I knew a long time ago that Jones was a serious player, who was going to be with us for the long haul, that's one of the reasons why this is being done.
Now, Nancy Pelosi has confirmed what I knew a year ago:
But as 3,000 Democrats met this weekend in San Diego for a three day convention here, Jones was lauded by Burton and Pelosi, who even described herself as “a fan” of Jones - a positive statement also once echoed by 2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman.
Here is how the source article itself opens:
Van Jones, the former Obama Administration green czar who resigned in controversy, appears on the fast track to a political comeback - emerging as a star at this weekend’s California Democratic convention and lauded by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as a “leader of the future.”
Wow. So one of America's two primary political parties is rallying around a known and self-admitted communist? Not Progressive, not Socialist. Communist. Radical, revolutionary, communist. Read his words!(or listen to them) One thing's clear, anybody who thinks their liberty is in danger is basing their belief in well grounded fact. Van Jones is not one who you want to just brush off. You need to take him seriously. They do.

Glenn Beck has documented Jones’ political aspirations for several YEARS. Jones is not to be ignored..
This is something I can neither prove nor disprove, I just find it too convenient to ignore. I came across something when I was doing some research regarding Woodrow Wilson and the Russian Revolution. The two parties at the time were the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, which (here's the part) means minimalist and maximalist, which I didn't know previously.
From dictionary.com:
Origin: 1905–10; in political use < French minimaliste ( see minimal, -ist), translation of Russian men'shevík Menshevik; subsequent uses perhaps recoinage with minimal, -ist
Seeing this made a light go off. At that moment, I remembered this piece of audio:
VAN JONES: One of the things that has happened too often to progressives is that we don't understand the relationship between minimum goals and maximum goals.
There's a lot in this audio beyond this one small piece, so it's easy to overlook the smaller things for the larger things - of which have been widely covered by others elsewhere. But I do not consider this to be a coincidence. Here we have a man who is so steeped in communist ideology, that he probably can't help but look at life through that lens. It has become totally embedded in his being.
Black Communists vs. White Conservatives = Race War/Civil War.
In the olde days...someone would have brought a gun to a knife fight.
No, no he should not be underestimated, nor should any other American communists be underestimated.
I would say, however, if one did want to underestimate something or someone, underestimate the GOP.
In fact, I really don’t think one could underestimate the GOP enough, as it will always find a way to slither lower than expected.
Well said re GOP
IMO, your posts should be mandatory reading for any conservative seeking to be politically astute.
