Green Jobs Czar not sure what “green jobs” are
NewsReal ^ | July 31n 2009 | Kathy Shaidle

FOX News’ Sean Hannity recently looked at a recent interview Newsweek magazine conducted with Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” Van Jones.

Jones, a self-described former communist who was arrested and briefly detained during the Rodney King riots, was interviewed by Newsweek’s Daniel Stone for a July 28, 2009 web-only story. (Snip) Jones tells Newsweek that the real problem is that no one in authority can agree about just what a “green job” actually is

Presumably Jones' communist background qualifies him to pontificate about job-creation.

And yet, Barry knows a “green job” created when he sees one, huh?

A “green job” is one that can be performed by a “community organizer” or an “environmental advocate” or even a “Berkeley tree sitter,” but not by a scientist or an engineer or even a construction foreman.

Automotive jobs make cars.

Information Technology jobs make computer stuff.

Financial jobs make capital.

Green jobs make ..... green?

>>>> WTH IS GOING ON IN AMERICA! <<<<<

Well for one thing the Mainstream Media and the United States Congress are both at war with the American people.

Beyond that I’m not sure.

I just happened to see this posted by wolfcreek on the TX message board.

Carbon capture;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_capture_and_storage

Willie, I have a problem with this beyond the stupid Left’s *green* idea.

Looking at the chart on your website regarding the *natural* carbon cycle, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_cycle) seems to me they might be doing more harm than good. (screwing with the cycle)

They start forcing carbon gases into the ground, it might unleash the other gases (methane, other CO2, etc.) into the atmosphere, killing us all.

How does one become a “former” communist?

Is that similar to Robert Byrd being a former KKK member?

Well, that message was the one that popped up when I got back on earlier and this was the first thread on top. I saw who you were “arguing” with and I really don’t post much on the TX board.

Yeh, I’ve already gotten into it with Willie. I was actually not arguing this time just adding some thoughts.

You should post more on the Texas forum. Too many Houstonite issues on there but, it’s easier to get the word out for local/state stuff.

‘Van’ is not his real first name. He changed it sometime back because he thought that ‘Van’ sounded more hi-tone than his given name.

Cool, huh? Just the kind of clown you want to administer a multi-billion dollar program.

But that’s our Obama...

“Green Jobs Czar not sure what “green jobs” are”

Sometimes I think an insanity epidemic has taken over our government.

How about changing anti-freeze in cars?

Or -

Anti-Freeze recipe
Scale ingredients to servings
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz green creme de menthe

Pour above ingredients into a stainless steel shaker over ice. Shake until ice cold, strain into a large shot glass, and serve.
