Extremists using double standards to get their way.

 Unfortunate resignation at the White House.

Today's disappointing news from The States is the resignation of the dynamic Mr. Van Jones.


Van Jones should not have resigned. I'm very sorry he will no longer be an advisor in this administration's White House.

With Van's resignation, many will feel vindicated to use smear campaigns, not facts, to persecute anyone they don't like for any reason.   Just like parents who can not teach their children inappropriate behavior, unfortunately the Republican Party has not been able to bring its extremist members back into the fold.


Creating jobs in a green economy
Mr. Jones is a mover and shaker with great ideas for job creation in a green economy.  Maybe a more sophisticated government can snap him up and use his advice while giving him respect.

I don't understand how comparing Pres. Obama to a monkey wasn't considered "coarse rhetoric and extremist" by the same people that want to ruin Mr. Jones' reputation.  Through use of hyperbole, scare tactics and with no evaluation of the quality of his work they succeeded in forcing him out of the administration.
