Another Commie Plot

Making no secret of his disdain for Tea Party ideals and ideas, ex-White House adviser Van Jones [comminust, truther, NBPP lunatic] on Monday nonetheless urged liberal activists to “steal” the Tea Party’s playbook.

The former “green jobs” adviser, speaking at the top of a three-day conference in the nation’s capital designed to galvanize liberal activists, spoke interchangeably in harsh and glowing terms about the Tea Party movement. He described their cause as “the worst” and “silly” and other unflattering adjectives. At the same time, he said progressives can learn from what the Tea Party has accomplished, as he tried to steer the crowd toward his own umbrella group which he’s been working on since the summer.

Using the pick-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps tone President Obama has employed in recent days, Jones pointed to the Tea Party movement as an example of grassroots activism done right. He suggested liberals have relied too much on one person, Obama, to fix everything.

Only instead of taking to the streets in the name of lower taxes and less regulation, he urged the crowd to model its own Tea Party-style movement in the name of the middle class.

“If we can just be as warm and sharing and kind as the Tea Party, which one might suspect is a relatively low bar, we might be able to do something for our country,” Jones said Monday.

Obama has stirred controversy in recent days by urging the base to quit complaining, take off their “bedroom slippers” and march with him. Jones used similar language, as the three-day Take Back the American Dream Conference got underway.

“We went from hopey to mopey and forgot to build a movement in the middle,” Jones said.

He credited the Tea Party with building a “network” that operates without any individual leader. “There is no Tea Party. You can’t land at the airport here in D.C., and get in the cab and say ‘take me to Tea Party headquarters’,” he said.

Jones described the movement as an “upgrade” over what progressives had done.

“They use their charismatic leaders to build something bigger than any leader,” he said. “They talk rugged individualism, but they act collectively.”

Mwahahaha, ROFLMAO. “Relied too much on one person”. That translates as “we sold you all the New Black Jesus, and he hasn’t pulled off a single miracle yet.” Too funny. Plus, “we forgot to build a movement in the middle”. You mean that MoveOn, ACORN, all the unions, Daily Kos, HuffPo, NBPP, Nation of Islam, 97% of the MSM, and the entire educational system nationwide ("Barak Hussein Obama, Mmm, mmm, mmm!") wasn’t a movement? Endless layers of interconnected simpatico organizations all getting their funding and talking points from George Soros wasn’t sufficient?

Maybe it’s because you can only sell people a lie for so long; eventually their eyes will see the truth. I read this morning that Oliar’s popularity in West Virginia is down to 28%, and that DNC strategists are already referring to the “Hillbilly firewall” (isn’t that a disparaging term? I’m offended on their behalf!) and giving up on several large swaths of flyover country even before the 2012 campaign really even kicks into gear. They know their dog won’t hunt, so they aren’t even going to try.

And the best part of all is that he STILL doesn’t get it. Sorry Van Jones, it’s a Tea Party thing. An American thing. You just wouldn’t understand. We don’t have charismatic leaders. Oh sure, we have a number of nationally recognized strong voices, but they aren’t leading. They’re following. They’re up on the bully pulpit, spreading the word that all of us already know: less government, less spending, less taxes, less business choking regulation, less power, and a return to constitutionally mandated limited government. It’s called freedom, and it’s written in the American psyche at the genetic level. We don’t need a Messiah to unite us, because we merely opened our eyes and raised our voices and found that we already were united. A collectivist of individuals. We The People, of the several United States.  And it was that easy.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
