Those Devious,
Devisive, Dirty DEMO-Gogs Destroy
CA Stubbs, SAL Commentary

 

Our Texas Liberals have learned well how to use Daschle, Devious, Destructive, Democrat, Divisive, Demagoguery to stifle Federal and State Government.

I call this the DDDDDD Syndrome.  

Now that our Texas Rabble Rouser Crowd has learned this Daschle way to shut down government, there is no end to the damage we can expect from them in the future. 

If we have learned anything from Afghanistan and Iraq, it is that the ability of Snipers and Gorilla Warfare Forces to block progress and divide spoils has prospered.

Accordingly, look out for Political Snipers, Liberal Bombshell Legislation, and War Lord Counter Attacks all designed to confiscate and redistribute your wealth.   

This old country boy never trusts those who stab the system and citizens in the back.  If they do it one time you can be sure there will be a next time.

Those of us who don't turn tail and run when the going gets tough, need to write down the names of every one of these deserters.

Then, when the next election comes around, lets see how many we can send on a one way ticket back to Ardmore, Oklahoma.

We may have to pay those Okee's to keep them, but, believe me it would be well worth it to be rid of them.

SA Police Union Takes A Flyer
$26,000 'Extortion' Note Sent
To Your Mail Box
CA Stubbs, SAL Commentary

The San Antonio Police Union recently sent out a political flyer which, when examined closely between the lines, amounts more to an extortion letter than to a political statement.

"Pay us more, if you want public safety," is the not-so-hidden message.

And in an even more brazen tactic, they imply blame for the deaths of four police officers on OUR refusal to give them more money.

They have used this approach before to grab hefty raises, more manpower, and above all more of our tax dollars.      

Well, congratulations, Carroll Schubert, Julian Castro, and Enrique Barrera for saying "hell no."

The "Cry Babies" in the Police Union should take a page out of the US Military play book. 

You didn't hear our noble Military men and women complaining, threatening, and demanding more money because they might get shot defending the Country. 

You didn't hear them threatening their leaders or demanding inflated pay increases. They did the duty they signed on for, and did it well.

Yet, this local bunch at the SA Police union spent $26,000 of money they say the don't have enough of, to dirty up our mail boxes with their usual propaganda trying to force our leaders at City Hall to bow to their excessive demands.

It's all in the records for anyone who wants to be informed. They get paid more than our Military, for work not nearly as dangerous; and they don't mind making threats if they don't get their way. 

Remember when their honorable leadership sued taxpayers for having the nerve to sign a petition designed to hold them accountable by abolishing collective bargaining?

Their goal seems to be power, not safety.  They show no shame at getting a 79% increase in the Police General Fund for 1993 through 2003, while we poor working devils, got only 28% for Cost Of Living (CPI).

Hang in there Schubert, Castro, and Barrera.

If citizens could levy a tax on the Police Union over its many excesses, maybe taxpayers, too, could afford to send a fancy, expensive flyer.

Then, maybe the sordid truth would come out.

Mayor Ed Garza: The Citizens' Enemy
Let The Big Spending Begin At SA City Hall!
CA Stubbs, SAL Commentary

Just think!  Ed Garza has two more years to bollix this town up as bad as, or worse, than did Henry Cisneros. 

Garza, as did Howard Peak, takes the position that the taxpayers are too stupid to have any control over Politicians, Developers, Bankers, and Other High Rollers. 

So, both quickly began campaigns to undermine the will of the people regarding Term Limits.

Now with one of the lowest election turnouts in history, Ed thinks he has a mandate to restore the power of the TRIAD: Big Money Interests, Their Political Lackeys, and The Organized Welfare Crowd.

That being said, I think his future plans are pretty well defined in the following Chart.

The budget records of the City Mayors from 1980 up through 2003 are shocking. 

Here is the record. Look up the Budgets from 1980 to the present and this is what you will find.

      
Mayor                                % Budget Growth

             Cisneros                         180%
             Cockrell                          12%
             Wolff                                  0%
             Thornton                        16%
             Peak                                 31%
             Garza (First 2 Years)    19%

The only way citizens of this City will ever keep City Hall under control, is to collect petitions and have a City Charter Amendment to limit All Funds Budget growth to population and the consumer price index. 

If that limit had been in effect, the City would not have overcharged its citizens $7,392,180,000 from 1980 through 2003.
