A similar situation exists in the area I live in. Most folks vote anti-firearm, but most folks secretly own one.

The success of those in Malibu should be used as an example for the less fortunate in the depths of LA. Public spiritied folks could fund a "free bus to the beach" program to ensure throngs of the lovely teenage crowd from places like Watts and Compton could take advantage of the sand and waves, while getting to meet the homeowners there.

Exactly right. This ought to become an issue for maxine watered. Someone ought to interview her on the confrontation. The democRATS ought to have their noses rubbed in this issue and not just on a state wide basis but nationally.

Yes. If Racism cannot be fought in Malibu, it cannot be fought.

Limo liberals are hilarious. They actually don't believe the laws they support apply to them. I'd love to see Geffen's tax return after it's been treated by his phalanx of accountants and attorneys, to figure what his effective tax rate is. I'd venture to guess it's around 20%.

I love the smell of libral hypocrisy in the, well, anytime. It smells like, well, it has for as long as I can remember.
Damn, I was hoping for something witty to come out.
I just saw a story on this on the Fox Report. I hate siding with the liberals, but I think they have a point. I just find there to be something quite fun though in watching them get what they have foistered on the rest of us, with their efforts, for years.

I saw this on TV tonight; man, they are HOT. One woman said, "They go to the bathroom here and we do NOT have toilets for them."

Are we supposed to feel pity for these Soviet state dwellers ?
To: Howlin
Those look like multi-bathroom homes to me. Surely each of those loving liberals would be happy to set aside one bathroom in their home for the kids on the beach.

Where were these folks when it came to Klamath Falls???
To: Senator Pardek
The fight escalated earlier this month when record mogul and huge Democratic Party moneybags David Geffen, along with the city of Malibu, filed suit against the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and other parties over access to the beach across his property. [He] was a free man in Paris / [He] felt unfettered and alive...

After reading Bernard Goldberg's Bias, it's much easier to understand the liberal mindset. Liberals take a position they feel is ideologically correct in general, but are loathe to follow it if that would affect them personally.
Goldberg surmises they have some latent guilt about their success. I think they're just hypocrites who want to tell others how they should live and think, but won't tolerate anyone dictating the same to them.
One good example in the book is a conversation Goldberg had with a TV executive. The executive expressed a wish to hire more minorities in the upper levels of TV production. Goldberg suggested that the executive could resign his own position with the stipulation that a minority be hired in his place. He responded with a contemptuous chuckle.

I hate siding with the liberals, but I think they have a point. You're not siding with liberals, they're siding with you. Consider it a small victory.

Most of these people could probably be described as 'homeless advocates'. But let's see how much compassion they show for the homeless if a group of them move into their garage.

Easements agreed to before Nollan still must be honored . . . But they first must be adopted by an entity, either public or privatePerhaps, in exchange for some hefty donations to some property rights groups, the easements could be un-adopted.
