New Ad from Van Jones Group has Children Summarizing the Agenda of the Left: “Contract for the American Dream” – Video

Oh my.

Here is the agenda of the Left summed up in a single ad, parroted to us by a group of impressionable children. It’s the work of Barack Obama’s former “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones, who appears to be busy trying to create a counterweight to the Tea Party Movement. The principles espoused here pretty well are the antithesis of what the Tea Party stands for in terms of smaller Government, individual responsibility, and a free market economy. Without even knowing it, these kids are advocating for an America that would not even begin to resemble the nation that has been the leader of the free world, and would consume much of their own financial future.

THE HILL: A coalition of liberal groups seeking to create a counterbalance to the Tea Party movement have released the “Contract from the American Dream,” a response to the Tea Party-crafted “Contract from America.” The coalition includes the liberal groups MoveOn.org and Rebuild the Dream, headed by Van Jones, former special adviser for green jobs in the Obama administration.

The group repeatedly criticized the Tea Party’s goals during a Tuesday afternoon conference call, but Jones indicated they held a begrudging respect for the movement’s organizational abilities.

“My frustration isn’t that the Tea Party got so loud, it’s that the vast majority of Americans got so quiet,” Jones said. “The majority of Americans have to reassert ourselves and reassert our values.”

Jones said the new contract’s supporters could exceed the Tea Party’s influence.

“The majority of Americans in this debt-ceiling debacle were simply not heard, and we’re trying to fix that,” he said. “This is an attempt to refocus on jobs, not cuts. Almost three times as many people participated in this contract as the Tea Party’s [Contract from America] at the start.” . . . Read More
