That said, Utah is beautiful and needs to be unmormonized.

I do not understand you people with the Mormon hate. I didn't understand it with Mitt Romney and I don't get it now. Mormons make great neighbors.

The blue states will never let it happen peacefully.

Their populations are easily distracted with porn and pot. The coup will be a piece of cake.

I don't get that. Libs should love CA and stay here. Why move just to recreate something like what you had? (I have the same question for illegals).

Me too! My next door neighbor is a Mexican immigrant who came here LEGALLY and is now a citizen. He's a great guy, a college-educated engineer who speaks English and married an American. He rants about the process he had to go through to get his legal citizenship and how unfair it all was. And THEN... the very first time he is allowed to VOTE in a FREE election... he votes OBAMA.

I don’t hate Mormons, I love them, that’s why I think they need Jesus.

Many of us all over United states are being controlled by the liberal minority. Some say a amendment to protect minorities mean their needs come before the majority vote. The communist knew exactly what to do by taking over education first. Getting rid of moral values, changing history and endoctrinating our children. Talk to some recent graduates and many of them have no clue what America was founded on. It is not allowed in public school.

Yesterday on the news, American citizens have to have a passport to enter the United States from Mexico or Canada. I laughed my a** off knowing full well Obama does not plan on continuing the fence to keep illegals out but now the citizens must show proof they belong in their own country.

This is a country under Obama where when you do everything right, you will pay.

I blame the likes of Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Feinstein and Boxer for California. The citizens, liberal or not will push for their agenda and our leaders should have the common sense to know where it would all turn out in the end as it has today. Instead the arrogance of power raises it's ugly head.

For me I will look to groups to change California. I will not be complacent anymore.

Our gun control is take a test, pass it and pay for a license. The system is one where it invites people to learn about guns and how to use them before purchasing. There is a 30 day waiting period. With Homeland security do not all states have some form of licensing?

C’mon to Georgia, round Columbus or Savannah way. Stay out of Atlanta and Macon.

So I'm not sure this is good or bad!

Liberals moving out of a state and going to another state is always BAD.

Liberals don't like to pay taxes any more than republicans. But, they will continue to vote for liberal leadership which favors higher taxes and big government.

I personally know a lot of liberals, some in my own family, who stated that they moved to Florida wanting to escape the high taxes in New York, yet down here in Florida they continue to vote for the democrats and for bigger government and higher taxes. Heck, my brother-in-law is the biggest hater of high taxes, but when he talks politics, he sounds downright communist. He's never voted republican. Go figure.

You are correct about the taxes. They’re higher than the property taxes on my house in the Hollywood Hills, for crap sakes. It’s always something.

I don’t get your neighbor’s thinking — or lack of — on that. But, at least he’s legal, speaks English, and is earning his own way. That’s the kind of immigrant we need.

I can usually pick them out on first sighting with a 90% accuracy.

LOL! Okay, I need to do better on my observations of libs next time so I can learn how to do that also. Then I won't have to even bother conversing with the idiots.

How about patriotic country music? Played very loudly, of course.

Rush does have some of the best bumper music. It's designed very well to get one's attention. What I would really like to do is play it loudly in the mountains. It's crawling with liberals. But, we get little radio reception up their and I don't want to pay for a stream link for the little I would use it. But, maybe someday...

Sounds like the southeast part is where we would love to be. I have to be around mountains. (No matter what the altitude — even hills are good). The flat land around Corpus Christi drove us nuts. It was probably more the heat and humidity, but just not being able to look out and see something higher than us to give the illusion or hope of coolness didn’t help! But rolling hills and scrub oak would be fine too. I’m going to try to gently encourage my husband to do some searching to see if there are any powerplant jobs in the areas.

Southeast Ok is nice and there’s some national forest down there so it’s one of the few parts of the state with extensive public land. It is hot and humid throughout the state in summer and cold and windy in winter. Spring is short but fall is long, which is nice. You also might look into Northwest Arkansas. It has a lot to offer too.

Thanks for the image. I'll send it my Grand-daughter in Southern Califronia.

She can rent a real U-Haul truck and leave CA.

Don’t blow our cover. Someone who thinks they are conservative in California would probably be a commie by our standards. They wouldn’t like us...let’s keep it that way.

Why not simply out law socialism for what it is,Theft.Any politician who tries to introduce ‘redistributive” legislation can then be arrested and impeached for attempted grand larceny,charges filed by any tax paying citizen against that socialist thief.
