Liberals are always accusing Republicans of promoting divisiveness and campaigning on wedge issues. But this election cycle it is Democrats appear to be doing the dividing and fear mongering; two Sacramento area Democrats in particular. Assemblyman Dave Jones who is a candidate for insurance commissioner and Dr. Richard Pan have chosen to inject the controversial issue of abortion into the heart

If there is one good thing that has come out of America electing Barak Obama to be the nations first black President, it is the way in which the issue of race and race relations has been drawn, kicking and screaming into the public square. Whether we like it or not, old wounds that have never properly healed are now reopened for discussion and debate. Unfortunately though, I am not confident

Once again Democrats with the help of a few soft minded Republicans have passed a massive spending bill to help keep state and local governments from having to make the tough decisions it will take to balance their budgets.

As the 2010 midterm election approaches, President Barak Obama is no longer talking about change we can believe in. Instead, his rhetoric has shifted back to blaming Bush and the Republicans and declaring that things would be much worse if he wasn't in charge.  A recent Associated Press article made note of the significant change in messaging: President Barack Obama, who rocketed to the White

Ya think?I'm glad he's gone, but his departure does little to change the fact that this 'loosely knit' federation of groups still largely condones this type of behavior from its leadership.

“The time is now to provide justice to victims of bias-motivated violence and to re-double our efforts to protect our communities from violence based on bigotry and prejudice.” These were the words uttered by Attorney General Eric Holder a little more than one year ago, as he sought passage of new federal hate crimes legislation. What he didn’t say was that he wasn’t referring to all “bigotry

The end of President Barak Obama’s first year in office was officially marked by his first State of the Union Address.

Currently, the State Legislature is in its Fifth Extraordinary Session, which was called by Governor Schwarzenegger to implement reforms to our educational system that would make our state eligible to compete for over $400 million in federal "Race To The Top" education funds. But, when given an opportunity to make substantive change for the better in California’s education system, the California

Thanks to the pressure put on by parents, community members and pro-family activists the San Juan School Board voted 3-2 to not implement a new policy that would allow them to release students for "confidential medical services" without even notifying their parents. "As a former teacher, current parent of two high school age children and a fellow school board member I know what you are going

President Barak Obama's declaration that America is not a Christian nation has sparked debate and controversy throughout the country. So, how would you answer the question?For me,the answer to this question would depend on your interpretation of what it is to be a “Christian Nation”. America is not is not a theocracy (a church run state) and Americans have never been compelled to believe in any

But tonight is such a night for me.Yesterday evening, I had the chance to visit a friend of mine who is a guest at the Alameda County Jail.

Might Obama be wrong and "crazy" Jim Cramer be right? I just read the response of MSNBC's Jim Cramer to Rush Limbaugh's assertion that he (Cramer) is on the White House "Enemies List". While is disagree with Limbaugh, I find that I agree with Cramer on some key points: the Stimulus Bill could have been more focused on infrastructure spending and included less "boutique" spending (good politics

The hypocracy of the Republican Party never ceases to amaze me.

Maybe it us just me. But I find it outrageous that Birthcontrol would be considered as a part of the economic stimulus package. Regardless of how you feel about birth control, to utilize funds from any economic stimulus proposal to pay for birth control is beyond obsurd. It harkens back to the time when Planned Parenthood's Founder, Margaret Sanger sought to use birth control as a method of

In his inaugural address, President Barack Obama proclaimed, "...an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."But clearly someone in his new administration didn't get the memo.

I was listening to conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt discuss the swearing in ceremony of President Barak Obama when a caller likened the experience to being the father of the bride at a wedding where he never approved of the groom. And I honestly have to say that I could not think of a more appropriate analogy than the one this man had so cleverly offered.I am a black Republican, who also

However, today - the 80th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - my brother argued (somewhat effectively) that the Republican Party is actually better-aligned with the issue interests of Blacks.

Today, Democrats will be offering $5 billion in new taxes, calling them fees. It is believed that by calling them fees, they can be passed by majority vote, rather than the 2/3 vote requirement that is necessary to raise taxes: meaning, they could conceivably pass this without any Republican votes.Admittedly, I am not sure that this is the case. But cut me some slack, Republicans just got the

Watching the Congressional Republicans these last few weeks, I was reminded of a sitcom from the early 1970s called "All In The Family" - a groundbreaking show that featured actor Carol O'Connor as Archie Bunker, a working-class, very outspoken man, prejudiced against everyone and everything not in agreement with his view of the world.

This video comes from a website called OneAngryMan.com .I find it funny how little these Obama voters know about the candidates or their campaigns.Normally I would dismiss stuff like this as juvenille propoganda. But the responses in this video are totally consistant with just about every encounter I had with Obama supporters.The video's creator writes:On the evening of November 4th, 2008 I along

The battle for CD 4 between Charlie Brown and Tom McClintock is still up in the air as they continute to count ballots. The same is true for AD 10 as GOP hopeful Jack Sieglock hopes to fend off his democratic opponent, Alice Huber. And what can we expect from Sacramento's Mayor-Elect, Kevin Johnson? He is in the minority (Only three of members of the nine seat city council supported him) and will

During an interview with the Sacramento Bee editorial staff, California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass commented on the “hostility” that the LGTB community has shown towards blacks after the passage of Prop 8, which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.During a videotaped interview, Bass told of how blacks who actually voted against the measure were confronted with “racial epithets”

I knew it was only a matter of time before my fellow Republicans started taking pot shots at us religious conservatives; blaming us for the outcome of this most recent election. (See Kathleen Parker: Religious right threatens Republican Party's future)Is it just me or wasn’t the man at the top of our ticket a guy who took great pride in the fact that he was not a member of the Christian right?

After running the most effective campaign $ 1 billion can buy, Barak Obama has won the presidency of the United States of America.If I sound bitter, I’m not. The American public has spoken. This election was about change; and clearly Barak Obama offered the kind of change that voters were looking for. My only question is, what kind of change exactly is that?Throughout the election, I came across

According to the California Republican Party, Secretary of State, Debra Bowen's office refused to fulfull their request for 20,000 voter registration cards. The excuse given was that the delayed budget caused them to run low on printed voter registration cards. When confronted by the media, Bowen's office denied any such shortage.

This week the Sacramento County Republican Party was in the news for having items on their website that some called racially motivated, others called stupid,sophomoric jokes. In any case, the issue has ignited a firestorm that leaves many asking "Who is really playing the race card in this year's historic presidential election?"David believes that the Republicans are up to their old tricks,

The Sacramento Reeps have gone there! See this article in the Bee about the County Republican Party website that compares Senator Obama and Osama Bin Laden.Its simple pandering to base fear and it is flirting with crossing the line of racial division. The McCain campaign has been flirting with this line for weeks now, and it has finally landed in Sacramento.For his part, my brother Craig is

From 2001 to 2003 Barak Obama refused to vote for a bill that would have protected the lives of children who born as the result of a botched abortion. Under current law in Illinois, a child that is born during an abortion is denied medical services and is in essense left to die. I find it difficult to understand how anyone could vote against protecting the life of a child. This is not about

As Democrats continue to try and hang the financial crisis around the neck of John McCain, their own words are coming back to haunt them.Republicans are the ones who have pushed to reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while Democrats continually fight any regulation.I am not saying the Republicans are completely free of blame. The fact is, they were in charge in 2001 when this issue first popped

So McCain "suspends" his campaign to demonstrate leadership in the financial crisis... gets the House Republicans to obstruct a deal for no good reason and with no real alternative... and finally, says little or nothing in the key meeting between the White House and Congressional leaders... So much for being a Maverick! Read it here in the NY Times. Even the official newspaper of the Republican

The Republicans want you to believe that the Democrats are solely to blame for the financial crisis, even though they themselves had 10 years to fix the problem (including four years of control of both the White House and the Congress).Now, since that lie didn't work, they want to pin the tail on the Donkey by pointing out all the money Dems have taken from Fanny and Freddy (see Craig's recent
