California fiscal emergency declared, IOUs expected soon

The IOUs aren’t in the mail but they are soon likely after California political leaders failed to reach a last-minute deal on fixing a $24.3 billion budget deficit Tuesday night.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday declared a fiscal emergency to force lawmakers into a special session.

“Though the legislature failed to solve our budget problem yesterday, rest assured that solving the entire deficit remains my first and only priority, and I will not rest until we get it done. I will not be a part of pushing this crisis down the road — the road stops here,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.

The governor’s declaration under Proposition 58 requires lawmakers to adopt a plan to close the deficit within 45 days.

You can’t take an IOU to the pharmacy and get your prescriptions filled. Your kids can’t wear an IOU. You can’t EAT an IOU. How long does anyone think it will take for California to erupt in full blown RIOT MODE?

Those asshats in South Central, Watts and Cudahy don’t need much of an excuse. They have gone on a rampage simply because Rodney King got his ass beat. How long do you think it will take when bellies get empty and kids are sick?

How long do you think it will take to erupt when their loved ones are dying because they haven’t got the insulin they need to stay alive or the heart medications or cancer fighting drugs they need to stay alive? A desperate human is a dangerous animal.

Schwarzenegger also signed an executive order forcing 220,000 state workers to take a third furlough day without pay beginning this month.

I suppose they can live with that. It will hurt, just not as bad as being completely out of a job. But honestly, will that furlough day even be a drop in the bucket? I don’t have a clue, I hope BZ, Gawfer or Bushwack will weigh in here, they are a lot more knowledgeable concerning California.

The governor proposed $16 billion in cuts, borrowing $2 billion from local governments and taking $6 billion from other government accounts. He also backs accelerated personal and corporate income tax collections, as well as a 5 percent cut in state employee pay.

Borrow, cut pay, increase taxes, hmmm. I thought Arnie was a Republican?? Oh, wait, he’s a Kennedy in disguise, I forgot, just a RINO poser that thinks you can borrow, cut salaries and tax your way out of everything. Remind you of any other foreign born poser in power?

State leaders thought they had resolved the current year budget earlier than ever when they adopted one in February, but the recession cut tax revenue by about 20 percent since then.

So, tax revenue drops and Arnie proposes RAISING taxes. What the hell? I know Arnie isn’t a *country person* like some of us, I guess he never heard the old expression, ‘You can’t get blood from a turnip’.

Things are bad all over, but it looks like California is in worse shape than anyone at this moment. Then you throw in the welfare that California pays out, and the medical care they provide, and I am talking about that provided to ILLEGALS. Well, couple that with LEGAL citizens already being very angry, the ILLEGALS not getting their *free cheese* and then throw in an incredibly unstable gang population that would likely thrive in the event of civil insurrection and there you have it.

A recipe for disaster.

A *Call in Conservative* Protest

I found this over at Conservative Libertarian Outpost, and I have got to tell you, Patrick is a good personal friend, but this post just lit me up!

Conservatives who love their country, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and human liberty have had enough. Word came last night that a massive protest is planned in order to send Washington a message.

On July 30, conservatives are ‘going Galt,’ named after Ayn Rand’s famous character John Galt from her novel Atlas Shrugged, and thus refuse to show up for work. They plan to ‘call in conservative.’

From the Eastside TeaParty blog:

On July 30th, Conservatives are “Going Galt”. On that date, we are asking Conservatives all across the nation to “Call in Conservative”. On July 30th, Conservatives will not work, we will not buy. Instead, we will spend time with our families and friends. We will show President Obama and Congress who REALLY drives this economy. For more information on “A Day Without Conservatives , contact Judson Phillips at judson@teapartynation.com

The next quote is an EXACT copy of the email I just sent TO Judson Philips.

I wonder how many OUT OF WORK Conservatives are gonna not go in to, uh, wait.

Not go in to work?? The next day unemployment would be UP, a lot of businesses will be looking for new employees, this is a target rich environment. Folks are desperate for jobs.

I am not at all convinced that *calling in conservative* is a good thing, UNLESS, those that do, actually take to the streets in a concerted effort and massive PUBLIC protest.

If anyone thinks *calling in conservative* and then sitting on their fat asses at home is an effective protest, they need their heads examined.

OK, I am starting to seriously wonder if some TEA Party groups are getting too far out there in the WRONG direction.

Let me make this crystal clear, I want there to be NO misunderstanding; I am speaking for me on this post, NOT for the TEA Party group I belong to, this is NOT an official TEA Party post.

What I am, in MY opinion, is a concerned citizen asking a serious question. What the hell good is it going to do to miss work and stay at home? And what kind of so-called leadership would hatch such a lame-brained idea?

I am all for effective protest, but calling in to work, *Calling in Conservative*, and sitting at the house, or spending time with family and friends is NOT a protest. It a DAY OFF! It’s a day of LOST WAGES for many families that desperately need every penny they can lay hands on!

I ask ALL of you, honestly, do YOU think *Calling in Conservative* and sitting at home is an effective method of protest?

Personally, I think this is a LAME effort at best, nothing more than a *feel good* kind of thing, one of those ‘well, I did MY protest’ kind of things.

Look, if you’re going to protest, do it right, GET SOME ATTENTION!! Take it to the streets! Between now and July 30th you have plenty of time to organize. Get LOUD, get LARGE, get MEDIA coverage and by God, have a real PROTEST!

If you want to stay home and have a cozy little day with family and friends, OK, that’s great, do it, but don’t call it a PROTEST, unless that day with family and friends is spent in OPEN protest.

Sheesh, talk about sounding like a bunch of libber tree huggers.

White firefighters win Supreme Court appeal

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.

The ruling could alter employment practices nationwide and make it harder to prove discrimination when there is no evidence it was intentional.

New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam because no African-Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results, the court said Monday in a 5-4 decision. The city said that it had acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities.

The ruling could give Sotomayor’s critics fresh ammunition two weeks before her Senate confirmation hearing. Conservatives say it shows she is a judicial activist who lets her own feelings color her decisions. On the other hand, liberal allies say her stance in the case demonstrates her restraint and unwillingness to go beyond established precedents.

Full Story Here:
White firefighters win Supreme Court appeal

Sonia Sotomayor is a judicial activist and she does let her feelings color her decisions. Her words and judicial decisions stand in testament. And this is one example;

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,”

Sotomayor is, in MY opinion, a racist of the 1st order. And again, in MY opinion, she is going to attempt to legislate from the bench. She is the worst choice for the SCOTUS that FREE Americans could ever face. She is however, the perfect choice for a POTUS that may very well be a Kenyan in disguise. A FAKE president.

I’m not saying that we can’t work with a moderate on the SCOTUS, but Sotomayor is NOT a moderate, not in ANY way. She is a Hispanic, female, racist, activist, and if she is seated on the SCOTUS, how can any more of her ridiculous rulings ever be overturned?

Employment has long been the victim of affirmative action. Applicants have been graded on a curve, test scores have been adjusted to make up for low scores.

I don’t care what color the police officer, fire fighter, doctor, teacher or any other person is. The color of their skin should NEVER be the reason for ANY person to hold a particular job or is promoted in the course OF that job.

Grading on a curve is a joke. Standardize testing is the only way to go. Promotions should be based on knowledge and merit. Set the criteria for pass and fail, if individuals don’t PASS, by the standard that is set for all, too bad, so sad. Maybe you just weren’t cut out for that particular position. No matter WHAT color you are.

If our educational system is to blame for certain groups not scoring as well as others, or not getting the same level of quality education as other groups, address the problem in the educational system. Don’t penalize the people because they made the highest score, and through no fault of their own just don’t happen to be the right race or color to make the necessary numbers add up!

Folks, we have some serious battles coming, the Sotomayor nomination is one of them. Cap and Trade in the Senate is another. Hammer your Senators unmercifully, be they Democrat, Republican or Independent. Hammer them to the point that they in NO WAY have ANY doubt where We, The People stand on these issues.

Accept nothing but their very best. Demand their very best!. If they give you less than the best, remove them from office.

And this just in:

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s cap-and-trade proposal, which is scheduled to be voted on by the House of Representatives today:

Sen. Cornyn: Texas Would Suffer Major Losses Under Cap-And-Trade

Let’s see where Kay Bailey Hutchison falls in on this. She may vote against Cap and Trade, but even if she does, she is DONE in my opinion. No matter HOW she votes this time, she is a wild card at best and needs to be put to pasture.
