Cue (and Screw) the Race Hustlers

Where they could last election day, voters sent a message about what they wanted to happen in their communities. Most notably, by electing Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie, the voters of Virginia and New Jersey voted to stop the ever-expanding blob of government egged on by corrupt politicians in bed with public sector unions. Less notable, but no less of a shocker was the win in Westchester County, NY by Rob Astorino over long-standing corruptocrat Andy Spano. Astorino isn't even in office yet, but he's starting out well by cleaning some house, so naturally, the forces of the left are already on his case with their catch-all smear weapon...racial diversity. Astorino's appointments aren't even completed and yet the racial hustlers are already braying. So here is what Astorino ought to say to Rev. Mulraine: "I was elected to stop the tax and spend madness that gave Westchester County the highest property taxes in the nation and a budget larger than 87 countries, so find me some people of color and/or women who can help me take a broadax to the bloated and corrupt Westchester County government and reduce its size by 25% and I'll gladly put them on my team."

I doubt Rev. Mulraine cares to genuinely seed Astorino's team with those types of minorities, and, frankly, I doubt he knows any such people. Furthermore, anyone from Mt. Vernon has a lot of bloody nerve lecturing anybody else on how to run a government. This is a sideshow, Astorino needs to stay focused and do what the voters elected him to do. If he does, much larger responsibilities await.
