Yes I have, well past time for me to bug out but my wife refuses to leave and I’ve got a job here so can’t really move. Wasn’t always this bad but California reached the tipping point about 20 years ago between those on the government dole and those paying the bills and it has been down hill ever since. You should learn from this and try like hell to not let it happen in your neck of the woods as the longer you can keep the welfare parasites away the longer you’ll have some freedom. Once the tipping point is reached there is no going back.
Say no more. I went to school in So. CA in the `80s and it was bad then. I was single, moved back asap to the midwest, married, got a job and have been as happy as a possum knee-deep in windfall persimmons.
Best of luck to you. I’m sorry to say that I think you all are going to need it.
I am not convinced that the tipping point has been reached for the whole country. On the issue of the Second Amendment, we are winning the culture war. I don't think the administration will be able to pass this. The Second Amendment fight shows that we can win. It will not be easy or short, but we can win. What we need to do is to keep fighting and to push more new media. The revelation for me was to understand that the major power in this country was not the government, but the media. Now that we have a small amount of media on our side, we are winning.
Remove the support of the MSM from Obama, and his chance of winning the presidency becomes zero. Consider that, and the fact that our media is growing, while the other side's media is losing market share, and you will see some hope. Unfortunately, it is going to take some time.
