Three running threads full of hate for California ... and I can't wait for the election when California has to take the blame for the election of Obama.

They didn't like that Obama has a lead in Iowa to match California's - or that California wasn't the source of Obama's largest lead ...

I stay out of GD as the fucktards in bumfuck where ever think that they live in a Utopia and that CA is the evil demon coming to get them.

My favorite is that people in all 49 states blame California for everything. Like Kerry got 59 million votes from California or are going to elect Obama in two weeks. Personally I don't know a single person from California that has retired in any other state than their home state. I know plenty that came here in the military or to seek a better life - high pay and a better life style - and in their retirement years - or failure - have returned to their home state.

Yeah it is getting old. Im telling you, SHOULD obama win. we all should have our sig lines say "Welcome to the United States... Like California... BUT BIGGER!"

that oughta piss 'em off for a while.

Paul, I just wanted to say I appreciate your posts. You hit them with the facts, and they can't dispute you.

I don't care whether they hate us or not, but they should at least get the facts straight and quit repeating the same old worn out bullshit. I think some people must skip reading Paul's posts because they post some bullshit even with Paul's tables and graphs staring them in the face. They're either "slow" or ignorant. Fortunately, ignorance can be cured.

You think it's bad now, wait until if Obama is crowned the king. We'll get blamed for that too.

At the same time, I usually prefer to just say "Onlt in CA..." to events that are not just CA related to remind them that CA doesn't have monopoly on stupidity.

Well, then they'll just call you "smug." When Texans brag, it's their birthright. When Californians brag, they're being "smug."

I use to just use the figures but found that the pictures helped.

I'm waiting for the 2008 results to add a bunch more - I'll graph the number of CA votes, the number of CA votes for Obama - and the nationwide votes for Obama. People wander around thinking that California is the most liberal state - but sort of miss the New England states somehow. It is a puzzle.

I write it off mostly to jealousy and you'll often see me tint my posts in green when I suspect that a person isn't as stupid as they're coming off and are rather being driven by jealousy.  

The antburners are going to go nuts in ten days - trust me.

Cheer up. There is a whole lot more to life than a pistol grip and a twenty-round magazine.

I actually feel sorry for those who's life revolves around pistol grips and big magazines. Yeah, shooting and collecting firearms is one of my hobbies - but just one of my many. There is no other state in the union that offers the breath and depth of adventure that California delivers. Mountain climbing to deep sea fishing, forests, deserts, rivers, the beach ... snow and water skiing, dirt bike, jet ski, and snowmobiles - all in the same day! The US revolves around California and things invented here - the television and movie industry, the Internet and computers, porn, the AR-15, custom cars, ...  why wouldn't people on the old and cold east coast or flyover country be jealous?

You brought up a KEY note. I equate them to the gun grabbers. They are not "educated" so they rely on knee jerk reactions and like Obama voters "go with the flow" mentality. heaven forbid they should do research and actually form an original thought on their own.

But, one thing I have learned over the last year with this election and people watching, Most Americans are lemmings. They just follow one shmuck right off a cliff without a second thought.

We didnt sent anyone anywhere. We dont have the power to. But thanks for taking them off our hands. Good luck to ya.

And has NOTHING to do with California. has to do with liberal media, public schooling and other entertainment.

YOU as a parent can stop it. TEACH your children how to identify bullshit in the news, Private, charter or homeschool your kids and turn off the idiot box.

Wow... was that so hard? (Not you MadMex... just generalizing)  

OH and one more thing to add. OR and WA's time isnt the ONLY ones that is just around the corner... three more days and the whole country's turn is around the corner.

Now THAT is scary.

Exactly!

Wait for the results to become final. I'll gin up a bunch of charts and graphs just to prove that California didn't elect Obama - or that he came from here!

Even as tiny and unpopulated as Nevada is I did the math once and it's impossible. In the last ten years the population of California increase year after year. I think it was in 2007 10,000 people more left California than entered yet due to the birth rate our population still increased. Even if all 10,000 of those people were liberals (the odds are they're 55%) and they all moved into Nevada there's still 2,485,529 more Nevadan's than Californians.

What the stupid assholes don't realize is that some of the nearly 100,000 military folks in our state are getting out or retiring and returning to their home state wearing a California license plate. Likely about 40,000 of them a year based on retention numbers of first termers. That means four times the record amount of Californian's leaving vs. arriving head home to their home states every year - year in and year out. I advise all my charges to put a CA plate on their vehicle ASAP to avoid the police and to pull it off ASAP to avoid the assholes when the return home.

Hell my in my neighborhood there's two guys moved here from Texas and another from Ohio - and that's out of 10 homes. Yet am I so damn stupid to think that 3.5 million Texans moved here or 1.75 million Ohioans moved here based on my "scientific" survey of ten whopping homes? We have a running joke in my family that whenever we see a Washington state license plate we say" Why don't you go back to Washington where you came from?" because we had some hateful old hag up in WA scream that at us in a grocery store parking lot clear out of the damn blue - talk about a bitch. We had been there less than ten days and already had some hairy liberal whale of a woman dent our brand-new truck and then this lady attacks out of no where. I tried to explain to her that I was born in Minnesota and that the federal government stationed me in California - and now Washington to protect her stupid bigot ass ...

The liberals have trained those that will listen to claim victimhood - listen to the crybabies - it's not our fault - it's all the people moving here from California voting. The stupid logic of their argument isn't important - it's the attitude of the victim. I can't get a job (never mind I dropped out of school in the 9th grade, failed a couple grades before that, don't speak clearly, don't read nor write well, have a jail-house gang tattoo on my neck, pierced ears, nose, eye, and throat, and a sort of lengthy arrest record, oh, and I can't pass a drug test) but it's not my fault, the system is keeping me down! Those cries of the liberals - that asshole in the parking lot - are all claiming their victimhood loud and clear.

Frankly those people are life's losers. The West was settled by those seeking a challenge, and adventure ... they packed up everything they owned and headed West to scrape out an existence. In the generations since we've seen those people create the AR-15, stealth and electronic warfare, and the personal computer and Internet. These are conservatives in my book - they don't need pubic assistance. They don't need a government to get in their way. They don't claim to be victims.

Like I said, I lived up in Washington and there's some damn fine people up there - but there's also a whole bunch of leftist liberal tree huggers. Similar to the Bay Area but even more centered around the wacko environmentalism of the left. The media reflects this too - and it's very popular to blame the invading Californians retiring up there bringing millions and millions of easy dollars into their economy. They're cutting down trees to make room for homes - it's them Californian's fault. Ah shit it is.

Another surge tonight leading off with the state's budget which was in the news months ago. Loving it.

"Schadenfreude" is a German word loaned into English that seems to mean someone who gains joy at the pain of another ....  and ant burner!

It rained 99 days out of the first 100 that I was there.

And rust never sleeps up there.
