Predictions for the Last Week of the Campaign

Predictions for the Last Week

We know from years of experience to expect nasty tricks from Guffanti and the ANTI education crowd. Whatever they do will be aided and abetted by the NCTimes on their editorial pages and in their “stories” about our district and this election.

In the past the ANTI’s have always had a “press conference” on Wednesday or Thursday before the election which the NCTimes education reporters are forced to cover. Lengthy articles will be published on Thursday, Friday, or Sunday before Tuesday’s election. In the articles will be all the ridiculous charges that the ANTI’s have fantasied about and concocted over the last two months.

If an ANTI candidate Guffanti, Anderson or Fernandez have a bird fly into one of their home windows, they will claim that “teachers are throwing birds at their windows.” If one single ANTI sign blows over in the wind, they’ll cry “teachers knocked over hundreds of our signs.” Perhaps one of their neighbor burns something with a foul smell in their fireplace and an ANTI candidates smells it, they’ll scream “the teachers are using WMD on us.” “They are terrorists!”

No matter how ridiculous and completely unfounded the charge, an NCTimes reporter will be forced to write a straight article that pretends to take the charge seriously. The article will get prominent play on the front page of the NCTimes.

There is no limit to ANTI paranoia. It is part of the strategy that our ANTI friends were taught at the training ‘to get extremists in public office.’ The training used to be at a “church” down in the south east San Diego County. I had a chance to attend the training myself, back in the summer of 1992, but did not. Too bad I would have known their strategy sooner and would have their materials to reproduce on this site. Now it does not matter. We have seen the ANTI education’s crowd election strategy seven times. It is always the same.

We are no longer surprised by their unscrupulous tactics, as at least I was, the first election or two. As a local church leader, a decades long Sunday School teacher, and a Christian Scouting director, I used to think that people who called themselves Christians had a certain set of moral and ethical standards that were inviolate. Having fought the ANTI’s who cloth themselves in the mantle of Christianity to deflect criticism and who use the trust of our fellow church members to get elected, I, now, know that some who call themselves Christian have no standards whatsoever.

We also can expect vicious “hit piece” mailers with slanderous lies about our district and our teachers to arrive in our mail boxes this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. In the past we called the NCTimes to complain about the lies and slanders in the mailers. We hoped to get an article correcting the lies before the election. We were listened to. They agreed with our complaints. They wrote an article and then published it the day after the election.

We all know that the NCTimes is in the tank for the extremist ANTI education crowd. Do not be disheartened. We have beaten the ANTI’s in every election since 1994—SEVEN IN A ROW. There is no reason to think we cannot beat them again. Personally I am hoping to totally sweep of them off our school board.
