Has the California backlash against liberal craziness finally begun?
Fox News ^ | 4/8/18 | Peggy Grande

In a state consumed by conservation and environmental issues, one highly endangered species has long gone unnoticed and unprotected – the California Conservative. Is it still possible to rescue them from the brink of extinction? Can their numbers be revived? And can they thrive here once again? While the nation continues to view California as a homogeneous voting block of individuals in lock step with an increasingly progressive liberal agenda, for Common Sense Californians up and down the left coast state, there’s a sense that a different tide is rising. The ripple began in Los Alamitos where the city council voted to opt out of California’s sanctuary law. And it was followed by Orange County who voted to join the U.S. Department of Justice in challenging the state’s sanctuary city laws. This decision was echoed by the city of Escondido and later this month San Diego County will also vote to join their ranks in this federal lawsuit. Other municipalities are lining up to consider doing the same. California has always been the tip of the spear. Often the genesis of art, influence, ideas, style and entertainment, we also take the lead in ways that are less admirable with high state tax, high gas tax, high costs of living and housing, an out of control homeless problem in our urban areas, declining test scores in schools, increasingly inaccessible and cost-prohibitive health care, and many of our major cities often appear on lists of the least-livable cities in the U.S. A supermajority of Democrats at the state level has presided over a tragic decline in virtually every statistic and has championed expensive and detrimental ideas such as the multi-state tax, a failing high speed rail project and of course the most recent sanctuary state status.

People here in SoCal seem fed up with the illegal aliens, the rampant homelessness, the out of control taxes. More and more CA cities are rusing up and defying the states “sanctuary state” policies. I think Orange, Ruverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Diego and parts of Los Angeles county are going to backlash against the Democrats.


That is, hopefully, some good news.

I just cannot imagine how good Californians....from a state so rich in natural resources and God given natural beauty....have allowed their once great state to dwindle to its current level. Very sad.

The Hollyweirdos, SanFranFreako progressives and ILLEGALS have completely desecrated CA.

Praying positive changes are coming for CA.

Isn't California handing out driver's licenses to illegals like candy to kids on Halloween? Isn't the goal of that action to help illegals vote illegally? I don't see how we can overcome that level of cheating.

“Since laRaza believes CA belongs to Mexico my inner smartass wonders if we should compromise with the reconquistadores. “

There was a famous cartoon a while ago. It showed Yassir Arafat and his Israeli counterpart, with Bill Clinton. Arafat had a sign that said “Death to all Jews”. Clinton says something to the Israeli to the effect “...maybe you can meet him halfway?”.

Same here.

California has had a "Motor Voter" law for decades. Get a license, you are registered to vote, no questions asked.

Any wonder why the state votes the way it does? And will continue to do so in spite of all the chest thumping about turning things around.

As long as illegals are allowed to continue flooding into California, there is no hope for a conservative comeback. Reagan Country is now Northern Baja.

Communists should be thrown out of helicopters. Change my mind.

But what if one were to land on a normal person? Plus, couldn't you be fined for littering?

Being a social worker in San Francisco is no excuse for being STUPID.
I worked for a school district in Southern California for 32 years.
I was one of the only two CONSERVATIVES I ever met, or worked with in that 32 years.
I have never voted for an (IDIOT) democrat since I got the franchise at 21 years old.
You can do your job and still demonstrate intelligence in the voting booth.

ACTON; DAMN.
I had a very good friend who lived in Acton in the 60’s it was a great town.
Used to hunt quail between Red Rover Mine road and Crown Valley road.
Always good hunting out there.
Please don’t tell me it went WETBACK; hope you get good CONSERVATIVES for all city offices in your election.

The Democratic Party is the new Neo Marxist party of the USA, that represents all who are not US citizens, and least of all, the workers and citizens of this country.

I do hope so! And yes I agree about Trump. I can only hope some of the coast will rise up as well. I’m in Santa Barbara which is pretty liberal. But the suburbs and out lying areas are fairly conservative. It would be great to see some of these areas begin to say NO to the insanity!!
