Oakland or even LA are too far away to be a threat to your world, Santa Ana's too small, but the thought of IE Visigoths loose in your precious Dana Point is too much for you to bear.

You shouldn't complain, OC Boy. At least you wouldn't be in the same state with LA anymore!

Nothing an armed barrier on the 5 and 405 won't solve (the 73 is too pricey for most 909ers).

Craeting a new state requires a Congressional vote. Period.

The only state that has to ratify it is the state (or states) from which the new state(s) is/are being created, if the state is being created from the territoryterritories of one or more states.

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

But that's enough to make the chances of this particular proposal happening non-existent.

Why doesn't he just be honest and say "I want to hoard all the wealth into a mini-white-collar techie empire so I don't have to deal with all the poor brown people ruining the state. That's someone else's problem."

Here's hoping this guy's investments implode and he has to relocate to Stockton.

Sure as hell ain't my problem, nor is it other tax payers problem. Where do I put my vote in

This will never happen because the upcoming mega tsunami will instantly wash away all of the coastal filth. I'm not talking about plastic bags.

A Conservative plan to split up the state to try to gain more political traction. An absurd plan that is not only a waste of time, but a stupid idea.

Conservatives need to focus on helping those less fortunate, rather than striving to separate the haves from the have-nots, or the historically-discriminated against from those historically-privileged.

In this state, what else do conservatives have to do? They are otherwise dead here.

we should withdraw from the United States
t to Washington takes all our profits in his pocket.
we feed them and they spend the money on unnecessary wars and palaces anyone
These freaks of Washington drive us into a bloody civil war

[bill sheldon]

They are killing civilians in all defenseless countries.
Why we will support them?

[bill sheldon]

We are strong and independent states can autonomously sushestvovat and wimps who do not feed our hands take away our wealth for themselves the illusion of safety.
See how Washington imposes its forces in weak countries
and destroys civilians there! Us around the world have looked upon as terrorists.

For the most part, there's only one half of the political spectrum that wants to divide and conquer California.
