DESTROYING THE LEFT WILL NOT SUCCEED BY APPEASING THE LEFT…


Apparently, we are now supposed to ignore all those things we see on the ‘news’, depending on, of course, where it is you get your news, nearly ever night and instead believe those trying to convince us that blacks in this country are somehow deserving of special treatment and for no other reason than they may be descendants of those made to participate in a practice that ended over 150 years ago. And to make up for that, these same people must now be treated differently than the rest of us, and we’re not to complain about that. And if we do, we are accused of being racists!

And, it’s these same people who must be treated as if they are in some way special and as if the rules the rest of us must follow, under threat of arrest, they do not. Instead, they should be free to violate those rules and with no fear of being made to face any sort of consequence or punishment whatsoever. What a deal, right?  So I’m guessing that all of us white folks are now supposed to view all blacks as being as pure as the wind-driven snow, and the ONLY possible reason that ANY white cop would EVER have to arrest them would be, you guessed it, because he, or she, is black.

All of which brings to comments recent made by CNN contributor, and proud communist, Van Jones who, during an appearance on CNN’s ‘Newsroom’ this past Friday, in reacted to the 22-and-a-half year sentence of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Discussing how with good behavior, Chauvin is likely to serve closer to 15 years, Senior ‘legal analyst’ Elie Honig said, “Justice is imperfect. This is a serious sentence. Derek Chauvin will be in prison for 15 years. He’s 45 now until he’s 60. That said, I think this is light. I think the judge should’ve sentenced him more.”

And it was this genius who then went on to say, “Minnesota guidelines say you can double the 15 years if there is one aggravator. This judge found four aggravators and didn’t really come super close to doubling it.” Jones said, “Very disappointing, very disappointing 15 years, I know people doing 15 years for victimless crimes of drug possession. Very disappointing the level of any one of those aggravators. What this man did, it should’ve been the maximum of the maximum. This is disappointing. I don’t think it’s going to cause outrage. But it’s a punch in the gut.” Seriously???

Jones said, “This guy’s life is worth more than 15 years. It was. What that officer did is worth more than 15 years. Law enforcement across the country should look at something like this and say, look, you can’t do this type of stuff. You’re never going to come back home. It’s disappointing.” And when Honig pointed out there were two federal indictments still pending against Chauvin, Jones said, “The feds can come in and do more, and they should do more because this is not justice.” Jones is your typical black racist, nothing is ever enough which is why nothing should ever be given.

Jones, longtime Marxist agitator, wasn’t satisfied with the prison sentence. A guy now must have his life destroyed to placate the lowest element of our society? This was way too much time for a drugged up, incoherent crook who ‘never learned anything’ from his previous nine convictions, yet the Black audience acts like he was Father Floyd. Floyd caused the entire event, from start to finish. Fentanyl, stupidity and a bad heart, equals a dead felon. Floyd was already dying that day. It could have just as easily happened at home on his mama’s couch, saving the taxpayers $25 Million.

And I have absolutely no doubt that if an angel were to suddenly appear and say to the Floyd family, “I can give you George back, but you can’t keep any of the money, what’s your choice?”, they would likely laugh and say, “Oh he good, he good, he up in heaven. We will see him someday anyway.” Being a career criminal/drug addict, I imagine George’s family had seen his demise coming from a long way off. And it’s those morons who claim Floyd was some sort of a role model ARE the real problem in the black community. But sadly, that’s not likely to change any time soon.

This is crazy! Let’s be honest here, in any other time Chauvin would have been found not guilty. If Chauvin had actually gotten a fair trial he would now be a free man. And it’s anyone who’s being honest that will acknowledge the fact that he most certainly did not. That Floyd died in his exchange with the police was due to his own bad behavior, and sadly could have been so easily avoided. No, Chauvin shouldn’t go to prison because of Floyd’s overdose. If Floyd was white, it wouldn’t have even made the news and Chauvin would have never been arrested. This is all political madness!

“Justice is imperfect.” True, but what’s imperfect is that Floyd was still out roaming the streets and NOT in prison as he was a career criminal with many convictions that would have keep anyone else locked up for years. But because Liberal Judges keep letting these people out to re and then re-offend those like Floyd feel they are free to commit all manner of violent crimes because they know that, even if apprehended, they will face no punishment. And had Floyd simply followed the orders given to him by the Police, he would still be very much alive today and free to re-offend!

I’m sorry, but there are better black men than George Floyd shot and killed every day of the week by other black on the streets of places like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and most other Democrat controlled big cities. But where’s the outrage from Jones about that? Jones needs to stay in how own lane and help clean up black neighborhoods. I’ve been pulled over maybe 3 times in my 53 years of driving. I have only had one ticket in all of that time. Why? Because I’m respectful and I follow instructions. And I might add, it had nothing to do with the fact that I’m white.

Personally, I have no problem with describing this entire circus as a travesty of justice. And I’m sure that Mr. Jones would say that I’m a racist for doing do. A drug addicted serial criminal is now viewed as being some sort of hero while real heroes go ignored. Take, for example, Victor Glover, a pilot on the first operational flight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon to the International Space Station. He is a commander in the U.S. Navy where he pilots an F/A-18 and he was a crew member of ISS Expedition 64, and served as a station systems flight engineer. Oh, and by the way, he’s black.

But Mr. Glover is not a criminal nor is he a drug addict, and he didn’t receive $27 million from the city of Minneapolis. Nor was his family entertained at the White House, and those on the radical left have likely never even heard of him. That would be because he fails to meet the criteria used by those on the left when choosing who they identify as being their heroes. That level of recognition is reserved for those ‘special’ ones like Floyd. In fact, even if they did know of him, they would likely not be all that impressed, and also would likely accuse him of not being black ‘enough.’ 

The verdict was never going to be different. Not from the moment video of the incident was made to go viral. And oddly enough, the man who actually killed Floyd, a drug dealer named Morris Hall, who was in the car with Floyd, and had sold him fentanyl-laced Percocet, is, I think, still awaiting trial. Chauvin's defense wanted Hall to testify, because that would have revealed the actual reason Floyd died. The fact that Hall played any role in the death Floyd, selling him the drugs that killed him, was never given serious consideration. Chauvin was a sacrificial ‘pig’ to appease the mob.

We need to always remember and never forget that what our government did to Derek Chauvin, under the right circumstances, they can do to anyone. For proof of that one need look no further than what has happened to the so-called MAGA ‘insurrectionists’ (those unarmed Americans without criminal records who entered and left Capitol Hill without breaking a single thing). And many of whom are currently rotting in prison on trumped up charges that could keep them in prison for years. And with many now having to submit to an reeducation process before being released. Think about that!

‘COMMIE’ VAN JONES, CLAIMS, “*PRESIDENT ‘CREEPY JOE’ DEMONSTRATES A DEEPER KIND OF PATRIOTISM…”


Is there no limit to the imbecilic drivel that those on the left will peddle in what has been, and continues to be, their ongoing effort to convince normal folks that there was simply no need for Democrats to resort to cheating in the 2020 election because of the millions of ‘patriotic’ Americans who saw in ‘Creepy Joe’ Biden something that their country was so sorely lacking under President Trump. Which of course brings me to that rabid leftwinger Van Jones who, during, CNN’s coverage of ‘Creepy Joe’s first prime time address as *president, just this past Thursday, once again did his very best to portray ‘Creepy Joe’ Biden as something that he most definitely is not!

Jones actually referred to ‘Creepy Joe’s address on the ‘Chinese virus’ as a calling to a “deeper patriotism.” Now I’m quite sure that most folks will remember this genius, this self-avowed Communist, as the guy who got the boot as ‘BO’s ‘Green’ Czar after a video surfaced of him pondering the eradication of three million capitalists if they couldn’t be properly re-educated into his warped way of thinking. For sure, get me some of that “deeper patriotism.” What the Hell is Jones even talking about?  And to think, ‘Creepy Joe’ Biden spent 47 years in Washington, and most of his new staff, and cabinet, are of the very same twisted mentality as is Jones himself.

Jones said, “I just think that he is the guy we need right now. When he talked about I’m going to heal the soul of America, a lot of people thought that was some corny stuff. But to see the president of the United States standing up there, he didn’t say you need me. He said I need you. I need you. I mean, my God, that is —isn’t that it? We need each other. And then the inclusivity. It’s the little touches. He didn’t just say the states. He said and the tribes and the territories. He talked about rural America. He’s got money in there for rural Americans. He talked about corporations coming together.” No, *president ‘Creepy Joe’ is the very LAST thing America needs.

Anyway, Jones continued saying, “And he stuck up for the Asian-American community that’s been living a horror for the entire time. But there was nothing about it where he was taking shots at anybody. He didn’t blame the other party for not being there. He told the country that we can get this done. And it was just — the tone was different. Tangibly it’s different in terms of who he’s helping. But this is exactly what we need right now.” He added, “I think it’s a deeper kind of patriotism. There’s this kind of cheaper patriotism that separates the American people from America’s government and says, I love America’s people, I hate America’s government.”

Jones went on to say, “He said the government is us. It’s a democracy. The government is us. And he’s calling for a whole of government and whole of society approach. When he’s bragging on those competitors, ‘I’ve got two corporations that are competing, and they’re helping us. We’re working together,’ those are the kind of touches that kind of just suggest we can start helping each other.” You have to ask yourself what it might be that this guy is either smoking, snorting or shooting up, because nothing of what he’s saying makes even a lick of sense. It’s all, to use a favorite word of *president ‘Creepy Joe,’ nothing but a bunch of leftist malarkey!

For anyone still wondering why Democrats are viewed as being such blatant haters of America, Jones’ comments regarding ‘Creepy Joe’s address illustrate the reason in rather stark clarity! Especially when you stop to consider it’s been in less than 60 days that ‘Creepy Joe’ has destroyed America’s energy independence, ruined women’s sports, taken away the livelihoods of tens of thousands of hard-working Americans, invited tens of thousands of illegal immigrants into our country, and all with guaranteed immunity for willingly breaking our laws. At the rate he’s going there will not be much of America left when he’s done. How is that a form of “patriotism?”

“Deeper Patriotism?” What the Hell is that anyway? After the Democrats did the best they could to ensure the ‘Chinese Virus’ would spread across the entire country courtesy of the riots they both encouraged and supported, and then disenfranchised 75+ Million Americans courtesy of a fraudulent election, there can be no unity and no amount of patriotism, deep or otherwise, will ever make us ‘cooperate’ with them. The Democrats are a cancer, a cancer that has been killing this country for decades. And the only truly effective cure is a total rejection of their radical leftwing agenda and demagoguery and a relentless struggle and opposition to their ideas and goals.

Jones is another of those who seems to have a rather bizarre notion of what kind of behavior reflects actual patriotism and what demonstrates a clear hatred of America, with it’s the latter that is routinely spewed by almost every Democrat or Progressive butt-wipe in the country. They just don't get it. We HATE what they stand for. And we hate every corrupt, dissembling, anti-American thing they stand for, and we will not somehow be convinced into joining with them in their effort to destroy the country that we love. The true pandemic that needs to be brought to a quick and speedy end in this country is the pandemic called social progressivism and political correctness.

As I said earlier, nothing says “patriotism” quite like destroying America’s energy independence, wiping out thousands of jobs, identifying half the country as being nothing more than domestic terrorists, and telling people “just do what we tell you to do and trust the government to have your best interests at heart no matter how much damage we do to your life.” Yup, *president ‘Creepy Joe’ Biden is just so damn “patriotic” that he destroyed thousands of jobs on his very first day in office. He’s so “patriotic” that he is allowing illegals to swarm into this country bringing a multitude of diseases, not the least concerning is many are positive for the ‘Chinese virus.’

Perception is the glasses through which we all view life. Obviously, Jones ‘glasses’ are rose colored in favor of a guy who has to take three days off in order to prepare for a 20 minute television speech. The same guy who steals credit from his predecessor who put into place all the pieces, regarding ridding us of the ‘Chinese virus’ that he needed. In fact, he actually criticized the former president for inaction. Jones is so overtly partisan, he’s not the least bit credible. This of course won’t prevent the Communist News Network (CNN) from using his opinion to infect the minds of those individuals stupid enough to watch the garbage that CNN puts out as news.

Jones, and those Democrat politicians who share his bizarre view of things, see more government control and less individual freedom as somehow being ‘patriotic.’ It goes without saying that Democrats have come to possess nothing in the way of morals or values. They want the nanny state, as they see it not only as way to institute ‘fairness and equality’ but also as a way to increase their odds of winning elections because of voters becoming addicted to their government ‘benefits.’ Capitalism, not Socialism’ is what made America GREAT, and it’s because of the radical leftwing agenda of the Democrat Party that this country continues to spiral out of control.

VAN JONES, ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE RADICAL LEFT…


I’m sure everyone has heard, by now, that Rand Paul has officially declared himself to be a candidate for president in 2016.  But as I am not that much of a fan of the Kentucky Senator, that is not what I will be discussing here. The subject of this post will instead be on the fact that CNN, aka the Communist News Network, actually saw fit to bring in Van Jones, a man who has been known to dabble in communism, championed all manner of 9/11 conspiracy theories, and who was, however briefly, Barry “Almighty’s” "green jobs" czar, in to evaluate Paul’s political aspirations.  When Carol Costello asked Jones for his thoughts regarding Paul’s outreach to the black community, Jones only reply was to use the opportunity provided him to slander Republicans in general.  Jones said, “You know, the Republicans have a very tough branding issue when it comes to people of color. Since that they are not in touch. They don't care about some of these communities. I think Rand Paul has been the big exception to that over the past couple of years.”

Jones went on to point out that the Republican Party hasn't attracted the black vote which, while stating the obvious, begs the question, why do CNN commentators fail to emphasize the demographics that Democrats haven't had much, if any, success in reaching out to?  And in using Jones’ failed logic, if the Republican Party's failed outreach to minorities means they don’t care about them, does it then mean that the Democrats’ poor outreach to Christian fundamentalists is proof positive that Democrats don’t care much for conservative Christians?  Despite his applauding Paul for not being one of those “out of touch” Republicans who “don’t care about” minority communities, Jones warned that his extreme views may keep the progressive vote out of his reach, “I think there are other issues though that for young progressives, once they look behind that initial foray, they are going to be concerned. He's rabidly anti-choice. He's against a woman's right to choose when it comes to rape and incest. That's going to be off putting for I think a section of young people.”

Why Jones is talking about the progressive vote when Paul is pursuing the Republican platform remains a mystery.  Also unexplained is how Jones can find the idea of not forcing children to pay for the crimes of their fathers to be a “rabid” position. Especially since the vast majority of aborted children are minorities, and Planned Parenthood, one of the largest abortion mills was founded by a woman who was associated with eugenics as well as with the Ku Klux Klan.  Jones concludes that Rand “is not going to be an easy candidate for either side to deal with because he's so unusual in the mix of views that he has and he has tried to reach out and help that Republican branding problem. I think it has been effective when it comes to young people of color.” In other words, Jones predicts that Rand will alienate Republicans because he likes minorities and he will alienate progressives (who he might not have wanted in the first place) because he has the audacity to believe that children should not pay for the sins of their parents.

Let’s look at Jones’ statement regarding the lack of Republican outreach to blacks for a second.  If we do compare it to the lack of Democrats reaching out to Christian fundamentalists, is there sufficient motivation for either of these groups, blacks or Christians, to do a little outreach of their own.  And which group might stand to gain the most from doing so, the blacks in reaching out to the Republicans or the Christians in reaching out to the Democrats?  I think the answer to that is rather obvious.  And, I would argue, if blacks were to ever find within themselves a willingness to think for themselves I’m confident that they would dump the Democrat Party and in very short order.  And by doing so they would be lifting a tremendous weight off of their backs. I would also argue that both of these groups have much more in common with the Republican Party.  And imagine if they were ever to unite under the banner of the GOP, and become allies in the fight to take back our country back.  What would old Van have to say about that, I wonder?

COMMUNIST VAN JONES, WORKS TO DEFEND OBAMA…


Ya know, these days it seems that no matter where you choose to look what you’re apt to see and/or hear are never-ending stream of wacked out liberals expending what is a great deal of time and energy doing nothing more than to claim that any and all opposition to Barry’s blatantly socialist policies is based on nothing more than purely personal reasons or as having as it’s source something as insignificant as Barry’s race. But in reality, opposition to both Barry, and his leftist policies, stems not from his race but from something far deeper and far more important, belief in our Constitution.

Now one of the most recent examples of this rather imbecilic behavior came from none other than Barry’s former green jobs czar, and that self-proclaimed communist, Van Jones. It was during something called a roundtable discussion, the topic of which was the rather botched rollout of Obamacare, on ABC’s "This Week with George "Stephy" Stephanopolous," that Jones actually went so far as to say that Barry "Almighty’s" detractors actually suffer from a condition that he called, "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Well, that’s not exactly accurate, if we ‘suffer’ from anything, it’s more like ‘Love of Country’.

Jones said, "It's silly season. Literally, they have this sort of Obama Derangement Syndrome where Obama is this absent, weak, ineffectual dictator and tyrant who's destroying America." Well look, no offense to this moron, Mr. Jones, but all one really has to do here is nothing more than to provide just a cursory glance over all that has transpired during the last 4 and a half years, to be able to recognize, and pretty quickly, that those ‘qualities’ now being attributed to Barry, are pretty much right on the mark. After all, he did come into office with the promise to "fundamentally transform" America.

Now as many of you have, by now, probably heard, unless you’ve been living under a rock, the Obamacare website, Healthcare.gov, has been plagued with all manner of, what some have politely described as being, glitches since it was first unveiled back on Oct. 1. Barry has since been criticized for supposedly not knowing about the potential problems with the site and then taking the necessary action to quickly getting them fixed. After all, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, is his signature piece of legislation. But I guess Jones is of the opinion that Barry should bear none of the responsibility for the debacle.

Because according to Jones, "No matter what this president does, they roll out a narrative that says either he's absent, and he's not paying attention or he's a dictator and tyrant trying to steal your rights. These things can't be true at the same time." Of course they can be, and they are. Now, Jones, as you may recall, resigned from his White House environmental adviser position back in 2009 amid controversy over some rather unsavory statements he made and some obviously questionable behavior described as being social activism but that was in reality, inciting violence.

Jones went on to say, "Part of what's going on - what I'm disturbed about - is I know this president is not a hands-off leader. He is famously engaged. I’ll tell you what – when you work in the White House, you write something, you know one person in that building’s going to read it, and his name is President Obama." Adding, "And so something went wrong here, but the idea that somehow he’s inattentive, he’s not paying attention – all that’s ludicrous." Well, if Barry is not guilty of being inattentive, then the only other possibility is that he knew all along that this website was going to be exactly the mess that it turned out to be.

Look, at the risk of offending Mr. Jones, Barry really isn’t any kind of a leader, hands-off or otherwise. It’s been claimed by many different people that Barry knew nothing about the website problems, he knew nothing about ‘Fast & Furious’, he knew nothing about NSA listening in on foreign leaders, he knew nothing about the IRS making things difficult for conservative groups, and he knew nothing about Benghazi. I would think this rather strange behavior for someone who Mr. Jones choses to describe as being famously engaged or as a hands-on leader. But then what do I know, I’m not a communist.

AND NOW, MORE FROM OBAMA'S FORMER "GREEN CZAR"...


Van Jones, I'm sure you all remember him, has now offered up a prediction for those of us who have been watching all of this Occupy Wall Street movement nonsense. The sleazy Mr. Jones says, “You haven’t seen anything yet.” Barry's former “green jobs czar," an ardent supporter of the Occupy movement since its inception, said in an interview with the Communist News Network (CNN), that the movement is ready to evolve into the areas of politics and policy-making, much like the Tea Party did in 2010. Again with comparisons to the Tea Party. When looking at any of the images of these various OWS group, one sees no similarities with the Tea Party crowd.



“You’re going to see an evolution now as you go from protests, keep the protests, but now expand into politics,” Jones said. “And if you thought there was an earthquake in 2010 when the Tea Party moved into politics, wait until this 99 percent movement moves over into politics. You haven’t seen anything yet.” So in what was nothing more than a very thinly veiled threat, Mr. Jones seems to be telling us that we had best be preparing ourselves for what is sure to be an escalating of what we have already been witness to. So is he trying to intimidate us, telling us that we need to be very wary of these crowds of lazy malcontents?


Jones said the movement is “going to be recruiting 2,000 candidates to run for office now under this 99 percent banner“ as Occupy Wall Street enters ”phase two.” From what I've seen of those who make up these groups of parasites, it seems like a rather shallow gene pool from which viable candidates could be recruited. But hey, what do I know? However, in looking over the names of prominent members of the Democrat Party, generally speaking, the intellect is pretty low and the level of arrogance is pretty high, so maybe Jones is right. But I think it safe to say that he'll have a pretty difficult time finding candidates who will have any level of mainstream appeal.


Describing things as only a true believing leftist can, Mr. Jones said, “Phase two, you move from anger to answers. You move from pointing out the problem to pointing out the solutions.” He added, “What you’re going to see now is you have the Occupy movement at the center, that’s the beating heart.” Jones said despite New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s eviction of protesters from Zuccotti Park, “you can‘t put toothpaste back in the tube and you can’t evict an idea.” “This movement is about much more than just one park or one tactic and one city,” he said. Ya know, again with the attempt to intimidate. It's all these goons understand.


Asked about the violence that has plagued parts of the movement, Jones said any violence associated with Occupy Wall Street “whether it’s street violence or police violence, needs to be called out and has been called out and denounced.” He added, however, that there has been more violence outside the demonstrations than inside, and that Occupy groups should be given “credit for having been overwhelmingly peaceful.” “And most of the people who have been hurt — unfortunately, whether you’re talking about the veteran who was put in a coma or the reporters that were hurt yesterday — were hurt by our law enforcement,” he charged.


Asked by CNN anchorette Suzanne Malveaux asked the esteemed Mr. Jones if he might consider becoming a leader or spokesman for the outspokenly “leaderless” movement, Jones said no. “We’ve learned that leader-centered movements don’t work. This is about a leader-ful movement. It’s not leaderless. It’s leader centric. It’s leader-ful,” he said. You know, guys like this character think they're just so much smarter than the rest of us. They really think that we don't see what's being attempted here. They're still trying to paint this thing as being some sort of "grass roots" enterprise. And it isn't, no matter how much clowns like Jones wish it were so.

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF OBAMA'S FORMER "GREEN CZAR"...



Speaking at the George Soros funded Center for American Progress (CAP) on Friday, former Barry "Almighty" Green Jobs Czar and current political "activist," Van Jones, praised the Arab Spring democracy movement in the Middle East as “people powered” and “non-violent” and called for the United States to follow suit. I must say, Mr. Jones must have a rather strange definition for "non-violent." Anyway, Mr. Jones said, “They had the Arab spring, which was a people-powered, non-violent opportunity to change the conversation in those countries.” Adding, “We should have an American Autumn – people-powered, non-violent.” “But let’s change the conversation and get more voices in,” said Jones, who is, which should come as a surprise to no one, a fellow at CAP and used his most recent appearance to promote what he calls, his American Dream movement. Which is a little something dreamt by Mr. Jones that is essentially left-wing in its purpose and nothing more than political organization run another liberal group heavily financed by George Soros, MoveOn.org Civic Action, in partnership with dozens of other liberal groups ranging from the Hip Hop Caucus to the Sierra Club and Planned Parenthood. The Hip Hop Caucus? Really?



Jones, who described himself as a communist in the 1990s, also praised those loons taking part in the Occupy Wall Street protests that have spread to cities outside of Manhattan, including to Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. Protesters in the plaza. This odd assortment of freaks that has earned the support of Mr. Jones runs the gamut, ranging from animal rights activists and people offering “pagan circles” to such anti-war groups such as Code Pink. The area is littered with the belongings of the protesters, including the sleeping bags of those who are camping at the site. Jones encouraged guests at the CAP event to join his movement and to support the Wall Street protestors, who he said have “moral clarity.” Moral clarity, a rather odd way to describe what afflicts these morons. “Join the American Dream movement,” Jones said. “Help the Occupy Wall Street movement.” “Keep growing it in a positive, non-violent and hopeful way,” Jones said. “When people speak truth to power, that takes courage,” Jones said. “I admire these young people so much.” “People say, ‘What the heck, these young people, I can’t understand their messaging,’” Jones said. “Look, they may not have message clarity yet.” But “they have moral clarity,” Jones said. “And that’s something. That’s something in this world.” What a bunch of drivel.


Jones also promoted his movement’s 10-point “Contract for the American Dream,” which includes the items listed below as they are listed on Mr. Jones' website:


1. Invest in America's Infrastructure: Rebuild our crumbling bridges, dams, levees, ports, water and sewer lines, railways, roads, and public transit. We must invest in high-speed Internet and a modern, energy-saving electric grid. These investments will create good jobs and rebuild America. To help finance these projects, we need national and state infrastructure banks.


2. Create 21st Century Energy Jobs: We should invest in American businesses that can power our country with innovative technologies like wind turbines, solar panels, geothermal systems, hybrid and electric cars, and next-generation batteries. And we should put Americans to work making our homes and buildings energy efficient. We can create good, green jobs in America, address the climate crisis, and build the clean energy economy.


3. Invest in Public Education: We should provide universal access to early childhood education, make school funding equitable, invest in high-quality teachers, and build safe, well-equipped school buildings for our students. A high-quality education system, from universal preschool to vocational training and affordable higher education, is critical for our future and can create badly needed jobs now.


4. Offer Medicare for All: We should expand Medicare so it's available to all Americans, and reform it to provide even more cost-effective, quality care. The Affordable Care Act is a good start and we must implement it -- but it's not enough. We can save trillions of dollars by joining every other industrialized country -- paying much less for health care while getting the same or better results.


5. Make Work Pay: Americans have a right to fair minimum and living wages, to organize and collectively bargain, to enjoy equal opportunity, and to earn equal pay for equal work. Corporate assaults on these rights bring down wages and benefits for all of us. They must be outlawed.


6. Secure Social Security: Keep Social Security sound, and strengthen the retirement, disability, and survivors' protections Americans earn through their hard work. Pay for it by removing the cap on the Social Security tax, so that upper-income people pay into Social Security on all they make, just like the rest of us.


7. Return to Fairer Tax Rates: End, once and for all, the Bush-era tax giveaways for the rich, which the rest of us -- or our kids -- must pay eventually. Also, we must outlaw corporate tax havens and tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas. Lastly, with millionaires and billionaires taking a growing share of our country's wealth, we should add new tax brackets for those making more than $1 million each year.


8. End the Wars and Invest at Home: Our troops have done everything that's been asked of them, and it's time to bring them home to good jobs here. We're sending $3 billion each week overseas that we should be investing to rebuild America.


9. Tax Wall Street Speculation: A tiny fee of a twentieth of 1% on each Wall Street trade could raise tens of billions of dollars annually with little impact on actual investment. This would reduce speculation, "flash trading," and outrageous bankers' bonuses -- and we'd have a lot more money to spend on Main Street job creation.


10. Strengthen Democracy: We need clean, fair elections -- where no one's right to vote can be taken away, and where money doesn't buy you your own member of Congress. We must ban anonymous political influence, slam shut the lobbyists' revolving door in D.C., and publicly finance elections. Immigrants who want to join in our democracy deserve a clear path to citizenship. We must stop giving corporations the rights of people when it comes to our elections. And we must ensure our judiciary's respect for the Constitution. Together, we will reclaim our democracy to get our country back on track.


Anybody hearing anything here that sounds eerily familiar when compared to what we've been hearing from Barry "Almighty?" These items sound remarkably similar to those policies being advocated not only by Barry "Almighty," but the Democrats in Congress as well. So when you have an individual such as Mr. Jones, a self-professed communist, and apparently proudly so, who is pushing the same agenda that we hear coming from the Democrat Party, what exactly should that tell you. Does Mr. Jones' "Contract for the American Dream" equate to that which Barry "Almighty" has referred to as "Hope and Change?" And isn't the philosophy of one twisted leftist "community agitator" pretty much the same for all twisted leftist "community agitators," both past and present? Kind of like, birds of a feather flock together, hence the reason behind Barry's wanting this guy on his team in the beginning before being forced to chuck him over the side. This just goes to show you just how deep the problem that we have with Barry, goes. That the things we hear coming from him so very closely resemble those things we hear coming from a character like Jones, should be considered by everyone as being more than just a bit unnerving.
