Shattuck: #CALEXIT would be a truly golden idea If they want to leave so bad, go ahead, let ’em
The Boston Herald ^ | 08-03-17 | Tom Shattuck

California could secede from the United States. Signatures are being hurriedly gathered for a 2018 ballot initiative that would begin the process of independence for the Golden State.

Awesome. Break a leg. I wholeheartedly endorse “#Calexit” and here’s why you should too.

About a third of the entire welfare population of the United States lives in California. Let’s make that the Independent Country of California’s problem, not ours.

An estimated 2,350,000 illegal immigrants (about the population of Connecticut) reside there too. In the new California they can all be legalized and won’t have to dwell “in the shadows.”

Wouldn’t it be better for the few remaining sane counties to secede from California? Or, at least, let them do so first...then send California packing.

I don’t believe a group of people should be locked into a perpetual marriage at gunpoint when either side has irreconcilable values. Let the loons have their own enclave, and let the rest of us have our nation.

The Left’s values are false and evil. I don’t believe an Abortion Confederacy should be recognized as a legitimate government.

Not all of California; the people of the North State are patriotic Americans, but they’re grossly outnumbered by the liberal hives along the coast.

And do you really think the Abortion Confederacy will leave us alone?

And do you think they will refrain from signing treaties with China?

Somehow the State of Jefferson is always left out. There are many Republicans who would like to establish a “republican”state separate from southern Oregon and north of Yuba City. The discussion has been long going. And, needless to say, it all began with water rights when southern CA decided they would take northern CA waters and they did. Criminals and creeps down south.

It can’t be allowed to happen because it would hurt the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB too much.

They are false and evil. But at some point, they’ve got to figure it out themselves. Cut them loose so they can live in the world they created for themselves.

A good chunk of Oregon and Washington States need to be excised from the evil hives of Portlandia and the Black Hole of Pugetania.

Sweden’s pretty. But you know that’s a bad analogy. As I said, better to cage them in to a small enclave than have them hold the entire nation hostage.

They better start investing in desalinization plants. As soon as Operation: Left Coast Moonbat Secession is implemented, the Owens Valley ain’t gonna be drained dry no more and Hetch Hetchy is going to undammed and restored to its natural splendor.

Great, then we could conquer them and turn them into a productive society.

All this Calexit talk is dangerously stupid.

We have a natural protective Western border called The Pacific Ocean.

Suppose California DOES secede ...

I don't know what it could or would be, but what if the NORKS swung a deal and actually set up a base here ?

Or ISIS ?

We're pretty sure there's a lot of covert subversive activity going on right now on our land that for whatever reason is not ousted, but what if California announces a partnership with the NORKs or the Ayatolla or whatever?

What if every MS13 deportee was welcomed back with open arms?

The left is turning California into a Feudal State. Extremely rich and privileged along with extremely poor.

You know that's what the Left wants for the whole country: them living the privileged, elite lifestyle with all the skids greased for them and their offspring, and hard labor and bare sustenance for the rest of us.

I think it might be time to let them have their little fiefdom (Californicate) and see how low they can go, just so they don't infect the rest of us. I also think the county-by-county vote is a good idea. Hey, if the state can do it, why not the counties? They should sue for it. I'm sure the state would not want to allow them the same privilege they afford themselves...

We would take them out, and then take it back.

Any such actions, of course, would be an act of war. Since the left doesn’t believe in guns (for the people or even cops) or the military (fascist/imperialist), the new Kalifornistan People’s Republic would be entirely banned from having any weapons or military bases, period. It’s utopia, lefties: Turn in your guns and all other weapons.
