He is actually a Representative?

I was outraged, as I'm sure many were, by Pete Stark, Representative from California, and his ridiculous exchange with the Minutemen.

Congressman Stark needs to be reminded he is a public servant. He fails to understand that at several levels. Stark in that one exchange, shows his lack of understanding of many things it takes to lead, and that, even though he has been in office for over 30 years.

1. He mocks the minutemen and their attempt to protect the borders, because of the governments failure to do so.
2. He lacks a basic grasp of the border and its problems, or if he understands, he is even more dangerous because he doesn't care.
3. He lacks a basic understanding of the proper relation between elected public servant and his constituents.
4. He has a dire need for humility.

In short, he demonstrated his lack of capacity to serve.

If Stark were a lone example, it would be bad enough, however, we seem to be infested with public servants who have no clue that they are servants of any sort. Instead, there are many that are arrogant, power hungry, elitist of the worst possible sort. And often their own desires, idiosyncrasies and appetites are what drive their decisions, not the public that they serve.

IF I were a Californian, I would work with all my might to recall Stark, regardless of his party or politics. He is not fit to hold office.
