L.A. Daily News' editorial choice: "In choosing the nominee for the gubernatorial primary, we urge GOP voters to ignore the ubiquitous and nasty ads and ask themselves which of the two candidates – Steve Poizner or Meg Whitman – is best prepared to be governor of a state in dire financial trouble. They should consider which candidate has the experience in both government as well as private industry, which has been willing to meet with the press and public, and which one has a record of public service and an interest in public policy long before this election. If Republican voters do that they will find that Poizner, the current insurance commissioner, is the worthier candidate.
Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, may have solid business background, but she lacks the political and public service background essential for the state’s top executive. She didn’t even bother to vote in many California elections.
Poizner, by contrast, was co-founder of two education groups, EdVoice and the California Charter Schools Association. He also was a White House fellow, focusing on cybersecurity and emergency communications and taught a semester of 12th-grade American government at a San Jose high school. In 2006, Poizner won a statewide election to become California’s insurance commissioner. …
Both would attack the state’s chronic fiscal problems, illegal immigration and pension problems, but only Poizner truly grasps what it takes to solve problems in government.
More importantly, of the two, only Poizner stands a chance in the election against Jerry Brown, the master politician who will have the might of the Democratic Party political machine on his side. That alone makes him the best choice in this primary."
Calif Secy of State Republican candidate, Dr. Orly Taitz, is the controversial attorney/dentist who has litigated many of the Obama eligibility issues around the country. She is a Russian immigrant and a great patriot. Her opponent, Damon Dunn, is the GOP favorite. Dunn has just moved to California to run for the office, was registered in Florida as a life-long Democrat, and admits never voting until last spring.
Orly Taitz grew up in Russia, where there was no freedom. She is a patriot. As an attorney, she is a stickler for the rule of law and the constitution. Despite being be-littled and smeared by the Obama administration as she attempts to obtain proof of the president’s citizenship and ability to serve, she soldiers on.
"Before you write this off as “birther” kookiness, please realize I have given this a lot of thought the past few weeks. I make the following recommendation to help your choice when voting in California. Please make use of the links I am providing for your own research and voting decision. You will see why I choose the way I do.
What makes a democracy? The ability to vote in free elections, right? It should follow that the person/agency in charge of counting those sacred trusts with democracy, the voter ballots, should be someone of the highest ethical caliber.
Such a candidate is Orly Taitz, a Russian immigrant, dentist and attorney. You may not know her name, but she is controversial for being one of the lead attorneys in the United States in the legal action to obtain proof that Barack Obama is eligible to be president of the United States.
Orly Taitz is running for secretary of state in California. She is very concerned about voter fraud that is occurring here and she pledges to require that all candidates who seek to be on an election ballot in California are legally able to run for office.
Let me run that by you again. Orly Taitz wants to make sure all candidates for office in California elections are legal American citizens. If they are not legally able to vote, Taitz is pledging that they won’t be on the ballot in California. So if you are a candidate running for office, you may not get on the ballot in California if you aren’t a legal citizen of the United States.
Damon Dunn, the other Republican in the race, has a lot of resume qualities that look great: young, former NFL receiver, good-looking, millionaire, important friends like Condoleeza Rice. The problem is, Dunn was registered from 1999 on as Democrat, claims Barack Obama is his hero, and has only voted once in his life, in the spring of 2009.
It also appears that Mr. Dunn not qualified to run for office. At the very least, he appears to be a Democrat outsider to the state who is opportunistically changing parties and moving here to run for office in California. He is favored by the GOP establishment in California over Ms. Taitz, recruited to run here by former Bush operative, Karl Rove.
Orly Taitz is yes, controversial. She will be controversial if elected. However, if elected, she may be able the only one, due to her legal background, to stop the progression of progressivism in this country, in the most populous state in the union. Damon Dunn looks good, talks the talk, but appears to be a “construct” of either the GOP or the Democratic party."
Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore - explains his understanding of the Islamist movement's war against Western civilization in this video. DeVore complemented his speech earlier at a pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles. He asserts here, "If Israel were to be conquered by Islamists, they would be emboldened, not appeased, and would next move to step-up their Jihad terrorism against California for their movement."
On Tues, 8 June, Californians will vote in primary elections (polls will close 8pm PDT). Registered Republicans and "undeclared" (independent) voters can vote in the Republican primary for either Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, Carly Fiorina, or Rep. Tom Campbell for U.S. Senate, to confront Sen. Barbara Boxer (D- CA) this November.
Ground Zero Mosque is named Cordoba House as a symbol of Muslim conquest of America
Robert Spencer, co-founder of Stop the Islamization of America, speaks at a protest that they organized against the building of a mega-Mosque 600-feet from Ground Zero. Atlas Shrugs claims that close to 5,000 people of every race, creed, color and religion showed up.
British contra-jihad commentator, Pat Condell, vlogs: "The Ground Zero Mosque on conquered sacred ground is what Islam has always done to assert its supremacy - and that is what's happening here. Once it's built, it will be a permanent affront to all Americans. It will be a major bridgehead in the ongoing stealth Jihad. (Allowing) it will confirm what they've already suspected - that America is a decadent country, crippled by political-correctness, confused and guilt-ridden, with no backbone and no pride."
"Barbara Boxer will not stand up for Israel. But she will stand beside the President who is doing grave harm to Israel -- and to America -- so long as he fills her reelection coffers. It tells us everything we need to know about her -- and it tells us why she'll be a former Senator in January 2011.
Israel is our only true ally in the Middle East -- and indeed, one of our few true friends in the world. It deserves better than the attacks it has suffered from the Obama Administration of late. More important, America deserves better. We expect our President to have a clear-eyed understanding of America's interests. Instead, Barack Obama's policy on Israel is apparently driven by petty vindictiveness, coupled with a shocking naïveté, married to an unforgivable ignorance of the Middle East.

anti-Zionist Communists join with Islamists in crusade against
democracy and individual liberties
The true agenda of the self-proclaimed, Palestinian peace-proponents seeking to embarrass Israel for having to shoot its way out of an Islamist lynch-mob ship on Sunday - was revealed on Monday in Los Angeles. One courageous, Israeli-born, American high-school student stood-up for his right to publicly support Israel - and a rally of hundreds of Muslim and far-leftist, pro-Palestine demonstrators nearly turned-into the lynch-mob they sought to downplay.
Outside of the Israeli Consulate to L.A. on Memorial Day, Daniel a Jewish high-school student defiantly waved the Israeli flag through a crowd of Israel-haters - to defend what he perceives as the Israeli Marines' justified handling of the Flotilla blockade when they came under attack.
The L.A.P.D. had to establish a human wall to intervene to protect Daniel (and afterwards, a couple of other Israel supporters) who stood-up in opposition to the mob mentality of the Gaza protestors, with their version of the facts of the case and rights of expression.
When a Muslim protestor cries, "Allahu akhbar" to incite the crowd against the Jewish boy - the opposition to Israel's politics become subordinated to the perception of "Holy War" as a driving force of the Muslim side of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
American-born Muslima's professes
allegiance to Palestine, not America
"Was Israel Jewish in the Bible?
I don't know about that?"
An American-born, young woman of Palestinian heritage rallying to "Free Palestine," reveals that it means more than just drawing-down Israel's presence in the West Bank. When she saw the Israeli-American demonstrator, she shrieked, "I'll kill him! You killed my family! Take that flag down! You killed my people!" In DemoCast's original video, she confesses that the objective of their movement is not for Palestinian autonomy to co-exist with Israel, but to destroy Israel and conquer it for Palestinians to rule.
