The Santa Ana City Council is going to be very busy at Monday’s Council meeting. They are raising fees, canceling City Commissions, spending over $1 million on another giveaway to the Bowers Museum – and they are also going to pander to the Trannies as they move to recognize the flag of a country that no longer exists. Click here to read the entire Council agenda.
There is only one flag of Vietnam:
According to the Vietnamese Embassy to the United States, “On September 2, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square among millions of people with red flags fluttering. On September 5, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh signed a Decree considering the red flag with a five-pointed golden star the National Flag. On March 2, 1946, the first National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam affirmed that the five-pointed star red flag is our National Flag.”
But don’t try to convince the Santa Ana City Council of that. You can read their resolution to recognize the flag of the failed Republic of Vietnam by clicking on the graphic below:
This resolution is nothing more than pandering to Republican Assemblyman Van Tran and his Trannies. I would expect nothing less from Council Members Vince Sarmiento and Claudia Alvarez. I am not sure why Councilman Sal Tinajero went along with this, but then he is up for reelection in two years, and there are over 2,000 Vietnamese voters on Santa Ana’s west side.
The City of Santa Ana is over $40 million in debt and our Mayor Pro Tem, Claudia Alvarez, and her Council cronies have nothing better to do than pander to the Trannies? Incredible.
My guess is that this is payback for the help Tran and the Trannies gave to Alvarez when they all voted for her Measure D, which allowed her to run for an unprecedented third term on the City Council. According to eyewitnesses, many Vietnamese voters came to the polls to vote with scraps of paper telling them to vote for Measure D – and GOP presidential candidate John McCain. The latter went on to win the GOP primary, but he lost to President Barack Obama. I am pretty sure Obama won’t be recognizing the flag of the fallen Republic of Vietnam anytime soon.
Don’t be surprised to see Alvarez and Sarmiento marching in this year’s Tet Parade, which is being run by Tran’s allies on the Westminster City Council. They were in last year’s parade too.
What an unholy alliance this is between the Republican Trannies and the supposedly Democratic Alvarez, Sarmiento and Tinajero.
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”
Bible, Hosea viii. 7.
Given the history of Little Saigon the quote above may apply to you now Art. Good luck with that.
It seems like Van Tran is taking over our Orange County and his influence growing by the minute. I don’t understand why so many local law makers(both Republican and Democrat) are following his leadership and I feel Van Tran is the greatest threat to our party line.
What makes him to be so popular?
#1,
In the words of George W. Bush, “Bring it on!”
The Trannies are not allowed to post here. Let’s see if this story forces their collective hands.
#2,
Even worse, Van Tran and his followers are known to hate Mexicans! Why the Latinos on the Santa Ana City Council would overlook that is a mystery – but then they have always cared more for power than for doing what is right!
THIS IS B.S……
#5,
Yep – Santa Ana Democrats need to come to the Council Meeting on Monday and let these sell-out Council members have it!
#4
Come on! How can we say he is a racist when Van Tran himself is immigrant? You need to come up with more solid reason to counter the Van Tran’s support base aggression. Many latino officials are lining behind with this man and we have a real fear that Van Tran might take one of our Dem. seats in next couple of years.
#7,
Tran flew to the Mexican border in 2006 with a host of his Trannies, to bash Mexicans. Have you forgotten that?
He also conspired with Jose Solorio and Miguel Pulido to shut the Viet FOB II art exhibit down recently.
Tran is also a greedy politician. He and his allies have used their political powers to enrich themselves, just like Pulido and company.
Tran is a most vile Republican. Santa Ana’s Democrats should not be allied with him.
Frankly, I’m surprised at all the prejudice attacks coming from of this blog and find it quite disheartening. If you don’t like Van Tran, that’s fine, but bashing him for simply being a Republican and a Vietnamese seems quite mean-spirited and small-minded.
#7
Stop bashing Assemblyman Jose Solorio with false accusation. He is my close friend and you need to learn how to respect good people.
Booper,
Are you kidding? I have never maligned anyone for being a Vietnamese. My problem with him is that he is a greedy Mexican basher, period.
#10,
The letter Solorio wrote to Pulido asking that the art exhibit be closed was published in a local Viet newspaper.
Solorio needs to learn to respect free speech.
#7: Being an immigrant has nothing to do with being racist or not.
This proposal is as stupid as recognizing the flags of Eastern Germany and the USSR.
While I can understand that the Vietnamese Americans don’t like the Vietnamese flag, that’s the only flag that country has at this point in time.
#12
One letter? That’s how you judge people? You must hate everyone because last time I checked, no one is perfect on this earth.
One letter and you are hurt by it. Amazing.
#13
Since when checking out the own borderline makes someone a racist?
We want to beat Van Tran with real issue in a fair fight.
#15,
One letter – and it was a doozy. Why you are attempting to cover up for Solorio, I don’t know, but believe me he is undeserving of your support.
Free speech matters – but not to Solorio and his Republican Trannie allies.
#17,
Really? How many precincts did you walk for Democrat Ken Arnold in his campaign against Van Tran this year? None? That’s what I thought.
I don’t see any problem with the wish of California’s Vietnamese-Americans to cherish Vietnamese Freedom and Heritage Flag. this has nothing to do with official Vietnamese flag or anything with American relations with Vietnam. Saying that communist flag of Vietnam must be symbol of entire Vietnamese people is the same as banning Russian national flag that replaced Soviet one in 1991. National flag is symbol of the nation throughout history while communist flag is symbol of the communist party. Not all Vietnamese are communists and therefore they do not have to kneel before communist flag that symbolizes oppression and dictatorship of one party rule.
#20,
Really? Well, what if a bunch of Mexican Americans asked the Council to honor the Mexican flag, because Mexico used to own our American southwest?
My guess is you would have a cow if that were to happen…
You’re right Art, I remember a lot of the anti immigrant crowd having a cow over a few Mexico flags at one of the first pro immigration demonstrations. It appeared that in the next demonstrations the protesters were careful not to carry anything other than American flags.
I don’t recall ever having that concern on St Patrick’s Day.
#18
If you are upset with one letter which was intended to avoid further unnecessary physical confrontation within the District limit, you are absolutely wrong!
Why is it you always love to agitate everyone surrounds you? Did you have some type of traumatic personal experiences in the past?
I am glad you are not our Dem. party member because you are evil. I highly respect Jose Solorio .
First off, this is a foolish fight to pick, Arturo. Viets are a quantum leap higher on the evolutionary scale than messicans, just ask arellano. Hewers of wood and drawers of water, consult yer scriptures.
#19
I have given Ken Arnold monetary contribution. Did you? He could have accepted wrinkled peso bills from the other side of the border.
If you have walked for him, why didn’t he win the race? Do you bring “losing karma”?
You might have walked for the Kingmaker Van Tran instead because we can’t trust you at this point.
#19
By the way I am Democrat but not a communist like you and you can keep that lovely red flag right next to your cherished green one. You are hopeless and I will make sure you won’t be able to join our party!
Who knows? Jose Solorio might run our OC Committee just to weed out people like you.
Rintrah,
I realize you are a Mexican hating Democrat. I figured that out awhile ago. But don’t try to drag Gustavo Arellano down to your level. He is no Mexican hater.
As for whether or not this fight is foolish, the fact is I have been taking it to the Trannies for some time. I am not afraid of them. I dislike all corrupt politicians, irrespective of their party or their origin.
#27,
Then why do you attack my good friend Jose Solorio?
We will make a pancake out of your mean spirited rotten brain.
You are not afraid because you can always hide under the computer screen and your reputation has been already shot to the ground?
Retract your false statement against Jose Solorio now before it’s too late.
#27,
I think you are the big Mexican hater! Why do you hate my Mexican friend Jose Solorio?
#27,
It looks like you hate anyone who holds official public trusted position regardless of their party affiliations
and you use your racial Mexican heritage as an offensive tool to mock them with undeserved fraud name calling.
I know my dear friend Jose Solorio is a honorable man with kind heart and he has given many latino youths a great challenge to accomplish their dreams through hard work. What is wrong with that?
I disagree with Republican platform due to it’s lacking of concern for the badly needed strong social service plans but you are calling a formidable Republican candidate Van Tran a Mexican hater suddenly appears to be nothing more than a plain lie. I am positive Jose Solorio and our party wants to beat Republicans at the voting booth like a real man. See our new proud President Obama, he has never lowered himself by calling names against his Republican opponent.
We will do our best to defend our ground against Assemblyman Van Tran’s political power but at the end of the day my friend Assemblyman Jose Solorio can still shake Van Tran’s hands with mutual respect and warm smile. Welcome to real politics.
OC Democrat: It is YOU who is racist.
It seems you don’t like that a country has an official flag.
And with post #26 you have lost any argument you may have had. That’s pretty much a variant of Godwin’s law (look it up if you don’t know what it means.)
Next time, use arguments. Oh I forgot, you don’t have any…
No wonder the Dems can’t win in OC, with people like you.
Art, I think I understand why the above flag is not recognized as the flag of Vietnam by the Vietnamese Americans.
It is not that these Vietnamese Americans do not know the difference, but the government under the above flag, the one with the star, has hurt these people so much in absolute terms (freedom, welfare, family, possessions, education, and so forth) that they refuse to accept it as the flag of Vietnam.
To these people, of the two Vietnamese governmental systems, the former (that one that lost) was better than the current relatively speaking.
If I can add futher, the local Vietnamese American politicans should do a better job of communicating and elaborating their constituents’ view.
Unfortunately, the Vietnamese American community is poorly represented by their own Vietnamese American hack politicans! As you already know, their performance only improves when their feet are held to the fire.
I wonder at times who oversees the Orange County Republican chapter; it looks very rock and roll to me, and it sounds like a garage band.
#32, According to my stern democratic principles we should not recognize blood stained communist flag.
Joe, we are doing just fine without “communist independents” support.
#32,
#27 is Mexican hater because he hates my Mexican friend Jose Solorio.
#32,
You can look up “Brass knuckles law”. It works well with communist independents.
OC Democrat I hope you are active with the DPOC so that when you are all alone there you can avoid thinking that its your ideas that have killed the DPOC.
While the rest of the nation is moving towards progressive ideas the DPOC is becoming a haven for those like you. Enjoy the solitude. OC’s progressives are finding other places to do their work so we don’t have to engage you and those like you.
Our OC Party is just doing fine and by the way, who is our new President? Thank you! certainly he is not a some progressive joker from communist independent party but rather he is a proud original Democrat!
#39: Our new President has no problem accepting the flag of Vietnam. According to your posts, that makes him a Communist, too…
You show again that people like you are the reason for the death of the DPOC.
My friend Democrat George Skelton has an article on how illegal California residents are draining our tax money in LA Times -California journal section.
#38, tell your progressive border fence jumpers stop stealing money from our government would ya?
#40,
Our Democrat President Obama has clearly stated that improvement on human rights condition is his top agenda when he is dealing with current communist Vietnam regime.
Last time I checked, our President is still registered Democrat
#41: Your friend is of course wrong.
As an example, he puts children born here to illegals in the same category as the illegals. How idiotic!
Did you guys ever read the US Constitution? In particular, Amendment 14???
These children are US citizens. How dare you and your clueless friend say something against American children?
You are not only racist, you are also Un-American.
43,
You go tell #1 popular LA Times writer George Skelton that he is un-amerian.
There is a strong movement today in congress to prohibit giving citizenship rights to the children of illegal immigrants .
43,
Besides children issue, you must be agreeing with George Skelton that your brothers are draining our scarce resources.
#43,
George Skelton said illegal immigrants do not contribute enough to take equal burden off from our financial hardship and their children only help drain more money from our state budget.
He could be right.
However, I do believe those innocent children of illegal residents deserve fair education opportunities and health benefits. I support productive not abusive social programs for any children.
#42: But he has no problem showing the Vietnamese Flag. You claimed that Art is a communist for having an image of the Vietnamese Flag here. So, is Obama a communist as well? If not, why not? And why would Art be, then?
You obviously painted yourself into a corner here. Too bad…
And as for #44, I indeed sent him an email.
Oh, and #46: The children, being US citizens, have the same rights as any other US citizens. Blaming the children for their parents wrongdoing is not only Un-American, but also inhumane. I have only seen racists take that position. It is absolutely wrong.
That flag is the same as a swastika to the millions who suffered in camps, died in the ocean, were
tortured and raped by pirates. Your ignorance and insensitivity is par for your course, Arturo.
#48,
Art knows OC viet community’s great animosity toward this communist flag and by still showing it with dirty smile, he has earned himself a communist party membership.
Read my post #47 for my principle on children but I am afraid more Santa Ana progressive independents are turning into a quasi communists.
Q. What should be a proper punishment for your “wrongdoing parents”?
