Hey Stanley. Sorry I’m late but I just completed a blog story on tonight’s MV city council meeting.
As its almost midnight, and I need to get my beauty rest for an early (golf) T time tomorrow, we will need to talk later.

“The ball is now in your court.”…. You missed Larry!

It went right over the fence, on the street.

Wait a minute!…. I see an idiot with the bumper sticker “you like taxes” driving over the ball and pop it.

Oh!.. it was anger driven pro HOA Republican enforcing the ball servitudes on his street!

Enjoy!

Kevin.
The good news. While you were across the street partying on city property without a permit, we had your back!
Let me also point out that the SRA paid the city for permission to be there and to stand up for people like yourself who are oblivious to our economy and the ramifications of the recession impacting every segment of our population.
We were very courteous to everyone that passed by. As stated in my report I met people who drove all the way from Fallbrook in San Diego county to express their opposition to excessive taxation.

Perhaps you forgot what the 4th of July was all about. It’s more than hot dogs and a cold one.

And while I was not there at the end, I am certain that the SRA did not interfere with your viewing of the “free” fireworks display paid for by SRA members who just happen to be Mission Viejo residents.

Adding on to the complaint of “don’t interrupt my fireworks,” don’t annoy me with Christmas carols while I’m unwrapping my packages! And SHUT UP about religion while I’m taking the day off for Easter.

This message is to Kevin, No. 24. Some people believe that July 4 is “fireworks day” because they weren’t paying attention during history class. They are free to have their picnics and be oblivious to why we’re taking the day off from work. Please excuse anyone who disturbed your family picnic and your sense of reverie while many around you are unemployed, underemployed, overtaxed and losing freedoms daily. And when your freedoms are lost and your job is downsized, feel free to complain that the rest of us didn’t work hard enough to protect you.

Stanley if we stop complaining about our concerns than those in authority will assume we are happy. The good news is that we each enjoy First Amendment rights to express ourselves even when we might disagree.
Let me know the time, date, and place and I will come to Santa Ana to listen to your stories about life in what is now called the Czech Republic.
I will agree with you that we do not live in a perfect world.
And as you reference Bushism let me point out that this Republican was not happy with some of the actions taken by president Bush 43 and have no problem stating it.
The ball is now in your court. Have a great day!

Why did you have to protest at a family event and harass people who just wanted to watch the fireworks show? I took my family down to the lake to enjoy the show and was stuck listening to some angry loud mouth yell at people, “you like taxes.” These people who you were yelling at felt intimidated by your mob tactics and just wanted to be left alone and watch the show. I saw this several times as my family sat across the street trying to enjoy a nice dinner before the show. Nearly every person sitting near us was pretty upset that they had to listen to that kind of harassment of pedestrians and motorist during their fourth of July celebration. Make your point, you don’t have to intimidate and harass people. For me what ever point you had was lost. It was just a group of angry people.

The TEA Parties not only unite concerned citizens, they are effective in getting under the skin of corrupt officials. Patriots and activists can make positive changes when they are united. They’re mobilizing, which takes more than a day or two.

Another low blow from the conservative.

So, if I show truth about your phony conservatism then I should leave… Huh?

How do you differ from the old Czechoslovakian communists who told me the same thing when I have criticized them?

So it boils down to the Bushism: “If you are not with us you are against us”… Huh?… and you are calling yourself a patriot and an American?… and are celebrating 4th of July?…. WHY?

Larry, if you can live under servitudes you can live under Obama’s bullsh*t too.

So do not complain do not explain!

Enjoy.

Stanley. I still look forward to having a cup of coffee with you before you leave this HOA nation. As you have been loud and clear about how much you detest HOA’s than can you please explain to those of us who read your remarks why you are still living here?

Anonster,
Eldery American’s are given very little in this country and have paid into the system for decades. I would rather see American elderly get free health care, than pay for Non-citizens and abled bodied losers that live off welfare programs.
I quess you Mr. Anonster have never been inside a vet hospital, if you did, you would not want the Government involved with running a pet Clinic never mind health care for humans.

If you have any friends in Europe or Canada, ask how they feel about their socialized healthcare!

Larry,
I think Americans like yourself are a dying breed, especially here in California. This Country has fallen into the hands of the corrupt Rich and paid politicans betraying their own country.
But do not worry that only a few people turned out for the tea party.
Yes alot of us our moms with kids, like myself. But i promise you that i am not sticking my head in the sand. I am doing something about the corruption especially in Orange County. It only takes a few voices to make a difference not an army.

So keep up with the tea parties and the good fight. And remember the so called Americans that belittle you are most likely the one’s betraying their country and their people for money. For their is no other logical explanation our Government whether it is in Washington or Orange County insists on betraying the Citizen’s. One rich man making another rich man richer on the taxpayers back plain and simple!

Good for you Larry and God bless America:)
