Republicans are "terrorists" and community activists "protect" hmmm? interesting message there

Since California added term limits to the political rule book in 1990, the piece of furniture occupied by the speaker of the California Assembly has become both a musical chair and an ejector seat. We've had nine speakers in 14 years. Karen Bass is the latest, a Los Angeles Democrat and the first black woman in the job. She was elected to the Assembly in 2004. She became speaker a year ago, and she'll have to pack up and be gone next year. When I first met her, she was a physician's assistant and a community organizer, crusading for foster care and against the myriad liquor stores in South Los Angeles. Sure, today she sits next to the governor in the "big five" meetings -- but with the ticking clock of term limits and the most hellacious budget in decades, I think of the speaker's job now as much like the Woody Allen joke about two women chatting at a resort: "The food here is so awful." "Yes, and such small portions." Bass dishes it out, and takes it.

That an ignorant Dem considers the exercise of Democracy terrorism is hardly news.

I wonder if Zero intends to imprison republicans indefinitely for being terrorists?

"The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: "You vote for revenue and your career is over." I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair."

As opposed to the fair and equitable treatment of Joe Lieberman by the Democrats.

[sten]

ask her what would happen if she voted against anything pro-homo.

my guess, she would be out. she seems to be operating under a terrorist threat herself... one that desecrates churches and mugs old ladies holding signs

[giotto]

She needs to be sued for defamation of character. This can not stand.

The word TERRORIST is now effectively devoid of useful meaning.

It died a premature death at the hands and lips of democrat party demagogues and ideologues.

TERRORIST now joins other words like GAY, FAIR, EQUAL, ILLEGAL, NIGGARDLY, FETUS and terms like PRO-CHOICE, FAIRNESS DOCTRINE, and TAX REBATE on the fast growing Double-Speak rubble pile.

These are words and terms that have intentionally been so twisted, distorted, misused and inverted by democrats that they now have lost most, or all, of their original meaning and are practically useless in their original context.

Lemme get this straight - California has term limits, and still a legislator can characterize "petition[ing] the government for a redress of grievances" as a "terrorist threat" (comparable to ACORN's bussing in people to openly case your house and neighborhood if Obama fingers you as "greedy") to the "career" of a legislator!

I think the next step after term limits is a minimum age requirement for politicians - say, about 45 years. That way nobody could get into office without having already had a career.

They love to call it "public service," while they actually treat it as a business opportunity.

Bass is a former community organizer.

Well you can sure tell where this person's heart is, coveting other peoples money. This race to a 'new world order' seems to have the liberals taking charge and receiving mass applause for the break neck speed in which they are reenacting the 'French' revolution.

You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech,

Read vote for revenue in ENGLISH, as TAXERS..
She guesses that it is about free speech?
How about we get a law passed that says pnly people that have actually read the US Constitution can be elected to office? The idiots like this women would not matter..
Oh and lady. George Washington was a terrorist as was Adams, Jefferson etc......

[NormsRevenge]

The Enemy Within relied on the backbone and sweat of a lot of republicans to feed their welfare armies and socialist programs over the years.. she has a lot of nerve and little sense of history much less a shred of decency. typical dem,, entitled... and embracing the what’s yours is mine approach.
