CONSERVATIVES ARE AMERICA'S REAL TERRORISTS WATCHING CONSERVATIVES DESTROY AMERICA

THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012 Web Site Hit Counters Van Jones Blasts the Conservative Faux Patriots Who Are Wrecking America Conservatives: Put Down the Red, White & Blue Wrecking Ball FEEDJIT LIVE TRAFFIC FEED What should Democrats compromise on this year? Absolutely nothing, says Van Jones.

VAN JONES

Founder & President, Rebuild the Dream; Former Special Advisor, White House Council on Environmental Quality

I can't think of a single issue that Democrats should drop. Which American value should Democrats betray, “America the Beautiful?” Should we say, “Listen, we don't care about ‘America the Beautiful’ anymore. We’re going to get in bed with the oil spillers and the clear- cutters and the mountaintop removers and the people who want to destroy America’s beauty for profit?” I don't want to betray that value. I’ve taught my kid to sing that song. I should probably stick up for it.

Which American values should we betray? You’ve got the Statue of Liberty. Maybe we should just knock that over and build a little mall there, a little strip mall where the statue used to be, so we can join the anti-immigrant crowd. No. The statute says, “Give me your tired, give me your poor, give your huddled masses who yearn to breathe free.” If that sentiment was good enough for our grandparents, it should be good enough for our grandchildren. The color of the immigrants might change. Our national values should not change. We are a nation of immigrants. We should be respectful of the contribution of immigrants. And you cannot be an anti-immigrant bigot and a patriot at the same time. Those are things that don't go together.

We’re supposed to give that up? We’re supposed to give up the idea of liberty and justice for all? Oh, okay, we believe in liberty and justice for all, just not for the gay people. You know, just leave them out. Or not for those poor urban black kids. We’ll leave them out. We’ll give them

justice based on their hoodies they're wearing rather than based on what they’re actually doing. I mean, which American value are we Live Traffic Feed supposed to betray?

I’m not going to betray any of them. I think we should have liberty and See your visitors justice for all. I think we should honor not just the Statue of Liberty as in RealTime! Get the symbol but as also the substance that that statue stands for. I think we Free Live Traffic Feed should believe in “America the Beautiful" and defend America’s beauty. Get Feedjit Now! I’m not willing to give up any American values to appease people who, A visitor from Olathe, if you gave up those values, they would move ten more feet to the right Kansas viewed anyway. "Conservatives Are America's Real Anybody who is in public life needs to find out what they believe in. Terrorists: Van Jones And public life will test you. You may think you know what you believe Blasts the Conservative until you get put over those hot coals of public life. Some people believe Faux Patriots Who Are that America is just this land of individuals who have a lot of liberty Wrecking America " 0 and should be left alone because that's how we got so great. I can't find secs ago any evidence that that's a true story.

not going to let people take a wrecking ball, paint it red, white and blue and smash down every American achievement for the last century and call that patriotism. In my view, it’s not patriotism. In my view, FRIENDS WITH BRAINS patriotism, and frankly being a conservative, would mean you would Air America conserve the achievements of our parents and our grandparents. They Belief Net - Steven Waldman achieved the American century, the American middle class, the Bill Maher American way of life. It includes an appropriately active government. It Black Planet also includes a dynamic private sector. It also includes community Buzz Flash responsibility and individual responsibility. But all of those together, CBS News 60 Minutes not just free markets and starve America’s government so it can't do its CBS News 60 Minutes job. Charlie Rose - PBS - The Fix And so we have a responsibility, I think, to go forward and stand up for what we believe in. Whether we’re running for office, like some are, or Common Dreams whether we’re not, like myself, we have a responsibility to defend the Conservative Bloggers America that we inherited and to make sure that people calling Daily Beast themselves patriots don't smash it dow Daily Kos
