For some time I have linked articles about Californian’s penchant for slicing their own wrists economically, socially and culturally by passing incredibly stupid laws, raising taxes to an unsustainably unconscionable level and then piling up massive unsustainable spending, that couldn’t be met even at the time the agreements for these expenditures where passed. And seemingly they are surprised at two things. California is going down the drain and those who refuse to go down the drain with California –the sane and normal- are leaving and taking their businesses, their taxes, their families and the jobs they created with them.
Unfortunately along with the sane and normal who are leaving, the insane and liberal who caused all of this are leaving also; and they want the world they are moving into to be just like the world they left. Remember, I did say that they were insane and liberal….same thing.
Years ago I linked an article about a former citizen of an exclusive county in Californian who was leaving because he couldn’t afford the real-estate taxes any longer. Now, you have to understand the reason this county was so exclusive. They wanted to be exclusive and did so by controlling the building codes and raising real estate taxes. All things they voted in on themselves. Even though he was in favor of all of these laws, which he voted for, he could no longer afford them. When asked if he regretted supporting such laws he said he still supported them. And then he left. My thought at the time was; I hope he moved somewhere else in California and didn’t attempt to infect normal people in other states with this west coast insanity. Clearly it is infectious, how else can you explain the incredibly stupid things they do.
As I have said in the past, Patrice Lewis is one of my favorite writers. She posted an aricle called, “Californicating our nation”.She starts out saying;
“If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk-show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.… and so on and so forth.
To this excellent list, I would like to make an addition: If a conservative doesn’t like where he lives, he moves. If a liberal doesn’t like where he lives, he moves and then tries to endow his new setting with the same problems as his old location.”
She goes on to say; “California” is now not just a geographic location but an attitude”, and then cites an article called, ‘By All Means, Leave’: The Amazingly Blunt Response One State Rep. Gave a Citizen Who Wrote Him Opposing Concealed Carry in Schools
Remember, “anyone can be a “Californian.” In this case there was this ding-a-ling, Audette Fulbright, who thinks that the people of Wyoming –all hicks and dummies – should be thrilled that educated, childrearing-age adults from Virginia deigned to move into the midst of such a backward ignorant society that was clearly in desperate need of enlightenment!
She wrote to State Rep. Hans Hunt saying “My husband and I moved to Wyoming not too long ago. We believed it was a good place to raise children. With the recent and reactive expansion of gun laws and the profoundly serious dangers of fracking, we find we are seriously reconsidering our decision, which is wrenching to all of us. However, the safety of our family must come first. We are waiting to see what the legislature does this session. I know of other new-to-Wyoming families in similar contemplation. Your choices matter. It would be sad to see an exodus of educated, childrearing-age adults from Wyoming as a result of poor lawmaking.”
Naturally, being of a liberal state of mind and used to sissies…oops….did I say that…..I mean “enlightened” legislators, she apparently expected to have this guy roll over and beg for her to forgive them, since up until now they hadn’t the good fortune of being blessed with liberal enlightenment.
Remember that I started out worrying that these morally and mentally defective people were going to take the country by surprise and infect the rest of the nation with their insanity. I was so wrong. It appears they have been waiting for them. Rep. Hunt, who looks about eighteen by the way, responded, “I’ll be blunt. If you don’t like the political atmosphere of Wyoming, then by all means, leave. We, who have been here a very long time (I am proudly fourth generation) are quite proud of our independent heritage. I don’t expect a ‘mass exodus’ from our state just because we’re standing up for our rights. … It offends me to no end when liberal out-of-staters such as yourself move into Wyoming, trying to get away from where they came from, and then pompously demand that Wyoming conform to their way of thinking.” This man is destined for bigger things.
Patrice went on to say in her article; “Presumably these out-of-staters don’t recognize their tactics as being destructive. They’re only trying to do good, you see. They just want to tutor the poor ignorant locals to get in touch with their feeeeeelings rather than bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles. They’re just here to help.”
She continues; “These “Californians” have an enormous disconnect between cause and effect. They don’t recognize that the effect of gun confiscation is skyrocketing crime, or that shutting down economic opportunities means unemployment. They never seem to “get” that the progressive policies they endorse cause the crime, pollution, out-of-control spending, regulations and taxes that chased them out of “California” to begin with.” Of course the answer to this disconnect between reality and their leftist utopianism is simple; they’re insane. No other explanation fits.
