“CA is a lost cause. Conservatives should move to a battleground state.”
But, but, but CA is where FR is home based! CA will come back eventually, because Marxism does not work. I just love all you “freepers” who seemingly “enjoy” trashing California. A bad day here is better than the best day in the state where you live. And besides, you are not going to defeat the Marxists by moving to a “red state,” because they are there already working to destroy your place too. It’s a good thing people like you were not around when the country was founded, because it would not exist. You really should be ashamed to spout this crap.
Here’s a question for you: Why doesn’t (Northern and Eastern) California try to secede from the South and Coast of the state like Northern Colorado is trying to do?
Tell it to the tax man. You pay dearly for it.
I grew up in CA. You’re full of crap. CA is done and the only way it will ever come back is if there is some kind of plague that kills off 70% of its leftist residents.
BTW, when I lived in CA, I considered it a good day when a member of my family was not a victim of some crime. While I lived there, I was violently assaulted by two thugs while just walking down the street minding my own business, had my watch stolen at knife point, my house was broken into 3 times, had a truck stolen, another work truck broken into and a few thousand dollars worth of tools stolen, my daughters were sexually assaulted, my mailbox vandalized, my bike stolen, my truck mangled by a hit and run driver, and I witnessed the house across the street from me get shot up by two SUV’s full of Asian gangbangers. Since I moved out of that hellhole of a police state 10 years ago, I haven’t been the victim of a single crime.
One more thing: I suggested moving to a battleground state, not a red state. Conservative votes are wasted in CA, but they can do some good elsewhere in this country.
But then I guess you never heard of picking your battles. Your position seems to be like those officers in WW1 that sent wave after wave of thousands of men into machine gun barrages.
A few things I can do in FL that I couldn’t in CA:
1. Buy the gun of my choice and walk out of the store with it that day.
2. Buy a semi-auto rifle with removable magazine.
3. Afford to live within 15 minutes of a beach.
4. Swim in the ocean for a few hours without getting hypothermia.
5. Get a concealed carry permit.
6. Drive a car without smog-Nazis requiring a $100 inspection regularly.
7. Earn an income without sending a percentage to the state (no state income tax).
8. Only pay a 6% to 7% sales tax (depending on the county).
9. Keep a loaded gun in my car.
10. Ride a motorcycle without a helmet (even though I wouldn’t do it, I am free enough to choose).
11. Live without a police helicopter hovering over the neighborhood every night.
12. Vote for a conservative candidate and have a reasonable chance that candidate will win.
13. Go hunting and not worry about stumbling into a pot grow guarded by heavily-armed gangbangers.
14. Go hunting without my neighbors thinking I’m some kind of evil heartless bastard.
Just a few off the top of my head.
