Van Jones Walks
This past Thursday I wrote a column that was unusual for me because it had political subject matter. I try to avoid that arena here. Breaking policy, I wrote it because, as is always the case, truth is “the highest good for all concerned” and that’s my mission statement. So, I go where it takes me. On Thursday it took me to the White House.
It’s Sunday morning and the trip was worth it. Van Jones has resigned.
Glenn Beck is a Public Servant, in the purest sense of the word, for has done the nation a service. He shone a bright and unwavering light, the Light of Truth I dare to say, upon a shadowy man whose intentions have been deliberately masked and obscured by those in positions of power in order to advance a very anti-American agenda.
The resignation of Van Jones as Special Adviser to the President is a victory for full and fair disclosure… a legal and ethical concept lost on this Administration. He is but the latest in a long list of appointees and nominees by this President who have personal and professional histories of corruption, pay-for-play tactics, cronyism and supporting policies and foreign governments that would see an end to freedom as we know it.
This is a cloaked and shadowy Administration but I still believe in Hope and Change. They are what Barack Obama promised us and they are exactly what he is delivering….albeit not quite the way he and his wife intended.
There is always a silver lining… and I see this one shining brightly through.
We can remain HOPEful that there are brave and impassioned men and women, such as Glenn Beck and those who are making his personal mission possible, to shine that Light of Truth when and where it’s needed.
We can CHANGE the face of politics by removing the mask of deceit and cloak of subterfuge and demanding accountability, full disclosure and truthfulness of those who claim to aspire to serve the public good.
Van Jones’ resignation is not the end. It is the beginning of a sea CHANGE moving this nation and, ultimately, free people everywhere, to higher ground where HOPE is the order of the day and the air is cleaner… not of CO2 content but of fear.
Yes, “HOPE and CHANGE.”
Turns out it really is more than a bumper sticker after all.
