I wouldn’t worry about California—it’s nothing more than Banana Republic Norte.
Considering Relocating? Think about Colorado Springs
Outside Magazine just ranking Colorado Springs as the best place to live.

Outside Magazine lists as a drawback that it might be get this TOO CONSERVATIVE for some people.
As you know, Money Magazine consistently usually ranks it number 1 as well. http://www.ownyourownmountain.com/artman/publish/Gazette_Telegraph_Article.html
I f you or a CONSERVATIVE person is considering relocating, Id invite you to tell them about this family values oasis. Id personally suggest Northern Colorado Springs as being the best and the most conservative. And just to lay my cards on the table, I am not in the Real Estate business and make nothing off anyone moving here. I just know that Soros and others have dumped millions into Colorado and have succeeding in taking over the state government for the first time in decades recently.
The Springs loses out to Denver and Boulder in the state elections but it is still close enough to make a difference.
It’s not just the GOP; it’s conservatism. Here’s how dead it is: President Obama’s approval rating is still a sky-high 65%, unchanged since last month, according to SurveyUSA. That same pollster shows him below the red line in states he carried, such as Virginia, Wisconsin, etc.
Conversely, RINO businesswomen Meg Whitman and Carly Fiona may become Governor and Junior Senator of California in 2010.
Maybe, but Obama will resurrect conservatism (and has in many ways) by demonstrating his leftist, fascist, communist, tendancies with Health Care, CO2 tax, and a general inability to turn a sour economy around with: you guessed it, higher taxes.
CA is in trouble 'cause the Dems today are nothing like past Dems. Old dems built things (highways, water systems, educational facilities, etc.) today's dems write paychecks, give handouts, tax the crap out of any productive private sector enterprise, and build lavish retirements for themselves and their union buddies.
I can't think of any major project undertaken during the reign of the metro/collectivist-dem. Hell, they can't even deliver on Homo Marriage. What a bunch of incompetent fags.
If I were queer (and I'm not, thank you) I'd be so pissed I'd vote for a conservative- that way I still couldn't get 'married', but at least I'd have a job.
Maybe this sort of defection can occur on a larger scale than we may predict, but one things for certain- the path we're on won't get us where we should be as the richest state in the Union.
In fact, the path we've been taking all these 'liberal state government' years will very soon come crashing down on a lot of people for lack of 'vision' and 'principle'. Momma said there'd be days like this.
While housing is down a bit, this would be the time.
Housing in San Diego before the crunch was one of the highest in the U.S.
condos in my neighborhood now start around $500,000 a unit to $4 million a unit.
1 mile further to $12 million a unit.
In general in SD homes $300,000 to over 25 million.
SD has the largest number of defense contractors.
They are getting huge numbers in contracts weekly.
Lot of HiTech here, Major area for BioMed and research.
Telecommunications. Largest concentration of military
in the world.
Tourism and Conventions here bring in over $12 Billion a year.
Which did jack squat as far as Mexican immigration is concerned. Mexicans were not included under the "national origins quotas." The repeal of the 1965 laws was intended to benefit southern and eastern Europeans who were severley restricted under the 1924 laws. From 1965-late 1970s, most of the newcomers were from places like Greece and Portugal. Since the late 1970s, the biggest beneficiaries have been Chinese, Korean, Indian, Filipino, and various African countries.
The illegal Mexicans and Central Americans have swarmed in here due to lack of enforcement of immigration laws on our southern border. The 1965 law is irrelevant in that case.
San Diego city AND county also voted for Obama and are full of the smuggest people outside of San Francisco.
0 and not by much.
Then again, overwhelming pop. here are from other states.
Smug, hey no problem. Though a native here, my family goes back to the 1620s in your neigborhood when it was still New Amsterdam.
Excellent Post. Very well-put.
What!? California HAS a republican party?
The yuppie/hipster transplants have taken over much of New York (especially the portions of the outer boroughs closest to Manhattan and Manhattan itself). The city has, in many ways, become more "Americanized" over the past 15 years, but still has lousy politics.
Regarding demographics, indeed that is the bulk of the problem. More confounding, is the way Baby Bush flooded California with immigrants for 8 years. I can understand Clinton building his liberal base that way, but Baby Bush sold out the future of the Republican Party to provide a short term cheap labor pool for his buddies to get rich with. Thanks, Jorge Bush!
Democrat registration stands at 43% while Republican registration is 33%.
The democrats have 30% more voters right off the top than the Republicans do. I repeat! DEMOCRATS HAVE 4 VOTERS FOR EVERY 3 REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
The fix is in. It’s over. And the children are being brainwashed in schools to embrace homosexuality, accept abortion, and save the environment at all cost. Not exactly a prescription for future Republican registration.
We California Conservatives are doomed.
OK, there is one slim chance... If the coming Depression gets bad enough, it is not impossible that the Republicans could successfully reveal how the socialist Democrats bankrupted California. Somehow, I doubt that. Not only are they pissing up a rope with a media that is an arm of the DNC, but it would take guts, resolve and daring to make the argument. Our Republican wimps are not up to the task of hitting below the belt, so they’ll roll over and play dead again.
I go back to my initial conclusion. We are so screwed.
