One down, 36 to go

 

Van Jones bit the dust. Officially, he “retired” (at about 40) from federal service. He did not retire; he was pushed out by the Obama administration. He and they did not want their finger prints on the event, so the thought up this story to cover the actual truth.

Who is responsible for Van Jones taking a long hike? World Net Daily first broke the story when Van Jones was appointed. But, they were not able to generate a lot of heat to get Van Jones to quit or even get the Obama administration to blink. Glen Beck has been raking Van Jones over the coals for about the last 10 days. The amount of heat Glen Beck generated would have to be what caused Van Jones to quit. Sean Hannity started to do stories on Van Jones this past week. To sum up the credit, World Net Daily has to be given partial credit for breaking the story. Glen Beck has to be given credit for actually getting Van Jones to quit because he was generating a lot of heat. Other talk show hosts were playing off of what Glen Beck had uncovered. Glen Beck’s research team is second to none. They make absolutely certain that Glen is protected when he stands in front of a camera or a microphone and tells it like it is. Part of the credit also has to be given to the Obama team that fumbled the ball at every opportunity. They would have to be likened to the “Keystone Kops” of old movie fame.

The question that has to be asked now is: Who is the next target on the Obama team? There are a lot of shady characters as Czars on the Obama team. Some have already been exposed during the Van Jones exposure as being communist or part of communist groups.

The remaining question about Van Jones is: how did this man get so close to the President? With the background he had there is no way he could have been vetted by the FBI. He must have been vetted by the White House. That says a lot about the White House and their lack of ability to get things done. Either they did not know who Van Jones was, which makes them incompetent. Or they knew who Van Jones was which makes them part of the problem. If they knew who Van Jones was and still approved him, how did these people get approved? Keep walking backwards until you get to the person or persons who are responsible for all these communists and socialist sympathizers getting high level access to the President of the United States. I don’t know about you, but I get real nervous whenever any President gets near a communist. But I am especially worried when THIS president gets near a communist. Barack Obama always seems to have a lot of communists around him. That is probably just a coincidence.

 The next Czar to fall will most likely be the Science Czar, John Holdren. John Holdren advocates forced sterilization of women. That position and many other controversial positions will put John Holdren in the cross hairs of Glen Beck and other conservative talk shows. Now that one Czar has fallen because of an investigation into the background of Van Jones, it is fair game to investigate the background of any Czar. Any Czar with a shaky background will find himself/herself on the hot seat real fast. Since the Obama administration is particularly thin skinned, being on the hot seat is another way of saying that they are on the way out. If I was an Obama Czar with a shady past or thin resume, I would look for better pastures real fast. That is before the hammer falls from an external investigation. The Obama administration would do well to clean house before another investigation shoots another one down. Of course, I do enjoy the show of one investigation after another turning up dirt on some new Czar. The question is will Obama do the right thing or try and hide other incompetent person, only time will tell.

Glen Beck vs Van Jones - Who will Win in the end?

 

Glen Beck is still under attack from the left. In a way that is a good thing. It means that he is being effective in finding the skeletons in their closet. It is also a bad way because it shows how many companies are spineless lapdogs of the left.

Glen Beck has a terrible time slot to get high ratings, yet he is now frequently the top show on all of cable news. Bill O’Reilly has had the top slot for a long time. Glen is now getting ratings that challenge Bill for the top spot each day. Bill O’Reilly undoubtedly does not like that, but it is the nature of TV that shows wax and wane in the ratings. Right now, Glen Beck is hot and it shows. Both Bill O’Reilly and Glen Beck are on Fox News. Either one gets more people viewing their shows than view the total of the top shows for any other cable channel.

The higher the viewership a show has the more advertisers generally want to advertise on that show. The reason is that you want to be seen. You also want to be seen on the “best” shows. The “best” shows are usually defined as those that bring in the highest viewers. A side note to this is that conservative show viewers tend to be more loyal than viewers for other shows. All of this would lead one to believe that advertisers are knocking down the door to get on the Glen Beck TV show. After Van Jones started the boycott, a number of advertisers have pulled their ads from Fox News and the Glen Beck show in particular. In my mind, those are advertisers to avoid. If they don’t want to advertise on Glen Beck, then I don’t want to buy their products. All I need now is a list of those advertisers and I can change my buying habits.

Why are advertisers boycotting Glen Beck? A couple of weeks ago, Glen Beck said that Barack Obama is a racist on his TV show. The next day on his radio show, he explained why he believed Barack Obama was a racist. Whether you agree with Glen Beck or not, he has a right to his opinion. Viewers have a right to watch his show after a comment like that. His viewership is through the roof. Obviously viewers are not put off by the comment about Barack Obama being a racist. Advertisers also did not have a problem with it until Van Jones started his boycott movement.

Just like I support Michael Savage in his effort to remove the stain of being “Banned in Britain”, I support Glen Beck in this effort. Whether or not talk show hosts will support one another is not important to me. I understand why other talk show hosts do not support Michael Savage’s efforts in regards to England. They believe if they put their support behind Michael Savage’s efforts then they will be lumped together with his views. I can’t really tell much difference between the views of Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. If you boil them down to their essentials, they agree on most issues. That is as it should be because they are all conservatives. But, they also all believe that they are the best talk show on the radio/TV. To put their support behind another host would acknowledge that the other host is important. Their egos will not allow another talk show to be nearly as important as their talk show. That is why they will not support one another, even though they should.

As a private person who has no ax to grind, I can support multiple hosts and have no problem with that support. I listen to all of them and more to gain as much information as possible. Dismissing one or more as unimportant would diminish my information base. When one of my sources of information is in trouble, all of my sources of information are in trouble.

Glen Beck has been exposing the circle of advisors to Barack Obama. Van Jones is one of the closest advisors to Barack Obama. After the revelations this past week, Van Jones cannot last much longer as the Green Jobs Czar. I look for him to disappear from the White House this weekend or early next week. That will diminish the standing of Van Jones, but will most likely cause him to work that much harder to stop Glen Beck from broadcasting. That will kick this battle up one notch. Van Jones has a problem in his fight with Glen Beck. The problem is that Glen Beck only uses highly researched information. Van Jones is using lies to support his position. Glen Beck is using facts to support his position. Eventually the advertisers will see the light and tell Van Jones where to stick it. Companies can lose only so much money over principle.

Birds are coming Home to Roost

 

Barack Obama is caught between a rock and a hard place. The public outcry over his “teaching” the children has caused him to revise his plan. It most likely will make the address very bland and uninteresting. If he tried any tricks, he would be called on it and roasted on a stick. He most likely will just say the usual platitudes when dealing with students. There is still the problem of his face in front of children. I have an objection to that because I do not trust the man. I would not have said that about any other President in our country’s history, including Bill Clinton.

Wednesday, Obama will address Congress in an attempt to change the debate on the healthcare bill. Democrat Senators and Congressmen have been hammered by protesters over their recess meetings. The Obamacare bill is withering rapidly and it is in great need of some help. Unfortunately for Obama, the objections to the Obamacare bill are specific and targeted. The objections are about specific things in the bill that the Democrats have invested a lot of their prestige. This will be a hard thing to reconcile.

The biggest problem with the Obamacare bill is that it asks every American to sacrifice except for the Trial Lawyers. The Trial Lawyers are primarily responsible for the high cost of health care in this country because of lawsuit abuse. But, they give huge amounts of money to Democrats to fund their campaigns. Obama got a large portion of his campaign cash from the Trial Lawyers. That is why he will not ask them to sacrifice. If they have to sacrifice, they will not give as much to Democrats, especially Obama. Without Tort reform, Obama is not serious about fixing healthcare problems in this country. With Tort reform in the bill, Democrats will not get funding for their campaigns from Trial Lawyers, so many will go down to defeat. That is the box Obama is in regarding healthcare. It will be interesting to see what he does on Wednesday. My guess is that meaningful Tort reform will not be part of the Obamacare bill. That will mean he is not serious.

There are rumors that the Afghanistan portion of the War on Terror is not doing well. I have heard that we need a surge like we had in Iraq. I have heard that we are losing the hearts of the Afghanistan people. I am not sure if any of that is true. I do know that Obama has sent a lot of troops to Afghanistan and the casualty lists for this year are the highest they have been. Afghanistan is now Obama’s war to win or lose. It is interesting that the people that were demonstrating against Iraq and Afghanistan are now silent. The protesters had maintained that they were against all war, not just the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Just like I thought, they were not telling the truth.

We have Van Jones causing a ruckus by just being Van Jones. He is on tape telling everyone he was a communist at the time of the taping. He also evidently became part of the “Truther” movement in the Democrat party. The Truther movement are people that demanded to know the truth about 9/11. They insist that George W. Bush and the government knew about the attacks before they occurred and demanded to see the paperwork that verified their claims. Van Jones has denied he was a “Truther”. The leader of the movement said that nobody had their name on the list that did not authorize their name be put there. Either Van Jones is not telling the truth or the leader of the Truther group is not telling the truth. My guess is that Van Jones is the one not telling the truth. There is no real reason for the leader of the Truther movement to lie. There is a great incentive for Van Jones to not tell the truth. My guess is that Van Jones is let go within the next couple of weeks. Van Jones is causing too many problems for Barack Obama. He wants people in those positions that are obscure so nobody will shoot at them.

It will be an interesting week ahead for the gang that couldn’t shoot straight and their leader Barack Obama. If things continue as they have been for the past month, Obama may lose control entirely.

Green Shirts - Coming to a community near you!

 

Barack Hussein Obama is setting up his own kingdom within our government. He is appointing people to answer directly to him instead of reporting to some agency. These people have power over many government agencies and even cabinet posts. One such appointment is a man by the name of Van Jones.

Van Jones is a street radical from Tennessee. After receiving a law degree from Yale, he started working in San Francisco. His special attention was the San Francisco Police Department. He would film police officers while they were on and off duty and then make whistleblower complaints to get them fired. He did all this to protect the street gangs that patrol the San Francisco streets. Now he is Obama’s “Green Czar”.

After Van Jones ruined many lives in San Francisco, he found a more lucrative way to fool people. He got in with the global warming crowd. He has been talking about creating a green way out of poverty in San Francisco for the past few years. As such, he caught the eye of the Obama administration and was put in charge of turning all the federal agencies that deal with the urban areas into green agencies. He is also to be in charge of Obama’s, “Civilian National Security Force”. This is that group of civilians that have the same funding as the military and have more power than the police. Barack Obama talked about it on the campaign trail, but the controversy was too much so he stopped talking about it.

There was another community organizer that rose to power on the arm of an army of “brown shirts”. This community organizer had a friend named Ernest Rohm who ran the S.A. The S.A. was the group that protected the community organizer as he rose to power in Germany. Some of the other jobs this group had were to control the crowds and harass the Jews.

Ernest Rohm was a socialist, just like Van Jones. Ernest Rohm was a street organizer, just like Van Jones.

Barack Obama is not Hitler. He has not said anything bad about the Jews, so any comparison with Hitler would be stupid. A comparison with Mussolini would be more apt as Mussolini had the same goals as Hitler, without the anti-Semitism. But, I am not comparing him to Mussolini. I am not even talking about Obama in this blog post. I am talking about Van Jones.

The Environment is Obama’s way of controlling the people. He is using the fake global warming scare to turn this country into a socialist country. Obama is supposed to be a smart person; he should know that global warming is a hoax. Anyone with a brain knows that it is false. Only those that do not read or look at the evidence believe that global warming is true. But, in order to get people to comply with the phony global warming restrictions, he will need an army of people to regulate the economy. Enter Van Jones and the Civilian National Security Force or “Green Shirts”. They would be available to force people to comply with rules that will make life difficult and not improve the environment at all.

Barack is running the country like he is the sole source of inspiration. If the Congress does not act fast enough, he writes an executive order. If he is just impatient, he writes an executive order. It is almost like he is dictator and we are the peons that get to serve him, not the other way around.

Government should serve the people. People should not serve government. That is the American way. I am afraid it is not Obama’s way.
