Is California Irredeemably Blue?
Yes, if Barbara Boxer wins in a year like this.

“Carly is not so very different from Boxer”. I don’t think Carly would make such a condescending, arrogant statement. It shows her (Boxer) true colors; red politically and yellow philosophically.
“Do me a favor,” Boxer said to Brigadier General Michael Walsh. “Could you say Senator instead of Ma’am? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it... yes, thank you.”

Along with the Soviet bear and the red star. The red star struck me as well. I didn't think of the Soviet bear... The Bear Flag was first used in 1846, the Soviet Union didn't even come around until 1917-1918. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

We should cut our losses.Might be a good time for a constitutional amendment that would specifically disallow federal bailouts of bankrupt state governments.

Yep, even shown in their flag...
It has a Soviet motif, with the bear and red star, appropriate for the commies in California.

But we wont fight them. Its not politically correct. Unlike the Greatest Generation that won WWII, our generation is a generation of zombies. The Government gives us bread and circuses to distract us. Massive debt? Tyrannical government? Destruction of American values? Eh, turn on American Idol! The 2010 elections are a turning point. If we cant rouse the majority of sleeping Americans to vote the socialists out, we are lost. Might as well give California to Mexico. The Mexicans can have the debt, too.

Haven’t we learned yet? Even a Republican from California will be a liberal RINO.
To: stephenjohnbanker
I have a cousin who left around that time (or shortly thereafter) for Colorado. With him as well, it was time to get out.

The taxes and state government regulation make it almost impossible to run a business in California.Toss in 6-7 million illegal immigrants sucking it dry. California is doomed.

California is doomed.Yep. I keep waiting to see how long it takes the entertainment industry to wise up and begin leaving. But then again, I can't say they're the most practiced hands at profitability I've encountered...
But, if they do leave, I don't want them coming to my back yard (little chance of that, though).

The entertainment industry is a trillion dollar enterprise. It is one of the only things propping up California right now, and even they are looking to leave. If and when they do, Cal is toast.

“Carly is not so very different from Boxer, so the point is hardly tested”.
You have to be kidding.........
To: stephenjohnbanker
They’ve been filming more and more in the heartland to control costs, but what will break the camel’s back is their departure from CA. May God help the region they eventually relocate to, though I might recommend Portland or Seattle...

Speak for yourself. Sure there are a lot of brain dead idiots today. Groups of people since the 1860’s have worked diligently to make our populace uneducated and easily distracted. After 100 years of the most deceptive practices conceived of by socialists, after our government being invested with their ilk, after anyone that has tried to stop them has been character assassinated, if not worse, they are still just barely able to eke a majority.
We are on the cusp of breaking their backs and we have people talking surrender? For the first time for more then 100 years their machinations behind the scenes are nakedly obvious to anyone that will look. Their “Brilliant” “Post Racial” “Chosen One” President is bleeding supports from his own parties most dedicated. The Global warming hoax has been proven to be just that. Their global warming prophet Al Gore has been demonstrated to be an unfaithful liar.
Despite all of this they still fight on, and guess what, the forces of evil will never stop. If you and I don't have the will to fight on then we shall surely lose. Your concern over American Idol and such is justified, but if you look carefully at the demographics, leftists are far more absorbed by such trivia then the rest of us.

They thought that about us at one time and the educated them. We can educate them again if need be. Our bigger concern is the socialist mindset that has allowed this problem to persist.
