The Bay Area's Van Jones — the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality — just finished apologizing for calling Republicans "a-holes" when he got something else to start explaining: How his signature got on a 2004 petition asking for an immediate "inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur." Van said he didn't carefully review the petition before signing it "certainly does not reflect my views now or ever."
Bad sign: When asked if Jones still enjoys the confidence of the President Friday, White House flak Robert Gibbs said "he continues to work in this administration."
Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.
They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
Watson evidently likes what she sees in the White House and is feeling comfortable about letting her true feelings out. She was elected and that is one thing. But when Communists are knowingly appointed to government positions, bypassing Constitutional provisions, that is another thing.
The Green Czar is supposed to be in charge of creating Green or environmently friendly jobs. Again, our Green Czar, Van Jones, when asked what a green job is, couldn't answer the question. There was and still is no formal definition, yet we have a Czar in charge of those jobs. These Czars are not window dressing. These Czars answer only to Obama. Obama bypassed Senate comfirmation hearings and therefore investigations to appoint known Communists and radicals to powerful positions, answerable only to the President. Obama knows who and what these people are he is appointing. Our President is knowingly installing Communists and dangerous radicals bent on over throwing the Constitution. Make no mistake. They aren't there to support it.
Another Czar to watch is the newest, Mark Lloyd, the "Diversity Czar". He openly supports Chavez in Venezuala, and his efforts to squelch media and free speech. Lloyd himself has called the 1st Ammendment a tool for corporations and not a valid right for Americans. There is a provision being brought up in Congress, allowing Obama to suspend operation of the Internet and other communications should a "situation" arise. I'll get more on that. Just imagine if someone had tried to give Bush that power.
No no, my namecalling was addressed to the Representative from California. I never said I liked the government we have, only that we probably deserve it. An elected official who admires a murderous scumbag like Castro? Somebody elected the dang fool! That's all I meant.
I have no idea what a Green Czar is, I doubt anyone else does either. I think all of the 'czar' positions are just window dressing for whoever's pet causes: witness how effective the 'Drug Czar' was.
Sorry if you though I was calling you names, Kurt, that was not my intent: I agree Rep. Watson is dangerously misinformed (at best).
OK, cool.

Call me any name you like. I'm glad you like the government you deserve. We have Communists in the White House. "Green Czar" Van Jones for one. A flaming Communist. An emeny of this nation. Obama knowingly appointed him to as a "Czar" knowing full well he would never pass any Senate investigation. He can't even tell us what a "green" job is. This country is being hijacked and I'm glad you think we deserve it.
I don't like it one bit.

Idiot. Yeah, Castro was very smart. So what? Sociopaths often have high IQs, that does not mean we should emulate them. Is it any wonder so many people cannot stand to be lumped in with EITHER political party?
I fear we already have the government we deserve...

The Commies in Washington are finally coming out of the woodwork.
Diane Watson (D) California said the following on 27 Aug 2009:
Rep. Watson's grasp of history isn't even tenuous, it's totally lacking. She flubs her history of Cuba, repeatedly. Cubans did not seek a leader, they did not find Castro. Castro and his hack Che, having butchered tens of thousands, and not just those with means, bloodied their way to power. Che did not stand alone and then Castro was found. Utter rubbish. When you paint a false picture of a brutal dictator, don't let facts color your thoughts. Rep. Watson is clearly an idiot's idiot. It's reprensible that any member of Congress might look lightly upon the human carnage Castro used to pave his way to power, but to not know of what they speak, compounds Rep. Watson's left leaning looniness. Rep. Watson is but the lastest left wing nutcase to issue nonsense on Cuba and the tyranny Cubans have felt for decades. In her case and for all others like her, ignorance is a strong mitigating factor trumped only by the left's flirtatious admiration for the Castros of this world. To wit: Chavez of Venezuela... Perhaps Rep. Watson follows the lead of this Administration, now poised to end all trade with Honduras. And all because Honduran's, their Congress and Supreme Court in unanimous voice, defended their constitutional government against a deposed wannabe Chavez...

Former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana was convicted Wednesday on 11 of the 16 corruption charges against him in a case that included the discovery of $90,000 in his freezer.
Left wing nut? He's from Louisiana - didn't they invent corrupt politicians?
I thought that honor belonged to Chicago, where more dead people vote than anywhere else in America.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN)— Former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana was convicted Wednesday on 11 of the 16 corruption charges against him in a case that included the discovery of $90,000 in his freezer.
Former Rep. William Jefferson arrives at U.S. District Court with his wife, Andrea, on June 9.
A federal court jury convicted Jefferson on four bribery counts, three counts of money laundering, three counts of wire fraud and one count of racketeering. He was acquitted on five other counts including wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
Jefferson, a 62-year-old Democrat, was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 4, 2007, about two years after federal agents said they found the cash in his freezer. Authorities said the cash was part of a payment in marked bills from an FBI informant in a transaction captured on video.
Jefferson had pleaded not guilty. He faces a maximum possible sentence of 150 years in prison, with sentencing tentatively set for October 30. ___________________________________________
Hurricane Katrina was the rainy day that he decided to get to his "Rainy Day Fund". What a greedy DF.

You know? It's really tough to find a LeftWingNutz. As soonas a depply sickheaded left winger chooses a group of people to kill, he or she becomes a fascist - ergo, a RightWingNut.
Anyway, how about Cloward and Pivin - the roots of ACORN?
Wow, Janeane Garafalo is dangerous! Speaking about FREEDOM & such - the ultimate FREEDOM HATER is the guy who coined the phrase "FREEDOM hater." Well, we're done with the shrub - back to your Cedar brakes shrubly Shrub.
How come I can't find much nuttiness in this video - maybe I'm too brainwashed by the liberal gay left. *sigh* Is that it?
