Radio Host Dennis Prager Calls for Boycott of His Own City, Los Angeles [Thursday 13 May 2010]

Posted on 05/14/2010 1:24:12 AM PDT by whatisthetruth

Dennis Prager, syndicated radio talk show host, best selling author and long-time resident of Los Angeles, has called for the rest of the United States to boycott his own city after the Los Angeles City Council voted to cut ties with Arizona business in response the just passed immigration enforcement law, this as the city finances continue to meltdown.

Prager was apoplectic about such a dumb move by a City Council whose liberal Democrat policies have devastated the city of Los Angeles by driving businesses away, discouraging further investment, soaking the population with taxes that discourage economic growth and passing regulations that do nothing but wreck the productive population which pay their salaries and those of city worker unions who own the Council lock, stock and barrel.

For two hours on Thursday, May 13, Prager exhorted his national audience to cancel all travel plans to Los Angeles and San Francisco as well, a city whose empty headed Mayor, Pretty Boy Newsom, has also elected to punish Arizona for enforcing Federal Laws that both cities should be enforcing themselves. San Francisco, another city that has been destroyed by left wing policies, is overrun with pan-handling bums, illegal alien criminals and is protected, or not protected, by a police force so overrun with political correctness and incompetence they couldn't handle a group unruly elementary school children.

When Los Angeles City Employee Union officials tell the Los Angeles Mayor or City Council members to eat their lunch off the floor, these pets do just that, and now the Council has chosen to throw away from money from Arizona companies that is desperately needed as the City of Los Angeles faces unfunded pension obligations of over 500 billion dollars. Two Arizona airlines alone bring in $22-million to Los Angeles International Airport.

Prager, along with a number of other local hosts such as Tammy Bruce, Kevin James and John Phillips are absolutely dumbfounded at how stupid Ed Reyes, the sponsor of the measure, and the other 11 members who voted for the bill must be to waste time on such self-destructive policies. Councilman Greg Smith was the lone dissenter in the Los Angeles City Soviet style Politburo, a man of good sense in a sea of dunderheads. Reyes uttered the most stupid phrase of the proceedings by saying, "I need a passport to go to Arizona."

In a bit of irony, they have passed laws for clean energy trucks to operate in the Los Angeles Port facilities, but those trucks are manufactured in Arizona. Brilliant.

The reckoning has begun; the Left has Sown the Wind and Now They Will Reap the Whirlwind…..We're coming for all of you…Count on it.

And John and Ken today put all of the L.A. city council members’ “heads” on a stick on the air, complete with gruesome sound effects.

What blooming IDIOTS “run” this town. Maybe this will finally WAKE US ALL UP and make us start paying attention to the losers who have through citizen inertia squeezed into city “leadership.”

These freaking dumb-butts are PROTESTING what is essentially a state-written version of FEDERAL FREAKING LAW. The only objection to AZ’s new law is that you do not want borders. And you’d be the only country who didn’t want them. Try and cross illegally into ANY other country of the world and see what happens to you.

Remember that it’s not the illegals paying the bloated salaries and pensions of these city hacks. You have awakened a sleeping giant, you morons.

Prager was pretty livid on his show, I'm still listening now, says if the liberals want to declare economic war on AZ and what that represents, why as conservatives should we just sit around and take it? Well okay, why should we? And why aren't more conservative leaders speaking up?

Was the L.A. City Council right to pass a boycott of Arizona?

Yes. Arizona needs to feel the consequences of enacting a bad law. 2% (333 votes)

Yes, though the boycott should be more of a symbolic gesture than an official measure. <1% (56 votes)

No, but only because doing so is probably illegal and not in L.A.'s interest. 4% (631 votes)

No. The city should mind its own business. 94% (14,939 votes)

Total Votes: 15,959

You can add the Boston city council the the DUH list, they voted last week to boycott AZ, I wonder if they will now vote to boycott their own city seeing as those nasty FBI agents rounded up those illegals in connection with the NY times square bombing? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

All the so-called civil servants who are calling for a boycott of AZ should be thrown out of office. They have no shame.. It’s an unprecedented abuse of power and unconstitutional! They want illegal immigration for votes.. If AZ is successful the Law might come to THEIR State.

List of AZ companies TO DO BUSINESS WITH! http://bit.ly/b3nQeg

All you really have to know about the LA government is who the mayor is. Villaraigos - a vocal supporter of the boycott - has a history that includes the following:
He went to Cuba in the radical Venceremos Brigade to help Castro.

In college, he was an activist in Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) - a Chicano separatist group with a Commie underpinning.

He then went to the Peoples College of Law (dedicated to producing public-interest lawyers) and failed the bar exam four times.

And more... Source: Loudon: Obama, Antonio Villaraigosa and the Harry Bridges Connection
