Meet Van “Down By The River” Jones.  The next left-wing bigot with a major conflict of interest to be installed in James Urkel Carter, Jr.’s Admemphistration.  Some may remember my commenting on his lunacy at this year’s State of the Black Panther Union pogrom hosted by Tavis Smiley:

Van Jones hawks his own cause – getting “green” government grant dollars for a minority owned business.  He explores an imaginary past where white colonizers sought to put a price tag on Mother Earth but that his great-great-great-grandmother told him about “mumba” and that you can’t put a price tag on Nature.  But that the white colonizer showed her and then put a price tag on her as well. Now, whitey has to go back and beg great-great-grandmama to help save the planet that he messed up because he didn’t realize that grandma sitting in a mudhut was actually speaking in such reverent ecological mindsets that blah, blah, blah….gimme, gimme, gimme.  Something tells me Mr. Jones can put a price tag on how much the government should pay him to plant a tree in the projects.

Van has  a vested interest in promoting green jobs since that’s the business he’s in.  It would be like Dick Cheney appointing the the CEO of Halliburton as the Energy Czar except that, you know, Halliburton is actually successful at something.

If the Press would do their jobs (read not likely), they would ensure that no government grant money ever goes to Jones’ own company or any of his relatives.

Listen to this raving nutter in his own crazy words.  From two weeks ago:

You cannot beat global warming unless you understand that 40% of greenhouse gases are not coming from cars they’re coming from buildings and 75% of greenhouse gases are coming from the cities and you cannot green the cities unless you green the ghetto and you cannot green the ghetto in 2009 without giving Pookie a job.  So….*two snaps and a cirlce*   unintelligible mumbling…that’s a new environmental movement….Give Pookie a job!  Beat this recession and global warming at the same time.  Beat pollution and poverty at the same time.  And recognize the True Genius of Barack Obama ™ is that the First Black President is the First Green President.  He’s not just trying to save you – he’s going to save the whole wide world!

Think it was that hard for Urkel to give this particular Pookie a job?  Another slavish cult member on the government dole serving a narcisissitic megalomaniac with a Messiah complex.  He’s going to save the world.  He can’t even save 75% of his cabinet appointments.   He can’t save enough money to send a copy of Rosetta Stone to his Secretary of State Hillary “Carrot Top” Clinton for her Prop Comedy Diplomacy (motto:  Waddle softly and carry a big steam trunk).

At first, I merely found Jones’ comments retarded but upon further examination you can see what he’s really saying.  That in his new capacity he will oversee a new multi-billion dollar, racially litmus tested welfare program under the aegis of environmentalism.

Nevermind that if more people are working that more people are going to be consuming and buying products that ultimately harm the planet.  The poor ghettodweller who must take the city bus will now be able to afford a car.  The owner of a proud concrete hoe-house will not be investing in solar panels and a Prius.  The woman who still uses a clothesline on the back stoop will suddenly be able to afford a dryer and thus use more electricity.  Buying more trash to fill the landfill.

Not to worry.  His Cap-And-Trade Policy will take care of that because he’s going to tax you so much that you live in the dark.  The green on the outside, red on the inside Watermelon Party wants to treat you like the planetary fungus that you are:

Van Jones: Oakland’s evangelist for the green-collar economy will battle the industry-backed alliance for energy and economic growth, which says a carbon cap would be disastrous for blue-collar America.  (Mother Jones, 3 March 2009)

Yea.  It’s going to be rough – for you.  Blue collar and ring-around-the-collar alike.

This isn’t about saving the environment though.  It’s about seeding a grassroots ghetto constituency with the taxpayer’s dime in communities overflowing with people 44 years after government declared a war on poverty without an exit strategy.  After half a century of intergenerational poverty and broken families you might think that they wanted people to stay dependent and stupid.

Maybe you’ll enjoy The Projects more if there’s a $25 million dollar piece of ivy crawling up the brick wall.

Lest you think I’m exaggerating, the eco-commies are ecstatic:

I’ve heard Van Jones speak several times and have always been impressed and inspired by his ideas so it’s great news that he’s going to work in the administration. His rhetoric is a little edgier than what we’ve come to expect from national politics and I hope he doesn’t end up getting booted for speaking the truth as Joycelyn Elders was.

Maybe he can teach the chirren how to put a condom on a tailpipe with his mouth.   I’m pretty sure Joycelyn would have wanted it that way.
