Why We Call Them Lagunatics

[FoxNews] Patriotic patrol-car lettering sparks backlash in California city: Laguna Beach debates whether American flags on police vehicles are too aggressive.

#12  It's funny driving north from San Diego. Orange county has very nice highway without graffiti or billboards. Then you hit the LA border and it's barbered wire to protect the signs and graffiti everywhere anyway. Pot holes and cracks in the road are more common than smooth sections of highway. It's really night and day, they don't really even need a welcome to ... sign.

#11  "..Laguna Beach is still pretty conservative as a whole..."

Not so much. It has always been a bit wacky/lefty - hence the term Lagunatics. Big artsy community along with the Boys Town bars.

#10  Whatever the local politics may be there, I don't buy from california companies if I can help it and I sure don't fly there and spend my dollars.

#8  Laguna Beach is in Orange County, traditionally a bastion of the Republican Party. Orange County has changed a lot since Bill Clinton left the border open but I think Laguna Beach is still pretty conservative as a whole. What we have here is one loud-mouth who managed to get her opinion printed by the LA Times. I do not believe she speaks for the community.

#7  We have a local speed trap. The LE cars are white, the markings are all very light gray.

#3  It is an ugly design though. They could have done better.

You'd think the left would appreciate the cops making themselves stand out so well. The typical Police SUV blends better than most police vehicles.

#2  We should put large american flags on each ballot. Perhaps that will drive them away from voting.

#1  Oikophobia should be as unacceptable as racism.
