Van Jones was Just the Start: Now we Need a "Yekaterinburg" of ALL the Czars (Britain)

Hmm. I wonder which of the many glorious aspects of Mother Gaia it was that first attracted President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones to the environmental movement. Was it, perhaps, his love of fluffy bunnies - especially those ones with the long floppy ears and the sweet pink noses? Was it the sight of the mighty redwoods in Northern California or the sea otters frolicking amid the kelp off Big Sur or the manatees basking so cutely amid the shimmering propellors of the Everglades?

You named it. It's yours! Congrats!

Between your "Czar Wars" and my "VJ-Day", we got a real operation going here...

Excellent article! Particularly this part...
“Green jobs are not economic jobs but political jobs, designed to funnel vast sums of taxpayer money to left-wing labor unions, environmental groups, and social justice community organizers.”

"Van Jones, in other words, was and is a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside."

Always a Brit. Our press is too far in the tank for 0bama and the Reds. Hey! that reads like a satirical rock group name.

The lessons of history are as the leaves of autumn, forever doomed to the lashing winds of winter-silenced frost turned loose by spring’s vengeful rain.

That is correct. He did.

Then there is that other nutcase that thinks that animals should be able to sue human beings in the United States. Crackpot professor out of University of Chicago and Harvard U.

We gotta line em up. Knock em down one by one!

If I am not mistaken I first read Mark Steyn in the Telegraph when I was over in “Jolly Old” as the war against Saddam was approaching.

This is a GREAT article. Explains a lot of what is behind the “green” movement in government.
