Anybody ever notice that everything west of the San Andreas fault is a shithole? Wouldn't bother me a bit if utter destruction occurred to the western part of that state. All the beautiful terrain is from the Western foothills of the Sierra, Eastward.
When I was a small kid, living at Edwards AFB, the San Juaquin Valley was the fruit and vegetable basket of America, even exporting. The leftist drove the oil wells off of the beaches, and the teachers in elementary school and up became socialists. The economy began to spiral downward from that time (late 50's Early 60's) .
Entire schools worth of teachers manned phone banks promoting elections of Democrat candidates, and poured millions of Teacher's Unions funds into Dem coffers. The Unions in Ca are the backbone of Democrat elections. Their Union Journals promote STRONGLY (read the Operating Engineers Journal), voting for Democrat candidates, regardless of that democrat's record.
The left is firmly ensconced in the politics of the state. Infrastructure work (highways,etc) always goes to Union companies, The state is full of people who never think for themselves, but simply spout the slogans of the leftists.
It's a mess out there. I love the mountains of CA, from Forks of the Kern, to the slopes of Diamond Peak, I have walked it all, many times. I will never go back.
Yep.. If you look @ what Berkley created in the early 60's that spilled over to SF State University to create Hate Ashbury in 67-70 and the anti-war protests, you might see the geniuses of the issue..
Was it Native Californian's Starting that revolution or the professors and students flocking to Berkeley?
Was it a native California who started the (FSM) Free Speech Movement and protests? No, Jack Weinberg of NY & Mario Savio of NY while attending Berkeley..
Was it a native Californian who started the social anit-war revolution? No, Rubin born in Ohio, attended the
University of California, Berkeley in 1964 but dropped out to focus on
social activism and co-founded the Youth International Party with Abbot Hoffman from MA educated at Berkely. Those guys @ Berkeley, created one of the largest socialists movements ever with the 100,000 socialist march on the Lincoln Memorial. They also traveled to campus after campus to gather support and spread their socialist agenda.
These speeches and protests spread and in a large part created the Hippie movement.
Maybe if we look closely, we might go so far as to say, it was parents in other states who let their children grow into extreme leftist and socialist and move to Berkeley and SF and create everything from the Hippies to what the population centers in California are today.
Take it a step further and see how generations of Californians actually felt as the effects of your states sending it's liberal people, displaced us, raising our home prices, long before we started moving out of California and fucking your states...
Were your parents, grandparents, others in your state just to happy in the 60's "to busy enjoying the good life" to do something about the disaster that was to come?
There is enough blame to go around.. The political eco-system in CA didn't hatch from us alone..
PS there are a lot of good people here that do come from other states.. don't want to lump them in with the socialists.
