Van Jones: Death to the 'great white suburbs'

In a speech with racist overtones given at the Hawaii Capitol Tuesday evening attended by Governor Neil Abercrombie (D), former Obama appointee Anthony K. "Van" Jones spoke at a rally to promote so-called economic justice and fairness by legislating a green energy State Partnership Bank about his being glad that (according to Jones) the'great white suburbs' of the American dream are 'dying.'

In his keynote, Jones did not directly address the bank legislation or other legislation pending in Hawaii. Instead he spoke of the dream being “under threat.”

“Not the American dream they talk about on TV,” Jones said. “There are two American dreams. One of them I call the ‘American fantasy.’ You know that one? Everyone is going to be rich. Everybody. And we're all going to be able to ride out to the great white suburbs, get a McMansion, get flat-screened TV to cover up the holes in our lives. That is the American fantasy, which is turning out to be the American nightmare. It is dying out on its own accord - it deserves no defense and it will get no defense. I am glad that is going away. That was not serving anybody.”

Since being forced out of the Obama administration in 2009 after his radical leftist politics were exposed, Jones has tried to portray himself as a 'happy warrior', even going so far as to tell his nemesis Glenn Beck, whose reports on his then Fox News Channel show publicized Jones' radicalism, that he loved Beck.

At his speech in Hawaii, Jones' happy warrior facade fell as he addressed his fellow radicals, accusing his political opponents of being bigots who 'hate' and 'despise' their fellow Americans:

“I was there for 6 months. Best 6 months of my life, followed by the worst two weeks. ... What I saw there is why I am here today. I saw some of the most beautiful people, some of the most well intentioned people, some of the smartest people ever to serve in our government, be stopped in their tracks, stopped in their tracks, by people who mean us no good. People who claim to be patriots but seem to hate everybody in America.”

“That always struck me as strange. When I said I love America, I mean I actually love the people in America - the people who live in America. Some of them are brown, some of them are female, some of them are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, some of them have bizarre piercings and tattoos, but I love them. How can you say you love America but then despise most of the people who live here. I don't understand that politics. I don't understand how you can say you love America and love the Statute of Liberty, but then not read the poem at the bottom that says "Give me your tired, Give me your poor, Give me your huddled masses who yearn to breathe free." The way I was raised. You can't be an anti immigrant bigot and a patriot at the same time. They don't go together. They don't go together. Not in my America. They don't go together.”

Ten-and-a-half years ago Jones organized a rally the day after the September 11 terror attacks where Jones and other speakers cheered the attacks that killed nearly 3000 Americans and foreigners on American soil.

Van Jones to keynote environmental film festival in Madison

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.

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.
