3. “They hate everybody in American who looks like us… but they hate the people, the brown folk, the gays and the lesbians, the people with all these piercings and tattoos, y’all. Ha. When they say they love America, they don’t mean you, they don’t mean me.”
As if Van Jones hasn’t been slanderous enough, here he tries to make his audience automatically hate libertarians by claiming that we hate some of them. He's lying through his teeth, but more importantly, he's trying to divide the people and associate skepticism of government's wherewithal to "fix" the environment with hate and bigotry. Although I only know a few black people and a few gays and lesbians, I don’t think there’s a single one against whom I harbor ill will. In fact, one of my heroes is Bradley Manning , a gay soldier who was thrown into a government cage for revealing dirty secrets about the government’s criminality. Also, Congress's premier libertarian Congressman Ron Paul voted to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell (one of only 15 Republicans to do so). I am actually very good friends with one individual whose entire torso and both arms are covered in tattoos. If not knowing anyone with lots of piercings is the same as hating those with lots of piercings, then I guess, Van Jones, I’m guilty as charged on this last point.
And I love America, but that’s only because I love what America is supposed to be about – that is EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW, individual liberty, and peaceful cooperation as opposed to the policies which Van Jones supports by his beliefs in green-eco-fascism and forced redistribution. My love of America isn't enhanced or diminished by the people.
