Uh, doesn’t Riordan hate Hahn? Maybe that’s why he endorsed him.

The talk about reconquista is just hysteria. If AV makes any major move to integrate LA with Mexico (just putting this in words makes it seem ridiculous), the voters will throw him out.

Damn right! It’s all just hysteria. Plus, the L.A. Times will be sure to tell us if there’s a problem. I know we can count on them to tell us the absolute truth and keep us informed of things that are important.

But, seriously, what JohnH doesn’t know or isn’t saying could probably fill a small book.

For instance, did you know that the Mexican government gives LAUSD students free Spanish language textbooks, including… history books? Now, to apologists or others that’s no big deal. However, to those who have some knowledge of both history and of propaganda, that is a big deal. And, when someone is familiar with other attempts by the Mexican government to have influence over our laws, residents, and citizens, then they see this as yet another example.

After all, both Fox and Zedillo claimed that the Mexican Nation extends beyond the borders of Mexico and includes the 20 million or so Mexicans in the U.S. In that number they included not only legal and illegal immigrants, but native-born Americans of Mexican heritage.

In other words, they’re making a play for part of our population.

And, JohnH, did you know that L.A. City has an office of immigrant affairs? Did you know it’s there to welcome all “immigrants,” regardless of status?

And, did you know that in the announcement of this from the City of Los Angeles, a U.S. based organization was given quote space, and that organization allegedly cooperates with the Mexican government?

I don’t think AV is going to climb City Hall and proclaim this Nuevo Aztlan. However, I can see him taking small steps that will lead towards that goal. Some might be intentional, or others might be just because he’s far left.

In any case, I suggest that people do their own research and tune out the apologists.

LA really has nothing enticing, aside from the weather, which was subpar this year anyway. Then factor in ACLU Antonio’s upcoming reign, the United Teachers of Los Angeles inaugurating a comrade/leader who is farther Left than Trotsky, and why would I stay?

Better question is, why would anyone stay? I think NBC 4′s summaries of the LA Mayoral Race, won by Villairagosa, and today’s activites, make my point.

That, and the fact that I can buy a four bedroom house in a beautiful, safe, sophisticated, clean city for about the price of a 500 square foot dump in BoBo Brentwood, Venice or Santa Monica.

Even Detroit sounds decent.

We cannot-must not-live our lives in fear of losing power. That is a sure way to lose it! No. We must do what is right.

As far as anything to do with another branch of government, ie. the Presidency, there must be deference unless there is a visible problem.

If I wanted a Democrat, I would have voted for one. One day there will be one. I will hold the same view. It is right.

We just must work hard to make sure the people we elect do not forget why they were elected in the first place and start fighting for us.

AV is also in the pockets of the real estate developers, who gave him a lot of his money and caused him to earn the wrath of the unions. (See the LAWEEKLY article) This support from Big Real Estate probably explains why Hugh Hewitt and Riordan supported AV.

I voted for Hahn, albeit while holding my nose. As I recall, Villaraigosa was part of the hard-left faction in the State Assembly that has nearly spent and taxed California into bankruptcy. No way would I vote for him. Hahn, in my book, at least got credit for forcing out Parks and bringing in Chief Bratton. Now let’s see how Alcalde Villaraigosa screws that up.

Ahm, I highly recommand you read up on La Raza. Why do you think Gil Cedilla is working so hard on getting illegals driver license that’s indistinguishable from normal ones? La Raza’s stated aim is Reconquista.

Since AV is a former ACLU lawyer who sued the city, I can’t wait to see how he handles the first whiney lawsuit he has to face as mayor.

The differences between the two candidates as far as policy goes was so thin that style was the only thing you could vote on. When Hahn fired Parks his fate was sealed and the power of the Mayor in LA is so dilluted that AV or any Mayor has trouble getting anything done.The LA mayor’s race is a democratic primary race and the direction of the city will not be changed much by this election.The more interesting show will be AV future political plans.
