[longfellow]

something had grown really dark in the Democratic Party......are we talking skin color?.......just kidding.

Nice to wake up aint it? now just remember who the NAZIS really are.

[The Californian]

Welcome to the world of rational people! We all make mistakes - It is really difficult to own up to our mistakes and make a fresh start.

I wish all the best to this person.

[TCats]

“MTBE debacle, 2nd Amendment treachery, Ebonics, Gross Polluter Tax on vehicles, Blue Angels/Military Protests during Fleet Week, etc.....We asked and were granted permission to relocate with my company.”

I lived in the Bay Area for almost 15 years and you are right. A couple of additions to your list - The Franchise Tax Board, a gang of incompetent, greedy thugs. Another is the schools, manned by, again, incompetents who amplify the damage by their brainwashing of their charges.

A naturally beautiful place to live but completely corrupt in terms of social and political morays.

[snowrip]

I'm a constitutionalist.

Meaning the constitution he believes in is taking a dump every morning.

[snowrip]

Lighten up, Francis.

Apology accepted, and welcome back to real life.

[wbill]

It is scary at first.

Yup. Liberals exist in herds. Conservatives stay conservative, regardless.

It's hard to have principles.

[wbill]

Is there a way to know if this is legit

yep, I read the entire thing waiting for the line "PSYCHE! Bite ME you stupid Republicans!"

[Landru]

"Dear friends, family, loved ones, conservatives, Republicans, libertarians, my brother in law, Sam, and my cousin Joe: I am sorry and you were right."

Somewhat pyrrhic, but I'm not one to refuse a --seemingly-- sincere apology. If in fact that' s what it it?

Be that as it may and apologies, sincere or otherwise, aside?
It's really too late, now.

Things went from bad to worse when Sarah Palin entered the scene. When Geraldine Ferraro ran for Vice President, there was no debasement of her character, no sexual threats. But with Palin, a full scale "wilding" ensued that chillingly reminded me of the random sexual attacks on women by gangs of men in New York. She was called every vile name in the book by both male and female liberals.

I'm surprised the left hasn't started burning crosses in people's yards...They "debate" with the grace of bullies and thugs - cross burning is a logical "next".

[GOPJ]

When Palin's church was torched with children inside, the press was missing in action (somehow I imagine the press would have been all over this if Obama's church were torched).

Yep - he's one of us now - his eyes have been opened.

'Robin' will now be totally and forever hated by the loving left.

Hell hath no fury like a leftist scorned.

Take two David Horowitzes and call me in the morning.
Seriously, I think this is the main reason that otherwise-intelligent people are liberals. They can’t bear to admit they’ve been wrong about everything for at least 60 years.

[Tax Government]

The most heartening idea I’ve heard lately is this: The left’s hatred is born in fear. They are afraid of us. Good.

[beachn4fun]

We are proud Americans who make the world jealous because we are truly exceptional.

Certain parts the WORLD - the liberal parts.

That's why we get so much "bashing" no matter what we do.

[LouAvul]

As a former kalifornian (the valley), I can’t imagine a Berserkely conservative as really being a conservative.

Scrappleface??

A few reasons I hate SF Bay Area:

Years ago, I went to hear David Horowitz speak at UC Berkeley. When the crowd rioted and David was spirited away by his security, I had to literally run to my vehicle to avoid a beating by the liberal crowd.

At the start of the Afghanistan campaign at a peace rally, a large ghetto-dwelling gentleman told my girlfriend-now-wife to go back to Europe, and when she said "I ain't goin' nowheres" he told her she needed to die. He also called her a blue-eyed devil. Police stood by, but did not act.

Immediatelty after 9/11 I put a small poster in my back window that portrayed Osama Bin Laden in the hairs of a scope and the text "Snipers wanted". Folks in traffic wanted to beat my @ss for that one, and they let me know.

My gay brother reports that he and his S.F. echo-chamber homo friends sincerely think that Ronald Reagan is the cause of the AIDS epidemic, because he denied AIDS funding back in the 80s.

I do truly love the land of my birth (SF Peninsula), but if the San Francisco Bay Area was targeted with a nuke and I was the only one who knew, I would merely call my grandma (in Palo Alto) to say goodbye and tell her I love her. The values of SF Bay Areans are, in many ways, a cancer upon our society, and their absence would not cause me a lot of sadness.

I thank God he made me end up in TX. I have a good job, a good house, and a wholesome, small-town-bred Texan wife who "don't want no truck with them california hippies". (Actually, referring the the peace rally, above: My wife was interviewed for the local news and I have a VHS tape of her saying "I'm sorry, but sometimes peace is NOT the answer!". That's some Texas common sense right there!

When conservatives get out of their fantasy world we might make some gains.

I saw this on Amer Thker too. Great but too little, too late.

Too little too late is absolutely correct. With illegitimate Barry - no birth certificate - & this CONgress we have passed the point of no return. You can be as vocal as in the past to change the country to sensibility but that time passed. Just a small quote from Alexander Tyler, who many know of here. ...from dependency to degeneracy to bondage.
