"I suspect a day of reckoning is coming and may be on us quicker than many think."
The political pendulum swings back and forth. Nothing can change this. But we can make sure that when it swings left it does so for as short as possible and not as far.
Unfortunatly its a life long battle. The test is never over. We only lose if we give up, and we will never win if we do nothing. Keep fighting. Its our character. We do not scream the elections were stolen. We do not condescend the electorate. We do not name call. Let them do that.
We start planning the next battle.
I am proud of Arnold! He took the big risk and went for it. We all knew it was a gamble. But one that had to be taken. Lets not let it scare us from taking them on again.
They're more than welcome to secede ;). It would save the rest of us who care about someone other than ourselves.
I suspect you understand a lot more than you might possibly think you do.
Early this morning when I saw the results in CA; first thing that hit me? Stem Cell Research. CA with its burgeoning liberal demographics. Going to the "doctors"; being tested. I learned a thing few years back about the great interest the CA medical community has in "race" (but not "white") research via the medical "orgs". Now, let's talk about the other industries... real estate? The last time an election cycle like this happened, RE dipped danged low in CA, early 90s. How do I know this? I'd been pondering a move out of state after seeing where CA special interests were taking the voters and the state of CA. Problem was, the dip occurred, couldn't sell our house for love or money.
So. Where are the CA Dems going to get the monies? Businesses? HA! CA Dems are going to have to "dig into" their own base for funds.
Personally, I like to think that many parts of California are not part of the normal world.
CA has become the "field research institute" for the Democratic Party.
And then I had another thought... what if the CA Dems sold a part of CA to Mexico? Before ya think I'm trying to hurt anyone's feelings.. think light first. Liberals claim to love "poor countries". But, in reality? What if they got "owned" by one. What do you think they'd think? LOL!
And as far as SF banning "military recruiters" from SF? Well, duh. lol. Let's count the "military" bases still open around SF. (The base closings was a major factor in the RE dip I referred to earlier (which is why I couldn't sell my house like lots of other CA'ers couldn't either...).
SF Dems had to ask for federal help recently with regard to their own MEDICAL MARIJUANA CLINICS! Chinese Gangs had taken these over, and the SF "fire power" couldn't (or weren't allowed to) deal with it. Lots of users of "legit" medical marijuana couldn't get their pot! (or at the prices they'd become used to.). And SF didn't learn from this, either. Oh, well.
I suspect a day of reckoning is coming and may be on us quicker than many think.
I think the anchor has been carefully crafted.
