Nancy Pelosi told democrats self-described communist Van Jones is “the leader of the future.”
She’s probably right.
Nancy Pelosi lauds Obama’s former commie green czar Van Jones as “a leader of the future.”
SF Gate reported:
Van Jones, the former Obama Administration green czar who resigned in controversy, appears on the fast track to a political comeback — emerging as a star at this weekend’s California Democratic convention and lauded by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as a “leader of the future.”
Jones, who as head of an activist group called “Rebuild the Dream” has become a leading voice of the Occupy movement, was given the star speaking slot to address hundreds at the kickoff Friday night reception here sponsored by state party chair John Burton.
To the cheers of the grassroots activists, Jones endorsed a “millionaires’ tax” as a means of firing up younger voters in the 2012 election, saying “that will get their attention.”
While Jones didn’t specify if he was referring to a specific ballot initiative titled the “Millionaire’s Tax,” or the general idea of taxing the top 1 percent income earners, he argued that under-30 voters critical to Democratic successes in 2012 will find appealing “the idea that the people that already climbed that ladder (of success) will give something back.”

I imagine Nancy expects Van Jones will be our new leader once the SEIU is named the official administrator of all elections.
Alana commented:
If the younger generation doesn’t already know that the top 1% “gives something back” (I don’t expect them to know they pay, what is it, 40% of the taxes? and the top 5% 70% or something?) – then they really are stupid.

One Communist endorsing another.
Justice Beaver commented:
Nancy is either a complete senile idiot, or a dastardly villain.

#2-That is what’s scary.Too many (not all)of the generation coming up know nothing except their cell phones,iPods,hooking up and “I don’t want to work,just gimme a paycheck”. They have no moral code or ethics,work or otherwise, because they haven’t been taught. I feel for the younger folks that are trying,they have an uphill climb for they are out-numbered by the others.
Seems as if the males are coddled while the females are steamrollers. Up is down and black is white.

Justice, it’s possible she is both. A perfect storm of evil and idiocy.

Sorry, SanFranNan, not of my future if I have anything to say about it. I will be working like a dog this election to defeat Obama. I’m that concerned for my future and that of the country.
I’ve had it up to here [author points to a location well above his head] with Democrats. The Democratic Party is the enemy within.

Van Jones carries a very large chip on his shoulder for white America. The anti-American commie surrounds himself with students and prisoners. He is behind OWS and Oakland his is example of how it would be under his leadership. Violence, riots, and thuggery. It is beyond my understanding how a professed communist is able to woo students? I can understand the prisoners…
Blackbird commented:
No matter which way it goes down he will never be a leader for the future. Either we take our country back from their grasping Communist hands, or he gets eaten by his own revolution. The revolution eats its own always comes true, the useful idiots know it, but they always believe it will be someone else that gets eaten. Once it goes down a wildfire like him would be far too dangerous to let live. The only question is whether they would come for his group or the Academia first.

NOT IN MY WORLD. COMMIE A………..
Economan commented:
Van Jones advocates for a system of govenment he’s never lived under. Many refugees from Communist countries can tell you that they left hell. Unless of course YOU are in charge of a Communist country, in which case they live like kings in a slave state. That’s what he means by “equality”. Everyone is equally a slave to the Dear Leader.
Van Jones can go sraight to hell himself.

the OW’S grew up using their parents credit cards…. so of course they expect the government to be Big Brother and keep the gravy training rolling for them….
arnonerik commented:
Pelosi is a dedicated revolutionary and is working hard to bring about change that most Americans would find to be repugnant. She needs to be removed from any position that gives her any power, Influence or control of money. She is dangerous.
Shawnet commented:
Jones speaks as though those who have “made it” in his mind’s eye don’t give back. The fool wouldn’t have had the avenues open to him that he currently treads without a whole lot of “giving back” by those who have “made it”. A simple thank you would be nice ;o)
Militant Conservative commented:
Van Jones is an evil lil communist MF er
Nothing he does is worth a squirt of piss.
LarryG commented:
This malignant societal cancer thinks he’s going to be one of the big dogs when the great social revolution destroys our country.There are innumerable caskets and mass graves in Communist countries that contain the bodies of big operators like Jones. Stalin, Mao and Castro had no compunction about liquidating their opposition or perceived enemies and threats and that behavior will continue under Jones’ proposed system. I don’t think he has the intellect to grasp it. It’s on display right now in the OWS movement if anyone would care to notice. I would welcome the emergence of an Iceman to tend to Jones.
tommy mc donnell commented:
“giving back” are political code words for giving to the greedy politicans. the only way this guy is a “leader of the future” is if our future is marxist.
Patty commented:
He is the black Gore. Profits on the weak and uneducated with stars in their eyes. He is a liar, thief and a con and slick person. Combination for a real Snake oil salesman.
Period.
Molon Labe commented:
Let us tax the 47% of the nation that pays zero in income taxes. No one should get a free ride. I’ll bet taxing these people would bring a rapid halt to the free spending dhimmies once everyone had a dog in the game.

Van Jones is dangerous deranged man.

True colors shine through. I love it.
Molon labe likes to challenge everybody else’s conservatism and call names like it was the schoolyard, but here you have it in his own words.
He won’t simply stay home in protest on election day, making it one vote easier for Obama to win, but rather will proactively go out and vote Obama (to spite Romney apparently!).
Molon Labe your conservative creds are revoked. Please stop posting on this conservative blog.
But since I know you won’t, I’ll be posting this brilliant punditry of yours every time you post until I stop seeing your idiotic username.

“I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical,
communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to
be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot
of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. I was a rowdy
nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April
29th. By August, I was a communist.” ~ Van Jones
oh no.. you mean to tell me you didn’t know they keep him in the
WH basement along with all the other “bus people”.. /truth sarc/

Nancy Pelosi, the same Nancy Pelosi who used dialectic process
a.k.a— the consensus process
a.k.a.— a soviet
a.k.a— treason to our form of government
to facilitate the heathcare law in broad daylight before Congress and over 300,000,000 American’s eyes, the same Pelosi thinks she can predict a communist as a leader of the future?
Whatever would give her that idea?

Alan they aren’t stupid, they are ignorant. All part of the Dummy down America Program and hopes of the government to pull one over on them and that they are not educated or smart enough to know the difference. Gee We have the anti Christ in office whats next the false prophet.
