Arnold 'a Boob,' Says Pro-Mexico, Anti-U.S. Democrat
Leave it to California state Sen. John Vasconcellos to launch
the first warning shot off the bow of the Legislature’s fifth column.
According to the Oakland Tribune and the Tri-Valley Herald, Vasconcellos,
D-San Jose, called Republican Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger "a boob," said
voters "made a mistake," and announced that when the Legislature reconvenes in
January, "I'm not sure I'll go back."
NewsMax readers will recall that back on June 17, during a legislative
hearing over the Matricula Consular card (SB 522, the bill requiring state
public officers and employees to accept, for identification, the card as
equivalent to a driver’s license or ID card issued by the DMV), Vasconcellos
expressed his opinion that California was stolen from Mexico.
Here’s what happened:
Statements in favor of SB 522 included the Mexican American Legal Defense and
Educational Fund (MALDEF), La Raza, the League of California Cities, the City of
Los Angeles, and the Friends Committee on Legislation.
Statements opposed included several law enforcement and police organizations
and the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Yeh Ling-Ling, the executive director of the Diversity Alliance for a
Sustainable America, stated:
"It frightens me to see that our government is accepting ID cards issued by
foreign governments. For example, in the land of my ancestry, China, the level
of fraudulent documents is very high. Let’s say from the Philippines, Vietnam,
Cambodia, where I lived, with money you can buy basically anything. Including
documents.
"After the bombings [Sept. 11], I urged Congress to protect our borders. Very
few congressional members listened. After the bombings, where thousands of
people died, people were saying, it was unthinkable. Please, think of the list
of what Mexico has been trying to do. What Mexican-American leaders, what many
of them, have said. Mario Obledo said in 1998, quote, 'eventually we are going
to take over all the political institutions of California.'"
"They said publicly that they are going to use immigration to control the
Southwest, retake the Southwest, and eventually, take over the entire U.S. So
please listen to those statements carefully."
Interruption by Vasconcellos: "Since we stole it from them, why do you say
it’s unfair to steal it back from us?"
Yeh Ling-Ling: "I’m sorry?"
Vasconcellos: "We stole it from them in the first place."
Yeh Ling-Ling: "Exactly what do you want to have happen?"
Vasconcellos: "I found your testimony [shaking his head, putting his glasses
down] ... I don’t want to debate you."
Yeh Ling-Ling: [with a questioning look] "Exactly?"
Vasconcellos: "I don’t want to debate you. I’ve listened to what you’ve had
to say, period."
Because nobody in the chamber voiced any objection to Vasconcellos’ remarks,
the reasonable inference is, yes, the Left is moving even further left, and
American legislators such as Vasconcellos truly believe that because the U.S.
supposedly stole Mexico, there isn’t anything to debate.
Thursday’s story in the Herald touched on the senator’s anger with the
Schwarzenegger victory by continuing: "But the strongest reaction came from
Vasconcellos, who told a Bay Area TV station Tuesday night, 'If people want this
actor to govern ... they don't need or deserve me.'"
Memo to John: We don’t deserve you. When the legislature reconvenes in
January, don’t go back. Do us all a favor and call it quits, and allow "The
Boob" to do his job.
