Bored of Stupes AND Mayor Anti-Asian? In San Francisco?At the beginning of May, there was an event that began "API Heritage Month" in San Francisco. I went to this event and watched all the old people eat all the food there. But that's a tangent to the point I'd like to bring up.
Gavin Newsom pulled a no show, his aides claiming that he was up in Sacramento, lobbying for the "stem cell facility" that the City was in competition for. A rumor goes that he was NOT up in Sacramento but simply didn't feel like going to the API Event.
Now I wouldn't hold this against him if this were the only transgression against the Asian American community. But it's one of many. Read
this from AsianWeek.
Gavin has sacked experienced Asian Americans from high level city posts with alarming regularity. These are the people who were relatively clean and not corrupt (unlike Mabel Teng or Julie Lee who had, erm, "issues"). The left-wing Bored of Stupidvisors has a rubber stamp marked "reject" for any Asian American nominee for boards and advisory commissions (unless said nominee is fucking a member of said Bored). This trend has become more the norm since Mayor Brown left.
The only time leftists pay attention to the AA community is during election time where they want: Votes AND Money. And the AA's "leaders" (who are in bed with these same leftists, cuz they wannabe dai lows) sell out their people for their own petty self interests.
The only way to change this is to: stop kowtowing to the democraps and to start playing hardball politics like the rest of the city does.
Through balkanization and bare knuckles...

Liberals want to Tax you for Living your Life!
Each year, I write out two checks (I mean my money is extorted from me) to the DMV to "register" my car and my motorbike.
Out of each check that the DMV cashes, 1/2 of the funds go to fund the DMV and the other 1/2 goes to the county that I live in.
In this case, the socialist regime called San Francisco.
The original intent of the car tax was to maintain and build new roads that the cars (and other motor vehicles) use. Simple, right? Nope. Not when there are democraps running the till. Much of the car tax money (contrary to the eco/bike-nazis' bleating) is diverted to the general fund and to whatever special interests the left-wing Bored of Stupidvisors feel need paying off. Not a lot of this money actually goes to fixing San Francisco's roads (as anyone here who drives or rides can attest). Here's a
little blurb on the car tax and a proposal to abolish it.
Naturally, since Muni is SHITE and many San Franciscians are forced to drive cars to get around, our liberal cabal in the State Assembly is proposing new taxes to "penalize" San Franciscians that simply want to live their lives not belholden to the whims and whimsy of the unions (that run Muni and the City). Click here for the
article.Leno has
legislation in the pipe that will allow local jurisdictions to vote to raise their own car taxes. Sounds reasonable, right?
Until you realize that in San Francisco, people who will support this are either: Rich leftists that can register their cars outside the county OR eco/bike nazis who want more money for their grand plan to put bike lanes everywhere without paying for it.
Problem is, if this were done fairly, this issue would be limited to people who have registered motor vehicles in San Francisco. They are the ones who will pay so they are the only ones that should be eligible to vote on this issue. But are leftist liberals interested in fairness?? Hell no! But they want to take all your money...
Now here's the icing on the cake: Leland Yee has a
pending bill in the Assembly calling for a "study" on how motor vehicles "wear down the roads" in San Francisco and is calling for new ways to tax motor vehicles further to pay for maintenence and for the "study".
Ummm, but isn't that the point of the car tax before you people spent it all on everything BUT road maintenence??
