Last night on Bill O’Reilly, Mary Katherine Ham & Juan Williams were back to discuss the situation with Rush Limbaugh, as well as liberal talk radio host, Warren Ballentine, who told Juan he should go back to the “porch” on an episode last week. O’Reilly missed the audio, but wanted to bring Juan back to discuss it.
I swear if any white person would have told any black person on TV to get back on the “porch,” there would be hell to pay, and Sharpton, Jackson and the other race pimps would be on every liberal network 24/7, demanding that white person’s termination/castigation/repudiation, and what other punishments they could attempt to bring to bear.
What a wonderfully PC system we have, don’t we? It will be the death of this nation.
Glenn Beck today reflected on Van Jones’ resignation over this past weekened, saying he didn’t deserve credit for it, although he received just that all weekend long via Twitter, email and voice mail. Glenn wonders, as do I, why the ONLY thing folks seemingly find a problem with is his participation as a 9/11 “truther.”
A truther? That’s it? That’s all folks are concerned about? There is MUCH more disturbing information about Jones that should be MORE troubling to ALL Americans! Examples include his past self-avowed proclamation as a Communist, his work as a revolutionary for S.T.O.R.M., his respect and admiration of Che & other dictators, his link to the groups who want to free cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal (also a self-avowed Communist), his links with the California “CopWatch” group, his assertion that “white polluters” were intentionally poisoning people of color, his desires to use the Green movement to get “social justice” for people of color, his disdain for the people of Isreal, his past as a black nationalist, and on and on and on. I could go for much longer, but I think you get my point.
The most troubling aspect of this whole thing to me is this: Even though Van Jones resigned, the White House never said they disagreed with Jones’ politics; only that they were sad to see him go.
Folks, I ask you to watch this video a few times and ask yourself a few questions:
Can you support a president who does not disavow the beliefs of a man like Van Jones?
How many other of the “czars” are there in the Obama Administration that we need to know about?
If the White House doesn’t vet people like Van Jones, even with the cabinet-level position questionnaire others hand to answer, how can you trust any of their other unaccountable appointments?
Are you willing to blindly trust anything that this administration, and/or the Democrat-controlled Congress tries to thrust upon this nation?
If you answered “no” or “I’m not sure” to ANY of these questions folks, we are in trouble. As you saw today, as Van Jones is on the way out, Ron Bloom is the newest czar of Manufacturing. How much longer will you allow this to continue? And don’t give me this crap about “what can I do?” You can do your due diligence as AMERICANS, stand up and tell this government you will NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
Obama and Congress…DON’T TREAD ON ME!!!!
I’ll see you guys next Saturday in D.C. I’ll be there for the march, and I hope to see you there, as well. It’s time to make our voices heard. We are the silent majority NO MORE!
Today Rick Folbaum, sitting in for Shepard Smith on Studio B, had Judge Andrew Napolitano on to discuss the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s appoinment of the 30+ czars to date. This was in light of former Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, who resigned at 12:01 AM on Sunday this past Labor Day weekend.
The more the administration tries to explain things, the more questions are brought to bear: Are the Czars vetted? Does the FBI do background checks? How much money do they make? What kind of power do they have in decision-making in the Obama Administration? Who funds them? Who appoints them? What is their experience, and who vouches for their character? How much experience, and better yet, what KIND of experience do they bring to the job? What Cabinet-level positions do they supercede in making decision for the Executive Branch?
So, so many questions, yet so few answers. And Van Jones is only the beginning. It’s not Van Jones; it’s the entire administration’s unflinching appointment of unaccountable people to positions of power within the White House about which we, as a representative Republic, REQUIRE answers!
Who will be the first to ask? And will we get answers? Without amateur citizen journalism (read “Google searches”), we might not have known anything about Van Jones’ sorry, anti-American, communist, corrupt past?
Let “bathtub boy” dispatch his minions to dig up dirt on Stu & Beck all they want – but honestly… how much “dirt” can 4 people dig up?
I, for one, am going to continue MY search into ALL of the non-elected czars appointed by this president. And don’t think for one minute that I am alone – I am not. The White House cannot scrub the web fast enough to prevent the unraveling of their anti-capitalist, social-justice agenda.
As I told a person recently who saw my anti-Obama bumper stickers and said “you’re playing with fire with that” implying my car might be damaged, I just looked at him and said “I love my country more than my car.” So if they want to come after me for displaying anti-Obama bumper stickers, or Googling Obama’s questionable appointments, I just have one response….bring it on!
Well, well, well… now it’s come to Obama’s elite circle throwing THEMSELVES under the bus! Geez, this bus must be as big as Big Foot the monster truck! After all the unraveling of Van Jones’ radical history, finally someone at the White House broke – Van Jones issued a statement after 9PM tonight about his ‘indiscretion’ and regret on signing a 9/11 Truther petition in 2004. Yeah, that Truther petition.
“My work at the Council on Environmental Quality is entirely focused on one goal: building clean energy incentives which create 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and use renewable resources,” Jones said in his statement tonight.
Jones also said in his statement that “In recent days some in the news media have reported on past statements I made before I joined the administration – some of which were made years ago. If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize.”
Martha McCallum helped break the news of Jones coming out tonight to speak about it. My question is, shouldn’t it have been the White House that came out to refute or apologize for Jones’ history? Or is it again another person being tossed under the Obama bus?
Damn, it’s gettin’ crowded under there.
And the REAL thanks go to Glenn Beck. Glenn’s stuck his neck out more than anyone else on this, and just in the past day or so, other pundits have decided it’s finally safe to come out and talk about it. Go ahead, make Glenn the sacrificial lamb. He may not like what he’s going through personally right now, but he loves his country too much to worry about what he might have to suffer for telling the truth. Count me in on that one.
Tonight on Beck’s show, he revealed more unearthed and uncovered video and audio of the exploits, beliefs and agenda of Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones. This is just incredible, and how the White House can allow this to happen is unbelievable.
Seriously, how can this be allowed to continue? Is the FBI this inept, or did Obama waive Jones through? Either way, the FBI better come out and distance themselves from the administration on this garbage. Especially considering that they are the point-men on “high-value detainee interrogations” now. That is some SCARY shi* if this is how they vet Executive Branch personnel!!
Michelle Malkin weighs in with her intel, and provides more background into Van Jones’ Oakland history.
You tell me, people. Do you want a President who surrounds himself with radical people like this?
There’s not much more I can say here or editorialize on than what Glenn says. I could have cut out the last part where Glenn poses questions about his own motives, but I wanted to leave it because I think the context is important. If Glenn is wrong, then he’s wrong and discredited. But if he’s right, then what? Then not only does it suck for Glenn, but it sucks for ALL Americans!
I agree with Glenn about this back-and-forth between Left and Right; all common-sense Americans should come together as one group, and ask our government about this man, Van Jones, along with the other “czars” or “special advisers” or whatever the Obama administration is calling these 32 people. We, as a free country, deserve answers to these questions. And only as one voice can we truly ask for and get the answers we need. I think the powers-that-be like it when we are at each others’ throats, so we all need to stop it – and work together.
It is, after all, our country that is at stake. It doesn’t just affect Republicans – it affects every American.
A good friend passed along this video to me today, and it couldn’t have come on a better day. Enjoy!
This video perfectly embodies the sentiment of those who oppose big government and unsustainable spending.

I am SO proud of one of my home state’s Republican Senators, Tom Coburn. Not only is he a fine Senator, but he’s also a physician. Today he fired a warning shot across the bow to Dems, saying that if they think they can vote yes on the “deem to pass” rule but think they [...]
Well, somebody’s gotta pick up ACORN’s slack, dont’ they?
Yesterday on Beck, Glenn revealed even more lies the president and top Dems are churning out about alleged “victims” of our “broken” healthcare system. They keep trotting out these people at press events and other occasions to use and abuse these people to get this healthcare [...]
…and hilarity ensues.
I don’t agree with Stewart’s political views, but when he’s funny, he’s really funny. Check out this latest video of his recent discovery of Chatroulette.
I didn’t know Brian Williams had that good a sense of humor! I needed this laugh today.
