You can tell a lot about a person based on the company they keep.  Barack Obama is no exception.  In his past, Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.  In the White House, Eric Holder and Rahm Emanuel ( at least in the beginning of his administration).  But Dear Ruler also has the privilege of appointing various positions in our government, like a green jobs czar.  One of the main pillars of Obama’s first term was green energy and he made the promise of creating 5 million green jobs in his first term.  So who does he choose to be his green jobs czar … the man in charge of one of the main aspects of his entire presidency?  A self-avowed communist by the name of Van Jones.  Now that he isn’t working for Obama, this propagandist has found a new home for his communist lecturing: the OccuTards.  Just for our amusement, here are some of the more asinine Van Jones comments that have made headlines in the last few weeks.  Remember while reading these … this was Barack Obama’s pick to be in charge of “green jobs” that were supposed to save our economy!

Van Jones: Yeah, I’ve “experimented” with far-Left political ideologies…

Van Jones says he’s done more for America “in two months than a lot of these people have done in their lives”

Van Jones: Tea Party is “cheap patriotism,” Occupy Wall Street inspired by “deep patriotism”…

Van Jones rants against “libertarians,” calling out his free-market opponents as “anti-immigrant, bigots”

Van Jones on Trayvon Martin Shooting: “You can draw a direct line back to the Koch brothers”…

Van Jones: GOP “quasi-treasonous” for opposing Obama’s Solyndra loans…

Van Jones: "We overestimated our achievement in 2008"

 That is from your former “green jobs” czar, Obama’s first choice to head up one of his economic pillars for his presidency.  Is it any wonder we are in this heap?
