dunno much else about him but I'd like to think many people share the opinion

How about the statement that only white suburban kids shoot up schools and pull a Columbine and then stated that black kids would only shoot who they wanted to and not be indescriminate. Kept repeating that white kids are hurting... WTF?

Do you agree with that. You see, if you agree with someone you have to take ALL the rhetoric they spread and you must defend it.

Again, another person with no true experience being put into a position that is not vetted.

Damn!

I just sent an email to the Green Jobs Czar asking him why I have an Bachelor of Science in EHOS, have been in the environmental field for a decade and a half yet have no job!

Who is the next in line I need to send another email and resume to him demanding 'my' green job.

Hey!

I Sent the email late Friday(about 50 or so hours ago) to the White house attn Van Jones....

What are the odds I will get his job for being first in line? I didn't attach a resume though it was just an email.

You haven't listened to the CD he and Mumia abu Jamal (PA cop killer) made while he was an "activist." have you? I won't quote, but they incite violence by "people of color" against white people.

Or read about his group, STORM?

Van Jones, is an avowed communist and founder of STORM, whose philosophy says: “All of STORM's members developed a commitment to Revolutionary Marxist Policies and 3rd world communist movements.”

Deny ignorance!

Hey one less "Czar" is always a good thing in my book.

Czar
–noun
1. an emperor or king.
2. (often initial capital letter) the former emperor of Russia.
3. an autocratic ruler or leader.
4. any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field: a czar of industry.

I'd do a better job than this weiner:


I have been in the middle between the homeowners concerned about their health and the Business owners trying to use the best products* to produce the best products that will last. Tools buy vintage or antique off of ebay and buy a new one from harbor freight and see which one you would rather use and and which is still in use to give to your child when he is grown, out of teh house and needs a tool set to start with.

Rather than giving out fines and punishing businesses for making products that people want to buy how about these government agencies picking up the waste and properly process it?

Right now as it stands the DTSC, EPA and the rest of the agencies are no more than mobs looking for a company as a potential fine (They just want to wet their beaks) rather than concerned about the health of the country.

*You can buy an environmentally friendly product that lasts 1/5 the time that an unfriendly product does. (Ex: leather- I have a saddle made in 1886- not typo the post 1986 saddles if you are lucky last 10 years why? In 1986 the EPA regulations (community right to know and a lot of restrictions) hit and they could no longer use the old style tanning methods which took along time (16 weeks or so) and it took a lot of water to rinse the tannins out of the leather- you know what that tannin being rinsed out was? Oak bark - as in from a tree you know what they use now? Chromium. You could have a small amount gallon wise of a heavy metal toxin or a 5 times more of a natural acid along the lines of strong tea. But you have to buy four of the proiduct made of the chomium product because it doesn't last as long.
Don't get me stared on buying a new car as opposed to maintaining an old one. The hybrids? Not impressed - look up the fuel economy of the old Datsuns, morris minors, nash metropolitans, or the Messerschmidts, these little old cars get close to 40 MPG and this was in the1950s- there is no excuse for the hybrids bragging about getting 27 mpg per car.

I think this is great!

How could you be a Jobs Czar, but have never previously created a single job in the first place?

1 down, and a few more to go. Cass Sunnstein, and Mark Llyod shouldn't be too far behind.

Death by a 1,000 cuts.
Keep them coming.
The truth is burning the White House. Ouch!

My point is the hypocrisy being displayed needs to be addressed...
I quickly gathered a short list and it looks flawed as you pointed out.
Regardless this does not change the fact the other administrations have done the same
thing, however this is the only time I have seen such backlash to the practice.
It SMACKS OF PARTISANSHIP as these same people did not bother to be concerned before.

My response was to a conservative member who was attempting to assert that this practice was completely new to this administration. These people are "battling extremism" yet they are using tactics of the extreme, thusly trying to set a stage that
severs their extreme notions.

I want my country to get better another pole shift to extremism is not what will work for
me.

It would have been nice if all these nice folk here had been as thorough in their scrutiny of Michael (Brownie) Brown before he became the head of FEMA. He may not have been super-mega-commie like Jones but that didn't stop him from costing people their lives.

I guess we'll chalk that one up to live and learn eh?
