008, but it went nowhere.

Now, Hawaii is considering the creation of a “clean economy bank.” And it’s attracted the attention of Obama’s former green energy czar.

Van Jones, who oversaw $80 billion in green recovery spending for the Obama administration in 2009, was in Honolulu Tuesday and testified in favor of House Bill 1033 before the Senate Energy and Environment Committee, calling it a “path-breaking proposal.”

The bank would allow clean energy companies to take out low interest loans. And the revenue generated would go back to the state, as opposed to being retained by private banks, supporters say. Start-up funding could come from more than $10 million in federal stimulus money for energy projects that the state has yet to disburse.

Unreal ...

The victimology successor to Jesse and Al is building
his constituency in the next generation.

I want to see these people banished .. shunned by
society for their hateful and perverse indoctrination.
They thrive and make their fortunes off the suffering
and ignorance of their targets. Damn them all.

Where? Here’s my $10 toward a cattle car for him and his scummy, racist, hate-America ilk.

Let's load up an old cargo ship and invite them to a coral reef cruise. Tell them they would be helping the eviornment by seeding a new coral reef. Sink the ship there with everyone on board. Think of the good the people would be participating in as the sea welcomed the growth and nutrition of liberals and their artificial structure.

Someday (assuming the whole globul warming thing has been "conquered") in about 250 years, those liberal's great, great, great grandkids will be able to visit that reef and tell their liberal children kids their ancestors created life in the ocean and thereby all the life on earth.
