You may recall the electorate held two worries about civil unrest as Nov. 4 arrived:
• What would happen if Barack Obama lost?
• What would happen if Prop. 8, the anti-gay marriage ballot measure, won?
You may further recall that not even your most radical relative wondered:
• What will happen if Republicans lose?
Since Mr. Obama won, only half of the anticipated turnout of unemployed liberal yahoos is hitting the streets. They smell, though, as if they have not washed since returning home from their Vietnam War protests.
Mob Rule sways the day, Chapter II, and I can just hear one certain Culver City politician saying, “Go, team.”
Only a liberal could seriously believe that wild-eyed roving mobs should overturn a popular vote. We believe in democracy, they say, except when it applies to us.
With seemingly the entire sign-waving homosexual population of California, and its misguided supporters, filling select streets daily, maybe PXP’s oil-drilling will catch a break and do no worse than neutralize the foul odor rising to the skies from the demonstrators.
Lie Down, Children, You Look Worn Out
Unsurprisingly, nearly every wrong-thinking politician in the state has signed on to this carefully manipulated non-stop hatefest.
Only liberal mobs, a superfluity, believe that every time they lose an election, they were cheated and the other side hates them. They need a couch more than an election victory.
They hurt their worthy cause with their vulgarity and their absurd charges. They have everybody above ground on their side — except the voters. Spewing hate because you feel wronged will not win a test of persuasion.
If conservatives had lost this vote, instead, they would be debating the merits and signposts indoors, around a table, in a civilized manner.
Having voted “no” on Prop. 8, I am disappointed at the 52 to 48 percent result. I was far more disappointed that the rankest amateur ever to contest for the White House snookered so many emotions-first voters.
As a Republican, I can say in measured tones that gays do not realize how well off they truly are. If only Republicans were treated as well as gays by the liberal power structure — they have the entirety of the media and every politician with a larynx on their side. What is to complain about?
When Is Prejudice Not Bias but the Wisdom of the Ages?
In this town, the Los Angeles Obama Times is riding the Gays Were Cheated pony as if its journalists were galloping to their last roundup. Just when you thought the ailing Times could not behave more petulantly than it did during the 21-month runup to the Presidential election, the newspaper pulled a gay rabbit out of its tattered high hat. In nearly every edition, the Times socks journalistic principles in the solar plexus.
Take two days ago, the following photo caption was on the first page of the California section. “In Seal Beach: Larry Black, left, and Carlos Guidti voted for the measure but claim no bias against gays.”
The Times, the major source of print news in this town for more than 45 years, tells us by the caption that if you voted “yes” on Prop. 8, you are a bigot. Thank you, God, for giving us liberals. Otherwise, where could we turn for laughs? Only this is outrageous, not humorous.
Five pages later in the newspaper, the Democratic boys and girls in Sacramento were throwing another juvenile tantrum. With 43 Democrats, including the thoughtless Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass (D-Culver City), signing on, they issued this insulting rebuke to voters one week after the election: “The citizens of California rely on the Legislature and the courts to safeguard against unlawful discrimination by temporary, and often short-lived, majorities.”
While you are mulling the ludicrosity of that statement, think back to what City Councilman Andy Weissman told this week’s Council Chambers mob: “We cannot become a city that makes decisions based on who yells the loudest and the longest.”
