The preamble to the Constitution gives the reason for forming a completely new government that will be “a more perfect union” than the current government that was outlined in the Articles of Confederation.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Van Jones states in the video below that we must continue to strive to perfect our union in each generation. We will achieve this “perfection” when we have social justice in the United States. We should consider Mr. Jones’ statement “we are all born ignorant” in a different context. We are all be born with the same level of knowledge but we have our individual capacities to become educated to succeed in varying degrees in our lives; we cannot force mediocrity on our people in the name of social justice. Mr. Jones is advocating a more perfect union through Communism.
We are seeing the outcome dictated by social engineering started by the progressive movement in the early 20th century. Mr. Jones may “feel” that forced equally is a more perfect union, but I “think” that competition and hard work have built the greatest nation in the history of the world. The erosion of competition through government regulation, the second highest corporate tax rate in the world and an increasing powerful union stranglehold on industry has given us a U6 unemployment rate of 16.7%.

1. elect Barack Obama as president
2. then sit back and watch
Someone needs to ask Van Jones to take a trip to Russia to observe the equality which he proposes. They created social justice in 1917 and look at their progress!
China, social justice at work ~ hell, all he has to move!
And through all that drivel, you can hear the sound of those self-proclaimed brilliant genius independents moving toward the president once again because of all the brilliant oratory in the last speech and the even more brilliant oratory about to take place in the state-of-the-union address.
Ah yes, it’s wonderful to have all those brilliant socialist geniuses being called brilliant socialist geniuses by all those other brilliant socialist geniuses in the press who consider conservatives to be knuckle-dragging morons
IMHO.
sorry, “all he has to do is move”
You ever notice that these “geniuses” never get around to explaining how they’re going to stir revolution in flyover country?
The flyover country presents real problems that they really don’t know how to deal with. After all, how do you use a man who doesn’t care if his neighbors are wealthier than he is?
They model their fantasies of revolution on Europe and Asia and we ain’t either.
Every Word comming from the Marxist Mouth of Van Jones is...
“Shovel Ready”
The “union” was the union of states.
“You ever notice that these “geniuses” never get around to explaining how they’re going to stir revolution in flyover country?”
No, they dont, but it’s consistent with the abject shallowness of (the rest of) their thinking. They don’t worry about such things because they regard “the great unwashed” in flyover country as insignificant, ignorant, lucky to have them (the intellectual elite) as their saviors, and ready to switch allegiances if and when their liberal message finally hits home. As you say, theirs is the politics of envy. There’s nothing to envy in the midwest, all that wholesomeness is so passe, trite, and corny. No, what everybody wants is the great wealth & privelege of Wall St and the East.

“Someone needs to ask Van Jones to take a trip to Russia to observe the equality which he proposes.”
Wouldn’t work...the justice applies only to the little people, not to him.
“The flyover country presents real problems....for their revolution.”
There are lots of real geniuses in flyover country; they are American geniuses without pretention, arrogance, hubris and ignorance soaking them to the skin.
It is hoped that arrogant Liberal/Progressive scu*bags will be sent home to stew in their future electoral losses. But, if there are too many “brilliant Independents” in flyover country, such a delightful scenario is fleeting.
In any event, hats off to those independent souls in the midwest who will not swallow the Progressive line.
IMHO
