Democrats
love criminals. So much so, they want to count foreigners, who sneak
into our
country, steal our tax dollars and violate numerous laws.
"Cedillo emphatically described the critical nature of everyone in California being counted in order for the state to fully realize the benefits of the census, in a safe, secure way that doesn’t place them in peril. Cedillo continued saying that this is the first administration since Nixon to simultaneously count people in the census and enforce the immigration laws, making it a conflict and putting undocumented workers in peril of deportation for participating in the census." Democrat Senator Cedillo wants law breakers to be comfortable. he does not want them to worry about being caught or sent back. Gil Cedillo is a conspirator in the violation of our laws. That should disqualify him from holding office--but to Democrats, promoting criminals is a badge of honor. Makes you proud of the Democrat Party, huh?

Did you
know that folks with "confidential“ license plates also get "get out of
jail free treatment--they are not ticketed for driving violations.
"How public employee unions are raiding treasuries, controlling our lives and bankrupting the nation (which you can buy here) that are more infuriating than the one about how one out of every 22 cars in California have special license plates that basically exempt their owners from traffic tickets. When an officer pulls over someone with one of these plates, the addresses are in a special database that alerts the officer that the driver is a government worker, or fellow police officer, or a family member of someone in law enforcement or government work, Plunder! author and all-around good chum Steven Greenhut wrote. The result is a de facto pass on many, if not most traffic laws by the drivers. Like the old Soviet Union , some people are more equal than others. Time for this to end--in fact, did you know this even existed? Government is theft--this is another example. Honest citizens must obey the law--those who are "friends” of government get special treatment.

The
retirement fund for
California teachers is $43 billion in debt. In fact, it must now go to
the Legislature
for money to keep its
payments going to retirees.
"CalSTRS' $130-billion investment portfolio lost more than a quarter of its value in the recent recession. The projected shortfall at the state's second-largest public pension fund ballooned to $43 billion by last June. "There's no doubt about it -- we need to come up with a new financial plan," Ehnes said. The 97-year-old pension plan must ask the state Legislature, the governor and taxpayers for billions of dollars. Getting that money -- even with an expected massive lobbying campaign and a bruising political battle -- is no sure thing." Under the State Constitution the Legislature MUST give CalStrs the money. Wonder where it will come from? Teachers are forced to give their pension money to government--we are all in trouble.

The purpose of prison is
punishment. If rehabilitation occurs that is a plus.
"The report also sheds light on another perennial problem in the state prison system: The CDCR has no department-wide system to assess the effectiveness of educational and other rehabilitation programs and thus no data on whether specific programs in California can actually cut recidivism. A September 2009 report by the state auditor made a similar point: while Corrections' budget for its academic and vocational programs totaled more than $208 million in fiscal year 2008-09, it confirmed that its system for accessing, processing, and tracking inmate educational data is extremely inadequate, and therefore it is unable to determine the success of its programs in reducing the chance that inmates will return to prison once they are released. Actually, this is a make work project, for the workers, not the prisoners--but also to make society feel good about sending criminals to prison. My guess is if you totally ended "rehabilitation" there would be no change in the recidivism rate. Time for the punishment of the criminals to resume and the punishment of the taxpayer to end.

The taxing columnist from
the LA Times, George
Skelton, calls Willie Brown a moderate for calling for "reform"
in
Sacramento . Wow, this San
Francisco dictator is now a moderate. What “moderate" reforms does he
want?
"The package includes many goodies long sought by Republicans: allowing one-time windfall revenue to be spent only for a one-time purpose. Establishing performance standards for state programs. Requiring a two-thirds majority vote for any fee that replaces a tax. Forcing a legislator who proposes spending more than $25 million to identify the funding source. Barring the state from raiding local property taxes or redevelopment funds. But Republican leaders balked at two provisions essential to Democrats. One would lower the Legislature's vote hurdle for budget passage from two-thirds to a simple majority, as it is in 47 states. The other provision would allow voters to approve a local sales tax increase with a majority vote." So, to Skelton higher taxes and making it easier for the State to go into debt is "reform". No, it is theft. It is what is wrong with Sacramento --tax and spend and not caring about the results. To the Times, Brown and Skelton higher taxes and out of control spending made easier is "reform" Do they think we are that stupid? "Who'd have ever thought? Willie Brown, product of a liberal San Francisco political machine, evolving into a moderate reformer." Oh,I now underdstand--this column is satire, a joke.

Statewide, over
21,000 teachers received notices they MIGHT be terminated. We do not
know how many should be
terminated for incompetence.
Actually, every year thousands of teachers receive these notices,yet very few are actually terminated. Instead, this is a dance. The "professional" educators scream the sky is falling. Then they demand a parcel tax, a bond,more tax money.In Cupertino, the parents are trying to "raise "$3 million from the parents--educators are going door to door, with"parents" begging for $375 per child as a "donation" to the district to keep their teachers. These are sick people. Maybe if teachers did not have to pay bribes to work, the costs would be lower. Maybe if the District did not steal the teachers pay and give it to a union (acting as a banker for a corrupt organization) the District would have more money.Maybe if bad teachers can be fired--without spending $500,000 per termination, the District would have money. Time for real parents, not those controlled emotionally by the District to take back public education from the special interests. What do you think?

Isn't this great.
Criminals will not be given amnesty this year. On the other hand,
government is refusing to stop the
criminal activity, arrest or deport the criminals. At least, criminal
action will not be the cause of being given citizenship--this
year.
"If Democrats who once appeared united on health-care reform can't even pass a truncated version of that, there's not much chance they will produce immigration amnesty. There's nothing approaching unity on immigration reform because politicians well know that no matter how many requirements and fines they might impose on illegal immigrants seeking permanent legal status, there is opposition back home. Why would Democrats keep talking about amnesty and tough border and employment enforcement when they know it won't pass? Chances are it's because they've been promising reform (amnesty) to Latino voters so long and have reaped so many votes in the process any verbal backing off risks alienating this important voter bloc. Some call it pandering, but Democrats lack the votes to prevent a Senate filibuster on any immigration reform plan that involves amnesty, even with a different name." The bottom line: while Democrats support and promote criminals, they are afraid to openly vote to make criminal activity a criteria for citizenship. What we need to do is take the temptation away from them. How? By defeating them and taking away their Congressional voting rights.

This is great!!! The
city of Ontario
has figured a way to steal money from a crook---the
State of California .
"Some cities have figured out a way to circumvent existing state law to divert traffic fines from state coffers into their own. Ontario should get its share of the action, suggested Councilman Alan Wapner. "We used to get a percentage of fines assessed, and now we are getting zero," Wapner said. "We are the ones writing the tickets, and we are not getting any revenue." Other cities have added the state's vehicle code to their municipal codes, Wapner explained. Police officers in those cities are able to write the traffic tickets as a violation of cities' municipal codes. "This way 100 percent of the fine comes back to the city," he said." For years the State has stolen traffic fine money--go through a Stop Sign and the State takes the money. This is a good sign--local responsibility. The State is so far in deficit and debt, it needs every dime--even if it means bankrupting cities and counties. Maybe the State need financial counseling and adult leadership?

We need energy. We need
to stop being dependent on Middle East oil. Even BO says we need to
create alternative energy
sources.
Yet, when we do, the Progressives work hard to kill the project. "The DWP submitted a right-of-way grant application to the U.S. Forest Service in 2007 for the project, designed to bring electricity generated by solar, geothermal, wind and nuclear power to Los Angeles from the southeastern California deserts and Arizona . Environmental and community groups were outraged by the DWP's plans to route high-voltage lines and 16-story towers through the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve north of Palm Springs, Pioneertown near Yucca Valley, Pipes Canyon Wilderness Preserve and a corner of the San Bernardino National Forest before linking with existing DWP power lines in Hesperia. Home to bighorn sheep and chuckwallas, the preserves are internationally recognized birding hot spots embroidered with trails and streams that run under canopies of willow and cottonwood trees." The Progressives can always find antecedent to create new energy sources. This is just another example. Until we get the courage to tell them that people are more important than their "sensitivities" we will have high energy costs, continue to buy oil from others and have alack of alternative energy. Shame on us for allowing radicals to harm our families and kill our jobs.

The start of 2009 saw the
Republican Party
in a state of self pity.
We had lost the White House to a friend of crooks, terrorists and radicals. The Democrats had overwhelming numbers in the House and Senate. The GOP in-house Democrat, Arlen Specter, finally outed himself as a Democrat. Then around April 15, 2009 Democrats, Republicans, Independents and those who totally dropped out of the political system roared like lions--and the Tea Party movement was started. By summer, no Democrat was self from the truth at their Town Hall meetings. The tide turned. Reminds me of 1979-80. Rev. Falwell had the Moral Majority--and that was supposed to destroy the Republican Party. Instead, it helped elect Reagan as President and turned the Senate Republican. Then in 1988 Pat Robertson ran for President. The fringe media, like the Times and Post declared the GOP dead. Instead, the Robertson effort helped elect Bush as President. Progressives love to tell the Republican to steer clear of those who are not rich, work hard and support the Constitution. This is the true value of the Tea Party to the GOP: "The Republicans for the last two decades have been a party whose litmus tests have been cultural issues, especially abortion. The tea partiers have helped to change their focus to issues of government overreach and spending. That may be a helpful pivot, given the emergence of a Millennial generation uncomfortable with crusading cultural conservatism. It's not clear whether the tea partiers' influence on Republicans will last as long as the antiwar cohort's imprint on Democrats. But their concern -- the fact that government spending is on a trajectory to increase far beyond revenues -- seems likely to persist. In which case a spontaneous movement that no one predicted and that no one person led could end up, again, reshaping one of our great political parties."
