All over but the whining?

I happened to twice catch Glenn Beck's show with the interview with David Horowitz and the revelations about Van Jones.

I love David Horowitz. I remember when he was a radical and an environmentalist, and I remember watching him change his mind... very happily. He's a very intelligent man. He also speaks very honestly about the radicalism of the 1960s, the basic uselessness of it all, and how useless it still is. During the interview with Glenn Beck, for example, one of them brought up the question: Don't these guys (Obama, Van Jones, et. al.) ever think about what kind of world they're creating? Horowitz said a definite "no." He also cited how the radicals exploit the minorities and assorted "downtrodden" they pretend to be rescuing from the jaws of capitalism.

Horowitz says he know how these radicals operate because he lived it along with them. He was one of them.

I was never as close to what might be considered the power centers of the 1960s radical movement -- if ever there was such a thing -- but I understand exactly what he means. Even did a blog about it a while back.

Anyway, Van Jones today announced that he's resigning. Well, earlier this year he called Republicans a**holes, and he's also claimed that white people are poisoning emigrant workers and other minorities. Glenn Beck showed Jones' endorsement on a "9/11 truther" document -- these are the people who claim the Bush administration was behind the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

Just saw Van Jones' statement in a brief news story. He says the right is trying to "smear" him, and he has no intention of wasting time explaining his past. His past from, like 30 to 60 days ago? Or his whole, lifelong history of being a self-proclaimed communist and "community organizer" cut from the same pattern as our illustrious Comrade Osama? And "smear"? so far, most of the damning evidence against his character is stuff that's been discovered on YouTube videos. Where's the smear? No one put the words in his mouth -- only his foot in there.

I've asked before on this website: Why are the Comrade and his hoards trying to pull down the USA? I mean, what's the point, when the results of such activities have proven so disastrous in other nations? I just don't see the purpose. They're acting out of hatred, or brainlessly, just tearing down anything that exists with fingers crossed that something better will magically emerge to replace it. In short, they're knee-jerk nihilists of a sort, not half as interested in building as in destruction.

And I'm glad Van Jones is out. 'Course now there will be no end to the whining. I mean, he's black, a communist, etc. etc. Also a graduate of Yale Law School, but since that doesn't mark him as a wounded party, he probably won't be talking about that too much. Hopefully, he'll just go back to California or wherever he came from and organize another bunch of fruitcakes to snivel and complain about how hard life is. I don't care what he does, as long as he's no longer in a position to make federal policy.

I am so tired. Lots of work lately. That's a good thing, but when I go for more than three days with no more than four hours of sleep at a time, it starts to get to me.

More tomorrow, perhaps. All those Sunday morning shows to watch.... must keep up with the silly liberal commentary. They'll probably be passing out tissues....
