"Despite more advanced technology we are heading for the dark ages."

Yup...you said it.

This is the city where the city council insisted that the schools teach the children EBONICS.

The first speeding ticket I ever got was on the Oakland Bay Bridge.

Well disregard what the liberals think or in other words, ignore them. It works.

It will set the stage for a second American civil war in which the liberal lift WILL LOSE. As proof, gun sales are going through the roof.

So much for The Great Society...

Actually, when the criminal element in a society is offing themselves, the part of society left behind has to be better off. It's simple math: addition by subtraction. ;)

A very simple solution to a very complex problem: Raise taxes, raise them again, and deny all law abiding citizens their only form if immediate protection.’

And raise taxes again.

Give them all $50,000 for raising non-existent pigs on non-existent pig farms.

A woman walking her dog at 3 p.m. Friday stumbled upon Larry Lovette lying on the sidewalk near Dimond Park.

Blind, or just clumsy? Distracted walking? When she stumbled, did she injure herself?

I'm not so sure we will see a Civil War but I lived through Watts and was at ground zero during the Rodney King party so I don't doubt things could get interesting from time to time.

I'm also not so sure which side would win in the case of civil war, because I have a pretty good idea who our leadership would incite.

One thing I do know is that I don't want to be within 50 miles of LA, Oakland, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cinci the day the EBT cards don't reload.

The really sad thing is the Americans used to be Americans first and foremost and at least profess to care about their fellow Americas.

Our cultural elites and Left wing education system has worked over 2 generations to systematically destroy that all the traditional American values and mores so we no longer seem to have the civic bond and appreciation of what it means to be American that we used to have. Now, we seem have polarized into two totally different and irreconcilable world views and people are arming and the attitude among more than a few on all sides of the spectrum is ,”bring it on, lets get the party started.”.

The amount of hate from the Left is especially scary and a quick scan of DU or Kos gives the impression there would be no lack of eager volunteers for home grown versions of SA and Stasi along with guards re educators for Re Education Camps, Gulags and ultimately even worse.

We no longer live in the America I grew up in. What the hell has happened to this country ?

They patiently created and grew their own little Mordors, bred their orcs and they now they are getting ready to loose them on us.

It's called community organizing.
