See my tag line.
I am so disillusioned with what has happened to us - in the face of our problems they elected this $*%*% again???? Beyond comprehension.
It’s like this:
I live in CA, the most socialistic and bankrupt and screwed up state in the nation. When I moved here, this was the greatest place. We had EVERYTHING. Great weather, beautiful scenery, gorgeous weather, a Republican governor, a creative, talented, energetic, entrepreneurial population, no shortage of interesting things to due and talented people and creative ideas, and yes, a pro-business environment. In point of fact, I was just a college grad student at the time, by I secured two part time jobs within one week of plane landing down to help pay my way through grad school. Those were the days! We had such a vibrant economy here, anyone who wanted to could find work and become successful.
Then, in 1992, after voting 40 years Republican (except for the 1964 landslide), the state, almost overnight, shifted SOLIDLY BLUE, voting not only for Bill Clinton that year, but Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein as well. CA has not looked bavk ever since....it just turned sold left after 1992.
Now I was always hoping and praying that the rest of the nation would not follow suit. Look at our huge mistakes, our high unemployment, our out of control unions, our massive debt, and out of control spending and state legislature, our intense anti-business climate.....no the rest of the nation seems adamantly determined to make the same mistakes as both California and Europe.
It’s not just the people of CA who have their heads imbedded up their rectums. Obama would have still won the election in both 2008 and 2012 WITHOUT CA’s electoral votes.
I have had more time to adjust than others. Buy my worst nightmares have come true. The rest of the nation is following CA’s (and Europe’s) path towards socialism and government dependence and handouts. Perhaps there are historical forces working out there that we conservatives cannot reverse. Ancient Rome made the same mistakes as the decadent republic and later the emperors made the urban masses dependent upon public largesse. Then it eventually crumbled. The human condition doesn’t change very much over the centuries.
