Greenwashing 9/11 (to nat'l day of service,+Soros donates to Van Jones organizations)

From inside the Obama White House, green jobs czar Van Jones has been orchestrating a campaign to greenwash the meaning of 9/11 using federal resources and a political front group he founded, new research suggests.

It is unclear if this is illegal but at a minimum it raises questions about ethics, self-dealing, and the proper use of U.S. government resources.

*snip*

As I wrote last week, about 60 groups including ACORN, Apollo Alliance, Color of Change, and Rainbow PUSH Coalition are trying to help the Obama administration modify the meaning of 9/11. They want to turn each Sept. 11 into a National Day of Service focused on the importance of bicycle paths, ethanol, carbon emission controls, putting solar panels on your roof, and radical community organizing.

It has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year's election campaign.

~~PING!

I pray those on the tour to the 9/12 event in DC do have some sort of commemoration along way of that despicable attack and act of war on our beloved homeland on September 11, 2001. WE MUST NEVER FORGET the terror of that horrifying fate to our own, and the unforgettable wound to our nation. ! Our country was never to be and will never be the same since that day.

They CANNOT be allowed to take away our memories and commitment to those innocents who perished on that day.

Suffice it to say....this is the most despicable President in the history of the United States!

No IRS Form 990 -- the tax return a nonprofit files -- is yet publicly available for the group, possibly because the group is so new, but some donations to it have been identified. According to philanthropy databases, Green for All has received....

What websites have this info? Guidestar seems to only have the Form 990s, unless you pay a ton to get other access.

This garbage is now being funded by you and me (taxpayers) through the GIVE Act.

Ain’t Amerika great?

Soros is an old fool who never did anything for anybody except himself. Now that he’s old, he wants to go out as a great guy. So he donates to leftist causes.

He's a whackjob.
The administration is full of whackjobs.
Which can only mean one thing - Obama is also a whackjob.

Van Jones: Only ‘Suburban White Kids’ Shoot Up Schools

“The administration is full of whackjobs.”

December 2, 2005: “You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school.”

Strange and bizarre.
He might want to get up to speed on who holds the record stats for gang rapes.
