Farewell California

The state of California…the “Golden State,” is one of the most beautiful and diverse states in the union. California’s unique geography consists of a very temperate Southern region, near the coast, a harsh yet magnificent desert and a Northern region, which consists of a rugged Pacific coast and coastal mountain range, a great, inland valley (ancient sea), a vast freshwater delta and the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range.

The history of California is as unique as its geography. Originally inhabited by Native Americans, California passed through the hands of the Spanish, the Mexicans and on to the Americans, also home to Russian and French trapping outposts. The main influx of immigration to the state began with the gold rush in around 1850. During the following one hundred and fifty years, the state grew to represent a pinnacle of social and economic achievement. Now, because of the tax and spend (no matter what) policies of the liberal/socialist California legislature, this once grand state teeters on chaos!

California is currently facing a forty two billion dollar deficit. The obvious reason for this is because the state has paid out more money than it takes in! There are a variety of reasons for this. One reason is that the California infrastructure has been seriously damaged under the load of illegal aliens, (ask any nurse, specifically those who work in Southern California hospitals), the expense to tax payers is enormous. Whole industries have been destroyed or driven out of the state by liberal legislators. Finally, the liberal solution to all of this is to tax and fine the last remaining tax payers beyond their means to pay the taxes and support a household. Indeed…if there is an upswing to the current economy, ( I predict that there will be a small upswing before a huge crash…THERE IS NO INDUSTRY) there will be a mass exodus of California workers leaving the state in the hands of delusional and usually unskilled liberals who will most likely be ruled by roving gangs. “This is just some ridiculous, dreadful prophecy” you say? Really…think about it!

Examine the results of liberal leadership in California. The logging industry (tens of thousands of jobs/careers) was all but eradicated to protect the Spotted Owl (a bird which is indigenous to Africa). Logging operations actually cleaned the forest of dried slash (dead trees and dead tree limbs that burn very hot), eliminating an enormous amount of wild fire hazards. Since the obliteration of the logging industry, the liberal-led U.S. forest Service has deemed it necessary to manage the California forests by basically leaving them alone…in its natural state.
