The next time a pundit talks about “evolving” and that the Republican party now needs to embrace amnesty, point at California and tell them “that” is what we’re trying to stop.

Or an Executive Order. When was the last time Obama listened to Congress?

Oh yeah, never.

There’s just something morally bankrupt in the idea cheering for harm to come to so many Americans.

But that’s what you’re doing. It should be obvious to any reasonable person that America triumphed because of individual liberty and free markets.

You and your ilk are voting to deprive us of the freedoms guaranteed to us in the constitution. Economic freedoms that allowed us to prosper. YOU’RE the one cheering for harm. YOU’RE the morally bankrupt among us.

All we wanted was for you, your socialist tyranny and your nanny-state authoritarianism to leave us alone.

And the irony of it all is that all those welfare, food stamp and disability recipients that voted for Democrats aren’t doing it because they believe in the calling of Karl Marx. They’re just following the same laws of free will and self-interest that Democrats demonize.

Will CA repeal prop 13? That’s the question. It will get interesting if that happens.

They should implement an “exit tax” in California, requiring a payment of 50% of assets each time somebody leaves the state.
First it can be applied to permanent exits, but eventually ramped up to be collected each time one of them leaves the state at all. They’re so fond of taxes, I would imagine they’d like this.

Yep, but cheering the misfortune of others is indefensible.

Nessuno on November 14, 2012 at 9:06 PM

Ordinarily I’d agree, but this is what they want. They voted for more of it. NO BAILOUT for them. No more punishing the responsible states and and rewarding the irresponsible ones or we really will secede, dammit. If the Republican ones want to move here they’re more than welcome, but Democrats are not.

Are you kidding? Arnold provided the ski poles on your downhill run.

Sometimes I think that some people who prop themselves up as “fiscal conservatives” really don’t know what they are talking about.

Axeman on November 14, 2012 at 9:21 PM

Did you even read what I wrote? I never said Arnold was a success. I was talking about the election and the fact that CA even voted him in – as a supposed Republican – in the first place. Obviously once in office he was terrible. But my point was that it wasn’t long ago when Republicans could get elected to state-wide offices.

Not cheering really, but California is about to become on of those ships Barky was talking about, the ones that go underwater.

No one said democracy was pretty.
