... where a large share of America’s nuts and fruits are grown ....

Boy do they have that one right. Looking at this article, I'm inclined to think that Democrats in California have made themselves dependent on a steady influx of illegal aliens from Mexico, which isn't going to stop anytime soon, so long as Democrats retain power in the state.

Fellow Democrats sat Bustamante down and explained that California was not yet Mexico

The operative word here is 'yet' - this recall election is merely postponing the inevitable. For CA locals who decide to stay, the real issue is learning how to live in a 3rd world country. Clearly, the middle-class is moving out, which will leave the state with a band of fomerly middle-class coastal communities that by their very virtue will represent a new 'upper-class'.

My own personal interest has now turned to studying how the upper-class lives in Mexico City, Rio and Sao Paulo. It appears a significant issue is how to prevent over-taxation - clearly, the wealthy in those cities must have some sort of wealth protection strategies from the mob raiding the till.

The other key aspect is that it is absolutely imperative to live within a secure incorporated city that can afford to subsidize its own school systems and infrastructure. A key element to look for is the complete absence of any sub-standard high density housing within the city limits to prevent any footholds.

The fundamentals underlying the budget deficit are never going away, and indeed will continue to get worse. Once a region is in a death spiral, there aren't enough new artists/scientists/inventors moving in (or staying) that create the one-in-a-billion shot that forms whole new industries.

If the new majority chooses to maintain the current level of social services even with a reduced business base, then freeways and other capital trappings of an advanced 1st world country will suffer. You don't have to drive very far to see what Alta is beginning to look like.

On February 9, 2001, during a Black History Month speech before 400 members of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Bustamante casually referred to an African-American labor organization as the “Nigger” labor organization, using the evil “N” word and continuing obliviously with his speech for another 10 minutes while up to 100 outraged listeners rose and left the room.

Bustamante then stopped and apologized for what he called his “slip.” Black activists like the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who would have demanded the head of any Republican politician who used the “N” word, uttered no criticism of Bustamante. The nation’s leftist press largely ignored the issue, as it had when former Ku Klux Klan leader Robert Byrd, D-WV, used the same vile epithet on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

It's not so much the media, the lack of Democratic opposition, or even racism.

It's the sheer lunacy of it.

With this crowd nothing really means anything.

Ben, Honestly, is it even possible to hold a conversation with someone who has a world in which a meanings are this flexible?

Who knows what something as simple as "the sky is blue" means? It mutates, transforms, transliterates, something....

Who knows?

Heard Cruz on one of the news programs say that he hadn't called Davis prior to announcing his candidacy as a replacement. Typical backstabbing performance.

'Course, after seeing how dems handled the apparently extraordinarily difficult task of punching holes in paper in Florida, just how do you think they'll handle finding Bustamante's name in an unsorted list of 150+ candidates (assuming, natch, that his names doesn't appear either first or last)? We could actually have an election determined by first/last position on the ballot or even length of name, the shorter/longer ones being easier to find. What a farce this whole thing is turning into.

Can't remember which comedian did it, but one advised that, given his earlier use of the "n-word," Cruz had better be very, very careful when using Arnold's last name.

Leading Dem in Calif. Race Used 'N' Word


But if Bustamante wants to win over the state's African-American voters, he'd better hope they don't remember an embarrassing incident from two years ago when the gubernatorial hopeful blurted out the "N" word during a tribute to Black History Month.

"This word comes out of my mouth, and I didn't know what to do," Bustamante told the San Francisco Chronicle the next day. "I kept going on with my speech - when I got done, I just stood there. I couldn't believe what came out of my mouth."

Bustamante, whose popularity among Latinos could make him the state's next governor, was addressing an annual awards dinner and scholarship fund raiser for the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists. After the anti-black gaffe, about 100 people - 25 percent of the audience - got up and left.

"I was appalled that he would even say it as a slip," one audience member told the Chronicle. "You don't make a slip like that unless you use it normally."

Bustamante, who has made improving race relations the cornerstone of his career, told the paper he was "mortified" but offered no other excuse for using the anti-black racial slur.

Throughout his Black History Month tribute, which catalogued the accomplishments of America's civil rights leaders, the gubernatorial wannabe repeatedly used the word "Negro," reported the Chronicle, "which was not considered offensive given the historical context."

"At one point, however, Bustamante used the n-word," the paper said.

"I've struggled all weekend to explain it to myself," the angst-ridden Democrat said. "How can I explain it to you."

On Wilshire Blvd. near McArthur Park I was shocked to see a dead dog lying on the sidewalk in plain view of hundreds walking around it, selling fruit, counterfeit CD's, drugs and fake ID papers - no one cared just another day in Mexifornia

Thanks for posting this. Too bad the main stream media won't cover the truth about Cruz. He is a racist, worse than most Latinos

Another good article to help unmask these reconquista scumbags.

"...the man is an opportunist and a liar. He has lied so often and betrayed so many..."

Then don't write him off!

With those creds, he has a bright future in the Rat Party.

Ah, yes.... MEChA Boy Cruz..... the rotten college dropout chunkadung who isn't fit to be dog catcher in Fresno. I saw him lying away on L.A. television earlier this afternoon..... totally loving the illegal alien vermin who have bankrupt the state, and getting the boys fired up to go after Ahnold for his pro-187 stance (never mind that nearly 60% of the voters passed the measure, and if Davis hadn't killed it the state wouldn't be broke today). This is gonna be a whole lot of fun out here soon..... a real 'Tijuana fiesta', so to speak. It's long, long overdue.


Cruz Bustamante
Mechista and
Reconquista

The Making of Bustamante
After Washington, Bustamante attended Fresno State University, where he served in the student senate and began dabbling in community politics, learning about partisan politics first-hand. "I wasn't the most radical Mechista [M.E.Ch.A, which stands for Movimiento Estudiantil de Aztlan, is a Chicano student organization known for its ethnocentric views]. At the same time, there were a lot Vietnam veteranos attending school. They were like big brothers, and they taught me a lot."


....Martha and the Latino caucus responded with a press conference to offer a moderate plan to stem immigration. But it ended in chaos when Cruz Bustamante, a farm-country Fresno Democrat, said, "We could not conduct business without the immigrant."
    Dumbfounded reporters asked if he supported illegal immigration. "My district requires it," he answered.
    Bustamante restricted future press conferences to the Spanish language media.

(Cruz Bustamante is the Lt. Governor of California. On August 7, 2003, the Mechista liar announced he would be running for governor in the Gray Davis recall election on October 7... something he previously vowed not to do.) 

More on this traitorous Mexican nationalist gangster........

Yes --- we'll see more and more of that as this country becomes more mexicanized. The wealthy have it very good, they have many servants who'll live on next to nothing ----but they're also very frightened, everyone lives behind very high walls with broken glass and barbed wire along the tops. We're starting to see a lot of that same thing here ----big beautiful houses in expensive neighborhoods with iron bars on every window and door that rival those on buildings in our worst slums.

His using the n word for blacks is probably not even a third as bad as how he's referred to whites. His type hates everyone but The Race and they even hate many who are part of The Race.

exactly right, that describes Mexico City perfectly. People are either in MB limos, or picking through garbage dumps for survival. Its what our political leaders hope to make out of America, through globalization to destroy the middle class.

well, look at is this way, if Bustamente wins, that will most certainly be the "last straw" for many California freepers who are still holding on there hoping for better times. If this dude wins, those better times ain't coming, move out.

You can't avoid Proposition #187 and Illegal Aliens in this election, because Cruz Bustamante won't let you.
