As some one that lives in California 95 % of the state is great

As for that other 5%....

Could we borrow about 3000 JDAM for are own Shock & Awe campaign to liberate the state from the current regime?

Speaking of San Francisco and California ..

I hate Disneyland, and Hollywood too
I hate the walk of stars and the LA Zoo
The rent’s too high, the people are mean
The beaches are dirty and the streets are unclean
The women are bimbos and the men are all gay
And everyone’s an actor waiting tables by day
The water is polluted and the mayor’s a dork
And they dress real weird, almost bad as New York

... then why are we not boycotting California ? ...

The colleges teach Anti-American hate.

... hardly restricted to California, c'mon up to Idaho sometime ... happens here too.

The state is ran and represented by socialists.

... the only Socialist Party rep in congress is from Vermont. If your talking about Democrats in general, again they're not restricted to California.

The 9th Circuit Court makes idiotic Anti-American.

... the 9th Circuit covers most of the western USA, not just California.

And its main export, Hollywood perversion, is overwelming represented by the Anti-American hating crowd.

... For all the hoo-haa about Hollywood, farming and manufacturing in California far far outstrip the Hollywood earnings ... plus most USA movie and television production is no longer in California.

If these are your problems with California, you can find any of these reasons to boycott every other state in the union also.

There is a great vast Central Valley of California that is very conservative

Thank you! Agriculture is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest California export. Cut us some slack! We feed much of the US and the world.

Think about it this way...the protests today...99.9921%(no math done to come up with this figure) of the citizens of California did not participate. How their local/state govt works should not make a diffrence to the rest of us. That's one of the beauties fo our country, if you don't like something you can move.

I believe there are alot more conservatives in Cali than the media would have you believe. Hell the Gipper is there!!!!!

No boycott on California!!! Hello from Georgia.

Agriculture is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest California export. Exactly!! Boycott California and you will be importing much of what you eat. California is the number 1 agriculture state in the nation.

Just because all the liberal coastal areas get all the publicity, many people think that is California. It is only a small portion, but with the lion's share of RATS.

I think it's a bad idea, and not necessarily because I live there. ;o)

Boycotting the whole state would be counterproductive. Boycott the socialist actors and musicians, sure, but support the good ones. There are other reasons to live here besides being a socialist.

I do think we should boycott those ingrate Canucks, since we buy most of their stuff, and protect their socialist hineys, and they hate us so badly and vocally.

Pendulums have a way of swinging back. Have you watched these "protests"? Have you felt the reaction to Natalie Maines and her idiotic, know-nothing peers? How about the increasingly desperate pitch of the hardcore liberal partisans? Certainly you have seen today's Gallup Poll numbers that show 76% of the American public supports the American action in Iraq.

These depraved spectacles--especially the protests that resemble thug-fests--have a way of turning off and swinging the center voters. It is instinctively repellent to most people.

The fringe freaks are doing you a favor by radicalizing the cause and public perception. No one (save the twisted) wants to associate with that group. These nuts are not just in California (check out Madison, WI), but they tend to get the press there (usually because you can always find a Danny Glover, Rob Reiner or other nitwit willing to march arm-in-arm with the loons).

Forget the boycott. Give them more air time. They will shoot themselves--you'll see--and you can still enjoy California wines.

Bad idea. And by the way, not all teachers are socialist/leftists. The conservative ones do not feel they should be imposing their views on their students, so the only vocal ones are the lefties, creating a bad image for all. As a Californian, what we need is support (at least moral) from other freepers to allow us to effect change from within. Won't be easy, but this is the land of Ronald Reagan after all, so it is not impossible.

No please don't. Besides Kalifornia being the home of Free Republic, I still live here.
