Van Jones: Emblematic of the New Frontier
Pajamas Media ^ | Sept. 5 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 09/05/2009 12:26:33 PM PDT by AJKauf

Well, the post-racial candidate had given us a 95% black monolithic voting pattern in the primaries against a fellow liberal candidate. Add up Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, the clingers speech, an exasperated Bill Clinton’s assessment of “playing the race card on me”, “typical white person”, ‘wise Latina’, the Skip Gates mess, the Van Jones’ white polluters, the satraps like Gov. Patterson and Reps. Rangel and Watson reverting to blatantly racist scapegoating, and so on.

I fear that this is the most polarizing administration we have seen in matters of race since the 1920s. If those around Obama, and his supporters in Congress, had just substituted the word “black” each time they have angrily invoked the word “white”, they would have been branded abject racists.

How strange that we now learn of Van Jones’s long record of venom, but are told that he did not really mean it, and that the White House was unaware of these statements. Yet we know that Jones was selected because of, not despite, his provocations. Cf. Obama honcho Valerie Jarrett’s ecstasy: “Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.[emphasis added]”...

Hey, Van Jones is just like a crazy nephew...everybody has one, but we don't necessarily agree with every thing they say.;-)

Maybe 0bama can have Van Jones preside over his 9/11 “National Day of Service” parade.

Valerie Jarrett needs to be investigated next. Every last one of the Leftists in the administration should get the Van Jones treatment to see just what kind of “experts” the Kenyan has foisted on America. Then the impeachment proceedings should begin.

Seeing all our troubled African American senators, congress people, governors, mayors, and Czars cry racist seems to be falling on deaf ears and kind of a last minute sorry a## excuse for getting out of a jam or explaining to all how wrongly they have been treated. Anyone sick of this nonsense?

By all accounts Omama is forming the most racist government since the 1920s. This time its black hate and payback racism that is blaming all for the problems of the past.

I hear Romney is also to blame for global cooling.

Are you trying to make a point? Are you claiming that Mitt Romney is not involved in the Meg Whitman race?

MEG WHITMAN RAISES OVER $6.5 MILLION IN FIVE MONTHS
July 4th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Bain & Company, California, Governor Romney, Meg Whitman, Mitt Romney

Gov. Romney’s pick for the Republican nomination for Governor of the beleaguered state of California, Meg Whitman, has gotten off to a fast start, according to her fund raising team.

Gov. Romney continues to enjoy a high level of success with his candidate picks, with the vast majority of them going on to be successful in their races.

From a personal standpoint, I wish that Ms. Whitman was pro-life, but if I can’t get everything I want in a candidate for statewide office, I’ll settle for a great businesswoman, who likes to cut taxes and keep government smaller, simpler and smarter.

I think Romney is also to blame for Schwarzenegger’s failings. After all, both Maria and Mitt are from Massachusetts.

You aren’t making sense, what ever you are trying to say isn’t making it to the surface.

IMHO these appointees of the Obama administration and those closely associated with Obama, wish white people in concentration camps (unless one is a white woman willing to sleep with them and be a concubine). Those whites working with Obama are useful idiots. The writings, public statements, racism, and actions subtly infer that the blacks in this administration wish us exterminated. One says, oh no, that is way over the top!!, but listen closely and watch the actions of these and see what has happened in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

For the first time since 9/11 happened, I am not watching any official coverage on Friday. My memories start from a dead quiet El Segundo, right next to the LAX airport. Not until I turned on the news did I find out why it was so quiet in an area right down the street from one of the nation’s busiest airports.

“The people who knocked these buildings down” have heard from us. I’m not going to listen to home grown terrorists who think we did this to ourselves.

“You aren’t making sense, what ever you are trying to say isn’t making it to the surface.”

CowboyBilly may have a burr under his saddle; Typing is difficult while attempting the near impossible task of remaining atop the Romney conundrum.

If broncobilly would care to sleep it off, then comment, I’m fifty per-cent sure the confusion will be cleared up. Maybe.

It’s possible.
