Yes, I was comparing California's abject slide into leftism, with N.Y.'s. It's better, than imagining that there's any c omparisons with Eastern European nations or the USSR. Reagan had much to do with the fall of outright Communism there. Without his apptidue, Communism would still be entrenched and the satalite nations under the thumb of " Mother Russia ". You really do need some help with historical facts.
No one, least of all I, said that the " game " is over. It never shall be.
This nation did not, NOT come anywhere near close to a bloody Civil War during the Clinton reign of terror and infamy. Neither shall we, if the worst happens and Hitlery! is someday president. That discussion has been beaten to death, for years, newbie, here, and believe me, it shall NOT come to pass.
Democrats sometimes hang themselves, but haven't yet done so in California. It'll take far longer, for them to do so, than '06 !
Much of Reagan's victory has been squandered, deliberately, by the Democratic Left. Communism is still slaughtering millions around the globe, still entrenched 90 miles from Key West, still actively subverting our government and judicial system, still thriving in our universities, public schools, unions and media. It is the political embodiment of evil, and will exist for as long as men with fatal flaws come into positions of power. The fight is ongoing. It didn't end with President Reagan.
I'm not sure why you take such exception to the comparison of California to the Soviet Union. When the conditions in California begin to resemble that of a third-world country -- as the Soviet Union did -- the people of California will have the option to stand up and change it. That's where the comparison ends, obviously. The Russians didn't have that option. Ronald Wilson Reagan gave it to them, bless his soul.
My point is that it's going to take an unmitigated disaster to open the majority of Californians' eyes. I believe that. You don't. Big deal, grown ups disagree all the time. This nation did not, NOT come anywhere near close to a bloody Civil War during the Clinton reign of terror and infamy.
I was referring to the 2000 election. It was often referred to a "political civil war". See what happens the next time the Democrats pull the same stunt (and they will. They most definitely will).
That discussion has been beaten to death, for years, newbie...
I'm not as new as you might think, but if you believe saying it gives you the upper hand, go for it.
