Nothing wrong with Charity and I give more than most but the whole idea of entitlements surrounding a welfare society seems wrong and destructive in the long run. That said I don't attend Church, I'm pro-choice and I'm not concerned what people do in their personal lives just so long as they don't impinge on my life.

So are you "left"? Yes... Am I "far-right"? No...

How about some intellectual honesty.
You are easily amused, I see..."LOL". So you think you know me that well, huh? Like I have told you several times before, I voted for Bobby Jindal twice for govenor... a republican candidate in Louisiana. I cannot say the same for presidential elections. I have been pretty much with the democratic ticket on every cycle. I never said I was not liberal, but I am not as left as you may think. I consider myself left of center. Likewise, you are conservative, but that doesn't necessarily make you a right-wing neocon.

How about that for intellectual honesty.

That is because the network news media which is considered to be more liberal-biased ignored Van Jones. I heard about his radical ideas for the past month or so.

Anyhow, the past always come out to haunt you...

In any event, I had never heard of Van Jones until this week. There are wackos and crooks in every administration. There is nothing to defend.

I watch a number of news networks as well
and never heard of him either. So it ain't
like he a household name.

Like MD said take a stroll through DC or, any "city" bigger than
a village and observe the typical toughs on the corner, of all colors.
What a phony punque, imo, and a hollow process.

In the scheme of all things important van and what he did
is unimportant....

I understand the NY Times finally reported something on him on Monday.

Jones was not a liberal, he was a communist - self avowed. The Obama administration makes the liberal Clinton admin look downright conservative.

There are a lot more nut cases to be outed: SDS founder, science guy who believes in forced birth control, the whole ACORN crowd, etc.

Even Robert Byrd wrote that these unconfirmed Obama appointees are out of control.

Even Wikipedia has something to say about him.

Krimson X, this guy (MrLabGuy, along with a selected few) is notorious at labeling folks just because we disagree with their obscured views and hatred for the President. There is no reasoning with guy......

I can always count on you to post something which demonstrates your extreme partisanship and ignorance.

First of all I've posted NOTHING which demonstrates hatred for President Obama while you've made it very clear you hated president Bush.

Secondly, you failed to read or comprehend my earlier posts which clearly point out my non-partisan voting record over the years.

On a scale demonstrating the blend of centrist mainstream views with Extreme Right Wing (Conservative) and Extreme Left Wing (Liberal) views here is where I think we both fall.

Extreme Conservative <-------------------Me--Center--------------------YOU-->Extreme Liberal

My views better reflect mainstream Americas views by far; however, I doubt you can see this due to the thick fog obscuring you ability to reason and be objective.
