   This is the speech of a lazy Mexican Democrat being ushered into   
   politics by the racist liberal media.   
      
   Kevin de Leon is a Democrat State Senator from Los Angeles.  He   
   also is the newly inaugurated leader for California Democrats   
   and was just sworn in as the 47th President pro Tempore of the   
   California State Senate.   
      
   The Los Angeles Times called his inauguration “an extravagant   
   bash.” It was held at the Disney Concert Hall where “corporate   
   interests — oil, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and others   
   who lobby Sacramento — paid for the $50,000 bash through the   
   Latino Legislative Caucus Foundation.   
      
   Sadly, his speech accepting his new responsibilities is getting   
   little attention from the California media.  Maybe that’s   
   because reporters in the Golden State are used to hearing a   
   growing chorus of Democrats embrace the welfare state and   
   dismiss hard work.  De Leon made his political and legislative   
   intentions very clear as 2,000 supporters watched his ascension   
   at the concert hall.   
      
   “Isn’t it time we shatter the great American myth about pulling   
   oneself up by the bootstraps?” De Leon asked the crowd.   
      
   The audience broke into rousing applause.  De Leon continued,   
   “It’s a fantasy.  It’s simply not true.”   
      
   Really? The American “myth”?   
      
   But de Leon didn’t stop there. “Every single one of us, whether   
   rich or poor, is relying on someone else for our own success,”   
   he said. De Leon proudly says, “And reliance, reliance is   
   nothing of shame -- it is the American way.”   
      
   Ladies and Gentlemen, if you ever thought that the American   
   dream was under assault, that Democrats are out to encourage   
   Americans to learn to love a handout instead of hard work,   
   here's proof.  It’s no wonder businesses are leaving California   
   every day.  California Democrats are out to kill the American   
   dream by ridiculing the commitment to hard work.
