This is enough to bring a tear to the eyes of the toughest Patriotic Americans among us. And at the same time, it goes to show how we who are stuck here living in California might elect evil people into office, but as American Citizens are still alright.
Last night at a baseball game Fresno California before Clovis High played Buchanan Friday night for the Central Section softball championship, the announcer representing the section stated there wouldn’t be a national anthem prior to the game. So the crowd did what all Americans should do when faced with such an asinine conundrum, after a loud chorus of boos they rose to their feet and sang it anyway. And no one could, or would even dare to try to stop them.Breitbart News reported that as the people sang the players stopped their pregame warmups to turn around and face the American flag that waved beyond the center-field wall. When the song was over, the crowd burst into a round of applause and then the teams went on to play ball.
After the game, the event coordinator Bob Kayajanian of the Central Section “almost” apologized by making a statement that it was a mistake on his part.
“The national protocol is the first game of the session you have the national anthem,” he said. “The games after that are just played. We got caught (off-guard). Both the teams turned to face the field and they all started singing the national anthem. They started to play some music and the people took that as the national anthem and they all started singing, which I think is obviously a wonderful thing to show off their patriotism.
“We try to follow with what normally gets done. It’s all a learning experience for everyone and (going forward) we’re playing the national anthem at every game.”
How is love of country a so-called “learning experience Mr. Kayajanian?
On a side note. This makes me proud to be a lifelong Californian, and God knows I don’t have many opportunities to say that. Although our land here is without a doubt one of the most majestic and fruitful of all God’s creations our politicians here are evil, and they carry disdain for all that is good, wholesome and American. But our people are just the same as anywhere else in the nation, we have love of country, our family, and our creator. And I know in my heart that someday our elected officials will reflect what we are, Patriot Americans!
And here is more proof that California isn’t all crazy via NPR:
“At last count, nearly a dozen local governments in California have voted to oppose what is known as the state’s “sanctuary law” — Senate Bill 54 — escalating tensions over the long-divisive issue of illegal immigration in the Golden State.
The law, passed last year, aims to protect some immigrants in the country illegally by limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
California is believed to have the largest population of undocumented immigrants, and the state is on the front lines of the resistance to the Trump administration. But the recent wave of opposition to California’s opposition to the administration is turning some heads.
Much of it began in the small Orange County suburb of Los Alamitos, where the city council passed a measure last month to opt out of the “sanctuary” law.
“I don’t like the direction California is [going],” says Warren Kusumoto, mayor pro tem of the city.
Orange County Supervisors Revolt Against California’s Sanctuary Law
Kusumoto decided to draft the initiative because he said Los Alamitos is caught in the middle of a national political fight and is being asked to work under conflicting laws. The small city of 11,000 also has close economic ties to the federal government. It is home to several companies with large federal contracts as well as a U.S. military base.
But there are also bigger symbolic reasons at play. Kusumoto is frustrated more broadly with state policies on everything from taxes to immigration.
“As a state, we’ve squandered away what the Greatest Generation provided for us,” he says.
Kusumoto is a Republican and Japanese-American — in his words, a product of immigrants.
“I believe my grandparents did it the right way, they were able to immigrate, become naturalized eventually and citizens,” he says. “Why is that not the right way for anybody to come over here as immigrants?”
In some Southern California suburbs, and in many rural areas, there is mounting frustration that views like Kusumoto’s are being crowded out by liberal cities that have gone to battle with President Trump.
