LATINO POWER VS. JEWISH POWER IN SANTA ANA

Machisma pitted against chutzpah.  Will Alvarez be forced to resign?  If so, will the liberal  mostly Democrat Latino population be angry at the liberal mostly Democrat Jewish population?

We're waiting now for someone to start one of those PR "polls" that happen during election years that will count the number of bagels sold vs. the number of tacos sold on 4th Street.

Buy a taco and support Alvarez or buy a bagel and support Chase.

Will the GOP now sound off on the issue or will the Republicans be smart and just watch the liberal Dems fracture their vote?

Mark our words, this has the potential to be much bigger than just a Santa Ana issue. 

Stay tuned.

CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS DECLARES WAR ON  'RACIST' TEA PARTY

So, an all Black group--that doesn't even have a White in the window--calls the Tea Party, that always tries hard to put a Black in the window, racist.

Unfortunately, some low self-esteem Whites in the Tea Party will urinate all over themselves to prove that they aren't racist and they'll trot out some Black who doesn't have a chance of winning even a dog catcher election as their great Black hope for president.

Yawn.

NEWPORT COPS LOOKING FOR MISSING WOMAN

And, since it is always helpful to have a full description to locate someone, the Daily Pilot uses the word "Latina."

However, in the above case, the Latina is not a criminal suspect.

Contrast the above way the Pilot gave a full description with the way it often reports crime stories. When Latinos are involved as criminal suspects, there is usually no racial or ethnic description given.

See how it works?

It's not because of rice or soy sauce.  It's genes.

BE SURE TO READ THE COMMENTS FOLLOWING ARTICLES IN THE NEW SANTA ANA BLOG

The liberals are fighting each other and it's a laugh a minute.

Here's a recap of the situation:  A Jewish developer is buying up commercial properties on 4th Street in Santa Ana, and he's trying to upgrade the area to attract a more affluent and hip clientele.  More affluent and hip, in this case, means white people.

The present tenants in the buildings he's buying are mostly Latino merchants who are used to selling to blue collar Latino customers with little money.

Latino liberals, including one Latina City Councilwoman are whispering (and in some cases not so quietly) that ethnic cleansing is going on and that this is Nazi like.

In fact, the Latina Councilwoman used the term "ethnic cleansing" and brought up the name "Hitler," at a recent City Council meeting.  When she did that, the Jewish developer and his son got incensed, and now there are cries of anti-Semitism being leveled at the Latina City Councilwoman and those who support her.

The battle lines are interesting.

It is Latinos on one side and those who want to improve the central core of Santa Ana on the other.

But, because the issue of anti-Semitism has entered the picture, some Latinos who oppose the gentrification of the area are now attacking the Latina City Councilwoman who is also against gentrification and the Latinos who are attacking the Latina City Councilwoman are in turn are being attacked by other Latinos who say they are "traitors to their own people."  This last charge is interesting because some of those saying it (which could be considered a racist statement, could it not?) are saying that the developer is "racist." 

Meanwhile, some are saying that the Latina Councilwoman is not racist.

The funny thing in all this is that no one defines "racist" and, as usual, the term is used for just about everything. 

Generalized abstractions such as "racist," that can mean whatever the speaker wants them to mean, are often used as cudgels against opponents. And, in Santa Ana, all sides are using the term.  We told you liberals and lefties have tiny misshapen brains, didn't we?

It's gotten so silly that one half expects that  if you go to 4th Street and choose a donut over a bagel, you'll be called an anti-Semite and if you ask that you have extra cream in your coffee, you'll be called a racist.

HOARY NEW YORKER DOES ARTICLE ON COSTA MESA

The magazine will now be displayed (mostly unread) on coffee tables of blue haired ladies on the Upper East Side so visitors to their apartments will think they are cultured.

Ah, the masks we wear to tell the world we are this or that when inside we are nothing of the sort. 

Say, that's a little like going to church just to be seen going to church or like putting "In God We Trust" on the back wall of the Costa Mesa City Council chambers to show we trust in God, even if we, ourselves, aren't trustworthy.
