Obama czar : U.S. was 'apartheid regime'

TEL AVIV – The U.S. was an "apartheid regime" that civil rights workers helped turn into a "struggling, fledgling democracy," according to President Obama's controversial environmental adviser, Van Jones.

In a video screened by WND, Jones also called for a new "theology of resistance" and "theology of liberation" aimed at transforming American society.

Jones was speaking at the July 2005 Conference on Spiritual Activism in Berkeley, Calif., organized by radical activist Michael Lerner, the founding editor of the far-left magazine Tikkun.

Stated Jones: "We forget sometimes that the people who poured out their blood on the ground in this country, to turn an apartheid regime into a struggling, fledgling democracy, the so-called civil rights workers, when they went to face the dogs, when they went to face the fire hoses, when they sat shivering in cold jail cells soaked in blood, when they faced lynch mobs, when they found their children shot down in the street, they didn't march at laundromats , they didn't march at high school gymnasiums.

They marched out of church houses ... that was a great moment for progressive leftists," he said.

At the conference, Jones, speaking on the theme of transforming American society, called for a "new myth, we need a new theology of resistance, we need a new theology of liberation rooted in another part of the book."

"Obama was in the Church, but he wasn’t listening."

"He hired this Czar, but he didn’t know him."

Is this guy on crack? Why so much venom?

Jones is no fool. Like anyone who makes a good living on the speaker circuit, he's catering to his audience, giving them what they want to hear.

If he is forced out, he will be like Ward Churchill, another rabid lefty hero who will pull in big lecture fees presenting himself as a victim.

Where are the Republicans? The only people talking about this nut case is the blogs and Fox News.

" Obama was in the Church, but he wasn’t listening.

He hired this Czar, but he didn’t know him. "

Bill Clinton : " I smoked marijuana , but didn't inhale "

Bill Clinton while looking in the camera and pointing his finger " I didn't have sex with that woman "

This goof needs to resign. He is destroying 50 years of race relations building in the USA. When this is over, it will be like 1936 in America again. Whites and blacks are getting very angry and this racism is intentional. The communists want us to square off... Better that blacks and whites unite to destroy the Left before the Left destroys the blacks. Fodder in the great struggle between labor and capital. As usual, blacks are the pawns...

Yep. Obama is screwing up so monumentally he is single-handedly setting back the civil rights movement by decades.

Formerly color-blind men and women are suddenly taking note of all this angry, divisive, seditious rhetoric.

And the entire country suffers.

“Spiritual Activism”

The only spirit activating the Left is the spirit of evil.
