The Reagan revolution should have been the end of the march to destruction, but socialists just hang on and conservatives become complacent. They wait like crocodiles with infinite patience until the next meal comes along. I hope against hope that we are finally learning the lesson that we can't sleep or get too close to the water's edge.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-33914889850382127322011-05-06T19:23:43.891-04:002011-05-06T19:23:43.891-04:00Kosh: I'm sure my stubborn determination not ...Kosh: I'm sure my stubborn determination not to leave until California revives mystifies more than one person.<br /><br />I would love to see a California governor just stick it to the EPA. An executive order with the words: "Turn on the spigots, and to hell with the feds." If the feds don't cut off funding for those in violation of illegal immigrant reporting requirements, why cut them off over the Delta smelt? Considering the attitude of the current House toward the EPA, I doubt there would be any repercussions. When the feds say "surrender," the governor could reply: "Surrender? We have not yet begun to water."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-55831771649503444572011-05-06T18:06:18.131-04:002011-05-06T18:06:18.131-04:00Immigration is something that must be dealt with i...Immigration is something that must be dealt with if we are to recover as a country.

It just seems like a Sisyphean task. <br /><br />I guess my issue with Calfornia is that its problems have been discussed for years. Everybody knows that is has too many regulations, too many taxes, and spends too much money. But the people keep electing the same idiots who caused the problem in the first place. The governor and legislature needs to be Wisconsined to purge out all the democrats and RINOs. Portugal and California both have similar problems and in both the elected officials can't help themselves. Right now they are all more worried about not getting re-elected than the financial health of the state. Not unique to California, just more press and on a larger scale than other states.Koshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-57092293346743270522011-05-06T16:40:43.300-04:002011-05-06T16:40:43.300-04:00Kosh: You'd be surprised at how much of Calif...Kosh: You'd be surprised at how much of California is still beautiful, open space. The redwood country is still spectacular as are many of the coastlines. The "cow counties" are still broad and lush (they're in northern California, so they aren't subject to the artificial drought. We have rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts, forests and of course, big cities. It's a terrible shame that it's all being ruined by fiscal incompetents and useless-fish lovers.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-43388348193101880772011-05-06T15:42:59.321-04:002011-05-06T15:42:59.321-04:00I went to school in Reno for awhile and loved goin...I went to school in Reno for awhile and loved going to California for a visit, especially San Fransisco. Often would go see the Giants play and scalped tickets into a 49er playoff game. At that time, the only thing I didn't care for about the state was how populated it was. There is a annual national meeting I try to go to and when it is in either San Fransisco or San Diego, it is a no-brainer. Much prefer going there than Chicago or Orlando, two other places meetings are often held. Not to mention, Reagan came from California. The state also seemed to be on the leading edge of ideas, good and bad, that other states often would try to emmulate. I think that is why I am so critical and think California should be looked at carefully on what NOT to do. These idiots have taken a beautiful state with a vibrant economy and are on the verge of destroying it. I live in a state now that seems to be trying to follow in California's footsteps and nobody seems to be saying "hey, wait, maybe we should reconsider since (insert lame brain idea here) not only didn't work but made things worse.Koshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-60938231391570088522011-05-06T14:46:12.239-04:002011-05-06T14:46:12.239-04:00rlaWTX: I'm looking at the bright side.

Video from area shows California being help by attendants and trying the lake on. After she left, the lake was noticed missing. California was stopped by Nevada Highway patrol while driving erratically on I-15. She was verbally abusive with officers and failed road side sobriety testing. She also refused breathalizer and was taken into custody. During a routine seach, Lake Mead was found. When confronted she stated "uh, they let me borrow it for awhile." A more extensive search also found parts of the Grand Canyon, Lake Tahoe, and Devils Tower. Nevada prosecuter Jed Barns commented that formal charges will be entered later today. <br /><br />When asked by reporters for a comment, California stated "f--k you! You can f--king all go to hell!" She then broke down in tears and threw her shoes at the reporters. This is not the first time California has been in legal trouble. She has had brushes with the law regarding drug use, driving under the influenze, threatening nearby states with harm, and harrassing them at all hours. <br /><br />Oregon was asked about her neighbor to the south. "She use to be a good neighbor with a strong work ethic and values that overflowed. Lately, she hosts huge parties and people she doesn't even invite show up and tear up the place. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try to destroy our place as well. She burns through cash at a rapid pace and I think she is in trouble. The other day, she asked me if I had an extra $50 billion to give her. When I told her 'no', she kicked my car and called me a 'whore'. California's lawyer had no comment.Koshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-24916805665545575062011-05-06T12:21:44.615-04:002011-05-06T12:21:44.615-04:00Andrew: I'm with you.

They've been trying to do things like deny funds for cities that don't implement leftist garbage for decades now, but the Republicans almost never fought back. This is a good sign. Hopefully, after 2012, they will actually be able to get some of these things put into law.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-57318028595810456222011-05-06T11:56:02.922-04:002011-05-06T11:56:02.922-04:00Go, Barletta!

This is simply another example of how the feds feed the national liberal agenda at the expense of the states via bribery. Barletta's bill wouldn't solve that problem, but it would help. Closing the borders to all illegal immigration is the ultimate goal, but making it less attractive for them to cross it is one tool in a larger toolbox.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-11073868190701126292011-05-06T11:13:43.213-04:002011-05-06T11:13:43.213-04:00Tennessee: I am thinking along the same lines.

I don't think Barletta did this as a cynical political ploy, but it's passage is highly unlikely given the current Senate (and Obama would veto it anyway). But it is a start, and it does create a campaign issue subset. The California Assembly just passed its version of the DREAM Act and the state Senate will probably approve it as well.<br /><br />My point is that we've slowed the march of amnesty nationwide, and even though the election will be largely about the economy, the Republican candidate can tie the immigration issue to California's reckless economic ways, <i>including</i> goodies for illegals.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-59980623680806764202011-05-06T09:50:05.163-04:002011-05-06T09:50:05.163-04:00More proof of why San Francisco sucks.

My point being, that illegal immigration is first and foremost a border control issue. Those illegals still in the interior can't be dealt with practically until the government admits that they need to close the border.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76396550229026513472011-05-06T09:21:49.622-04:002011-05-06T09:21:49.622-04:00Hawk - nice post.
