Once upon a time, California Republicans would appoint great members to the Board of UC Regents, and men like Ward Connerly would fight radical leftism from there.
Not now though. Governor Schwarzeneegger is now appointing left-wing Democrats to the body, making his administration all the more indistinguishable from what Phil Angelides’s would have been.
I blame the recall, and the progressives who created it. Down with progressivism in all forms. Up with closed political primaries and caucuses. Never again must we let a man like this be our nominee.
