Point two ... joining the military does not automatically make that person patriotic. Just ask Major Hassan. Ever hear of infiltrators. muslims who are not violent for the moment support those who are ... its their religion.
Point three ... yes there are a GREAT many TRUE conservatives in Calif. Many are my friends. I used to give speeches for the Contra Costa county Tea Party when I lived there some years back. As far as Gold Country ... Clampers are the gold miners from the gold rush. Sacramento was the financial capital during it (that and SF). James Marshall Sam Brannon and Sutter all lived in Sacramento. All along hiway 49 is Gold Country. From Coloma to Sonora and more is Gold country. When I came up to speak with your militia last summer members were from Sacramento to Lincoln to Ione to Coloma to Placerville. WE found them to be VERY liberal in their thinking and NOT a group we would want to be associated with. Finally, this thread was support to be satire and taken jokingly ... but a few Californians with thin skins got their panties in a twist. So ... if you don't want to be the butt of jokes change your state politics. It's not our fault that your state is a political basket case. All we can do is do our best to keep California politics out of our state. We here in Arizona get lots of flak about McLame and Flake and we deserve. But I for one don't go around whining about it.
You have absolutely zilch when it comes to the
authority to designate where others fit on the
conservative continuum. But then, if you just
happen to lean toward the KKK way of thinking
then you ain’t listening to anybody else, anyway.
Nobody worth two dead flies will follow your
lead. You just make an ass out of yourself when
you pull that stuff. If you want to do something
positive then get more AZ FReepers to donate money
to the FR cause.
We appreciate humor and satire, too. We don’t mind
that California is the butt of jokes. We hate our
state leadership too. However, when some posters cross
the line and point the finger at all of us then there
is a chance some of us will push back.
Now you state...”there are a GREAT many TRUE conservatives
in Calif”....That is true, a positive direction. Had you
added that to your earlier critique of the state’s
conservatives then perhaps we would not be where we are
currently. And, further, the criticisms you earlier
applied to those Californians who claim to be conservative
also apply to tons of Arizonans and millions of others
across the land. You think none of them voted for Trump?
