Yes California was once Paradise! The Dem’s have had total control about 23 years now. It don’t take long. Prior a long string of Republican guidance. Yes there was small breaks, BUTT not enough to trash it like it is.
Not until the Dem’s took total control could they implement their Detroit remodeling project.
“California is no longer a model that other states want to or should emulate.”
Who the heck are you talking about? CA is right on the glide path planned for the entire nation.
It seems that Conn Carroll isn’t going to mention unending mass immigration as one of the reasons for the state’s decline, and therefore the series of articles will at best be incomplete, and at worst worthless.
The white population in California is unfortunately not conservative overall, so even w/o the booming Hispanic and Asian populations the state would still most likely be in serious trouble, but the continual importation of future Democrats only makes mattes worse. There is likely no hope for California because the population is increasingly made up of people who are never going to vote Republican, despite the fantasies of people like Rubio and the entire Bush family.
Easy - it turned “Brown”.
Socialism
Mental deficient ignoramuses discovered a strategy to get elected.
Hundreds of them. An endless supply.
The End.
See my previous post, #38.
The perfect storm.
What happened???
Guv Moonbeam was heard yelling “there’s gold in them there pockets”.
What happened to California? People write “liberalism, socialism, etc”.
Bullcrap. Pure, unadulterated Marxism via the Communist Party USA infiltrated and subverted every aspect of normal, pro-American life in the state. Such as:
*Movie industry, esp. Hollywood - John Howard Lawson, the KGB’s “commissar” of Hollywood
*Academia - look at how many communists, marxists, sociaists, and far-left sympathizers hold teaching positions in the universities, high schools, and on downward. The Un. of California system has been a hiring hall for the Communist Party USA and its supporters since the 1950’s, if not earlier
*Religion - The CPUSA has run a number of fronts with fake clergymen (Morford, Melish, Fletcher, etc) as well as having sympathizers in large, black churches such as the Glide Memorial Church. They get a lot of attention at demonstrations, in meetings with political figures, etc. Never are exposed as reds
*Crime: Leftist police chiefs and sheriffs allow certain criminal groups to operate almost unhindered. They blame society for the crimes, not the criminals, and you can see the results. LA has has an estimated 10,000 gangs with approximately 100,000 members (as reported over the years - I doubt this figure is accurate, and probably way too high re what a real gang is). Yet the Bloods and Crips are products of LA.
*OJ Trial: For blacks it was “pay back whitey time”.
*Rodney King beating and trial of officers. Another “pay back whitey” bing of killings and lootings (something King would not have wanted at all).
*Rise of black extremist groups, communist terrorist organizations, etc. SLA -Symbionese Liberation Army, Weather Underground (key suspects in the death of Police Officer McDonald in S.F., among others); US; Black Panther Party; Maoists in Chinatown.
*Almost complete control of labor/labor unions by the reds - ILWU - Harry Bridges, Soviet agent and CPUSA leader, of the International Longshoremen and Warehouse Workers Union; SEIU; UE (United Electrical Workers); key teachers unions and federations; etc.
*Communist politicans from Hugh DeLacy (a great friend of Leon Panetta, by Panetta’s own admissions - see www.keywiki.org for documentation); Dellums - traitor re Grenada reds and his aides Carliotta Scott and now Rep. Barbara Lee (as red as they come); Rep. Judy Chu; Mark Alarcon, sister of CPUSA leader Evelina Alarcon; the Burton brothers and one wife; Don Edwards, ties to Soviet spies Dodd and Stern; Ilana Hancock; etc.
*Massive drug use tolerance - Hollywood!, Mexican gangs, liberal customers
*Massive taxes
*Unrealistic environmental regulations which are driving businesses/jobs out of the state and will continue to do so ad nauseum
*Liberal newspapers who only tell you what they want to, instead of what they should be covering
*Pseudo intellectuals from Hollywood who are asked for their opinions and comments on things they are definitely not qualified to talk about
*Cults - Jonestown (Marxist Jim Jones); Heavens’ Gate; The Manson Family, etc.
*Degenerate and degrading music, esp. RAP. THe praising of “gangsterism” in words/music by the rappers, and then them leading such lives. A horrible example for the uninformed to follow.
*Literally no restraints on demeaning and obscene sexual behavior in public. I don’t give a damn what the fringe sexual freaks do in the privacy of their homes, but that stuff does not belong on the streets in front of children and more morality-based folk.
Need I go on?
