DUGAN NEWS FLASH:

Humans successfully reverse the Theory of Evolution

That is a fact according to Margaret Dugan, as stated in the debate on KAET last night. Here is her quote: " Every animal on the face of the earth can successfully teach their young what they want them to learn. The only animal that cannot do that is the human animal."

I guess that means that we have devolved back past the monkeys to . . . - What? Even the host, Ted Simons was struck dumb as the camera panned to him immediately after this remarkable statement

Is that her way of saying that we cannot do without the Dept. of Ed. bureaucracy?

Is she a closet AEA supporter?

Maybe, since she is also the only Repubican candidate to take the AEA position that we must have taxpayer supported all-day Kindergarten.

And so many thought Margaret was the supreme conservative - with NO track record to substantiate that belief.

Once again, we must be careful about supporting those who say they believe in conservative values, but have never had to back up their purported position with a track record.

Orwell was only off 25 years

Yes, it can now be substantiated that Orwell's 1984 came into fruition a quarter century late. Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated in 2009, and the world has been stood on its ear ever since. In fact, it seems that BO's 1984 mentality has infiltrated all the way down to the state, legislative and local levels of politics.

We have a proven left winger appointed to the post of interim countyattorney by a Republican dominated BOS for the purpose of protecting the unseemly and probably illegal actions of the board members - and no one exposes it.

We have one-time "conservatives" like Matt Salmon and Trent Franks endorsing big government progressives for a plethora of offices while refusing to return phone calls from those who faithfully supported them and the Constitution and Rule of Law for decades.

We have the governor crowing about a law that she did not support prior to a Rasmussen Poll showing 84% of Republican Primary voters favored it, simply to fool the public. The fact is SB1070 was written, pushed, argued and cajoled through the legislature by Russell Pearce without one sign of support from the ninth floor.

We have the Chambers of Commerce endorsing big government liberal candidates from both parties who will swear to pass legislation to enrich the filthy lucre of its members. Destroying the taxpayers in the course of their actions is of no mind to these self serving creatures.

Grass roots activists, the next 60 days will determine our fate. Senate races like Bundgaard v Bouie, Allen v Konopnicki, Klein v Braswell, Davis v Driggs, Silver v Nelson, Molina v Crandall, Smith v Byars, Griffin v Smith, Antenori v McClure.

House races where big government advocates are challenging true conservatives like Tobin/Campbell, McLain/Goodale, Burges/Harper, Seel/Fitzgerald, Smith/Sprague, Kavanagh/Ugenti, Douglas/Lesko, Weiers/Yee, Forese/Mesnard, Hendrix/Petillo.

It extends to statewide offices where Andrew Thomas and Thayer Verschoor are being challenged by certifiable left-wing big money candidates with a strong history of supporting Democrat candidates throughout their adult life. And, of course, Montgomery v Romley.

There are many other races at the federal level and legislative levels where there is a clear difference however, the races above are where the contrast is stark and very dangerous. Conservatives must not assume that they will have a strong candidate to rally around in November.

Early ballots will be sent out within the month. Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their state.

How do you identify 'CRAZY'?

It is suspected when a person has run for office for decades who never reached a 2% support level in a general electioncomplains that new recruits to his party are destroying his ability to win.

BH (we refuse to dramatically raise his name ID by printing it) has consistently blamed Matt Salmon for keeping him from being governor in 2002. Now he is shooting new Libertarian candidates because they did not contribute to his historically abysmal losses.

In addition, he accuses Tea Party activists of being thieves for "stealing" their connection to the Ron Paul legacy. BH actually believes that he owns that.

It is a short trip from lack of credibility to certifiable lunacy. Get the rubber room ready.

News Flash TO the Republic

The imminent Death of you and your industry

Rasmussen Reports that Sixty-six percent (66%) of U.S. voters describe themselves as at least somewhat angry at the media, including 33% who are Very Angry.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll finds that 31% say they are not overly angry at the media, but that includes just nine percent (9%) who say they are not at all angry.

Voters have consistently said in polls that the national media has a liberal bias and that most reporters try to help the candidates they want to be victorious. If organizations like the Republic continue to anger over two-thirds of the public, their demise will be sure and swift.

The Conservative Clarion Call

In her acceptance speech last night, South Carolina Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Nikki Haley clearly stated the problem that currently exists within the Republican Party across this nation.

"South Carolina has been 'settling'. We have been 'settling' for a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican Governor. I won't stop until we get a conservative House, a conservative Senate and a conservative Governor."

This message needs to be sent to Randy Pullen and staff on 24th Street, the Ninth Floor of the Capitol, and the Second Floors in the House and Senate on the Mall:

We cannot any longer have our "conservative" leaders support programs, set up by socialists in the form of the Gulletts, like "Twelve in '10" that supports candidates like Meyer(D), Konopnicki, Fann, Driggs, Nelson, Reeve, and Crandall against tried and true conservative candidates;

We can no longer turn a blind eye to elected "conservatives" who give power and authority to personages like Grant Woods;

We can no longer accept Party Leadership who run as conservatives then spend the next two years working with the McCain, Chamber, Brewer Troika that tries to oust our conservative Precinct Committeemen.

It is time for a leader like Nikki Haley to rise up in Arizona. The voting public is looking for true conservative leadership in Arizona.

Brewer, McCain and Woods --

Protection Plan: All Bark - No Bite!

Here we go again with Grunt Woods, former Chief of Staff to John McCain and current Campaign Chairman for Jan Brewer yapping like a crazed Chihuahua. Woods has been an embarrassment to Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike in his public pronouncements over the years. Now he has managed to top his own litany of irrational inanities.

To quote this sick and possibly deranged purveyor of socialist, open borders dogma: "I believe that the image of Arizona as intolerant will stick until we rise above it. To be an Arizonan is to be a part of Mexico." WHAT?

News flash to Grant: To be an Arizonan is to be a part of the United States of America!

Whenever you want to migrate your pompous personage to Mexico, I am sure there will be many willing hands and trailers to provide free packaging and transport!

It is time for conservatives to oppose not only Grant Woods, but those who continue to bestow positions of authority upon him. Votes against Brewer and McCain are votes against Grant Woods and what he stands for.

THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS - AND FEET

Yes, the future of the Republican Party in this state is in your hands and feet. And the time to take charge of the future is down to 45 hours.

Precinct Committeemen and State Committeemen will elect our Party Officials at the Precinct, District, County and State Levels later this year, but those eligible to participate in those organization meetings are restricted by state law to those who have submitted their paperwork to the County Recorder no later than 5pm on June 9 - this Wednesday.

True Republicans AND Republicans-In-Name-Only will decide the direction of the Party - toward Constitutional Ronald Reagan conservativism or toward the pro-amnesty, pro-death Rockefeller/McCain liberal agenda.

45 hours is a very short time, but it is enough if the priority is high enough.

Proposition 100 - -

The Saul Alinsky Connection

For those who are not aware, Saul ALinsky was a card carrying member of the Communist Party of the USA made in the mold of Karl Marx. Alinsky wrote many books on how to destroy the American system of free enterprise, capitalism and democracy including Rules for Radicals.

In fact, his goal was to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted -- a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation.

He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of the media, publicschools, unions, churches and political parties. This background on Saul Alinsky is important to every parent, taxpayer and resident of Arizona for one reason.

Why are we talking about Saul Alinsky when talking Prop 100? It is fairly simple, Prop 100 is primarily being pushed by the Arizona Education Association, an arm of the National Education Association. The National Education Association, on its website, encourages its members to buy, read, and implement the philosophy of Saul Alinsky. Click HERE to see their website strongly recommending reading the communist rants of Alinsky.

As a footnote to this article, but, in the total picture, the agenda of the Obama socialists is clearly documented by Saul Alinsky's son, L. David Alinsky, who praises Obama for “learning his lesson well” from the Communist guru. As long as the AEA and its parent organization is supporting the communist manifesto through such works, NO more dollars should be given to the districts who operate under their leadership.

This is enough reason for any American who espouses the principals on which this country was founded to support vouchers, charters, private, long distance and home educational options - any and every avenue to protect our children from the indoctrination of these zealots.

Vote NO on Prop 100. It will be wasted by the bureaucracy, and will be diverted to expanding the socialist agenda.

THE WHOPPER

AND IT IS NOT FROM BURGER KING

IT IS TIME FOR THE TEACHERS TO DISCOVER THAT THEIR PROBLEM IS NOT AT THE LEGISLATURE, BUT WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES.

IN ADDITION, THEIR UNION, THE AEA, IS COMPLICIT IN THE MISREPRESENTATIONS.

Any educational funds from this tax will go to districts ONLY.

The brochure we received from the YES people states there are 140,000 more enrolled than in 2004. THAT IS A BLATANT LIE.

The fact is that in the district system there were 887,489 TOTAL ADMs in 2004 and the current district TOTAL ADMs are 931,844. These numbers are straight from the Superintendents AnnualFinancial Report, prepared and submitted by the district business offices to Department of Ed. That is an INCREASE of only 44,345 more children, NOT 140,000 during the years the YES people chose, and that is only a 4.9% increase.

Now to look at tax load: According to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee report on Expenditures to the Districts Maintenance and Operations Budgets, in FY2004 the state General Fund appropriated $3,349,554,200 to the districts while in FY2009, the state General Fund appropriated $5,079,427,900 to the districts. That is a 51.64% increase.

Let me repeat that, because it is a startling set of figures - - the average daily membership increased by a mere 4.9% since 2004 - the time span they chose - while appropriations increased by a whopping 51.64%.

Teachers say that they have not had pay increases for seven years, or they have had pay cuts the last three years. If that is true, they need to be asking their administration where the dollars went. The funds were appropriated from the state General Fund and if they did not receive those funds there is only one stop from the legislature to them - the district offices.

There are also comments about how many teachers have lost their position. Some teachers have been let go, but lets look at why that is happening.

In 2008, the number of district pupils was 950,815, however, as stated above, the current number has decreased to 931,844 - a loss of 18,971. If you figure the average class size is 30, that is a loss of 632 classrooms and subsequently a lack of need for 632 teachers. Teacher reductions are NOT because of low appropriations, but a lack of pupils. That pupil count, by the way, is continuing to decline every month and will for the foreseeable future.

Any government agency that has a 4.9% growth in caseload and has received a 51.64% increase in funding has too much taxpayer money, not too little. These figures are readily available and published on the JLBC and ADE websites, so you can use them with comfort to inform your friends and neighbors about the real education story.

Vote NO on Prop 100!!

It is a scam, it is unnecessary, it will harm seniors on fixed incomes and it will further damage our economy by costing the Arizona job market 24,000 to 40,000 jobs.

Good for Chicago - Bad for Arizona

Talk about a double standard.

Go to this revealing story and learn how it is viewed in Obamaland.

The new face of Educators

We have a crisis around the world that has caused the deepest downturn since the 1930's. Arizona Tax receipts are DOWN more than 40%. The k-12 piece of the state tax revenue pie has grown from 43% to nearly 90% in the last decade - - - AND THEY WANT MORE.

Student SAT scores are DOWN, teacher pay UP, % of revenues to the classroom is DOWN, the number of Administrators is UP.

WHY ARE WE IN THIS SPOT? GREED, plain and simple.

Watch the video from the teachers in Chicago. At least they have honesty on their side as opposed to the junk being sold here.

We have found the enemy

and it's Barry Hess and the Hessians

We went to a Tea Party last night and were energized once again by the patriotic fervor of ten thousand patriots that was facilitated by Tom Jenney and AFP, Thayer Verschoor and Ax-the-Tax, and NO on 100. It was so hot and yet so cool to see new passionate activists that have decided to join the fight against a socialist takeover of our country and state.

It was all wonderful, that is, until we ventured into the nether world created by Barry and the Bumpkins. Never forget, this is the self-centered hippopotamus that gave us Janet Napolitano. Now this narcissistic waster of good oxygen wants to take the opportunity to give us Terry Goddard. If he truly cared about Arizona and the return to a Constitutional government, he would take a lesson from history but the only way he can get any visibility is to serve his Kool-Aid to the uninformed.

That is bad enough, but this crazy, psycho-babble spouting, cracked head has decided that the one person to be singled out for attack by his rabid band of wolves should be Russell Pearce. That's right Russell Pearce. Not Kyrsten Sinema, Not Daniel Patterson, Not Paula Aboud or even Not Rich Crandall, Russ Jones or Bill Konopnicki - but Russell Pearce. Last week, he even went out and recruited a Hessian lackey to run against Russell Pearce.

We couldn't even leave the event without enduring a loud-mouth confrontational Hessian attacking Sen. Pearce. Russell Pearce has faults like everyone else, but the objects of such personal attacks should be those who are working every day to kill our system of government. We firmly believe that Hess would have found fault with George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and he would have led a motor-mouthed attack on their lack of purity according to the Book of Barry.

Go away, Barry, and take the toadies who cannot recognize who is on our side and who is destroying America and Arizona with you. Whatever service you might have been able to provide is lost in your egomanic duplicity. Serve your Kool-Aid at Progressive, Democrat functions. If you are going to kill people, let it be the enemy.

We can only say WOW!

Governor Jan Brewer names CEO of a failed bank as the next AZ financial institutions chief

Gov. Jan Brewer yesterday named former Valley Capital Bank CEO Lauren Kingry as the next Superintendent of the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions.

Mr. Kingry was the CEO of the failed bank that went into receivership with federal officials in December. Now, he will be Arizona's next top banking regulator. How does making decisions that led to a bank failure qualify a person to be the top banking regulator?

Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to have someone with a successful track record to represent the state during these perilous times?

More Senate Shenanigans

Under the "leadership" of Bobby Burns, the House passed 'Jobs Bill' is being emasculated in the Senate.

Using static finance projections as a cover, the 'Jobs Bill' will produce no new jobs at a time when the Arizona economy desperately needs it.

The strike-everything amendment would remove a 5 percent individual income tax cut in H2250 as passed by the House.

The state equalization tax that was to be eliminated last year in the budget package that two conservative legislators sunk, will now BEGIN going away in 2014 - maybe.

A two-percentage-point cut to corporate income tax rates beginning in 2011, lowering the corporate income tax rate to 5 percent from about 7 percent by 2014. is now stretched to five years, with smaller reductions during the first two years than during the final three.

Adams needs to oppose this farce. The House actually passed a Jobs Bill, but the only thing remotely resembling a Jobs Bill in this senate mutation will be the name.

We refer you back to an excellent article in the WSJ that should be the blueprint for state lawmakers. "We almost made it that time" will be the mournful song of Arizona taxpayers for decades to come.

The Socialist Media gets the news

CBS News released polling about the health care law.

It found that 32% were for it, while 53% opposed it.

Only 27% of Independents approve of the bill;

Only 17% of Americans believe the bill will help them personally.

Majorities of Americans believe that the law will increase their premiums;

3/4 believe their health care quality will get worse or stay the same;

2/3 believe the bill will increase the budget deficit.

Gibbs can't say this a right wing conspiracy, Mr. President!

If your friends say this, you are left with no one else to blame

WHO DO YOU TRUST?

Rasmussen's “which party do you trust” polling shows pretty consistent movement toward the GOP, with the GOP opening up large leads on just about every issue. The biggest net shifts of 13% and 11% came on health care and abortion, respectively. The results from the Rasmussen poll:

Economy: 37% Dem, 49% GOP

National Security: 36% Dem, 51% GOP

Iraq: 39% Dem, 47% GOP

Health Care: 37% Dem, 53% GOP

Education: 40% Dem, 43% GOP

Immigration: 34% Dem, 47% GOP

Social Security: 36% Dem, 48% GOP

Taxes: 34% Dem, 52% GOP

Abortion: 32% Dem, 47% GOP

Rasmussen also finds that 54% of the public still favors the repeal of the health care law, while 42% oppose repeal.

The AEA does it again!

The Arizona Education Association fought against the Arizona application to the federal government for a special grant from the "Race to the Top" program. In fact, the AEA refused to sign on in support of the plan. That is not necessarily surprising, considering the continual self-centered greedy AEA position is "We know everything and everyone else is stupid."

Well, an important point is that the support of the teachers union is one of the high point-value areas in the application. So the AEA refused to participate in the application, refused to sign off on the particulars of the application, and is now making hysterical press releases about the fact that Arizona did not win a grant. They go on to blame Republicans for the fact that we did not get a grant. SOP!

BHO BS

Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.

"We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.

Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said.

He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer - more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic.

We'll bet Doris has been beaten about the head and shoulders by her co-workers and will never ask a question again.

Obama breaks the mold again!

Hard as it may seem to believe, Obama and his policies have once again defied established truths. In this month's employment picture update, the Department of Labor has a little gem underscoring his prescience.

The demographic group consisting of high school dropouts had the best job growth in America. College graduates, on the other hand, had the worst job growth in America. In fact, the high school dropouts rate of job growth was thirty-five times higher than that for college graduates.

I guess that the uneducated, ill-informed Obama voters are being rewarded for their blind (and dumb) support that carried him to the Presidency. BHO's recognition of stupidity is a first.

JD wins 1st Qtr. $$$ Race

This is hard for many people to believe - especially the McCainiacs and AZ Republic writers (oops, they're the same group) - but JD is beating John McCain in fundraising. McCain raised 2.2 million in three months while JD raised more than 1 million in about five weeks.

The surprising bottom line? Arizona individuals and other concerned American conservatives are contributing 50% more money on a daily basis to JD than all of the contributors to McCain - even when you count the banks, brokerage houses and insurance companies that benefitted from the TARP money supported by McCain.

In fact, most of McCain's money has come from fat cat executives in national corporations that are on the government dole who overwhelmingly support big government, open borders and amnesty.

If you haven't contributed to JD yet because you did not know if he was going to be viable, this should eliminate your concerns. Go to JDforSenate.com to improve the quality of our representation in the Senate.

PS: If current trends continue, JD's vote in the Senate will be the swing vote that will determine whether policy decisions will be liberal or conservative.

Newspeak continues

The headline reads,

"New Jobless Claims Fall"

The Obama 'Good News' continues for 11 paragraphs.

"Initial claims fell slightly",

"The four-week average fell",

"The economy created the most new jobs in three years",

"People claiming UI benefits dropped 4.66 million last week."

The real facts are in paragraphs 12 - 14.

Most of the jobs 'created by the economy' are federal government workers, especially temporary Census workers.

Private employers cut 23,000 jobs in March, well below forecasts of a 40,000 gain.

Millions of people are receiving extended benefits for up to 73 extra weeks, paid for by the federal government [THE TAXPAYERS], on top of the 26 customarily provided by the states.

More than 6 million people are on the extended benefit rolls.

That is about 270,000 higher than the previous week. All told, 11.4 million people are claiming unemployment benefits, the department said.

A robust economic recovery - NOT!

What do schools really need?

For most educrats, the answer is simple: money, money and more money. Over the last eight years, their demands have been met. The amount of revenue to the k-12 system has more than doubled over that span, while student population has increased at less than one-seventh that number.

What we need is professional fiscal restraint from conservative school boards. Unfortunately, there are very few conservative school boards because most conservatives do not want to run for an unpaid, local political office that provides little public recognition and many headaches. Conservatives have abandoned the schools to the liberals, who see it as a bastion for creating more liberals and running the type of government control of citizens they want. As a result, most of the volunteers in our schools that could/would run for the school boards don't have the fiscal or social responsibility to recognize the limits of government spending that must be in place for education.

We all wonder why so many different local taxes for school districts. Bonds, budget overrides, K-3 overrides, adjacent ways taxes, capital overrides, CTE taxes, career ladder taxes, desegregation taxes, and, until recently, excess utility taxes. Add on fees for band, art, music, drama, debate, science labs, and sports, plus a student activity "fee" for every kid, and before long, it is a lot of additional money out of the pockets for taxpayers beyond the State of Arizona taxes for education.

It is time to tighten our belts in education. We can no longer afford $200,000 a year for a superintendent. We cannot afford four or five associate superintendents. We certainly should not be spending an additional $20,000 a year for "supplemental" retirement for the highest paid employees in the school district (they already get funding for a liberal state retirement program). Why are we spending a $1,000 or more per month as a car allowance for selected school district employees? We would be better off just paying mileage rates for use of their cars for company business like everyone in the private sector does.

If you are thinking you may want to run for political office, consider the one office that daily directly affects more people than any other elected office - the governing board of your local school district. Get down to your local school and/or school district and get involved. Volunteer your services and prepare yourself to bring fiscal and social responsibility to our schools.

Stop the mad dash to spend more and more and create an academic atmosphere that encourages student achievement for all of our children.

For Crist's Sake

The events in Arizona this week point out the destructive and deadly results of the policies supported by Florida Governor Charlie Crist. Good Ol' Boy Charlie is a supporter of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, John McCain, and Barack Hussein Obama.

He appeared on Fox News Sunday that is hosted by Chris Wallace for the purposes of 'debating' with Marco Rubio. The 'debate' came down to Good Ol' Boy Charlie complaining that Rubio is not a conservative because of how much he pays for his haircut and them tries to prove his point by harping on some vote on some city board in another decade.

This was bad enough, but the Good Ol' Boy McObama supporter went from the ridiculous to the sublime by drawing some weird conclusion that the illegal immigrants in our country are somehow the same as his own grandparents who entered America legally through Ellis Island.

For Crist's sake, Charlie. That is somewhat akin to comparing a Circle K armed robber as being the same as the shoppers at Costco or Macy's. Your political philosophy is so far left that Johnny Mac does not have you on his list of out-of-state stars. Of course, that lack of loyalty speaks more about Johnny Mac than you. He expects loyalty from others, but gives none in return.

Charlie, more than a third of the felons in our state come from the "freedom loving undocumented workers who only came here to provide a good living for their families." HOGWASH! Law breakers continue to be law breakers and breed law breakers. Friendly, loving and patriotic citizens like Robert Krentz should be able to expect protection from this invasion.

PS: Do not expect Johnny to come to Tallahassee - for Crist's sake.
