Note to Californian “refugees” : When you come to a new state, PLEASE CHECK YOUR LIBERAL BS VALUES AT THE BORDER. You f**ked up one state, leave your new state alone.
Also, learn how to drive and not like some carjacker on crack.
You really need to rethink your comments. About 47% of California voters vote for decent things. In fact the vast majority of districts vote Conservative. It’s just that the elevated population centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles skew things.
If we could get about five million Conservatives to move back into California, it would be making good moves that would ripple across the nation, instead of bad.
Failing that, if the Republican Party leadership out here didn’t resemble clones of John McCain, we’d get things back on track ourselves.
Conservatives in this state get no support from the RP whatsoever.
I dare say your state would look rather grim in five to ten years, if you had the same RP leadership there, we do here.
Amen to that. People from NJ are wreck places like NC. NY’ed and Massholes wrecked NH.
Utah, NM, AZ, ID, OR, WAS and other places have been or are being wrecked by locust from CA.
I wonder in the article if “the poor” are the formerly middle class who can no long afford the state or real poor. I doubt it is real poor because the welfare has not been cut off yet.
I would love to see that on a billboard at the state border
Ha. Most of us got out because of liberal policies.
its the college students with their mush-filled skulls
who you need to worry about.
Ironically, that's how California got to be the way it is -- refugees from the East and Midwest coming in and bringing their liberal crap with them. Take it from a fifth generation native. Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer are prime examples -- it drives me nuts that the world thinks of those two bozos as Californians; they were born, raised, and educated in the east, didn't move here until they were well into adulthood, and AT THAT moved to San Francisco, the only city that Easterners have considered half-way civilized since before the Gold Rush (L.A. remains to this day much too uncouth and uncultured for their notice).
California used to be a pretty conservative, Republican state, mostly rural agricultural (it still is mostly rural agricultural, in fact). I talk to a lot of people in my work, and easily 90 percent of them moved here from some other state or country. Almost all of the vegetarians, vegans, and uber-liberal "Californians" of my personal acquaintance were not born here; of the few who were, their parents were not. Some exceptions, of course, but not many.
My mother, on the other hand, was raised by native Californians .. who were raised by native Californians ... who were raised by native Californians ... all conservative Republicans, going way way back.
The very utmost of independent-minded, risk-taking people pioneered this state and made it cool. ONLY THEN did the Liberals come in and ruin it, beginning (in my memory) in the late 60s.
Hey, remember -- Free Republic was born here. It isn't a California native for nothing, you know!
