Van Jones Attacks Conservative Koch Brothers Using Slavery Metaphor

While conservative brothers David and Charles Koch hosted their annual political strategy meeting in Palm Springs, members of another organization were gathered across town, plotting how to “Unclock the Kochs.”
“Nonpartisan” Common Cause — the same group whose members were arrested for disrupting the Koch’s convention — invited Center for American Progress senior fellow and former White House green jobs czar Van Jones to speak about “the threat that concentration of economic power poses to American liberty, democracy and justice,” ThinkProgress reports.
After thanking the tea party movement for opening a discussion about liberty, Jones warns that liberty “always has two threats” — the “excessive concentration of political power” and “excessive concentrations of economic power.”
“We will not live on a national plantation run by the Koch brothers. We’re not going to do that. We refuse to do that,” Jones said.

More wellfare, to put people in houses they couldn’t afford! Spread the wealth, to bring every down! In case you didn’t know CRA stands for community reinvestment
Report Post »act, “The CRA was passed as a result of national pressure to address the deteriorating conditions of American cities—particularly lower-income and minority neighborhoods.[4] Community activists, such as Gale Cincotta of National People’s Action in Chicago, had led the national fight to pass, and later to enforce the Act.[39]” Welcome to wellfare, one more govt. program that brought the World down!

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 11:37pmLet us never forget, this parasite on America first came to our attention because he was in our very White House as one of the ‘ chosen ones ’, chosen ones.
He ( Jones ) was set out in the night, without explaination, and as far as the Obama regime was concerned, never to be spoken of again.
Rev. Wright, A.C.O.R.N., Van Jones, the new black panthers, the lies of the Congressional black caucus. There is a deffinite pattern in a Barack Obama presidency that smacks of racism…..from within, not the other way around.
The Ass Clown, nor his people have never, to this day, explained the blood brother relationships between our supposed president and these individuals / organizations.
Rather they are locked away in an off limits to the American people in an Al Gore inspired lock box along with the rest of Barack’s past life including birth, school, etc.
Anyone, including your or I, as American citizens, questioning any aspect of this presidents questionable past, present and I’m certain future transgressions are immediately vilified as racial motivated.
Actually these questions are simply in response to the first black American presidents questionable character and choices when it comes to racial issues in America…..not the other way around.
No amount of spinning, propaganda, or lies coming from the White House nor the lame street press will EVER prevail in perverting the truth.

Posted on January 31, 2011 at 11:28pmLiberty is threatened by economic power? Baloney. In a free society liberty creates economic power, and economic power creates military power, and military power creates political power. It’s socialist lefties who want a too powerful government, and all the money controlled by the government. It’s amazing to me that everything the left accuses conservatives of wanting, is exactly what the left wants for themselves. Full political and economic control.
Also, the Koch’s don’t own slaves. Exchanging labor for money is not slavery, it’s how capitalism works. However, the left will make you slaves, far worse than you can imagine. You will have no rights under socialism, only the right to vote for a socialist.

However, Reality© is sometimes a hard pill to swallow and can cause panic attacks as well as other adverse reactions, so it isn’t for everyone, but I think it help treat what ails you.
