Hi Inland Valley Democrats
It's Larry Hernandez, the Emile J'Accuse Zola of Upland.

For the last week, I have been challenging our conservative friends who read and comment on the Daily Bulletin's opinion page website to say anything at all about the Hueston Report or the Grand Jury ethics recommendation. I did it over and over again by including the challenge in about a weeks worth of comments I made on each day's usual wing-nut submission.

The Response....SILENCE.

One conservative in particular responded frequently with increasing nastiness to my topical comments and the comments of SAW and Fear Factor, two voices who happen to be center-left like me but are total strangers. And I admit that I gave as good as I got.

But this one local conservative, a Felipe (probably from Montclair) would not answer any of my questions regarding the Hueston Report. Felipe wouldn't even say if he had read it.

Instead, he got personal and finally insinuated that SAW and I were somehow involved with each other in untoward relations. That lead to my suggestion that he probably is a very unhappy person.

Which brought this response from Felipe:

I guess you haven't availed yourself of the studies showing that God-fearing conservative folk are much happier than anti-conservatives. Put down Howard Zinn's anti-American history books for a moment and broaden your horizons at townhall.com or by reading Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Larry Elder, Ann Coulter, etc.

I finally had it with his refusal to own up to our impending local conservative meltdown and let him have it before the Daily Bulletin took down the original post that includes most of this back and forth questions and evasions. It was a J'accuse moment and I loved every bit of it.

Here is my response.

Felipe:

Get your nose out of those books, get your head out of the right wing quicksand, and take a hard look around you. Look at our county and the region. Do you see lots of happy elected conservatives?

Because you obstinately refuse to answer my question about having read the Hueston Report, I am going to assume that you haven't. But I presume that you do read the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, so you have to know that Supervisors Derry, Ovitt, Mitzelfelt, Biane and former supervisor and assessor Postmus are all entangled in a web of corruption. You have to know that many of their staffers are also implicated. You have to know that Derry is accusing DA Ramos of misconduct, and that Postmus is fingering the four supervisors.

Moreover, you have to know that Rex Gutierrez is not[only]involved in the Assessor Office scandal, but is also at war with Mayor Kurth of R.C. and with at least two of his fellow city councilpersons. You have [to know] that Upland Councilperson Willis and Mayor J.P. Pomierski are feuding with the four above-mentioned supervisors about Upland staying out [of] paying a share of the $102 million Colonies settlement (soon to balloon with interest to over $200 million). And the Ontario city council is as dysfunctional as it gets.

You also must know that Rob Gutierrez, Rex's brother and city manger of Moreno Valley, is now accused of ethics violations and {is facing]charges of sexual harrassment. You must know that a drug addicted Bill Postmus gave a job to Greg Eyler at least partially for sexual favors. And you must know that Congressman David Dreier is a closet case with a long term partner he also has on his staff, a man who pulls down a six-figure annual salary and takes junkets with Dreier at every opportunity.

And Felipe, you must know that all the above mentioned are all conservatives, and also Republicans. Do any of them behave like happy persons? Would you want any one as a brother-in-law?

Get local and you'll finally get real.

The insertions in brackets [] are corrections and I don't know if every one of Ontario's city councilpersons is in fact a Republican. But I do know that the Mayor and the majority are.
