    No disrespect to our liberal friends, but I’d like to start with a quote by Einstein.

    Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

    Perhaps he was wrong? My questions is, what is the purpose behind liberalism if everywhere it’s tried ends in social and economic chaos. Weren’t lessons learned from the 60s liberal hippy era?

    Make America California Again? Why?



    The cost of Biden’s race war
    Perhaps nothing contradicts the racialist mantra more than the rise in intermarriage, which has soared from barely 5%i n 1980 to 17% today. The notion of America succumbing to “encroaching white supremacy” seems unlikely when 10% of babies have one white and one non-white parent and 12% of all African-Americans are immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere.”

    California isn’t unique, it’s just another location in the world where liberals gathered to do their, well, liberal thing.

    From one disaster to the next

    Who believed that smiling Grandpa Nelson Mandela, a lifelong communist, would make South Africa the former breadbasket of Africa a liberal “Rainbow Nation?” Wasn’t it obvious what would happen? For those that don’t remember, this danger to humanity and former convicted terrorist responsible for many murders of both blacks and whites was Mr. Obama’s “personal hero”, but only removed from the US terrorist watch list in 2008 due to his age and infirmity.

    Where are those former liberals who cheered for Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, as Mugabe a communist dictator kicked out the white farmers (big liberal cheer) and ended up a basket case (big liberal silence) relying on foreign aid to prevent mass starvation?

    Or how about the current European Union? A liberal fascist dream as the once wealthy Western European countries slowly decline to the social and economic level of those flooding into them. Complete with segregated inner city ghettos, sporadic outbursts of terrorism, drug epidemics and crime waves; ruled over by unelected Commissioners whose dream it is to abolish nations states and rename their inhabitants, ‘Europeans.’

    California – The failed liberal state

    [​IMG]

    It always begins with liberalism and perhaps with good intentions, but then moves onto authoritarianism, followed by a quasi or full dictatorship and ends in chaos. Always, everywhere.


    California has the highest rate of bankruptcies in the US (legaljobs.io), 161,548 homeless in 2022, on a par with the country of Vietnam (worldpopulationreview.com) and a net loss of 262,000 residents in the 2020/2021 year (US Census Bureau.) Like communism its stablemate, isn’t it time this failed ideology was laid to rest in the dustbin labelled, ‘that one didn’t work?’

    I live in Los Angeles and see the damage to society firsthand. This is the liberals petri dish and an example of what to expect.

    We are a failed state. No doubt about it. One of a handful of the worst run in the entire nation. I as a Californian freely admit it. Our local part of California has not failed because we go against the rest on just about every issue. Our big coastal urban centers truly do suck.

    Facebook has a group called Leaving California where people talk about why they’re leaving that state. My wife and I left and will never go back.

    This is going to hurt everyone outside of California until shippers move to ports outside the state.

    My uncle, whom, is like my only family i got, and his gf. Once had a friend who since has passed, but he was a funny cool guy. Back when the man who has since passed, was alive, during a war, he wouldn't smoke, but would sell his smokes. When he got older, my uncle saw him smoking, and asked him, I didn't know that you smoked.

    He said, I don't, but I don't like to go with what's cool, and society now says it's bad to smoke, and people shouldn't do it, and that's why he would occassionally. lol. Back when he was in the war, it was ok to smoke, and most guys did it, so he didn't back then.

    I enjoy not fitting into the crowd or what is cool, on many things in life. For it does mean, at least partially, that I can think for myself, and also be a little rebellious.

    It's funny, I see most people trading in their older cars so they can get a credit for newer ones. It makes me enjoy older cars that much more!!! lol.

    The 50's cars were probably made all in America, were pieces of art, and meant to last, from real metals. Most of the crap now adays isn't any where close to art, and it light plastic crap, meant to not last.

    Personally, I'd much rather buy something that costs a little bit more, and have it last 10 or 20 years, then buy something cheaper, and have to buy it more, because it keeps falling apart or breaking.

    But, I guess, most Americans would rather buy from China, and Walmart. lol.

    Gavin is running ads down here in FL, begging people to come back, hehe, claiming we’re not free here. From the idiot who shut down every business, school and beach. If you were privileged enough you could get your hair done or eat at certain places:)

    plenty of CA license plates over here. Go find someone moving to CA from FL, hehe.

    your my friend. Why can't we all, just get along?

    I thought the Democrat Politicians were the Party of peace? Why do they have to hate All Republicans, and not work with most of the Republican Politicians?

    Because that doesn't make the far left with Socialist utopia of California look good, I'm guessing you might be labelled a racist or homophobic or sexist or some kind of ist for saying that.

    In fact, I'm surprised a liberal hasn't said something to that effect about this thread already!
    lol.

    Racist Racist Racist! The OP is a Putin Spy! Russia! Russia! Russia! lmao!!! Rotf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I mean, we all know what they're ganna say, because they're illogical and immoral for the most part, with nothing original or authentic. lol.

    Whatever are you talking about? My reply wasn't general, it was specific to krispy's claims of neutrality, as he defiles progressives wit "his" every word.

    Oh, now that I've read your reply to Pred I see you and Krispy are cut from the same disingenuous cloth.

    I'm sorry that is the way that you "feel".

    But that is your Constitutional right, for Freedom of Speech.

    The Constitution in which Democrat Politicians are trying to overthrow, and the Freedom of Speech, that Democrats, and their god Politicians hinder.

    Given they're so into socialism, can we assume all that wealth is evenly divided? Or is it just divided?

    If the red states sucked as bad as California then maybe the blue states wouldn’t have to be supporting the vast tracks of undeveloped land that have more voting power than the average wage earner does.

    No need for us to call anyone names, you are doing swell on your own

    It's a Constitutional right TO free speech. But, I have to point out that the ONLY Politician that has tried to "overthrow" OUR Constitution was a tRumpublican, tRaitor tRump himself. And, again the ONLY politician to claim to be God is, you guessed it, tRaitor tRump when he hypothesized he was the second coming. :roll:

    That's not even close to accurate, the states with the highest bankruptcy rate are 1. Alabama 2. Kentucky 3. Mississippi 4.Nevada 5. Tennessee 6. Ohio 7. Illinois 8. Georgia 9. Arkansas 10. Indiana. California's per capita bankruptcy rate is around 25th/26th

    Also, the latest budget reports shows California with a $97 billion surplus[

    California isn't "into" socialism. It's run by large investment firms and research company CEOs behind the scenes - just as every state is run by
    large controlling business interests. That's why it's still the 5th largest economy in the world. Without California shipping ports and Silicone Valley,
    the US would have been surpassed by Chinese business interests years ago. The whole "socialism" thing is just lazy bumper sticker rhetoric
    pumped out by party advertising campaigns to raise money. Let's get real about the world, dude.

    We have one right-wing fan who is cheering for Russian and Chinese style police states. Trump loves the most evil men in the world and has no problem even declaring his love for them.

    When you all stop cheering for actual Communists, authoritarian regimes, and despots, we can talk.

    Why do you love cold-blooded killers or the people who love them?
