But there is no excuse, none whatsoever, that justifies Whitman’s enthusiasm for Van Jones. Sounds as if she was infected with something during that cruise she took with him…

She made a whopping mistake…she’s done, the Far Right will/has/did plummet her into oblivion and beyond.

Yes, regarding Meg Whitman (who I think you’re referring to based upon earlier post — that YouTube video of Whitman speaking adoringly of Van Jones), she’s not got the enthusiasm for the Governor’s job of CA by anyone among the Right.

But like all CA Gubernatorials, the GOP inevitably supports essentially a Liberal for their nominee because of the Far Left nature of the loudest voters in CA (who are Far Left, the loudest element, not necessarily reflective of the state’s population, just of those who control most media in and from the state as also the many Far Left/Eco-natured [communist] groups there).

What happens is the GOP in CA nominates a Liberal-to-Leftwinger under the GOP ticket because it’s “figured” that “that’s the only way (they) can win an election there”.

I don’t agree with that philosophy, I truly can’t stand that philosophy to be frank, but that has been the going modus operandi of the GOP in CA for a while now.

I don’t know about Whitman’s future but if she’s running against Democrat Dianne Feinstein for the Governor’s job in CA in the next election, well, the choices there are clear to most who can’t stand the Far Left politics of Dianne Feinstein.

Congress must act on these czars immediately.

Exactly so.

That’s the key issue here (now that Jones has “resigned” — though I strongly doubt that that means he no longer holds Valerie Jarret in his lap and in doing so, will no longer have Obama’s head to pat when he wants), that Congress must stop this Czar-mania by Barack Obama, IMMEDIATELY REQUIRE ALL OF THEM ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH THE B.O. ADMIN. to be reviewed VERY CLOSELY by some agreed-upon standards (ethics, experiences relative to public office [big-whig academic degrees don't count on their own merits], and security credibility [which, I’d like to remind everyone, Barack Obama himself COULD NOT PASS — B.O. could not pass an FBI security clearance process, which likely explains his ongoing dubious “appointments” as to the Czar-seats so far filled).

Congress (without the Leftwing fringe like Waxman, Kerry, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Rangel, etc.) has to immediately start a bi-partisan (an actual bi-partisan, that means, sans the Leftwing just identified who have already established themselves as Leftwing-biased) review with procedures established as to who Czars are and how they’re appointed (based upon what criteria).

Leaving these Czar appointments “only” up to a President (and/or to whoever pulls his strings, like Valerie Jarrett and Soros as to the present Presidency) is not a credible, and obviously not a reliable, process.

A President has a Cabinet. The Cabinet exists as part of a Presidential Administration to do certain “hard work” on specific areas of our nation’s government that an individual President could not reasonably manage on a daily basis (Department managements, such that the Cabinet members are to lead/head/represent in the Executive).

Czars, as I understand it, are individuals any President CAN appoint to manage specific areas of our nation’s government that a President needs representation with and in that he/she can’t daily attend to, SIMILAR to a Cabinet appointment but not due Congressional review inorder to land the position — AND, Czars are essentially DISCRETIONARY PERSONNEL any President appoints on little more than his desire and individual determination — Czars report to no one except the President, or so I understand this.

That’s fine and good EXCEPT WHEN THAT PROCESS IS ABUSED by what it appears at present that the B.O. Admin. is doing: abusing the process of Presidential discretionary “hiring” in appointing Czars.

Because Obama’s Czars have been so extensive (while he has not nominated/appointed many other jobs still vacant in the federal government, that will/does require Congressional confirmation, Obama has gone hog-wild with numerous Czar appointments to attempt, so it appears certainly, to avoid public/Congressional review of the personnel involved, and, to literally create a very high number of individuals controlling federal funding and influences that exist in our government — we’re SUPPOSED TO BE a Republic not a Dictatorship — that are there ONLY on the say-so of this one guy, B.Obama, and who bear no responsibility to “the people” (or, the Republic).

We the people require, DEMAND at this point, Congressional action in establishing limitations to the number of Czars allowed per Presidential Administration and some sort of specific criteria that must be fulfilled before any one individual can occupy a Czar position (based upon some sort of security clearances that the average citizen – which the Czars actually are, nothing more, nothing less – must also qualify through inorder to gain any access to directing ANY and ALL national resources (like having the Secret Service requirements affect the Czars or something intelligence works out with Congress as to the qualifications).

I’ll post this from a comment on ACE of spades blog
Here’s a guy who calls people racists at the drop of a hat for merely having a link on their blogs to another site he doesn’t approve of, or writing anything he doesn’t approve of, or defending themselves against his accusations that insult and undermine their reputations, and he’s defending Truthers because he hates Glenn Beck.

Unbelievable how CJ thinks. He’s gone after Robert Spencer, Diana West, Andrew Bostom, Fjordman, Pamela, and countless others in the most nasty and petty ways with such superiority and holier-than-thou platitudes and here he is being “fair” with Van Jones. What a tool.

Unbelievable: Van Jones says 9/11 petition didn’t reflect his views;

Here is a brainf@*t
Will someone plz ask Van Jones what his views are on 9/11

I don’t care what the man has to say. Van is hot!

Yep. That Van Dude is radioactive. He glows in the dark like a walking biohazard.
