Apparently Orange County Republicans have resorted to marrying Latinas as their main form of Latino outreach. The latest example of this is Capistrano School Board member Ken Maddox, who now goes by Ken Lopez-Maddox.
According to an August/September 2003 survey by WEDDINGBELLS magazine (search), 94 percent of 5,000 brides polled were taking their husband’s name, either wholesale or hyphenated, and 6 percent were maintaining their maiden name. They had no research regarding men taking their wive’s names.
So Ken is treading new ground here. But the real irony is that he has a long history of immigrant bashing.
In one funny episode, two Latina activists visited Maddox to ask him about his connections to Barbara Coe and her hateful CCIR organization. Here is an excerpt from an online article explaining what happened after he denied any connection to CCIR:
“But Maddox’s claim of non-affiliation with CCIR was quickly cast into the wind when a woman known by the author of this article to be a very active member of Coe’s group in the Orange County area (especially in Anaheim), unexpectedly dropped by the Assemblyman’s office the very moment that Maddox was having a discussion with both Ce Coatl and Teresa. In fact, upon overhearing CCIR being mentioned in the conversation, this woman casually strolled into the Assemblyman’s private office, proceeded to seat herself in one of his chairs, and said, “Oh, I’m from the CCIR. Is there anything I can help you with?”. This same woman would later be seen outside of Maddox’s office standing next to — you guessed it — Barbara Coe, who, along with a tiny handful of other CCIR members, organized a counterdemonstration against those groups who peacefully assembled that afternoon to protest the legislator’s vote to repeal SB60.”
Maddox is a former cop – rather a former DARE cop. He now works for Board of Equalization member MIchelle Steel, as some kind of assistant. And he has been a political consultant.
Maddox is allied with the Talibani Republicans who control the Capo School Board. His latest action this week was to vote to reject “a proposed $372 million budget for the 2009-10 school year, a move that could put Orange Countys second-largest school district in serious financial jeopardy if trustees cant agree on a spending plan in the next eight days,” according to the O.C. Register. Nice going there Ken.
Maddox was elected to the Capo School Board last year. He has previously served in the State Assembly. He lost to John Campbell a few years ago when they fought over a State Senate seat. Campbell later ran for Congress and won.
I can’t stand Maddox in part because of his support for the Orange County PLA (project labor agreement), which banned non-union contractors from bidding on Orange County public works for several years. He is a fake conservative, IMHO. He is consistently conservative on stupid social issues but a disaster on fiscal issues. In particular, he is a pro-union hack.
And now Maddox fashions himself a Latino. Creo que no guay! I wonder if his wife knows what an immigrant basher he is? I should say his second wife. He parted ways with his first wife several years ago. Of course the divorced Maddox supported Prop. 8, banning gay marriage. Nothing says “sanctity of marriage” like good old fashioned divorce!
How sad the OC GOP is on the issue of Latino outreach. When I was their Latino outreach director I started a chapter of the RNHA (Republican National HIspanic Assembly) with the help of David Nunez, a local Latino Republican who ran for Congress. We regularly attracted as many as 100 people to our meetings! Since then, the OC GOP has become a bastion of anti-Latino haters. I finally quit the party a few years ago after being the only Latino to get elected to the OC GOP Central Committee.
The CA GOP finally found another way to reach out to Latinos as Assemblyman Juana Arambula, from Fresno, quit the Democratic Party and joined the dying Republican Party. He was tweaked over budget and water issues. He terms out in 2010. Most likely his political career is now finished.
Just let them know that the Republican Orange County Supervisor’s love the Latina’s (Mexican Latina’s) so much, that they are breaking the truth of their own Citizens for it!
Trust and Truth!
how stupid is this one . i guess its a slow day in wacko pedroza world and he needs hits on this site . so art the new DR PHIL must know that these GUYS married these wowmen just to get the latino vote haaaaa how stupid dose that sound . lets use your words art you are from the taliban group of haters who you hate if they are not mexicans . you must be the new reconquista . and since your party is the chicano party .and of course every one here that is illegal is a immigrant im sure we can expect another 30 anti republican stories before the week . my god art i am going to call the daily kos or huffington post . you fit over there really well .
truth like the word illegal that is another one he does not use .
#4,
I find it hard to imagine that Ken married an undocumented immigrant, but that would be pretty funny!
Michelle,
It is easier to comment if you put the Jack Daniels bottle down.
Art-
no low even for you. I will be taking the juice off of my favorites and no longer visit your blog….shame on you
#7,
Shame on me? Are you kidding? Maddox spends his career bashing Latinos and now that he marries one he thinks he can just add her last name to his and all is forgiven?
You will probably keep voting for this creep too…
As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.
By the way, we had over 1,400 visits to our blog today – and more than that yesterday. I think we will survive your absence.
Art,
I notice Republican Ryan Gene Williams changed his name to Ryan Trabuco. Why did he do this? Did he feel his Anglo name was holding him back politically?
Young white Republicans are a dime-a-dozen, however young Latino Republicans are quite rare. Is he taking a cue from Rosie Avila, the immigrant basher of German roots who used a Latino surname to stay in elected office for far too many years?
Sean,
Don’t forget that Jerbal was a pioneer in this movement. He married a Latina years ago and then got her a job last year as a professional hater on the Prop. 8 campaign – doing Latino outreach of course.
here we go with prop 8 in pedroza world . if your not for gay marriage your a hater . gop mom just so you know he is a hater he has at least 9 anti reps post a day .
I have attended CUSD board meetings, and Maddox (or whatever he is calling himself) is a zero. People who change their names are still stuck with what they are.
RKA,
Very true. There is not much substance to this guy. He now stands exposed!
Sorry Art, Don’t drink the Jack, though it’s ok that you do. I did see a picture of your nose, don’t drink too much of the jack because your getting a big bright red honker”)
I don’t think he is bashing legal productive immigrants like myself, just Illegal Aliens from Mexico. You got to get your legal vs illegal immigrants right Art me ole drunk!
If he married an illegal Immigrant, good at least i dont have to pay for his kids:)
Michelle,
“Good at least i dont have to pay for his kids.”
Oh yes you do. Maddox has been on the public payroll for some time. He wouldn’t know how to do an honest real job. So yes, you ARE paying for his kids!
O crap!! Maybe i can bill Mexico, since he is well known???
Nite Nite Art lol
NO JACK TONITE FOR YOU ART,REMEMBER THE HONKER:)
Michelle,
“I don’t think he is bashing legal productive immigrants like myself, just Illegal Aliens from Mexico.”
There are many illegal aliens from Mexico many times more productive than you.
As a group, studies conclude that overall, they are a economic positive to the country.
#15 Michelle Quinn
Some productive immigrant
inebriated on Tuesday night. This airhead has problems 5150. Michelle sounds like an unstable, bitter old maid with 30 cats.
Michelle, you goon –why do you generalize and assume that all Mexican immigrants are unproductive?
Did Loretta Sanchez marry a white guy in order to carry the white vote when she ran as a Repub for Anaheim city council in 1994 as “Loretta Brixey”?
GOPMom,
“I will be taking the juice off of my favorites and no longer visit your blog….shame on you”
Is that it? You don’t have a counter argument, so you just threaten/promise to leave? Don’t you think that’s pretty weak? It looks like you’re too lazy to think up some good ammo for a rebuttal.
~just saying.
And I don’t recognize your moniker. Are you a first time poster and you’re already throwing in the towel?
C’mon, you can do better than that. I can think of several different arguments against what Art is saying, and I’m not even warmed up this am 😉
Dr.Lomeli–
this Michelle Quinn was born the day you lectured that loser Michelle who claimed to be Mexican and said that Price Savors is full of crying babies and flies. Their thinking, low IQ, poor grammar, and ignorance sound like one and the same–in and of itself. At that point someone told her you don’t sound Mexican you are a hater–you may well be Irish. She (5150) took this and ran with it as she felt completely lost, exposed, and cornered- as everyone bashed her for being so ignorant-Mexican bashing fellow Mexican immigrants. She’s the tired old maid that starts every one of her comments with “Silly Art,…”– oh what a pussycat wanna be statement–that Mexican hater, smelly, low class, ignorant hag. She’s probably nasty looking, bitter–and an old maid living with 200 cats-hates herself —so therefore she continues to speak ill of Mexicans. She belongs in the trashcans she keeps rambling about locking away from a humble group who is simply recycling for dollars.
Price Savers that is—My, Michelle’s a bad influence on this blog—poor spelling is catchy…careful everyone
Poor spelling —-symbol of someone who never established lifelong reading habits. The more you read as a child, the better speller you become. Michelle is pathetic and pitiful. She is a hater.
Fiala–wake up—
Tell us —why did you marry Mexican?
Oh I know–you wanted to improve and cleanse your bloodline. Hey, only a Mexican Princess could have done that—no one else would bear such perfect genes in order to be successful in helping you. I bet you have beautiful off-springs.
P.S Would you please tell us about your participation in 1968 Prague Spring in a more detail account at some point. Thank you.
Oh Thank you Scooby
Have a good day everyone.
Whatever happened to “Loretta Brixey”?
post 20 the best one on this one yet . counters the pedroza statement .
the greta one,
It was the other way around. She went back to her family name- Sanchez, which helped her defeat Dornan.
She was defeated for Anaheim council with Brixey as her last name.
The point is that Loretta did not use her spouse’s last name for political gain as Maddox seems to be doing.
MR LOMELI . i like and listen to your post on here but i disagree with most of them . if your on this site wich you are .you see art writes the most outrages things on here . we dont know why this guy married this girl . art does of course . art writes a anti repbulican artical on here 5 times a week . but is blinded by his hate for reps . the dems do the same thing and all you hear is nothing . he is a hypocrite . he twist words around and puts them as if your not for prop 8 your a hater . if your not for illegal immigration wich he is for your a racist . myself and others on here TRY to point that out .
the greate one,
I understand your point. You, Terry and others do the same protecting and voicing your agendas.
Art Pedorza gives you the forum to do so. He is not your enemy. He is your friend in giving you guys the opportunity to debate his position.
Don’t take it as a negative use it to offer solutions and champion the foundation of the Republican ideals.
Bashing, exclussion and hate will not help. You woulod be no different than what you claim Art does.
True hate is flowing from Just in Time for crap!:)
Please stop offending us Legal Immigrants. Their is a difference between Immigrants and Illegal Alien’s.
And really cleanse your blood line, How racist of you Need to know Crap! Anyway i would say her blood line is not as pure as mine.I would bet she is a combination of Spanish invaders and Native Mexican!
I love you Mexican Elitist’s, really you think that your culture is the bee’s knee’s.
Well i would take a real good look at Mexico and ask yourself why are people flowing in to this nation, when Mexico is the third producer of oil in the USA and rich in other resources.
I think most likely it because they would rather their people leave Mexico and send money home, letting Caldron off the hook for supporting his own people!
Then their are the Amerians and Mexican American’s that figured out if you call illegals, the Underserved and vunerable they can make a nice little profit off the American Taxpayer!
And as far as me being SMELLY (really Growup) i don’t eat beans, but i bet you do:)
Cheers Big ear!
O again American’s LOCK THOSE TRASH CAN’S UP, AND IF SOMEONE CALLS YOU A HATER( ITS THE SCRIPT FOR CON MEN) JUST SAY: STICK’S AND STONE MAY BREAK MY BONE’S BUT NAME’S WILL NEVER HURT ME. WHEN I’M DEAD AND IN MY GRAVE YOU’LL SUFFER WHAT YOU CALLED ME!
HAVE A NICE DAY AMERICA AND ALL YOU HARD WORKING IMMIGRANTS:)
art lomeli said: “The point is that Loretta did not use her spouse’s last name for political gain as Maddox seems to be doing.”
Loretta ATTEMPTED to use her ex-spouse’s last name for political gain (she lost).
It is EXACTLY the same thing that Pedroza is accusing Maddox of.
Wow, Just in time for crap!
you posted so many nice things about me, i am compelled to reply! (did i spell compelled right?)
Anyway, The poor Michelle girl who was bullied into submission, would not be anything like yours truly!!
If a thousand Mexican Activist’s with big red honkers were standing around me, i would still speak the truth!! I may not be a great speller, but as far as fighting for my American right to free speech, I’m your girl.
As far as my looks, well lets just say, i don’t look like you!
ok thats it i need to feed my 201 cats. MEOW!
#32,
It is traditional for women to take their husband’s name upon marriage. That is what Loretta did.
Ken took his wife’s name, which is just weird.
Michelle,
“And really cleanse your blood line, How racist of you Need to know Crap! Anyway i would say her blood line is not as pure as mine.I would bet she is a combination of Spanish invaders and Native Mexican!”
Are you saying the Irish is a pure race? Pure in what sense? How do you know your line is purer than hers?. How ignorant can you be?
The human race is made up mixtures. The closest to isolating a gene pool is what royalty throgh history did. It was through inbreeding.
Maybe that is your problem, you say you have a pure bloodline. Inbreeding has caused your ignorance, hatred and lack of objectivity. Possibly also the other characteristics “just in time” mentioned.
“Well i would take a real good look at Mexico and ask yourself why are people flowing in to this nation, when Mexico is the third producer of oil in the USA and rich in other resources.”
They flow here because we use them as a labor force due to their work ethic.
The USA controls Mexico’s oil and exploits the resource with assistance from Mexico’s government.
The USA throgh Government subsidies exported milk,corn and avocados destroying these industries in Mexico and monopolizing the market there.
These industries then recruit Mexican labor, exploit them and let them loose in the USA when they are done with them.
Thus createing the problems that irritate your behind. Read and get informed , why do you insist in staying ignorant?
AGAIN, YOU ARE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE!!!!!!!!
“And as far as me being SMELLY (really Growup) i don’t eat beans, but i bet you do:)”
You don’t eat beans but you do eat cabbage and that is worst smelling.
Poster “just in time” made reference to his imagined opinion of you with no reference to any ethnic origin of smell.
You attached beans with ethnic emphasis to your reference of smell.
This is so indicative of you bigotry and hate of Mexicans. There is nothing wrong with admitting it.
Perhaps he is just getting a little older and he is not getting hit on as much as he used to.
Dr. should you not be working and stealing american tax dollars?
My point exactly, “Spanish Princess my butt, pure bloood line”, Just in time for Crap is a true Racist!
WRONG AGAIN about the smelly thing “cababge” yuck!
As far as hate Dr. I bet right now you hate the Irish:)
And stop blaming America for the fact that Mexico is a corrupt country that has only two classes the rich and the poor!! It is the Governments and the local officals of mexico that is corrupt!
As far as Americans hiring illegals, i am all for a quest worker program, that hinders welfare, and tax fraud and any sort of abuse by anyone.
Dr. YA OLD FART, YOUR WAY OFF YOUR ROCKER, OR ARE YOU JUST A CUNNING FOX! I KNOW YOU NEED ME TO SAY IT SO HERE IT GOES: I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE MEXICAN DOCTOR, THERE DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LOVED! EVERYONE SAY AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:) I LOVE YOU TOO JUST IN TIME FOR CRAP!
And he married her because he loved her, for the chance to get a cross the mexican boarder and not be charged with a felony or killed by drug lords!! just a wee joke.
He married her because she is cute like me!
Good for your guys may you have many lovey wee Mexamerians!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
Michelle,
Are you accusing me of doing a crime? What information do you have about me stealing tax dollars? Be careful making these types of public comments.
“And stop blaming America for the fact that Mexico is a corrupt country that has only two classes the rich and the poor!! It is the Governments and the local officals of mexico that is corrupt!”
Where have I done this?
Michelle, I love the Irish. Irish women are amongst the most beautiful. Thank you for your love.
Maybe Ken Maddox is Japanese. Japanese culture has the groom take the brides last name.
I have been looking into why would Americans/Mexican American’s be so keen to advocate for illegal Alien,s over the safty and security of their own people. I found the main factor to be money.
So Doctor you take back the fact that i am spuing hate, and i will take back that fact that you are on the take! You see spuing hate can be seen as a crime and you know fair well that i don’t hate Mexican’s!! You need to open your heart Doc to the fact that a shinny arshed white girl can give an opinion without the rants of racism or hatered.
Have respect for the opinion of other’s without making Enemies!
Have a lovely day doc and go get those tax dollar!
AHHHHHHHHHH just a wee joke
When I saw Lomeli’s post no. 18 stating that illegal immigrants are an economic plus to the country, I felt he just threw a hand grenade into a crowded room and the result would be a return to racist accusations. Sure enough. Lomeli, you sure know how to generate posts – just like Art!
He sure is a hoot!! but hay what about me ahh!
I generate the post,s too you know!
Michelle,
“have been looking into why would Americans/Mexican American’s be so keen to advocate for illegal Alien,s over the safty and security of their own people. I found the main factor to be money.”
You have done no such research Michelle, don’t con anyone.
What are your reasorces responsible for your conclussion?
It is a free country no one is placing obstacles to your bigot,irresponsible,slanderous stupid commentary.
You ignore facts and continue posting the same ignorant unsubstantuated rants against Mexicans.
Great One,
In a sense, anyone who supported Prop 8 is to some degree a “hater” by modern standards.
And the “hater term, seems to be your label. But since you prefer it, I’ll say that seperate is not equal. And denying a fundemental right to one group while allowing for another IS WRONG.
But, then again, I thought this was supposed to be about hypocrite politicians changing thier name. Any guy who takes his old lay’d name is a puss anyway.
Theres good wine down here by the way.
mr lomelli good point but i know its art site but i wished he would be a little more ballanced . he blames everthing on reps. and your a racist or hater if you dont agree with him . and this has been brought up by more people than i .
DR. RESEARCH IS SICENTIFIC. I did my homework!
prop 10 Healthy families Orange County, Coaltion of community clinic,s, Choc Hospital clinic,s,HABLA, latina Acess,Cap grant,Community Action Partners of Orange County ect… all the NON-PROFITS IN ORANGE COUNTRY AS WELL AS LOW INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPEMENT(NON-PROFIT CONTRACTOR’S AND DEVELOPERS ALL WITH ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE TO SERVE THE UNDERSERVED AND THE VUNERABLE! OR AS THE COALITION OF COMMUNTIY CLINIC PUTS IT THE UNDOCUMENTED!
If you are really interested, go look on line to
Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics, SYSTEMS OF CARE NEEDS ASSESSMENT-FEB 2002
Quess who sits on the boards of the Non-profits??
This country was built on laws and equaltiy and no group never mind foregin nationalist,s are entitled to preference!
Go beat your students into submission, it will not happen with me, even with your teenage name calling you POO HEAD!
post 45 its not my label . its art’s label if you disagree with him on this your a hater . if your not for illegal immigration your a racist .
Ken, give some to the good Dr. before he has a heart attack, really chill the pill Doc!
Michelle,
You found that these hospitals and nonprofits provide services for which they are compensated with federal,state and local tax money. How are they the bad guys? Law makers passed laws to provide the funding for their services. Why do you avoid the source of your problem and fixate blaming others except the lawmakers?
Are you saying that CHOC hospital, the OC Supervisors , Lawmakers and the rest you mention are criminals and pro- illegal immigration advocates?
Maybe they all are interested in the well being of other humans without regard to labels and hatred. Imagine that.
“Quess who sits on the boards of the Non-profits??”
I can’t guess.Tell me,who sits on the boards Michelle? Are they illegal immigrants? Monsters? Doctors? Hospital CEO’s – OMG maybe they are Democrats and some are Hispanic. It is the end of the world.
“This country was built on laws and equaltiy and no group never mind foregin nationalist,s are entitled to preference!”
For the sake of argument let us agree that these programs are set up to service the undocumented( really they serve all in need) and tax dollars pay those providing the services.
So, how are the undocumented responsible? They do not make the laws that produce federal, local or state programs that you claim service them.
Why do you fixate on bashing them? Their only source of your anger should be that they might take advantage of programs that they are not responsible for producing??????? Is that it??????
“Go beat your students into submission, it will not happen with me, even with your teenage name calling you POO HEAD!”
You started the name calling you SNOT HEAD!!! If I can’t beat you into submission at least I will give you detention, how about that?
“Ken, give some to the good Dr. before he has a heart attack, really chill the pill Doc!”
Michelle, I am enjoying a nice Merlot as I write this. No heart attack here. You do not stress me out missy. I will chill when you chill.
