In the good old days unions opposed illegal immigration, because it undercut keeping workers wages high. The United Farm Workers are a good example of a union that fought hard to keep illegals out of the fields. How times of changed. This weekend Teamsters and illegal alien activists joined up for a Labor Day rally that included keeping a dozen anti-illegal alien protesters from doing their thing. See the story here.… Read More

I would like to send a hearty THANK YOU to Governor Schwarzenegger.
The left-wing legislature passed along to the Governor, in the form of SB 840, a socialized healthcare system bill that would have been incredibly bad for the people of this state — especially those in need of professional medical assistance. In vetoing this bill, the Governor had this to say:
Socialized medicine is not the solution to our state’s health care problems. This bill would require an extraordinary redirection of public and private funding by creating a vast new bureaucracy to take over health insurance and medical care for Californians – a serious and expensive mistake. Such a program would cost the state billions and lead to significant new taxes on individuals and businesses, without solving the critical issue of affordability. … Read More
Over the next month, the Governor will be looking at literally hundreds of pieces of legislation that have been placed onto his desk. You can be sure, because of the partisan makeup of the legislature (Democrat majorities in both Houses) that none of the legislation achieves lofty goal of reducing the size and scope of state government. On the contrary, the overwhelming amount of legislation on Schwarzenegger’s desk takes away a lot or a little of the liberty and freedom of Californians — whether because it contains a tax or a fee, or because it creates a new government entity, or restricts by fiat the rights of individuals in the Golden State to exercise their own judgment.
As readers of this website know, this year’s FlashReport Legislative Golden Trash Can Award went to Assembly Bill 523, which, if signed, will allow the Trustees of the Coast Community College… Read More
Anaheim Councilman Harry Sidhu is a smart man. He does not gamble and he is not an advocate of having a casino in Anahiem (something I would very much appreciate).
But Sidhu is realistic enough to know that someday it might be the right public policy to let one open up that is why he opposes efforts in his city to hamstring future councils from considering gambling establishments as an option…… Read More
I don’t recall even being in a situation where the closer Election Day gets, the less likely I am to vote for the GOP nominee.
Yet, that is where I find myself vis-a-vis Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I’m one of many conservatives who voted for Arnold in the recall, despite my preference for Tom McClintock. I found the prospect of Cruz Bustamante in the governor’s office horrifying and wasn’t convinced McClintock could win. The stakes so too high I though it prudent to back the Republican with the best chance of winning, and so I cast my vote for Arnold. Like other conservatives, I comforted myself with the rumor we’d heard for years that Arnold was really a libertarian. So, although he was squishy on the social issues, at least he’d be hard core on taxes, spending and freedom issues. After all, he was a Milton Friedman fan!
But ever since the Governor’s nauseating policy of apologizing for the special election of 2005, it’s been steadily more difficult to assembly a conservative Republican rationale for supporting his re-election.
He’s signed a non-aggression pact with the government employee… Read More
