Already done. Mailed my ballot Monday.

The People's Republic of Kalifornia is a nation unto itself. A break-up of the US doesn't necessarily imply a terrible war. It only requires that there be a geographical relationship to the prevailing ideologies.

Kalifornia has only a tenuous connection to the concept that the government is constrained by law. Or anything, for that matter.

Arnold is touting his alliance with Tony Blair to fight global warming. Most Kalifornians would make virtually any sacrifice to support this noble effort. Tyranny of the majority is here and it's main proponent seems to be the RINO Arnold.

Private property? Not if there is some scenic aspect to it. The "people" own the coast. The "people" own the waterways. The "people" own the forests and the deserts.

There's a collectivist mindset that pervades almost everything.

Even the vintners and dairymen are expected to embrace the collectivist notion that the law should require their participation in marketing campaigns promoting "Happy cows" and regionally identified wines.

There is no consideration given to the fact that these campaigns cannot be successful without the force of law to extract funds from unwilling participants.

Similarly, there have been cases to decide whether teachers, who might be the few conservatives in the trade, have a right to prevent union dues from being spent to support liberal policies and candidates.

A billion Chinese and a billion Indians are not going to have to become very efficient to change the economy of the US for the worse. Liberal policies make it impossible to encourage the behaviors that will assure a comfortable future for ourselves and our posterity.

The US will end, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

What If The Liberals Win In November?

What happens is that they push re-institution of the fairness doctrine to shut down the few existing conservative voices in the media. They push for control of the internet to stifle the voices of conservatives. They will push more stringent gun control to disarm the public (presumably so that we don't fight back when they come to steal the rest of our property). They will push a socialist agenda as always. They will destroy what's left of the great constitutional Republic known as the United States of America.

The question is 'what will the remaining conservatives do about it?'

[Mr. Lucky]

Isn't this something our "conservative" Republican majority should've been concerned with before now?

What If The Liberals Win In November? I would be moving to Australia.

Right. No conservative mecca, down under, mate -- where to own a gun, after all the paperwork, you can ONLY keep it under lock and key at the gun range ... Simple: When your house is broken into, just do a "time-out" sign to the friendly armed criminal, while you go down to the range and retrieve your gun, oops, they don't let you take your gun home. Oh, well, knife to a gun-fight time ...

[Jack Black]

I hear your points and they are good ones. I think implicit in the theorizing about future problems is that the wealth that holds everything together may not go on endlessly.

Things like huge deficits, balance of trade, money supply inflation and out of control spending do not seem like sustainable trend lines.

Thought exercise: imagine 1929-like economic conditions happening today. Perhaps fueled by a larger war that cuts off our energy supply. Would the country make it through? Would we have another FDR?

I don't see the reserves of religion, faith, steadfastness, and a sense of destiny to see us through another crunch like that.

California. I had to leave. The AWB was just too much for me. I moved to Oregon, then Washington state. Better, but the same forces are at work here as there. It's only a matter of time. Maybe they can boil us old frogs slow enough that it is only a wimper as freedom dies a slow death.

[MadIvan]

Every election contains its mixture of surprises and disappointments. Be calm. Panicking won't help anything anyway.

Regards, Ivan

Can only occur if signed into law by president bush - -- Can only occur if there is a constitutional amendment

Since when do liberals care about the law and constitutional amendments?

Are you married?

If not for family attachments, I would have been gone long ago. My so-called "assault weapons" have already left.

I think that the "majority" of the conservative majority is not cognizant of what's really happening around them. When the only sources of news are the alphabet networks, leftist rag newspapers, and the occasional political ad, it's hard to see what's really going on. Heck, when half the Republicans in the Senate are RINOs, it's pretty obvious that the populace isn't paying attention.

So to answer the question, yes, the "conservative" majority should have been concerned with these issues before now. But apparently, they/we are not. Elsewise, we'd have dealt with the issues that have gotten us to this point.

[techcor]

Unfortunately what will really happen is that suddenly the MSM will find "miraculously" good stories for Iraq. And amazingly they will stop asking about "economic recovery" and instead will talk about the 80 months of economic growth that the democrat can take credit for (after only being in office for a month).

Don't think it can happen? That's exactly what Bill Clinton did. After only two years in office he and the Democrats started celebrating 4 years of economic growth. Right in front of the MSM that had helped him make the election about "the economy,stupid".

You can still do some good, old frog. There IS a place for you....

[Froufrou]

So, what you're saying is, Clinton took credit for things he didn't do and denied credit when it was something naughty he did do? ;o)

[William Tell]

Wow. Those wax replicas are so life-like. If not for the forced-looking smile and the unnatural look of the eyes, Hillary's looks almost human.

What's with this woman, anyway? She so often has the expression of a game-show contestant who just won a thousand dollars.

Would you buy a set of encyclopedias or a water-softener from somebody who looked like that?

[youthgonewild]

Polygamy laws? What's this guy smoking

[SaxxonWoods]

Hi FRiends, thanks for the responses. I believe we could experience a massive depression without a civil war, and I don't see California breaking off either, for reasons too lenghty to go into here.

By the way, I expect a recession that will approach depression levels between 2010 and 2014, and part of my business is to predict such things (Doesn't mean I'm right, of course).

I think the surprise will be how we will pull together during that period, not how we will disintegrate. Have you guessed that I'm an optimist yet?

[Froufrou]

Extreme cigarettes?

Please..........


legislation cannot become law unless passed by both houses of congress and signed by the president. - just google "schoolhouse rock" and "I'm just a bill" it will explain in great detail how our system works.

As much as you and so many others would like to have a clear-cut, binary, black or white separation of good and bad as it applies to our elected officials, it just doesn't work that way.

and besides, the chances of even one of the two legislative branches changing hands this election cycle is remote at best.

So, the sky is not falling, the world is not ending, and the world will continue to spin in greased grooves no matter what happens in November.
