Van Jones, who used to be the Greens Czar for President Obama but had to step down due to some controversial stuff he had said, was attending a rally yesterday in front of the Capital building. He was there with a group called Rebuild the Dream, to counter the Tea Party movement. According to Jones, “We are here because America doesn’t bow down to hostage taking tactics.” “America does not have a deficit because we helped grandma to much. We are not in a deficit because of social security, medicare, or medicaid. We are in a deficit because of the Bush tax cuts, and the Bush wars,” according to Jones. Jones said, “Any faction in America that would put a gun to the head of 310 million people and say ‘If you don’t do it our way, we will blow your dreams away, we will blow a hole in the American economy’, that is un-American. That is not how we do business, and we refuse to bow down to those tactics.” He was asked to explain that statement and Jones said, “the Tea Party is saying if they don’t get their way, they will refuse to have America pay their bills. If American becomes a deadbeat nation, we are finished as a first rate power.”
He goes on repeating the same metaphorical words over and over with the same theme. The GOP are holding guns on the American people while taking them hostage. It’s all Bush’s fault, and they are picking on grandma.
