Just envision what it would be like to have Venezuela on the West Coast in control of every major winter rail line from the Far East.

I admire your strategic thinking. /s

Thanks. I didn’t remember that. Good point. I do not agree with that at all.

Yikes, I hadn't thought of that.

Still -- if they were a foreign state, we'd have an excuse to take out Sacramento and San Fran...we could even make Sarah Palin the military governor /sarc>

Yeah, after two hundred years protected by two oceans we tend to forget what national defense was supposed to do. A not-so-subtle little reminder was called for I think.

Why not LA? It's one large target... BTW, how good is your aim? Could you take the city of Santa Cruz while you're at it?

We'd have to notify the local FReepers first, of course.

My apologies, Jim.

I suggested in this vanity that we kick California out of the Union and Carry_Okie called me on it.

Only after this did I recall that you are based in Fresno.

...could you please relocate to Phoenix first? ;-)

Cheers!

This post isn't meant to you specifically, but addresses a sentiment that I detected in your post.

...could you please relocate to Phoenix first? ;-)

The left has moved into all the prime real estate and the first thing so many conservatives do... (you know, those gun-toting former military guys) is leave. Why? is it because they called us bad names? No, it is simply because we were unwilling to do what had to be done: criminalize bad behavior and enforce it. If the SCOTUS says no, ignore them. If the media raise hell ignore them too. Let the Feds send the troops before you let them ruin your community, because they will (with glee) until they run out of your money.

[grey_whiskers]

Sorry, let me explain. I was politely asking Jim to move from Fresno into a state which enforces the borders, before we kick California out of the Union.

I'd hate to see Jim as a P.O.W. of Pelosistan. :-)

Cheers!

I like it, I like it a lot.

And Bill Kristol, give someone else with a mouth a shot at the talking head shows will ya. If the public wanted luke warm buckets of horse sweat, it would be served up at McDonalds.

Dang that's good! That, by itself, makes coming back to FR worthwhile. ;-)

Heh-—any slapdown of grinning Kristol is a winner for sure.

Mistakes will happen...
