    Kinda looks like it was liberal Democrats who screwed up California and also illegal aliens.

    Democrats are turning the whole state of Calif into another Detroit.

    More fear-mongering from the Right.

    Charles Manson screwed it up. Oh...and the red and white at Altamont screwed it up too, not to mention the 300,000 tripping spectators. The guy who flooded Hetch Hetchy screwed it up. I think Johnny Cash screwed it up too, but I'll never figure out why he went to prison in Folsom for shooting a man in Reno.

    Why the chicken little hysterics? California will do just fine
    It has the largest state economy in the US and the 6th biggest economy in the world.
    You people persist in embarrassing yourselves with such nonsense.

    But...but...liberals.

    I'm not scared of liberals, but I think Apache is. Poor guy. I think there's a 12 step program.

    Fear or Reality? Hiding under a rock won't change the obvious.

    Mick Jagger felt very guilty and ashamed. Probably still does.

    Grace Slick's bass player wasn't too happy either.

    Good ol' Sonny had excuses for everything, though. I guess calling Jagger a (*)(*)(*) excuses their actions.

    Well, it depends on what you mean by "just fine"

    California ranks 44th in quality of public education, 44th in Gini coefficient, 44th in fiscal condition and 47th in quality of highways.

    The rich are doing just fine, the poor not so well. The liberals promote equality a a core value, the Democratic party has not delivered in California.

    Was Kenny Boy Lay a leftist? He and his pack of thieves from Enron are responsible for much of California's financial problems. Thankfully we have a great governor in Jerry Brown who has us on the right track again. California is still the greatest state in the Union by a long shot. I am not a bit worried about our future.

    Liberals ruin everything. Detroit, New York, Illinois, Puerto Rico, etc. All facing serious budget issues.

    Connecticut is another prime example. Once a Republican state, Connecticut boomed from the 1940's to the 1980's. It had the fastest growing economy in the Northeast, based on low taxes and sane regulation policies. Then it gradually became a blue state and you know what that entails ... high taxes, draconian economic regulation, generous deals with public unions, and high budget deficits.

    Today Connecticut has possibly the most stagnant economy in the Northeast. Housing values crashed in 2008 and its the only state in the Northeast where the values haven't recovered at least a little.

    Liberals are like locusts ... they arrive en masse, destroy their habitat, and move on.

    Where was I on that December day in 1969 ? That's right I had other obligations 8,000 miles away in Quang Tri Province up in I Corps.

    That's a real question there: why 300,000 – well 299,900 – hippie snowflakes would allow themselves to be dominated by a hundred Angels?

    California is the most productive state in America. What you should be asking is who screwed up the degenerate south? 10 of the least productive states in America are Republican states from the south. California by itself produces more than those 10 states, lol.

    Productive in what ???

    Porn ? Even the porn industry is getting out of California with all of the regulations being forced upon them by liberals.

    Now we have Governor Brown competing against Barack Obama as the best gun salesman in America.

    Do you know what California's # 1 export is ? Empty cargo containers.

    Do you know what California's # 1 import is ? Poverty.

    Just drove from LA to SF for the first time in a while, I've never seen so many anti liberal signs on the freeway as in central California. Was pretty shocked

    I remember when his father Edmund G. (Pat) Brown was the driving force behind the building of the California aqueduct system in the '60s and the nit wits from the GOP were whining about the cost. In retrospect, it was one of the greatest, most cost effective projects constructed in the in the history of our state and we are still benefitting from it. Jerry Brown is an excellent governor and if and when his proposed RR project gets built I predict the same successful result. It could be the start of a much needed upgrade in our national transportation system with California, as always leading the way.

    It's liberal elitist who hide in their safe spaces.

    The same liberals who are disarming law abiding citizens live behind gated communities with armed security guards.

    This Zuckerberg dude buys up all of the surrounding estates around his own estate in Palo Alto to shield himself from the real California while calling everyone a xenophobe.
