If California wants to exit...split it into Red and Blue, then adios blue....

this is a good column on the left as they propose to take California and leave the United States.......adios muchachos......

Liberals Want California to Secede? Godspeed, Libs...

Take Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, for example. Are there any meaningful areas of agreement you have with them politically as conservatives? Do you agree with them on abortion, gay marriage, Obamacare, the Constitution, controlling the border, taxes, states’ rights, spending, judges, school choice, etc., etc.? Those disagreements might be mostly irrelevant if liberals were content to live how they want in states they control while leaving everyone else alone. Instead, liberals have worked incessantly to create an all-powerful centralized government that they believe should marginalize and prey upon people who don’t share their political beliefs. The idealized liberal world is one where you do the work, they take your tax dollars and give that money to people who don’t work as hard as you in exchange for keeping the Left in power. That unworkable liberal philosophy is inexorably marching the country towards bankruptcy and ruin.

…Which brings us to California and the “Calexit.” Inspired by Britain’s “Brexit” from Europe, a group called Yes California wants to put leaving the United States on the ballot for Californians in 2018. If liberals want California to secede, then conservatives should say, “Godspeed, Libs!” Of course, there are some caveats. Any nuclear weapons and military equipment should stay in the United States. Buy your own military hardware for your new nation. Additionally, large swathes of California aren’t liberal. Roughly half the physical area in California went for Trump over Hillary, for instance. Split the state in two and let the liberal half form its own nation while the conservative “new California” stays in the United States. Given the raw size of California and the deep political differences, the state should be split in two whether there’s a “Calexit” or not.

That begs an obvious question. The Yes California group has an argument about why Californians should leave the United States, but why should the rest of us want it to happen?

Well, if you believe that liberalism is destroying the country, getting rid of California would put a big thumb on the scale for conservatism.

North central east vs south and west, minus a county here and there.

Nope. That's a nice coastline, and it's ours. Run the bastards off if necessary.

Thanks...let's get the earth movers, dig the trench and then build another wall....try to keep the infection from spreading to the rest of the country....

This began as a tantrum over an election. But I believe it could lead to serious questions, like what is D.C. really doing for us that we can't do for ourselves?

We're one of the states that subsidizes others. We send a dollar to D.C. and get only a fraction back. Just on the industry of government, D.C. has surpassed the Silicon Valley in terms of income and property value.

Google and Apple can each build a gigantic battle robot. That's our military,lol. But seriously We develop a lot of military tech in California.

We can use bitCoin for money. Technology has rendered many functions of federal govt. unnecessary.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Let them secede and then invade and overrun them.

 

[Fang]

Let Mexico annex California. The wall gets built on the southern border of Oregon down the East border of California. Liberals get exactly what they want and everyone is happy. Well, expect for Liberals who are never happy.

 

[theHawk]

We aren't surrendering California to Mexico. We'll have a civil war first and kick the traitors out.

Remind us again about your millions of dollars in unfunded pensions.. GTFO

It will never ever happen. Californy will not leave the union, no way, no how. It's even less likely than any of those self absorbed celebrities fulfilling their pledge to move out when Trump won.

I think it's like $64 billion. In my future fantasy land of Westeros, that would be renegotiated.

We'll begin to employ robot teachers. They dont have pensions. We'll invent a 21st Century model of education where cenralized brick-and-mortar institutions are no longer the norm. Information is free and free flowing, a notion that hasn't yet overcome our cultural lag and old assumptions about why education has to be expensive.

Kids could attend virtual reality classrooms represented by cool avatars. Real world socialization can be fostered via local clubs (beach volleyball, mountain biking, search for Bigfoot, etc.).
