The California Policy Center is a right-wing pressure group based in California that drives a right-wing agenda.

It is no more bipartisan than Breitbart is.

" Why don't we just split the country in two? "

Well, we could just do it state by state. Vermont has wanted to be it's own Republic for a long time.

hmm obviously the next step is to fact check/investigate sourcewatch and see who is backing them to falsely label self-identified bipartisan groups.

I'm so peeved with what the Democrats, Gaystapo/Transtapo, RINOs, Corporate Robber Barons, and Enviro-statists and Baby Killers are doing that I'm thinking it's time to make a second go because my patience is getting pretty thin.

I really wish that our side had our own private militias and protester mobs like the Left did.

You control all three branches of government and both state legislatures. I'm sorry you can't send gay people and other people you hate off to death camps.
