Yeah screw the will of the voters..

Uh, the internment of the Japanese Americans was done at the

(The general's family got some rich land at fire-sale price from

So California comprises our entire Pacific Coastline, uh lemme fix my
map.
You're missing the point.
You have no point beyond what is fed to you by your favorite websites.
The fact is, people will vote for just about anything, if it's packaged just the right way.
That's rather democratic of you.
It was FDR who insisted that Japanese-Americans be put in internment camps. Most of the citizens of Washington, Oregon and California were neighbors to these people and knew they weren't dangerous. It's a lie that Californians, Oregonians or Washingtonians wanted their neighbors and friends rounded up and put into camps. It was the racists in government who did this, led by FDR. As for the "corrupt general" you mention, you give no real information to back it up. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but that it's rather odd that you would mention the incident at all as if it happened in California and California was the only place Japanese-Americans were put in camps.
And the right-wing, especially religious right organizations like
"Family Research Council" and the Mormons sent out tons of propaganda, ncluding all sorts of anti-gay hysteria.
Total nonsense. The voters passed Prop 8 with 52% of the vote. It was overwhelmingly supported by more than just "right-wing... organizations."
Blacks and Hispanics voted by a larger percentage than Mormons or any other group. For its efforts, the LDS Church was fined only a little over $5K for not
disclosing all it did. Hardly enough of an effort to "package" anything "just the right way" to get people to vote their way.
If it was just about who spent more money and put up more advertisement, the anti-Prop 8 side would have won since they spent more than the pro-Prop 8 side by more than twice.
Now they want Judge Walker impeached.
He's biased against religion in general and Christianity in particular and an admitted homosexual. His rambling 136 page ruling reads like the rants you'd find on HuffPo and Media Matters. He talks about fighting bigotry, but then follows that with a bigoted screed attacking religion.
They never mention who nominated the judge, do they?
And who opposed him?
It doesn't matter who nominated the judge.
I can see why.
He was nominated by that "leftist liberal" Ronald Reagan, and the "good conservative" who fought against his nomination was Nancy Pelosi.
What does this have to do with anything?
Arent you the political expert on all things?
Of course, I guess it is true, that a 65 day military hero
living RC>> in such palatial accomodations in Eastern Wisconsin,
does know RC>> what is best for citizens of other states...
Gratuitous personal slam, once again you show your bankruptcy of
ideas.
You certainly are elevating yourself to be the one who knows what is
best for them out there.
Keep attempting a diversion.
You claim you have a point and Cassell does not. The only one trying to divert attention is you. You make a claim and when challenged, you run away.
If they had voted on a proposition to make abortion mandatory, you
would be rejoicing them Californians as just and wise..
Wrong. Got any more BS to make up?
You make up more than your share of that.
You were told in the recent past that there were Sheriff Deputies
being shot in Arizona and that the Feds had erected signs out in the
Arizona desert to warn our citizens to the dangers posed by outlaws,
human smugglers etc... You pounded your tiny fists and said no, this
isnt happening because you couldnt see it from your front door..
There are US citizens, including *WHITES* involved in these activities
as well.
Really? Name some.
One little group was pulling their crimes while cloaked in a "anti- illegal immigration" group.
What group is that?
But look out! The brown people are under your bed!
It's not about "brown people," race-bater, it's about right and wrong. We as US
citizens are required to show our citizenship when leaving and re-entering this
country, why is it suddenly a race matter to require people from foreign countries to enter the US legally and carry papers to showing they are here legally?
