I read his article, and it made me sad. I had only thought it might be as bad as he, in person, has seen.

The MSM has not talked about the mexican takeover and the degredation of counties.... I hope they begin soon.

Good article.

A laser-beam and something people need to watch.

This is why I will be leaving California this year. AND taking my 6-figure income with me (I work for a worldwide company and am a business traveler so it doesn’t matter much where I physically reside).

As more and more businesses and productive people vote with their feet, California will sink further into the morass of its own making.

Dumber than dirt.

The Left has abiding contempt for the people it supposedly cares about. Out of sight and out of mind.

Keep that in the mind the next time you hear Democrats screech about how heartless and indifferent Republicans are to the poor.

Victor Davis Hanson's Two Californias

[denydenydeny]

While waiting in line at two supermarkets, Victor Davis Hanson realized in both places that he was the only one in line who was not paying with the plastic cards issued by welfare authorities to replace the old food stamps. He noted that these people living on the taxpayers were driving late-model cars and had iPhones, BlackBerries and other parts of what he calls “the technological veneer of the middle class.”

I experience this regularly.

Other people who cannot afford to send their children to private schools can simply be called “racists” for objecting to what the indulgence of the mascots is doing to the public schools or what the violence of the mascots is doing to other children trapped in the same schools with them.

excellent point...

Thomas Sowell is walking into dangerous territory here, and I admire his courage. He describes how liberalism is authoritarian while at the same time encouraging lawlessness. Sam Francis, no less controversial, had a term for that: “anarcho-tyranny.”

Well, this is another masterpiece from Sowell.
“Mascots”... perfect.

I am from a little place called Martinez, CA and I went home about 5 years ago and said the same thing. The places we used to go to have fun was run by mexicans speaking in spanish. It was not the place I left long ago. Very sad to see what politicians have done to this great Republic all to keep their jobs. The politicians have destroyed this country and that is a fact.

Between the two great black conservative philosophizers I will take Thomas Sowell over Walt Williams every time. In fact Sowell substituted on the Limbaugh show a few times a decade ago. Not recently though

Great post. Thomas Sowell makes sober reading indeed. VDH has warned so eloquently of what was happening. Several years of columns, speeches, essays detailing the loss of American culture, mores, values, and heritage.

Someone called talk radio the other morning to say she and her husband had left California a few years ago, but that her husband happened to be there on business on one particular day: No Mexicans day, whatever they called it. No Mexican labor anywhere in the state would show up for work. Her husband had said Los Angeles had turned into Mexico until that day when lo and behold the illegals stayed home. No clunkers on the road, no sullen Hispanics of any sort lining up for welfare, food stamps, work,etc.. It was like LA of old, but only for one day, alas.

Mexifornistan is lost.

This is very true!

The majority of Mexicans are NOT assimulating. They lack our work ethic and bring their thrid world culture here. They are here for the HAND OUTS and want to drag U.S. down.
