Open your eyes and take a look around. We could end up in a really bad situation if we don't step up and do something about it. We need to strengthen our awareness.
Here is an interesting quote from http://www.nolanchart.com/article3055.html
"I remember reading a story told by Ezra T. Benson, who served as the Secretary of Agriculture during the Eisenhower administration. The leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita Kruschev (who followed Stalin) was going to visit the U.S. and Benson was ordered by Eisenhower to give Kruschev a tour of some of our agricultural facilities. With great reluctance, Benson agreed to do as requested by the President.
During the tour Kruschev remarked to Secretary Benson that communism would eventually consume democracy. Benson replied that Americans would never accept such a drastic change in their form of government as communism. Kruschev then told Benson that it was already beginning to happen.
He said that Americans were being fed one small bite of communism at a time, and that over the course of several years, Americans will have accepted so many communistic ideals, including a massive and uncontrollable federal government, that one day we would wake up to discover that we are a democracy only in name - that our policies and methods of government will be communist in nature. Kruschev concluded that it will be the slow injection of socialist/communist principles into America - not nuclear missiles - that would destroy our nation."
It is changing, right here, right now. Out of sight, hidden in areas we wouldn't expect. I think it needs to stop, don't you?
During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, 'Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.'
Who exactly is the President surrounding himself with?
Van Jones right now is being considered to be a special advisor to the President, who is this guy? Where did he come from? I would encourage that you research him.
Things you may not find out while you do this research:
-He's a self avowed communist
-He Campaigned to free a communist cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal
-He is a member of the revolutionary communist group called STORM

Here is a quote from Glenn Beck here is the story.
When we asked the White House if they knew about Jones' radical roots and if it gave them pause to make him a special adviser, the White House told us he was "focused on only one issue." That is not an answer to the question. And beyond that, he's a communist… focused on job creation? What jobs does a communist create? Let me continue to ask: Who has the president surrounded himself with?
Lets take a look at Van Jones. What is he for? Right now, his "one issue" is creating green jobs. Lets take a look at communism. What exactly is communism? Here is the definition:
n.
- A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
- Communism
- A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
- The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.

Think about it, Lets look at the second definition and we'll break it down to explain better.
"A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy"
Okay, the state "plans" and "controls" the economy.
"A single party holds power"
One party, no choices.
"Claiming to make progress towards a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people."
My definition of this statement is that everyone gets everything everyone else gets, no matter how hard, or how little they work. Seems a little unfair doesn't it?
Lets look at some quotes by Van Jones:
-No more broken treaties. No more broken treaties. Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth! (note: addressing the indians)
-Don't stop there! Don't stop there! We're going to change the whole system! We're going to change the whole thing. We want a new system. We want a new system!
-One of the things that has happened I think to often to progressives is that we don't understand the relationship between minimum goals and maximum goals. Right after Rosa Parks, refused to give up her seat, if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said, OK, now we want reparations for slavery, we want redistribution of all wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages, had that had been there, if they would have come out with a maximum program the very next day, they would have been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum program, you know, we just want to integrate these buses. The students a few years later came out with a very minimum program. We just want to sit at the lunch counter, but, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1954-1968, you know, complete revolution was on the table for this country and I think this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we're saying we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to some kind of eco-capitalism where, you know, at least we're not, you know, fast-tracking destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond ex-systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. But that's a process and I think what's great about the movement that beginning to emerge is that the crisis is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both very pragmatic and very visionary. And so the green economy will start off as a small subset and we're going to push it and push it and push it, until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.
