Van Jones: There Is No Tea Party

[CaféAuLait]

Personally, I think Van Jones is a great American patriot. Please feel free to quote that...

LOL

Of course you do, no surprise there. Van Jones an admitted communist goes against everything the US was founded on.

Actually, I would much prefer an ethical communist system over a corrupt capitalist system like we have now. Bring on the commies...

Sounds provocative, doesn’t it? But Van took the packed room at the Mitchell Kapor Foundation through a mental exercise:

“There is no Tea Party. You can’t get in a cab and say, ‘Take me to Tea Party headquarters’ because there is no headquarters…The Tea Party is an open-sourced brand that affiliates use but don’t own.”

Who are those affiliates?

They’re small organizations that have been around for a long time, but they were able to all come under the umbrella of the Tea Party brand.

They’re open-sourced, which means they work collaboratively. The Tea Party’s “Contract From America” was written by approximately 50,000 people working online through a wiki. Interestingly, Van pointed out, even though the Tea Party’s rhetoric is entrenched in the idea of “Rugged Individualism”, they act collectively to exert their political will and power.

However, while the Tea Party talks individualism and acts collectively, Progressive movements have long talked solidarity yet enacted individualist approaches. If Progressives can learn to act collectively, Van explained, the ideas can scale more rapidly and have a much bigger impact.

Progressives HAVE learned to act collectively. They call it the Democrat Party

Nope, true Progressives require more than the DNC currently offers.

Liberals miss the point as to why their ideas do not resonate or inspire passion. It isn't that progressives haven't been able to act collectively, that is the essence the left--it's that these ideas fly in the face of reality.

The Tea Party is simple the oldest most easily misled dupes. Van was almost a commie in college for a minute, so nothing else matters. Probably the most character assassinated black guy. Heil Rush and Sean O'really...pffffft!

Do tell. It was neither Rush nor Hannity that nailed Van Jones. Lord you are stupid Mr. Masters in History dupe.

It was Beck who helped destroy Obama's faux Green Czar by utilizing data gathered by by Trevor Loudon.

I don't think he's destroyed him at all. He just asked questions about why there was an avowed communist, one who has never rejected it, is near the white house.

Communism is by definition corrupt.

Here is a little of your opposition--and if Nov. 2010 didn't tell you anything--then God help you.

Those people are not really there in that photo. They do not exist.

Gawd bless that young American patriot. My heart bleeds for him...

Yeah, we saw some of the "opposition" in action when they were spitting on Congressmen and shouting faggot and ******. It was a proud day in American history...

Hmm No one has collected on Andrew Breitbart's reward for proof of that, have they?

nobody forces you to live in this hell hole.

 

[whitehall]

Is Van Jones emerging as the leader of the OWS movement? It's interesting that Obama appointed the communist to be on his "green jobs" board. It is reasonable to make the connection between Obama, Bill Ayers and the "green" anarchist movement.

Van's spot on...once again!

Great thread.

Funny. Why would they lower themselves to Breitbart's cesspool...? Anyway, there is video of one black Congressman reacting to being spit on and others heard the faggot/****** shouts.

In response to your statement of you wanting to move to Russia--hey there is no one here that's going to get in you way--- MOVE

You know libs never deal with the truth. Why bother asking, they will just dredge up a new lie.

 

[Lakhota]

Duh, I don't recall saying I wanted to move to Russia. Anyway, China will be here soon... I like Chinese food...
