Happy Memorial Day


Today is a day to honor the sacrifices of those brave young men and women who have made America great. Some people simply see Memorial Day as a 3 day vacation and forget the true meaning of it. Then worse yet, there are others like the People's Republic of Irvine and the socialist NIMBYs who desecrate everything the military stands for, by getting the United States Marine Corps kicked out of El Toro.

Remember, it was chickenhawk RINO Congressman Chris Cox whose wife Rebecca Cox served on the BRAC commission that voted to close El Toro. It cost the taxpayers billions of dollars to not only re-locate the Marines to Miramar, but to also send the Navy to Lemoore. It is no wonder why Cox ran away to New York to mismanage the SEC because he knows he is such a disgrace around here. He did nothing to let the troops have access to the housing and commissary at El Toro and he knows it. All those protests outside his office by veterans must have got to him.

Chris Cox screwed our beloved Marine Corps in order to enable developers like Lennar and Irvine Company to pave everything they could around El Toro. I do favor free enterprise and most development. However, to kick out the Marines and dishonor our military is treasonous. Besides, it is only poetic justice that the housing market has collapsed and Lennar and the Irvine Co. are losing money hand over fist. They thought they got themselves a big mine of gold, when it was just a mine of fool's gold for all their efforts.

Then there is that Great Pork of Larry Agran's which ain't working out so well either. The Great Pork was counting on some overly optimistic real estate revenue projections. Instead they must rely on federal pork from other military haters like Barbara Boxer who launched her infamous political career by getting the Air Force removed from Hamilton Air Force Base located just north of commie infested Frisco.

In the meanwhile, the housing market was flooded with over development to accommodate the masses in South County who could only acquire their homes with subprime loans. Then, adding even more homes further depresses home values. Yet, this whole time, the economically illiterate NIMBYs of South County were convinced that it would be an airport would lower their home values, not foolish developers flooding the housing market. The verdict is they were all wrong.

In fact, I have seen some homes in Santa Ana Heights going for well over a million dollars while at the same time there are many homes under "jet free skies" in Lake Forest, Laguna Woods, and Irvine in the low 300s! No wonder why they hate Newport Beach so much! Even lower tier Newport Beach aka Santa Ana Heights which literally became part of Newport Beach yesterday puts to shame the majority of the South County cities. All the bitter military hating NIMBYs can post on here is long live the Duke, and we in Newport Beach can simply point to their home values and say scoreboard.

Happy Memorial Day and long live the world's greatest military. The Great Pork has failed. Therefore, we must re-open El Toro as a joint use base with the Marines to provide national defense and the airlines to provide economic stimulation. That is what will raise property values in South County. Maybe then they will finally get over their rabid jealousy of Newport Beach.
