One California for Me, Another for Thee
Townhall.com ^ | April 3, 2014 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/03/2014 12:47:02 PM PDT by Kaslin

No place on the planet is as beautiful and as naturally rich as California. And few places have become as absurd.

Currently, three California state senators are either under felony indictment or already have been convicted.

State Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) made a political career out of demanding harsher state gun-control laws. Now he is facing several felony charges for attempting to facilitate gun-running. One count alleges that Lee sought to provide banned heavy automatic weapons to Philippines-based Islamic terrorist groups.

State Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), who had succeeded one brother, Thomas, in the state Assembly and was succeeded by another brother, Charles, now faces felony charges of wire fraud, bribery, money laundering and falsification of tax returns.

State Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood), originally entered politics as a champion of social justice. Not long ago, the Democratic leaders of the California Senate in secretive fashion paid $120,000 in taxpayer funds to settle a sexual-harassment suit against Wright. But this time around, not even his fellow senators could save Wright, who was convicted earlier this year on eight felony counts of perjury and voter fraud.

Rats are the party of criminals and they more or less advertise this with their fondness of ILLEGAL aliens, wanting prisoners to vote, and their own lying, and stealing of other people’s money.

GOPe just hasn’t perfected it and probably never will.

California State Sen. Leland Yee charged with promising guns, missiles from Muslim group...

Dems don't want to own up to one of theirs running heavy arms for Muslim terror cells. Might expose how treasonous they all are.

Who needs pressure cookers when you've got shoulder fired missiles?

What happens when the (misnamed) “progressive” no longer (or ever) believes what they advocate, has no real moral “core”, and is easily seduced by power and privilege.

I perform digital data processing...I know how it works and what it looks like when it's been totally over manipulated...

They're as phony as it gets buddy...

Every state has it's good points regarding landscapes....But even with it's commies in power, in regards to beauty, varied stunning geography, deserts, mountains, the Pacific etc. California is the crown jewel of the U.S. without question.

Only a fool would dispute this...

Answer the question, lil' man. Precisely what are you trying to hide on your FR "About Page"? Evasion, which is your stock in trade, is a tool of the left.

Well, well, well Jerry Brown stater continues to evade. You're actually quite an amusing (if always predictable) poster and always bring a laugh. Maybe the lil' Californian is still seething over this Free Republic thread, Los Angeles Following in the Footsteps of Detroit , and these pictures of La-La land:

And thanks for the laughs you invariably bring. Any thread that mentions Texas in a favorable light always causes our lil' ol' dragnut2 to amusingly pop out, followed by a barrel of laughs.

So, I'll leave you with this, Mr. Jerry Brown stater, and hope it doesn't make you too awfully upset: God Blessed Texas.
