This week Brown has been using Civil War metaphors at his public events to describe the deep divisions in California, and the entire country for that matter, preaching with the passion of a born-again that the country is dangerously polarized.
On this, I completely agree with Brown.
And it hasn't peaked yet....
Where is Captain Obvious when you need him?
“The legitimacy of our very democratic institutions are in question,”
Blame Algore — it started when Gore retracted his concession.
Civil War metaphors?
CWII maybe, if things don’t turning around quickly.
What are the Vegas odds that Moonbeam goes to New Hampshire to take on Obama? He sounds like the old Jerry - running for POTUS.
2) Make a flatline subsidy for health insurance for all state employees of $400 a month. Allow employees to choose whatever plan they like.
3) Cap all retirement at $50,000 per year 2011 dollars. Cap any buyouts for retirement, etc at $12,000. Cap all payouts for unused leave or vacation at $12,000.
4) Cut vacations for all state employees to 2 weeks per year.
5) Evict the millions of illegal aliens and their anchor babies from California.
There you go, we can now have the lowest state taxes in the nation.
In 1966 Brown’s father tried to link Ronald Reagan to slavery in a campaign commercial. The logic was: Lincoln freed the slaves. Lincoln was killed by an actor. Reagan is an actor. Camera pans to the face of a little black child with tears in his eyes. This BS did not work in 1966 and it won’t work in 2011. The democrats made this bed, now they can sleep in it.
I wonder how much of a drain the freaking illegal vermin are on the kalifornistan/national budget? Get rid of them and you might free up a couple billion dollars.
He’s setting the stage for government to put it’s boot on our necks like was done to the confederates. Liberals want to tie this into a union (and the unions) vs the rest of us confrontation. He wants to shut us up for good.
More than likely his ‘fix’ is big taxes and small cuts.

The only thing between us and a full blown regime crisis is an alternative to USG.
The Constitution has been overthrown. The revolution is betrayed.
And, for the GOP and the Democrats, the attitude is, "So? There's not a damn thing you can do about it".
That is, for the present, unfortunately true. But nature abhors a vacuum.
Power is lying on the ground, waiting for someone to pick it up.
Sooner or later, someone will.
The people against the government.
Hey Jerry wanted the job (and he can’t say he didn’t know what that job was like). He got what he wanted.

Brown you started this crap with public sector unions...reap what you sowed...
>The legitimacy of our very democratic institutions are in question,” he said.
Considering that America is a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy I’d say he is finally getting a clue.
Our founders never intended for our government to be milking and bilking the taxpayers for the sole purpose of
creating an unmaintainable number of cushy government jobs.
Let’s just hope the military stays with American ideals and you pension thieves surrender to American terms rather than lose the hard way.
The nation is certainly polarized, with perhaps 15% up for grabs. The signs were first noticed on election night 2000, when the red state/blue state divide became part of political jargon.
