Today’s Commentary: Bernard Parks and The Unions : a David vs. Goliath story

"The money was already tainted" according to black commentator, Earl Ofari Hutchinson, flatly stating that the 8.5 millions LA government unions are spending, is "buying an election". Not just any election, buta seat to the LA County Board of Supervisors, District 2.

Using Tolerance to Promote Tolerance

No, this isn’t about Gandhi. But you have to admit, the following reader comments posted today to Chris Reed’s America’s Finest Blog entry on Prop8, are about as hilariously "ironical" as you’ll find….

Jenny (excerpted): "I’m a liberal democrat, and support Prop 8. I’ve supported gay rights since I was a teenager, but over the past few years, I’ve had my eyes opened to the cold hard facts that the gay activists are more interested in grinding an axe against the religious, than any kind of equality. Today for example, reading comments to an article online, I read comments by gays waging the no on prop 8 battle online, shrilly excusing the attack against a man who was only handing out lawn signs outside of a church, by a gay man who tried to steal the signs. The comments included that the religious don’t have rights, that they should get over it, and accept the fact that they would be challenged now at every turn and subject to derision.

Prop 8 Sign Thieves Arrested in Placer County

If it hasn’t already happened to you, you probably know several people who have had their Yes on Proposition 8 signs stolen right out of their front yard. Although McCain/Palin and other Republican signs have been defaced and stolen, the Yes on Proposition 8 signs are being targeted in particular. In fact, the vandalism and theft of the “tolerant” No on Proposition 8 side has escalated to such a level that now cars and homes are being vandalized. There are so many reports of violence and vandalism that police can’t even keep up. And even with so many politically-motivated crimes taking place, the media have been rather quiet in covering the extent of these attacks.

In my Roseville neighborhood, just as quickly as Yes on Proposition 8 signs are posted, they are defaced or stolen. Thankfully, the local police have been great about responding to the thefts and last night they finally arrested three individuals caught in the act of stealing signs. The thieves’ car contained… Read More

It’s not just the top of the ticket.

While the White House is the highest office in the land, a lot of governing happens at the local level. In fact, most of the decisions affecting our daily lives are made by city councils, school boards and county supervisors.

In that spirit, a group of Republicans, property rights advocates and miscellaneous North San Diego leaders have lined up to defeat far-far-left Oceanside City Councilwoman Esther Sanchez…

"Not Esther"

Sanchez – a public defender — opposes enforcement of immigration laws and even efforts to curb violent gangs. And, typical of the intolerant left, uses her office to punish those who disagree with her.

Oh yes, and for disclaimer, yes the PAC who paid for this is my client…… Read More

Obama Voters the Key to Prop 4 Win?

One wouldn’t necessarily think the anticipated/supposed "Obama surge" of 18-30 year-olds would benefit a parental notification measure. But, here’s the explanatory press release from the Yes on 4 folks. Planned Parenthood’s gotta be going nuts, if their poll data is showing the same. Will we see a PP "Obama’s got a lock on California, so you can go ahead and stay home" effort in the next week?

Too Little, Too Late

San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson is running to replace Guy Houston in the State Assembly. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Wilson today. Today. One week before the general election. He is swinging by a Wilson fundraiser tomorrow evening when he’s in the neighborhood to help raise money for Prop. 11. But as Republicans struggle to keep, much less gain, seats in the State Legislature, you would think that our GOP governor would be working hard to help get fiscally conservative legislators elected. Especially since we’re looking at another ugly budget fight as soon as the new legislature takes office.

Perhaps this is just the way life is in a post-partisan world. But if Schwarzenegger is not willing to help a Bay Area Republican who has a host of bi-partisan endorsements, he deserves the pro-big government, high taxes, high spending Democratic-controlled legislature he’ll end up with next year.… Read More
