I have been watching with delight the true patriots who have exposed ACORN for the criminal enterprise they are. After watching their pimping operation and corruption on video, I went back into the archives for the attack piece that ACORN had it’s "community activists" from Oakland hand out door to door against Richard Pombo when their brothels had some down time.

In this piece they not only specifically call for voting against Richard Pombo but call Richard Pombo Un-American, corrupt and immoral.

The most fun was watching Jerry McNerney throw his buddies under the bus today by having to cast a vote against their funding…looks like the ACORN office is one less place Jerry can hide out in to get away from his constituents who want him to publicly explain his vote in favor of the government takeover of healthcare. What was even better was watching Pelosi get all choked up knowing her legion of derelicts just went what those of us in the real world might call Chapter 11.… Read More

This just came in from Supervisor Bill Horn of San Diego County. One of the scandalous ACORN videos released over the past few days focused on an ACORN office in San Diego County…

The ACORN Mess Supervisor Bill Horn, San Diego County The allegations of criminal acts, including slavery, prostitution, and human smuggling in San Diego County shown on news video by independent filmmakers are beyond shocking. They are revolting, and if true, those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. After that, these people should be locked up and allowed to rot.… Read More

Gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner has signed the Americans for Tax Reform No New Taxes Pledge — awesome. Before I get to the part of this blog post that is about Poizner challenging his opponents to do the same, let me weigh in on this. Meg Whitman and Tom Campbell should ABSOLUTELY sign the pledge…

We are never going to be the majority party in California, or again nationally, if we cannot clearly articulate basic core differences from the Democrats. One of the essential lines that we need to draw in the sand is that Democrats think that government is too small, and that your taxes should be higher. Republicans think that government is too big, and it should be lower. All of the PR geniuses can talk about how that can be articulated to the voters in "real life" terms that are less ideological and more practical — but it is what it is.

Republicans are going to be fighting a losing battle for the Governorship if we get caught up in an intra-party fight over whether or not we should be raising new taxes. The best way to take that… Read More

One of the benefits of being an NRA member are the Legislative Alerts (orangepost cards)they send when some elected official in your area goes goofy on gun rights.

Well the other day I got an alert that my own Irvine mayor, Sukhee Kang had joined forces with Republican, Independent, Democrat, ???NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) is a front for anti-2nd Amendment forces.

In my weekly column which appears in the Orange County Register’s Irvine paper, I mention it at the end.

In the case of Mayor Kang, I suspect it was a desire to please/curry favor wththe big-city mayor that asked him to join rather than a true deep-seated anti-gun philosophy. But that is no excuse.… Read More

Republican candidate for Governor Steve Poizner unveiled a new and innovative conservative tax policy yesterday at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. Commissioner Poizner is proposing across-the-board tax cuts for every Californian and an innovative jobs program that will get California’s economy back on track. One of the things I like best about Poizner’s plan is that he is proposing specific, detailed policies on how to cut taxes. I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves: When he is Governor, Poizner will enact the following tax cuts: · 10% cut in personal income tax rates · 10% cut in the state sales tax rate · 10% cut in the corporation tax rate · … Read More

Imagine that you are the proud owner of a cement manufacturing company. The government has just sent you an informative, yet unfortunate reminder that your production costs are about to be raised yet again.

As a person working in the cement industry, you probably followed the legislative proceedings regarding the Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 (Nunez), that was passed into California law. After three years, you receive this reminder from the government that, after three long years, their statewide crackdown on global warming is ready for action!

Well, not exactly.

Before things really get going, they’ll need just a little more of your money: 10 cents for every ton of cement that your plant produces, to be exact. This may not seem like much to an ordinary citizen, but you know full well that the average cement establishment, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Portland Cement Association, produces over 420,000 tons of cement yearly. This means that the $42,000 you could have spent to create another California job is now going to help pay for a new government position on the Air Resources Board.

And even that assessment is an… Read More
