If it happens, which city would we most wish gone? SF, LA, Sacramento, Hollywood?

The Los Alamitos Naval Station and National Guard armories in Fullerton, Santa Ana and Tustin are in Orange County. The water plant in Brea was on the Soviet’s target list during the Cold War.

Don't send any more light in the loafers, liberal, gender confused, porn star Californians/Mexafornians here to Colorado!

We have enough trouble with the pot hazed skyline and our own version of a liberal Californian......gov Chickenchoker.

Look in the dictionary under milk toast, wimp and there you'll find a pic of our Chickenhumper gov.

Well, Californians, this is what you get when you keep electing congressman and senators who are soft on defense. Hey, have a nice day!

Why don’t those Silly Billies just declare all of California a ‘nuclear bomb free zone’? Post some signs.
