Mayor Has a Fetish
Reader response

What's going on with the current mayor? Does he have some sort of compulsion regarding the commode?

First, he puts out a video telling Mission Viejo residents "You don't have to flush every time.” He even goes so far as to recommend waiting "'til two tissues."

The city uses reclaimed sewage water to irrigate the slopes, so we're already using the water twice and avoiding using potable water when we don't need to. As if that weren't enough, Mayor Dave sends out a blanket e-mail from his business telling recipients, "Your business card is crap." Can't he just get out of the restroom? 

Is a person soliciting business by being crass really the image what we want to present as the mayor of beautiful Mission Viejo? Maybe we don't have to flush every time, but it's time to flush this "mayor" now.

Healthcare By Witch’s Brew
by Bob Serrao, Tea Party Patriot

Witch: Bubble. Bubble. Toil and trouble. Drink it!

Citizen: Toue! Toue! What’s in this brew?

Witch: Ah, you must first drink it to know.

Citizen: But, perchance it is poison?

Witch: OK. Husk of corn, purchase of Louisiana, funding of abortion, pound of union, pinch of bribe, fat of Wall Street cats, shell of acorn, slew of czars, handful of coercion, extract of job, fat of pork, dicing of trillions, mountain of debt, Fanny of Mae, state-run of media, extract of C-SPAN, boiling of doctors, extract of Republicans, cream of insurance companies, mint of money, control of gun, collapse of economy, end of life consultation, Reserve of Fed, Bill of Stimulus, hint of amnesty, cash of clunkers, chopping of Medicare Benefits, Freddie of Mack, cluster of cronyism, draining of doctors’ fees, ration of care, sprinkle of medical information, roll of party power, slight of birth, refry of reconciliation, rule of Slaughter and shred of Constitution. It’s all here warming in this global vat of tax, mmm-mmm-mmm. Have I forgotten anything?

Citizen: Yes! How about the Bill of Cap and Trade? And, for what is this concoction?

Witch: For you, of course…insurance coverage for you and other uninsured subjects. This brew will guarantee a high of unemployment, high of inflation… taxation beyond the high of any drug. It is our social drug of choice…at least for now.

Citizen: We are not subjects! We are American citizens with God-given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. By the way, where is Scott Brown and the Supreme Court for rescue of sanity and justice?

Witch: Scott Brown has already been added and absorbed, poor boy, poor boy. Yea, the Courts are Supremely broken. And, nay, there will be no tort. Suweeet, huh?

Citizen: But, what of Amendment of Stupak and his band of uprights?

Witch: Ah, mere egg shells, disposable by purchase, coercion or bribe.

Citizen: And, what of Senate Parliamentarian Frumin and his warning of ‘out-of-order’ procedure?

Witch: Mere vapor…a wisp of steam.

Citizen: And, what of trillions of dollars of Congressional Business Office ‘cost alarm?’

Witch: Easy. We just borrow from The Fed, from China and India, then lay it firmly on the backs of you and your children. It’s taxation abuse, stupid.

Citizen: How dare you countenance such sleight-of-hand, such violation of rights, such oppression of citizen?

Witch: Ah, the recipes for these time-perfected skills are found in the cookbooks of Alinsky and Marx. And, you are annoying me!

Citizen: But, we Americans prefer the sweet taste of liberty layered thick on a foundation of The Constitution served on a plate of integrity and seasoned by the test of time. By these values and the freedom of enterprise, America has become sound, prosperous and great.

Witch: Nonsense! Away with such fragile sentiment…and your stupid Constitution!

Citizen: Well, what’s the hurry? Why the deadlines?

Witch: Oh yes, there will be plenty of dead lines for growing numbers of seniors, eee-hee-hee. Tricky, eh?! This concoction is something that doesn’t need the curing of time as it has a tendency to go flat rapidly. We wanted it served by Thanksgiving, but, no! Then, as your Christmas present, but, drats! Now, Sonny Boy wants it swallowed by Spring Recess, so we must force feed the brew this week. Sonny Boy is jetting off to Indonesia to visit his place of birth…or wherever.

Citizen: But, the U.S. Constitution requires a ratifying vote by both Houses before it can be signed into law. You can no longer use shred of Constitution for fire! You outrage me!

Witch: Harry one, come. Hold still the impudent patient. Force the mouth open while I pour.

Citizen: No! This smells like the excrement of tyranny! It’s wrong! We do not consent to such leadership. You guards are untrustworthy. We shall be rid of you and install new guards, and soon.

Witch: Wutt-ever! And, just before force-feeding you this coverage, I will stir in the spices of amnesty, fraud of voter, universal of registration and vote of felon. Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Citizen: I warn you, Witch, you are inciting a political revolution of patriots.

Witch: Yes, but for now, my silly, it lives. Get used to it, even if it means the paying of fines from behind prison bars. Remember, we have law of martial at your disposal. Come, Rahmbo, come Ax-Rod; twist both arms. The national health mix must be served. Mwahahaha.

It takes only 60 SECONDS to say [to one’s elected representative]…

"I am an American citizen and this bill is not limited to the constituents in your district. This bill will affect every American and how I vote in November. I strongly oppose Obamacare because it has no Constitutional basis; it funds abortion; creates deficit spending; abuses taxpayers for generations; too controlling; will ration care; steals from Medicare; too much bureaucracy; gov’t option enslaves citizens; limits choice; forces insurance companies out of business; has Gestapo-like fines and imprisonments; is socialistic; needs tort reform."

Tea Party Update

The Tax Day Protest in Mission Viejo is on target for Friday, April 15, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Republican Party of Orange County and Saddleback Republican Assembly will host the event on the street corners of La Paz Road and Marguerite Parkway.

Tea Party organizers will provide a variety of protest signs. They also encourage attendees to bring signs and American flags to wave. Here are examples of favorite signs from previous Tea Parties.

I’ll pay for my house, you pay for yours!

Government healthcare is like British teeth
If you want to stop 1984, get some 1776
Socialism = trickle-up poverty

Put the Constitution on your teleprompter
Dude, where’s my country?
Honk if you’re paying my mortgage
Don’t apologize for America, Apologize to America
Cap and Trade = Trap and Raid
DC: If You Have Time To Read My Sign, Try Reading Some Legislation!
3000% less spending in all 57 states!

The Buzz

Voters should hope Gov. Brown’s tour of California to build support for raising taxes will end like the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour.” In the 1967 film, ordinary citizens are taken for a ride, but their bus causes traffic jams wherever it goes. The tour ends when John Lennon angrily tears the hand-lettered sign off the bus. Tunes from the soundtrack include “The Fool on the Hill.”

***

When Brown’s tour stopped in Los Alamitos on Saturday, he said, "You got to wear people down. You have to persuade them, and you have to go out to as many parts of California to create the mood, the momentum, and the environment where people are ready to face the music." http://www.sacbee.com/2011/04/10/3541283/browns-countdown-day-91-governor.html#mi_rss=State%20Politics The “music” people are already facing includes job loss, foreclosure, a national debt of $14 trillion and borders open to criminal invasion.

***

Residents who receive email blasts from Dave Leckness to promote his copy business say the message is confusing. His latest email contains a video with the caption, “Your business cards are crap.” For anyone trying to figure out if “crap” is a typo, the video is clear – it’s crap. A talking head on the video says his business cards cost $4.00 apiece, and standard cards are crap. One would think the message is to upgrade to $4.00 cards but, no, Dave’s ad is for the standard cards.

How can parents help to de-politicize their schools? Tim Wildmon, president of American Family Association, writes: “The Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), fast approaches. This year it will take place in most public schools on April 15. On this day, thousands of public high schools and increasing numbers of middle schools will allow students to remain silent throughout an entire day – even during instructional time – to promote GLSEN's socio-political goals and its controversial, unproven, and destructive theories on the nature and morality of homosexuality.” Parents opposing the hijacking of the classroom for political purpose can check out this link: http://www.doswalkout.net

From OC Supv. Shawn Nelson’s April 8 Newsletter: “In an effort to sequester funds in the face of possible redirection as proposed by Gov. Brown, the Board of Supervisors, acting as the Orange County Development Agency, voted 4-1 to approve a list of proposed projects and their estimated costs. Supv. Nelson voted against this proposal since it included making unsubstantiated findings that the redevelopment agency provided the only source of funding for the listed projects, and that the projects constituted removal of blight. Part of the proposal included redirecting housing set-aside funds from the Santa Ana Heights redevelopment area to pay for $315,000,000 of affordable housing in Ranch Mission Viejo over the years.”

The April 4 Capistrano Dispatch describes a lawsuit filed by a CUSD constituent, Jim Reardon: “Reardon Sues Capistrano Unified School District Over Salary Restorations. A lawsuit filed March 28 in OC Superior Court alleges violations by the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) Board of Trustees of the Ralph M. Brown Act, California's ‘open meeting’ law. The suit alleges that the Trustees met secretly to discuss and vote to restore work days and pay to teachers, management and other employees without proper public notice and without reporting to the public the results of their closed-door meeting … Reardon stated that when presented with the facts, the Trustees denied acting improperly. Instead Reardon said, ‘They held a sham meeting to reaffirm their earlier, still undocumented, decision. They never bothered to consider whether the additional money being paid to teachers and employees this year actually exists.’”
