Republican Leader Lynn Vakay Caught Plagiarizing
“…be sure your sin will find you out.” –Numbers 32:23
Vakay The Ultimate Ditto Head
It wasn’t but a few weeks ago Lynn Vakay, an outspoken evangelical, school teacher and Headquarters Director of Santa Clarita Republican Party, was pointing her righteous finger of judgement at the Obama White house for an address which hadn’t been given yet. She was so upset at our President for his very true statement that America is not just a Christian nation, but a nation of many religions. Say what you will about the President’s thanksgiving address, but at least it wasn’t plagiarized. Which is something that Lynn Vakay can not claim about her latest political rant entitled “We should heed Madison’s advice, not Harry Reid’s”, published in the Dec 18 issue of the Signal. She attempted to pass off an almost word for word lifted copy of Gary Wolfram’s Nov 30th editorial entitled “James Madison vs. Harry Reid” published on humanevents.com.

After spending a few hour to analyze Mrs. Vakay’s knock-off next to Gary Wolfram’s original, I figured she wrote about 4 or 5 sentences of her own drivel to make it serve her purpose. My favorite part is where she inserts an almost identical story of her Grandmother in the hospital, in place of Mr. Wolfram’s Mother-in-Law in a nursing home story. I do love her one of her only original thoughts, “How many people go to see their doctor when they really don’t need to just because their “insurance” or Medicare is paying for it? This is a huge problem.”, Hey Vakay, it is called a check up, people do it make sure they don’t get sick and die.
How many people go to see their doctor when they really don’t need to just because their “insurance” or Medicare is paying for it? This is a huge problem.

My question is how is Mrs. Vakay in a leadership position if she is unable to put together he own original thoughts? How many other opinion columns has she passed off as her own? I wonder what Mrs. Vakay would do if one of her students turned in blatantly plagiarized work? Would they get a failing grade or perhaps an A. It seems Mrs. Vakay’s character has been exposed. This reminds me of what my mother use to tell me growing up, be sure your sin will find you out.
UPDATE
It appear Mrs. Vakay is also one of the “grass roots” leader for Meg Whitman’s 2010 campaign for Governor of California. I think they should reconsider that appointment. Click Here
