Don't fret, the Government will bale you guys out. I mean the rest of us will.

I sincerely hope you won't, because financial disaster and dealing with the consequences (Californians dealing with it, not the rest of the nation's taxpaying citizens) is what will ultimately save this beautiful state.

When lots of businesses and April 15 taxpayers exit, stage East, from the Golden State, is when the takers will head elsewhere, as well. The mass exodus of the illegal alien and anchor baby populations, from my neck of the woods, will occur when the benefits (given by the states that can afford them) and jobs are elsewhere.

This last election just confirmed that most people in California have become too stupid to live. It's too bad the state doesn't just fall off the continent and sink into the ocean like a lot of people said was going to happen about 40 years ago. (Oh that's right, I live here too. For that matter, so do a lot of you sensible people. Forget the whole thing).

Oh you are so full of crap you might as well be a Mexican! What killed California as a right leaning state was the death of the defense industry. When those jobs left California so did the right. Stop blaming Ronald Reagan for the problems that others caused.

RIMO5 you are a valuable asset in that you experienced what many of us have not. You can remember how things were while those in my age group were experiencing a change we were not aware of.

In Palmdale California there were at least two radio hosts that lost their jobs
when the station went Spanish due to the changed demographics brought about by the illegal alien invasion. That was almost three years ago.
Today the sight of illegal alien mamas pushing a stroller down the street with three kids in tow and one or more in the womb is common.

The local hospital that delivers babies is overwhelmed as a huge number of anchor babies are delivered at taxpayers expense. The nurses working there hate it!

On the issue of Ronald Reagan I agree that his decision to grant amnesty was a huge blunder. I spoke with his son, Michael Reagan, and he told me that his dad was sorry that he had signed the amnesty bill into law. Too late, we're screwed.

Last night we stopped at an Arco to fill the tank in the general area of Palmdale and a Mexican looking man in his mid to late twenties pulled up to the pump a row away and the Spanish language music coming from his car was at a tremendous decibel level. It was thunderous. It was offensive and intrusive to people far away from someone who I assume is hiding "in the shadows" as our President would say.

I entertained the thought of going over and shutting his music off but I don't like going to jail or getting into trouble so I passed it up. Yes, he was probably a reminder of Reagan's mistake.

Yeah, Eagle1, that "hiding in the shadows" bit always gets me too. It seems like at least in this part of the country "in your face" is more like it.

"full of crap"? Wow. That's really original. No doubt an example of your culture's great tradition of thoughtful discourse and diplomacy.

The death of the defense industry killed California?

Really? And just what was California like before the defense industry came here in WW2? It was great, that's what it was like.

Do you personally remember what California was like before December 7th, 1941? I'm not so sure you do.

If I remember the books right, there was a depression with a whole lot of hungry Americans.

There is a quote by writer Stella Hughes,

Just what were "the good old days"?

The good old days were when California was recognizably American, when American flags outnumbered Mexican flags and English speakers outnumbered babbling, squalling 3d world primitives.

No, I was not born until after WW2. I don't have personal knowledge of pre-war California, but neither do I have personal knowledge of the Roman Empire, the American Revolution, or anything else in history prior to my birth. Human beings rely on the historical record rather than on personal recollections because the span of history far exceeds the life of any single person. That's what distinguishes us as humans. We invent languages, writing, books, tools, and we create an historical record. Lower animals like cattle, sheep (and apparently you) don't rely on a written historical record and their knowledge is limited to what they've personally experienced in their own short life times.

Yes, there was a depression in the 1930's. Yes people were poor. But, California had a viable economy with oil, agriculture, motion pictures, aviation (Chas. Lindburgh's airplane was built at Ryan Aviation in San Diego and Hughes Aviation was in Culver City), in 1908, the first of several huge telescopes were installed at the Palomar Observatory on Mt. Wilson and there were huge fishing fleets operating out of San Diego, San Pedro and Monterrey. California was recognizably American and not a third world sewer like it is now.

In the good old days, before the onslaught of millions of third world primitives, schools were good even if students were poor, kids weren't shot by "minority" gang bangers on their way to and from them, and the quality of life was vastly superior in so many ways, even if people were not as well off as they'd like to be. My parents and others talked about the depression and whatever problems Americans might have had, they were never forced to flee their homes by an invasion of third world scum. When Pearl Harbor was attacked and we were threatened with invasion, the American government of that time at least defended the American people unlike the government today that has abandoned them.

As bad as things were during the depression, Americans migrated to California instead of out of it during that difficult time.

What is the title of this thread? THIS IS IT. GOING TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA ASAP.

If you think millions of third world cockroaches are so wonderful, why does your website have a thread with a string of people saying Screw it...I've had enough! [?]
