Real Clear Politics ^ | September 4, 2009 | Real Clear Politics

Van 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."

That Jones guy’s a piece of work.

Conservatives warned the nation about the type of people that attract 0bama. We were told, “oh, it’ll be fine... he’ll govern from the center.”

Another sterling example of why race relations can’t improve in our country. Keeping Americans at each other’s throats is simply too lucrative for too many opportunistic demagogues.

It is interesting how the Civil War has utterly vanished from references to American history. Maybe it does not fit the narrative.

Unfortunately I don't think that most of them feel stupid. I think that most of them are in denial. It will take something of catastrophic proportions to awake them from their stupor.

Teachers, firefighters, union deadasses, government workers....

They were just voting for their entitlement packages.

They aren’t going to admit they were wrong.

We’ve crossed a critical line toward socialism in this country.

I watched the whole clip (gag). “Opportunistic demagogue” fits this snake to a tee. He speaks to the mob as they were children at a puppet play. Don’t think don’t analyze, just follow and you will benefit. The left wants mob action as free people finding their own destiny and riches is not part of the statist future.

Mr. Jones. We forget sometimes that the so-called civil rights workers were for the most part Republicans from northern states, and the lynch mobs were Democrats.

The Communist template for South Africa is being applied in the “change.”

Is it wishful thinking, delusion, media and educational brainwashing in Marxism, lack of knowledge of their own country’s unique greatness, or a combination of the three that is responsible for the blindness that elected Obama president and still keeps so many Americans from seeing that Obama’s friends now and from way back hate America, gate white, hate religion, hate Capitalism, want to turn free countries into Third World tyrannies, and love all mass murdering dictators and terrorists who whose platform is hate and harm to America? The dumbing down of America has been rapid and it is biting us all.

The word “struggle” is in every backward fools vocabulary. Example, Cuba is in the 6th decade of struggle, and they perceivably will still be there till humans climb back into the trees. How any white self styled progressive could want to regress into the “permanent struggle” is beyond me?
