{Its presence in the same spot for 17 years helped keep the Westside downscale.
And, don't think that won't happen. We were headed that way before citizens started voting in tough on crime and improvement minded people to the City Council.

Confused about the election in Costa Mesa this year?
The Improvers, who have been behind bringing the ICE agent to Costa Mesa, which has resulted in deporting almost 1,000 criminals, and who shepherded the Westside Revitalization Plan, and who have been in the forefront of efforts to underground the SR-55, and who have been tireless in efforts to stop John Wayne from expanding, and much more, say you only have three choices if you want true improvement to continue: Jim Righeimer, Gary Monahan, Eric Bever.
The Improvers believe that with these 3,we can continue driving down crime and driving out gangs and making Costa Mesa the best city in Orange County.
-Our student school scores were lower than any city surrounding us except Santa Ana.
-Our home prices were lower than any city surrounding us except Santa Ana.
-We had more rentals vs. owner occupied residences than any city surrounding us, including Santa Ana.
-We had more gangs, gang violence and related problems than any city surrounding us except Santa Ana.
-We had more of our land zoned for industrial uses than any city surrounding us except Santa Ana.
-We also had a job center funded by Costa Mesa citizens and used by more than a few suspected illegal aliens who provided labor for many Newport Beach citizens.
In 2004, Eric Bever, who had been one of the first Improvers, and whose early political experience mostly involved passing out Improvement fliers in front of Home Depot, ran for the Council and won.
For this column, let's just call these slates the Improver Slate and the non-Improver Slate. Remember, these are our terms. None of the nine candidates may agree with our characterizations at all and not one of them has chosen to be so categorized.

And, as far as we know, the almost daily Daily Pilot has never reported on this matter.

JIM RIGHEIMER
GARY MONAHAN
ERIC BEVER
...........................................
Vote for the 3--Righeimer, Monahan and Bever to keep improving Costa Mesa and to stop lefties from making Costa Mesa an illegal alien sanctuary city.
Under the present improver majority on the City Council, almost a thousand illegal alien criminals have been booted out of Costa Mesa. And, our violent crime rates are dropping!
Your vote counts in Costa Mesa. Vote for the low crime, better city 3.

PROP 8
We're voting Yes on Prop. 8.
Words mean things. We believe that "marriage" means the union of a man and a woman.
For those who want a longer answer, read on. But there's a twist at the end.
You will note that we came to our decision by more of an ontological route than you may be used to hearing.
Breeders?
We find it amusing that some of the most vocal no on 8 proponents refer derisively to male/female couples as "breeders."
Breeders? Yes, that's what we are and that's what we're supposed to be. That's why nature (or God, if you prefer) made us the way we're made. If we weren't supposed to breed, we'd all be male or all be female and we all would have died off millions of years ago.
Breeders are pro-life, i.e. they make life. They expand. They multiply. They are pro-nature.
All gay people had breeder parents. Their parents went forth and multiplied and that's why the gay people who now deride breeders even exist at all.
"Go forth and multiply" is written in nature
Millions of years before humans existed, and millions of years before the "go forth and multiply" command was written in the Bible, nature said go forth and multiply. And, it was said throughout all of existence. Nature has always said the same thing. It has never said, "don't go forth and don't multiply."
Not going forth and not multiplying leads to contraction rather than expansion. This is true on the cosmic level and on the human level. Contraction is anti-life. Expansion is pro-life. One need do no more than observe nature to see this.
One can be an atheist or agnostic
One can be an atheist or agnostic and still arrive at the same conclusion about going forth and multiplying as contained in the Bible.
What is life?
Life (remember, we're leaving out religious concepts) is the conversion of minerals into a form of existence that is self-replicating and which we now understand has expanded and has taken a trajectory leading from the first single cell, to life that has ever higher consciousness, awareness and intelligence.
In our species, the way we go forth and multiply--to make more life like us--is by the union of male and female. There is no other natural way. That's how we pass on "us." The code--the blueprint--for "us" is contained in our DNA.
23 + 23=46=Human life=survival and continued existence
Our DNA is formed into clumps called chromosomes that are in every cell in our body. Human beings have 46 chromosomes. The human male contributes 23 of his chromosomes and the human female contributes 23 of her chromosomes when they make a new life. On those 46 chromosomes are the 30,000 or so genes that are normal for humans and which make each of us, us.
When the 23 and the 23 join to make 46 chromosomes, there is a new human started that is designed to survive and carry the genes forward into the future. That's how one survives and continues to exist--even if there is no spiritual after life. We are our genes and our genes are us.
Nature's way is for us to breed and expand. Not doing that is, by definition, not natural.
Loving v. Virginia
We saw a comment written in support of gay marriage in which it was argued that the Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia, a landmark case that struck down miscegenation laws, should also be applied to gay marriage and thus allow gay marriage.
We find that a stretch because, in Loving, the Court wrote:
"Marriage is one of the basic civil rights of man, fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."
We focus on the phrase "fundamental to our very existence and survival," as the foundation upon which the Court's decision rests.
Those who support gay marriage should explain how homosexual marriage allows for our very existence and survival. It doesn't, and it can't, because existence and survival mean that we multiply ourselves as we discussed above. Gay marriage doesn't accomplish that. Wrong plumbing, as they say in the trade.
It'll take more than Loving
The proponents of gay marriage will probably have to do better than rely on Loving. (Hey, we didn't make this up. That's the family name of the couple involved).
Lawrence v. Texas
A stronger argument for gay marriage can probably be made with Lawrence v. Texas which struck down anti-sodomy laws. But even this is a stretch. (We won't bore you with all the details here, just read the case if you're interested).
Individual freedom
And, this leads some of us who believe in individual freedom to say this: We don't care what anyone does so long as they harm no others, but we see no reason to change the traditional definition of marriage and we believe that doing so will lead to contraction rather than expansion.
In other words, we believe in nature and life.
We argue in the alternative...we will also vote Yes to save Laguna Beach
On the other hand, it could be argued that if it is true that, as many gays now assert, homosexuality is genetic, then allowing gay marriage (and the normalization of homosexuality in society) will tend to have the effect of keeping gays from faking being straight and marrying people of the opposite sex and reproducing. Then, since they aren't reproducing the "gay genes," gays will eventually die off.
This, of course, will leave Laguna Beach partially depopulated and lower home values since demand will be down.
So, this gives us another reason to vote yes on Prop 8--to help save Laguna Beach!

ANOTHER 75 LET GO AT THE LA TIMES
Link
We have our fingers crossed that the almost daily Daily Pilot survives. Frankly, as we've written before, we think Sam Zell is grooming it for sale. But that's just a guess.
Zell would probably come out best if he completely broke bulk and sold the pieces for as much cash as possible. However, given the times, suitors will probably want a package and generous financing arrangements.

And, if you elect Righeimer, Monahan and Bever they'll join Allan Mansoor and Wendy Leece on the dais to continue the great steps that have been taken already.
With your votes, citizens will finally have a great, well-rounded and balanced team of improvement minded Councilmembers who will be able to move beyond the divisiveness and petty bickering that marked the Flopsy Katrina Foley era.
FOLEY WOULDN'T SIGN THE LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUSH!
When a city like Costa Mesa has been run into the ground by lefties for many years, it takes time to turn it around.
But,thanks to the citizens of this city who see through the smoke and mirrors of the likes of Flopsy Katrina Foley and her wine and cheese pals, Costa Mesa is turning around and is once again becoming more like a great American city and less like a crime filled sanctuary city.
For a nicer, safer Costa Mesa, here's what your eyes should tell your brain about your ballot on November 4.

If you think this is stupid, why didn't you speak out? The CM PRESS went to the Council meeting and spoke against having us pay for this service.
How about cutting some of the day care and similar programs that mostly benefit suspected illegal aliens but which are paid for by citizens?
Look folks, there are nine people running for City Council, but only four of them are "real" candidates--Jim Righeimer, Gary Monahan, Eric Bever and Katrina Foley--the rest have no chance of winning and most will quickly disappear after the election and we'll never hear from them again.

GOOD POST FROM COLIN MCCARTHY OVER AT THE ALMOST DAILY DAILY PILOT BLOG (LINK)
colin mccarthy wrote on Oct 23, 2008 7:27 AM:
" Costa Migra? The statistics don't lie. FBI stats show in 2007, Zero murders on Costa Mesa, ZERO. Violent crime down 16% from 2006; robbery, assault, burglary, auto theft, arson, ALL DOWN from 2005 and 2006. More needs to be done, but it was Bever, Monahan and Mansoor who supported the ICE program and took a stand on public safety. If you want Costa Mesa to be a safer place for you and your family, Bever and Monahan deserve your vote this election. Check for yourself, www.fbi.gov. "

The Freedom Homes tract has about 830 homes that were built in 1953. The original homes are small, have a single bathroom, three bedrooms and usually no garage. Over the years, more and more people have been improving these homes to more modern standards and Mayor Bever's plans should help even more people upgrade.
Here's the thing about the Freedom Homes neighborhood that you may not know unless you've driven around in the neighborhood: it's an absolute gem! Get thirty feet into the tract off Victoria and you'll think you're miles away out in the country. Seriously.
