More than likely his ‘fix’ is big taxes and small cuts.

In the California of today it is less like the Civil War, more like the Mexican–American War of 1846 to 1848.

The only question: Which side is Governor Moonbeam on?

That’s one aspect, but the glaring factor here is the government not only enables all that but aids and abets it.

Brown is exactly correct.

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.

Hey Jerry wanted the job (and he can’t say he didn’t know what that job was like). He got what he wanted.

“Yes, just like 150 years ago, America is half slave (to socialism) and half free. And the slave half wants to run roughshod over the Constitution and the rule of law in order to further its goal of enslaving everyone.”

Take a map of the US red and blue states. Take a map of the civil war. Notice anything? Then think REAL hard about what you just wrote. Then consider the issue of State’s Rights. Just be a little curious, that’s all.

The democrats made this bed, now they can sleep in it.

For those capable of critical thought, that no longer works and hasn't for many years.

Yes. Yes, they will. An unflinching glance over the history of the last 200 years suggests that it won't bode well for any of us. The will to power - and the desire to harm others without consequence - trumps all.

>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.

Uh no he didn't.

I believe that started in the 1950s, in New York City.

Trust me - things will manifestly NOT turn around quickly. There are consequences - dreadful ones - to all that has been done in the name of ‘progressivism’.

It’s a butchers bill, payable in blood.
