Chickens Came Home to Roost? (Jones)

Liberty Trumps Tyranny
WND WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones quit late last night after pressure mounted over his extremist history first exposed in WND.
Van Jones Resigns
The last straw for Jones was being caught on tape in an expletive-packed rant, directly attacking Republicans in the Senate who he said abused their majority position in the past to push legislation through. He admitted after the statements were released that the comments were “inappropriate” and “offensive.”
Exit Statement
VAN JONES: “On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
We are still mining the Internet for the “lies and distortions” he is writing about … haven’t found any so far. Everything that has been brought up against him are HIS OWN VIDEOS … all over YouTube. We’ll post here if we find any “lies and distortions.” (Please “comment” below if you find one.
Chickens coming home to roost?
I’ll keep this simple. You cannot spend a major part of your adult life bashing about saying things that you “find regrettable” if you were chosen for a high level post. Van Jones did this to himself. This country simply is not going to put up with a person in a high office that has these views and says those kinds of things. Its just not going to fly. So for Jones … this wasn’t something Glenn Beck or talk radio did to him … he DID IT TO HIMSELF. In the words of Rev. Wright … his “chickens are coming home to roost!”
And where was the “mainstream news media?”
There were a few “missing in action” on this news cycle … ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT , and the Washington Post.. just to name a few. As of Sunday morning, NOTHING, not ONE word was said or printed about the Van Jones controversy by any of these. This raises a question for me … is everybody watching Fox and the Internet? If none of these other [sorry] “news” outlets weren’t covering this … then where did the panic come from that made him resign? 95% of the news media is silent and 5% causes this to happen? (figures are mine, just a guess). Does this seem strange to you? It certainly makes you wonder “what” people are listening to and who they are believing.
The “Vetting” process of the Obama Administration?
Judge me by the people I surround myself with ...
According to Administration spokespersons … they had been “watching Jones since he was in Oakland.” The statements he made that chased him out of office were made during and after when he was in Oakland. So you have to ask what are the Obama Administration’s standards? Obviously, Van Jones “passed” the standards this administration has in place for its people … but those standards didn’t pass (the smell test) for the American Public. Basically this incident demonstrates this President’s standards are far below those of the American citizenry and how out of touch this administration must be with the mainstream. Now we have to ask, what about the other 30 some czars? And are the czars being appointed “around” the vetting of congress because they could not meet the standards of congress? Sure seems an interesting way to set up your own cabinet without the scrutiny of congress (shadow government?).
The bottom line …
Trust once again becomes an issue. This President and administration are not ones we can trust, and we have demonstrated that we must question them over and over on anything they are doing. We questioned their “educational plan” for the upcoming speech to the children … and they “changed” it because it was WRONG. So had we not questioned, they would have gone full speed ahead in the socialist direction WITH OUR CHILDREN without our approval. The Van Jones affair shows now that we cannot trust them with the VETTING process (guided by poor standards) … and also now is clear that the other 30 some czars “probably” have many of the same problems. We’ll see. Just remember, if you are looking for “news” on this, don’t use ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT or Washington Post … this has proven there is no “news” there. Adding all this up, it becomes a vote of TOTAL FAILURE for the main stream media (other than Fox and the Internet) and NO TRUST in this president. The result is this:PS:
"Trust" Approval Index?
PS: Sargento Cheese pulling ads from Glenn Beck?
Statement from Sargento:
“We deeply appreciate your reaching out to us and sharing your comments and concerns about Sargento ads appearing during “The Glenn Beck Show.” We sat down with the marketing department to talk about it and I learned that we buy time periods not specific programs. But in any event, they’ve made the decision to exclude that program from our future ad rotation. Simply stated, Sargento ads won’t be airing during that show. Again, thanks for contacting us.”
Does this mean they support Van Jones … someone the President doesn’t even support? Apology Sargento? Ask them HERE (I did).
Dear Sargento:
You pulled your ads from Glenn Beck. Now it has been proven that Mr. Beck was correct in his analysis of Van Jones. So you were INCORRECT in your analysis. Now the President of the United States no longer supports Van Jones. But your ads still are not running. Does this mean you do continue to support the statements and policies of Van Jones? I love your products, but won’t purchase another until I see an apology to Mr. Beck and an ad supporting him.
