Why I support John Eastman

I thought I would share with you why I believe that John Eastman would make a great California Attorney General. First, let me say that I have known John Eastman since the early eighties. John has been involved in the Conservative Movement for many years and brings with him a great deal of experience and integrity.

To begin with,John who has a Ph.D. in Government, served in the Civil Rights Commission as Director of Public Affairs during President Reagan’s administration in the early 1980’s. He also served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. His specialty as a Faculty member at Chapman University includes Constitutional law, Legal History, and property. Until recently he served as Dean of the Chapman University School of law.

However, besides his academic achievements and experience, John is a solid Conservative. He never has and never will Compromise his beliefs or principals.
As California Attorney General he will work diligently to protect our freedoms and
will also put the rights of citizens and victims over criminals. John is not a professional politician, he is someone who strongly believes in Conservative Values and Principals that our State and Country so desperately need. That is why he received the endorsement of the California Republican Assembly, an organization which is referred to as the Conscience of the Republican Party. In June my vote for California Attorney General will be for John Eastman.

Are Republicans at Risk?

As conservatives are battling with less-than-conservatives for control of the party, the less-thans led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham are supporting liberal legislation like Cap-and-Trade and further immigration reform while talking as if they have always been conservative on all issues. They talk the talk but they don't walk the walk. John McCain now in a vitriolic primary fight might actually come out against immigration reform this time around, in an effort to protect his seat.

But disturbing as all this is, Republicans have been quick to embrace the tea party movement as their own. Maybe a little too quick? The Tea Party movement is fiercely independent, so much so that the leadership is having trying to convince the movement that they should turn into a long term fixture on the political scene. A large part of the TeaParty movement are people who want their government to give them the rights guaranteed by the Constitution but otherwise want to be left alone. Some are turning into highly qualified candidates, who without the TeaParty movement might never have sought public office, and others are becoming effective campaign volunteers. Not since the time of Barry Goldwater when hordes of libertarians stormed the GOP bastions has the Republican Party faced such upheaval. The TeaParty movement's candidate of choice-Sarah Palin. Mitt Romney may have lots of favors built up and the establishment likes a male candidate with his credentials, but the TeaParty movement sees through the political nonsense to the inner person and he is viewed as a run of the mill politician. The California TeaParty Movement overwhelmingly like Chuck DeVore for US Senate although seem a little hesitant to display their enthusiasm publicly, hopefully this will change as the election gets closer.

What is interesting to note is that Republican analysts and long-time political consultants really do not understand the implications of what is happening. They view this primary election as just one of many. What they do not understand is that because of the Marxists in the Obama administration and controlling Congress, the country has taken a violent swing in the other direction. Republicans will be beating Democrats, and conservative Republicans will be beating their less-than-conservative opponents. Democrats see this which is why they are retiring in droves. As further evidence that the Dems see it is the fact that they are now infiltrating local groups and starting TeaParty parties in at least a few states, to pull votes from Republicans. But neither infiltration nor starting phony political parties is a strateegy that seem to be working.

The best thing about Obama is that he is basically an ineffective President, imagine what he could have done by now if he had the political acumen of an LBJ, and that he and his cohorts have destroyed the Democrat party. It will take them years to recover if they ever do. The only states in which they will survive, are in places like California, where the gerrymandered districts will keep them in control for at least a couple more years.

Why Proposition 14 must be defeated

Our California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was elected as a Republican and still is a Registered Republican, has come up with another way to make the California Republican Party obsolete in California. The Governor who really is a Closeted Liberal Kennedy Democrat is supporting and raising money for the passage of Proposition 14. If this initiative passes it would only allow the top two Candidates to participate in the General Election regardless of Party. That means that if a district is heavily democrat and the two top vote getters are democrats, then Republicans like myself would have no one to vote for in the General Election. The Governor feels so strongly in getting this initiative passed, that he has contributed quite a bit of his own money,$500,000, into its passage.

What I find amusing about this is that when Schwarzenegger ran in the recall Davis Campaign, I heard a lot of my Republican friends tell me that he just could not be as bad as Davis and figured he was the better of the two evils. On there first point they were partially correct because he was not as bad as Davis,he was worse then Gray Davis and yes he did turn out to be the evil we were trying to avoid. For your information in that election I voted for the Real Republican Tom McClintock.

Another point to be made is the smaller parties such as the libertarians or Peace and Freedom Parties would have zero chance to be on the general election ballot. While some may disagree with what they stand for, the incredible arrogance of Governor Schwarzenegger shows that he has no sense of fairness.

I intend to vote against the Governor’s Proposition 14 and look forward to seeing his retirement from politics in January 2011. I also hope that in the future, Republicans no long buy the argument of the better of two evils.

Introducing Myself

I have been asked to do something that I said I would never do. That is to be a Blogger. So, since I am going to give it a shot, let me first make a few things clear. I am not William F Buckley Jr. Do not expect big words that you need to look up in a dictionary. Do not expect perfect Grammar. At least with spelling, I can do spell check on my computer.

So why did I decide to do this? First, for those of you who know me, I have an opinion on almost every topic, even if I do not know what I am talking about. Just ask my family, they are all liberal Democrats, while I am a Conservative Republican with a touch of Libertarian. It makes for interesting arguments when I visit them or they visit me. Of course, I still love them all.

Seriously though, I believe that there is a need to rebuild the Conservative Movement across our Nation. Unfortunately, there is Confusion by many as to what it means to be a Conservative. Conservatism is not necessarily a political party. It is a set of principals which have represented the core values of what has kept America free over two hundred years. Unfortunately, with the current Congress and President, those Freedoms are threatened today more then at any time in our history. That is why we must do everything we can to keep the Freedoms we have and restore the ones we have lost.

I knew I became a Conservative at age 17. What influenced me? First there was a conservative by the name of M. Stanton Evans who was a commentator on the CBS Radio Network. I would listen to his Commentaries every chance I got, and realized that what he said was true and made sense to me. Little did I know at the time that I would meet him a couple of years later at a Convention of Young Americans for Freedom. I also learned that he had been at the Founding of the Organization and had written its Statement of Principals call the Sharon Statement.

I was also influenced by two books written in the late seventies that I read. The first was “A Time For Truth” by William E. Simon, a former Secretary of the Treasury and “Restoring the American Dream” by Robert J. Ringer. In both books both Authors felt that the growth of government was threatening our Freedoms.

So that is why I decided to proceed to write a blog. President Reagan said it best when he said "The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Maybe Sooner Than You Think . . .

McCain Stumps for Fiorina while DeVore gears up Campaign

John McCain, who is in a tough primary battle in his native Arizona, swings quickly through California making a campaign pitch for Carly Fiorina. Isn’t it bad enough that Fiorina is trying to present herself as a conservative in the Golden State, the home or Ronald Reagan, but to have her pitchman, the poster boy for the ‘old boy’ Republicans, raising money for her in our state is deplorable. The real conservative in this race, Chuck DeVore, is busily getting his statewide campaign team in motion to get all the wheels turning before the June Primary.


During McCain’s Presidential bid, he started off with a good solid economic team, people like Phil Gramm and Dick Armey, and quickly replace them with opportunist Fiorina, shortly after she had been ousted as Chairman of HP, by the Packard family. Not much of an endorsement for a top economic job if you ask me. McCain showed during the campaign he has a definite lack of knowledge on economic issues, hurrying home in the middle of the campaign to vote for the stimulus package (otherwise known as the Democrat political payoff), and then for his supreme lack of judgment in his economic team.

Now as a political payoff, he is stumping for Fiorina, trying to bring his ‘old boy’ form of Republicanism to California. We will have none of that here! McCain is in the primary fight of his life as conservatives still blame him for Obama, and former Congressman J.D. Hayworth may be able to defeat him in the primary, despite the Dems best efforts to mount an ineffective ‘TeaParty’ party attack to siphon off Repub votes. J.D. Hayworth is viewed as the lessor of two evils, since he is known for his liberal use of earmarks.
