Sheesh.. it’s excruciating.”

All the CA haters on FR make me laugh — you remind me of a friend’s teenager, from Ohio, who was taken to visit Las Vegas one year on a family vacation — her reaction to the amazing display of lights at night on the Strip was to yawn and announce that “It looks just like downtown Akron...”
We get it - you hate the state, hate the residents — so don’t visit!
I’m not a “Claifornia hater” - - as a matter of fact I’ve been there three times and thought it was the most beautiful place I ever saw. During a couple of Twenty-Nine Palms deployments I got to spend several weeks sleeping out in the middle of the Mojave. Under all those stars... just wow!
And up north at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport we scaled the Sierra Nevadas where we rolled out our sleeping bags near mountain creeks, woke up covered in snow in June, and I thought I died and went to heaven. Magnificent doesn’t even begin to describe that place.
No, I don’t hate California. I pity the state, and what the people there are doing to it through their collective electoral malice. I know there are a whole lot of good conservatives in California, but apparently not enough to save it. My hope is that a full-blown bankruptcy and federal takeover under Republican congressional oversight might offer a rebirth. I only wonder how many people there, with the way they vote, truly deserve a second chance.
It’s not just the atheists, welfare grandmothers, union pinky rings, abortion enthusiasts, condom-throwers, Boy Scout-hating lesbians, hand-wringing college professors, Hollywood drunks, illegal aliens, and the rest of the America-hating parasites, losers, and goofballs who comprise the Democrat party “base” who elect the likes of Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown - - they couldn’t do it alone. It’s also a whole lot of working, taxpaying Americans who should know better. It is they who are your real problem.
FRegards, and best of luck to you,
