California's Crippling Environmental Monolith
2015-04-12
[Kanuk Free Press] Greetings enlightened ones. Most of us admire the practical thinker. Often I have attended meetings or rallies where conservative Californians reveal their practical solutions to the state's problems and guarantee if they regain control of the state they will implement them.

Being of a practical nature myself I marvel at the absolute banality of democrats in this state, who greedily continue with their Cloward-Piven-Keynesian dreams of starting the state over, as a new progressive-humanist Agenda 21 working model.

Case in point, Governor Jerry Brown's seizure of fresh water in California is reminiscent of a U.N. Official's punch list. Yet Governor Brown is apparently unwilling to take proper action to alleviate the drought, because he will not stray from California's liberal platforms, and of course its ideologies, methods and practices.

And the rank and file Democrat legislature are no better. Most of them will abrogate anything as long as it serves their purpose. The only real cure for all of California's extensive problems is a change at the polls. Which, due to sweeping changes in the state's demographics, will never result in a republican majority in California, for at least the next decade, maybe never. However, continued democrat control of this state could result in a fiscal and societal semi melt down that the left seeks to re-start California as per their Cloward-Piven-Keynesian U.N. progressive-driven goals.

Meanwhile the citizens of this once great state, continue to suffer, as do our livestock, our pets and our loved ones, not to mention our crops, and livelihoods. People's livelihoods and personal lives are literally being wiped out, and the Democrats will not stray from the new mega monolith known as radical environmentalism, which is now beginning to seriously cripple California in nearly every sector in the state's economy, in private life and in general.

#7  There might be a ray of hope for California if the drought persists for another two to five years. The demographic problem might just be totally reversed. Please don't move to Texas.

#6  We don't need your water, guys. We have toilet to tap. We have desal. Now, if you wanna send some oil so we can power the toilet to tap and desal plants that'd be cool.

#5  This is a perfect metaphor for the Blue State model. Billions on a high speed train that might never be built. Zero dollars to move water south from northern CA and OR.

#4  I would expect them to pull it out of Lake Mohave at Searchlight, NV and pipe it down I15 and dump it into the headwaters of the Mohave river, then pull it out at Victorville, CA for distribution.

#3  Buffet's losing stroke - new moves afoot in the northeast to ban 'train bombs' as well as pipelines. And nukes too. Everything needs to be clean and green and renewable. I don't think they passed math and physics.

#2  Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, and so many others and says, "We're pumping YOUR water to California."

It'll go by Warren Buffett tank cars. Pipelines are icky and pollutitary.

#1  ...You know, there's always the grim possibility that the stupidity being shown on the drought issue is intentional - that Governor Moonbeam et al are intentionally screwing it up under the belief that the Federal Government will 'have' to help them. And some moron in Washington, with more power, bad scientific ideas and greed than good sense, will try and push it through.

Want to see when the next Civil War starts? Watch what happens when the Federal Government goes to Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, and so many others and says, "We're pumping YOUR water to California."
