why is it that FReepers who trash other states, never fly their own flag?

[hedgetrimmer]

Ag is being systematically shut down. Many farmers in the Central Valley are going fallow because they've sold their water rights to the big cities. Also farmers in Half Moon Bay are being put out of business by unelected regional councils who STEAL THEIR WATER. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE STATE. California will soon have a lot of FALLOW FARMS and NO significant agriculture if nothing is done to prevent it.

Here in the very conservative part of California that I live in, we HATE San Francisco and Los Angeles liberals, the hot-beds of all nutty-liberal thought in the state

Same here in Lodi.

A group of residents of Marathon, Texas, watch as an anti-war sign, reading: 'war is the failure of humanity,' is erected at the entrance to the west Texas town, March 16, 2003. More than 20 people of the town's population of 535 pooled their money to rent the billboard and designed the sign, which was erected shortly after the Azores summit. Thousands of Americans in other cities participated in anti-war marches, coinciding with similar demonstrations throughout Europe, Asia, South America and Australia, as U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) and his staunchest allies convened the emergency summit that could start the final countdown to war. REUTERS/Luc Novovitch

I used to love going out in the high desert between Victorville and Barstow and plink for hours on end - noone within ear shot.

Me too! Come up and join me sometime in the really-high desert for a great afternoon of plinking, my favorite sport.

you should take that Reagan quote off your info page if you're going to trash Cali

[geege]

Well I love California wine but lately I've been tasting the grapes of Spain.....I can live with that:0)

[Inyo-Mono]

Thanks. You know how it is here in the hinterlands of Calif.

[Torie]

My brother lives in Rovana. That comes as close to your moniker as I think is possible. Cheers.

Guess you won't be posting on Free Republic anymore, since it is located in California. So long!!

[geege]

Guess everybody else on this thread won't be posting anymore either......cio

Leave Mexico Norte alone, gringo pendejo.

"you should take that Reagan quote off your info page if you're going to trash Cali"

I love Ronald Reagan and I love the "old" California - the one Ronald Reagan helped to build.

The geographical area south of Sacramento has now become a third world nation - it is no longer California.

Rather than boycotting California, why don't we rally
together and make a plan how to take it back? We are
even stronger then the communistic protesters - we have
the good Lord on our side!

Rather than boycotting California, why don't we rally together and make a plan how to take it back?

This is perhaps the best, most meaningful solution to the problem of the People's Republik of Kalifornia. As a resident of the Los Angeles area, I would love nothing more than to have this state liberated by pro-freedom forces.

Contrary to popular opinion, not all Californians are tofu-sucking, granola-munching, Birkenstock Liberals. Many of us are staunch conservatives who remain in this state because of our work in the military and high-tech fields.

All told, if there must be a boycott, I would recommend a higher granularity of boycott so that it will affect only those cities that have consistently supported rabid anti-American policies.

Berkeley comes immediately to mind.

Typical Californication snobbery. I would rather be governed by a redneck good-ol' boy than Pete "Country Club" Wilson or George "King RINO" Pataki (MY sorry excuse for a Republican Governor). I'm sick of these effete, limp-wristed know-it-alls bragging about how great Californication's economy is and how superior its inhabitants are. You're almost as bad as the average New Yorker (although the average New York State inhabitant IS a yokel who lives for the Sports Page).

If you Californicators ever elect another Republican Governor, it will be Riordan. --- Clemenza in the SHEEPLE's Republic of New York

Agriculture, areospace, and tech are still bigger than Hollywood.

[Panndorah]

Ahhh, yes...I hate Hollywood as well. But I am a born and raised SoCal gal, and there are more conservatives out here than you might realize...we simply do not have the network power to nationalize it. We may be quiet, but we are becoming a powerful tide. Hmmm if we could only rid ourselves of SanFran and LA, the state would be ours....

Have been thinking along the same lines; wondering why we are worried about French wine and not Sonoma Valley et al.

More angry at our 'homeland' citizens than the French right now. . .

Wish we could just move the Libs out of our face entirely. . .

. . .oh that we could just 'give' them California. . .Montana; Vermont. . .perhaps one more state; and just let them create their totalitarian hell on earth aka. . .socialist paradise;

. . .and leave the rest of our Country to abide and live and prosper by the recognition of our inalienable rights protected by our Constitution.
