Did the pressure on Van Jones to resign come from the anti-science contingency in America?

    Sure it did. Never mind that he wasn't in the Obama Administration to talk about or push his "socialist" views. The right is obviously against "green" jobs. They don't give a damn about the need for them or how they could revitalize our economy. They just want to gnash their teeth and whine and complain. Hopefully his ideas, which were very good, will continue with his replacement.

    The will of the American people is a powerful thing and I don't think Van Jones will be forgetting that fact for a long time...

    The land of the free sounds much nicer then socialist government/ Communism?

    No, it came from the common sense contingency in America. I'm all for science and don't buy creationism and all that other crap, but I still believe Van Jones was an idiot and a radical who had no place in government.

    No! What has science got to do with Communism, and racism, as well as a lie about green job czar?

    In his resignation letter he referred to himself as resigning his post as the Council on Environmental Quality.

    One would wonder what this has to do with creating jobs. A hidden agenda exposed?

    He said some controversial things that made obama look bad for choosing him he resigned on his own free will obama didn't make him leave the administration.

    I think america isn't ready for someone as open minded as van jones yet and i think he knew it as well.

    No. The pressure came from people who are hiding the marxist agenda of the President.

    Definitely . The "We don't need No Education " group . My opinion - they really could use at least a basic education.

  • no it came from People who Love America just the way it is and doesn't think liberal Change is the right way to go. In other words, from Smart people instead of kool aid drinking idiot loons.
