'I'm done': Fed up with California, some conservatives look to Texas
The Los Angeles Times ^ | July 20, 2017 | Jenny Jarvie

E mails poured in from across California.

“My boys’ minds have been taken over by the liberal teachings of the schools here,” wrote a woman from Westlake Village who works in the courts. “I would like to try to save my younger son before it’s too late.”

“I for one wish to not be a part of this control and socialist environment,” said a woman from Vacaville who home-schools her children and complained that California liberals ridiculed her for praying before meals.

“I’m done,” announced a financial planner from Monrovia who complained she was struggling to find common ground with her co-workers. “I want my next chapter in life to be one where I’m in an environment where people are like-minded.”

Fed up with life in the Golden State, the emailers wanted out.

So they turned to Paul Chabot, a 43-year-old Republican who says he’s discovered the perfect place for them: Collin County in north Texas.....

"As your governor, I will not allow Austin, Texas, to California-ize the Lone Star State."

The correct term is "Californicate."

Tell your friends who are contemplating a move that Arizona is a terrible place to live. Scorpions the size of schnauzers crawl around people’s homes, deadly diamondback rattlesnakes roam the sidewalks, psychopaths terrorize baby nurseries with AK47s, and winter temperatures exceed 160F.

No, they don’t want to live in Arizona. Texas is the place to be.

I don’t blame them for wanting to escape the left coast. I just hope this sort of California Republican is truly similar to the Texas type of Republican. What’s “conservative” in California may or may not be “conservative” according to the South, depending on the specific people in question. Coming to blend in is one thing; carpetbagging is another. I hope they know the difference.

If you come here you better leave your democrat vote c##p behind. We do NOT want any of that liberal mess here. You come and go to work every day and pull your own weight

Even the LA Slime sees the writing on the wall. Unfortunately they laugh as the last lights go out and their beloved utopia fades........Liberals do have a mental disease—it is called secular humanism—man is the measure of all things. They will once again learn the hard way he is not— just as Rome, Babylon, Assyria, and all the rest learned. Is America next?

Austin, San Antonio and Houston are infested with CA Leftists, Collin Co. is near Dallas & hopefully will remain conservative.

“Just don’t try to turn Texas into California.”

If you are in Texas, you need to take a look around, because Texas is on the fast track to becoming just like California. And it isn’t because of people moving there from California. There is not a nickel’s worth of difference between your major cities and places like LA and SF, and when you look at the Rio Grande Counties ( now two deep from the river), they are run by Mexican RATs. So Texas is well on it’s way to being just like California, you just don’t want to admit it.

Amen! We already have bastions of lefty lunacy demanding more taxes, more government, more PC, more, more, more ... places full of people who don’t trust OTHER folks with riches that are their own but who blindly trust government with heaping piles of other people’s money and endless power over everyone.

If the good Californians move to Texas to escape the liberal lunacy you should be fine. If the bad ones start infesting it’ll be a whole ‘nother story.

I’m still holding out hope that I’ll be able to put California in my rear view mirror within the next 4 or 5 years and relocate to a simpler life in the South Pacific. Be a coconut farmer and grow vegetables and raise livestock. Swim in the clear warm waters.

If you are going to leave Calif. and have few bucks, keep it quiet!

Recall that when pro golfer Phil Mickelson said he was moving to AZ due to taxes, he was threatened with an "exit tax"

I am hoping that efforts to clean the voter rolls will help stop some of these lib pockets from taking over

Exactly what will happen. Folks in Washington hate Calis for good reason.

Grew up in Texas and moved back into Fort Worth years ago. I’ve left since but on my block in Keller we had a family from Missouri, one from Jersey, and one from India. Guess how most of them voted.

If you want to see the future of Texas look at what happened in Nevada, Colorado, and soon Arizona. Between illegals and democrat imports it’s going to get bad.

Cities attract liberals the way cesspools attract sewage.
