Most of us native Californians fled the state after it fell into the commie cesspool. Back in the 70s and 80s CA was still pretty descent, but every time we complained or tried to clean it up we were called racists and worse. The MSM ran with it and the rest of our fellow Americans just yawned, poped open a Bud, and switched on the game. You said it yourself, the problem isn't the fed-up conservatives and libertarians getting-the-he!! out. It's the fruitcake factories like CU Boulder, Berkeley, Harvard, ad-nauseam that keep attracting these dopes like moths to a porch light.

Giving Christie the shaft is no worse that the RNC shutting out Paul, Palin and the Tea party. Payback is a bitc#!

The only difference between them and W was the fact that W "won".

.........We would all have a good laugh and go back to the day's projects. Then along comes "political correctness". Now you have to watch out which way you step, lest you be accused of being a "racist".

Crystal, The problem isn't all "old white men". But it's all of those "old white men" who have never been around anybody but other white people, who sit in corner offices in their suits and ties and try to imagine what it would be like to live around and with people of color. It's not their skin color, but their lack of perspective that's the problem. I'm as white as snow, but i grew up in a racially diverse area of Los Angeles. Back in the 70s we could kid around about our differences and then go find the Friday night party after the high School Football game. My mentor was my Black shop teacher. he called a few of us 'cluck-heads", then we'd remind him that if it wasn't for our people his folk would still be pickin' cotton!..........

".....if the Republicans assert themselves artfully, " sounds about as possible as "...if monkeys fly out of my butt." at this juncture.

Robert Heinlein once said that all rights could be reduced to one common denominator right; The right to be left alone.

Demosthenes, And relation to the character in "Ender's Game"?

Ayn Rand called them "looters".

"a minimally-franchised & thoroughly disposable white male" So, that's what we are? That's the best and funniest label I've had so far!
