This past weekend, John & Ken, a pair of local talkers on KFI-AM radio in El Pueblo de Los Angeles, held a party/protest out at Tom's Farms, a sort of farmer's market complex outside of Corona, Calif. It was a protest against Guber Schwarzengroper's tax & spend referenda 'pon which some of us voted yesterday. The set of referenda were sniggeringly sold as a way to help balance Stalag California's budget, but would really have served to hand billions more dollars to the Stalag's administrators to wantonly spend on wasteful things the embattled residents of the state neither want nor need.
Reports from The Wine Commonsewer and others indicated that it was a good-natured (if angry) group of protesters as much making fun of the Guber's (and the state legislators') actions as being critical. It seems to have worked, since the event got a fair amount of media coverage and helped point much of the voting portion of the Stalag's population toward fiscal good sense (for a change). The worst five of the six referenda were defeated resoundingly.
Guber Schwarzengroper just happened to be in Washington DC, home of the slickest and most accomplished thieves and murderers our nation can manage to produce, hat in hand, begging for
We're all, those of us with even the least regard for our personal well-being and some small amount of pride in our ability to produce and our desire to live independently, are pleased that more and more people are beginning to understand that the looters will take all of your money if they aren't stopped. These insatiable parasites will never be satisfied until they've starved their hosts to death and then will go looking for more.
Michael Chrichton once observed, within the pages of his marvelous novel, Andromeda Strain, that a successful parasite never takes so much from his host that the host's life is endangered. An unsuccessful parasite kills its host by his greed, finally endangering the parasite himself, which must then quickly find another host before he, himself, starves.
Boys and girls, the state is rapidly becoming an unsuccessful parasite.
My congratulations and thanks go out to all who fought, voted against, and ultimately defeated this round of foolishness.
And thanks to John and Ken for making a lot of noise, saying the right things at the right time.
People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of the people.
Warm regards,
Col. Hogan

California, like most of the nation refuses to tackle one of the most expensive follies, if not the most expensive; illegal immigration. I don't have the numbers in front of my; but we are all paying a huge percent of our budgets for services which are going toward folks who should not even be here.
The problem is bringing the subject up gives the ultra liberal bleeding hearts club a banner to wave, "You just hate folks of color who speak a different language" or some such rot. The fact remains that our nation was built by folks who came here legally wishing to be Americans; not by folks who came by cloak of darkness under a fence or through a tunnel looking for a free ride, money to send home to the folks in Mexico.
My guess would be we'd have a better chance of reducing the budget if we cut off the illegal drain. The schools are being soaked at every level. Don't get me started on reduced tuition for illegals....
Let's cut the salaries of judges and legislators to meet with the average household income of the folks they represent; that should get rid of some of the thieves in office.
TF,
I disagree. I think B Hussein is making a wonderful start at emptying the country of illegal aliens. It's a mite early to assess the degree of success of his program, but we'll soon know as the federal government makes this country so poor that citizens of other countries will flee back home to the relative wealth.
It's a brilliant strategy, when you think about it.
Stalag California is the test lab.
At any rate, congratulations on voting down the tax hikes. Now we'll see how long it takes for a California court to overturn the people's vote.
BC,
Excellent point, and timely warning.
it's happened many times before!
