A little off topic.

Is Van Jones a Communist? Ive only heard him talk a couple of times as a commentator and he didn't sound like a devil to me? It sounded fairly Centrist? Am I missing something?

Not really. He was a communist, back in the mid 1990s, but he's been pushing overtly capitalist approaches to pollution and poverty for years now.

I have seen the big government that shoots down state government as Obama has done as if it is a dictatorship. Especially when the states are trying to uphold the laws of the land. The states are losing their power.

If capitalism is replaced it will be a socialist nation just as the United Soviet Socialist Republic. We will all be poor and the government will be rich as they take all money and give a small portion to each American. Good Bye Freedom, good by wealth!

I am wondering if the democrats realize what is happening to their party?


Do you think the democrats know this movement is against capitalism and for communism and spread the wealth around especially to the government?



Van Jones himself described his plan.


Vile Communist Van Jones calls for Revolution - YouTube

McCarthy is that you???

He's a "Communist" like many of the posters here are "Doctors" or "Wealthy Business owners."

I will have to look at it a little closer, only since it mildly interest me. Ive always discounted Newt Gingrich on the rRght side too, but Ive listened to him speak lately and I found it very interesting.
