I left Colorado when I graduated at Boulder in '78. Even then you could see it was turning into a mess. "Don't Californicate Colorado" was a great slogan but there was no turning back the tide. Now Colordao is full of libtards. Too bad.

Sir, I always appreciate your optimism, but even VDH, the most incorrigible optimist of the bunch, has finally come to write California’s post-mortem. What comes next is anyone’s guess, most to the realistic scenarious look pretty grim to me.

For further explanation I highly recommend “Mexifornia” by my future husband, Victor Davis Hansen.

Well, Hanson is just one man and he certainly is entitled to his opinion BUT if CA is lost then you don't really think that the rest of the country is not far behind now do you...

“What comes next is anyone’s guess, most to the realistic scenarios look pretty grim to me.”

Two things...

“Make love, not war.”

and

“If it feels good, do it.”

Well, actually I do...most of California's problems are shared by the rest of the blue states. California is only further down the road to anarchy due to the huge number of illegals currently residing here. The rest of the country is very close behind indeeed.

IMHO, our Republic is currently facing its greastest challenge since the Civil War. And the order of battle does not favor the survival of liberty, or of limited government.
