My rant:
It is official; California just declared to the world, loud and clear, that most of California's residents are either completely insane, mentally retarded, or both.
Let's start with Prop. 73, which would have required parental consent/notification before a minor could have an abortion.
How anyone can possibly argue against that is beyond me. There IS no valid argument against this.
I am speechless that anyone could think it is a good thing for a MINOR (as in people under 18 years of age) to be able to get an ABORTION at will without their parents knowing.
Next, Prop. 74 which would have made it easier to fire tenured teachers and made it more difficult for teachers to get tenure.
Again, I fail to see how anyone could argue against this.
First, I do not see the purpose of "tenure." It should not exist. If someone could explain the reason for its existance to me, I'd appreciate it, though I doubt any valid reason exists.
Gee, let's NOT make it easier to fire bad teachers, and let's keep it simple for teachers to become tenured so that we cannot fire them if we so choose.
Great idea!
Next we have Prop. 75 which would have required labor unions to get express written consent from their members before using their money for political purposes.
Most teachers, unfortunately, are leftists, and the California Teachers Association alone spent around $60 MILLION dollars on this election. All said and done, teachers unions dropped about $100 MILLION dollars on this election.
That's a tenth of a billion dollars.
That's a lot of freakin' money.
Prop 76 would have placed a cap on state spending.
This is the one that really blows my mind. Gov. Davis was recalled in large part because of his tripling of the car tax.
We put Arnold into office in order to change things, and he started by repealing the car tax.
Now we have voters saying that they do NOT oppose more spending by the government.
CA voters are more fickle than a 16 year old on prom night, and that's being polite.
They simply cannot be pleased. Spend more, spend less. Tax more, tax less. Control spending, spend like a drunken idiot.
Again, my assertion that CA voters are mentally deficient is supported by the results of this election; they are so inconsistent, and their flagrant inconsistency is indicative of a dysfunctional mind.
Next we have prop. 77 which would have taken power AWAY from our communist legislature and instead let a panel of three retired judges draw district lines, and if I heard correctly, new district maps would have to be approved by the voters of CA.
I was not too sure either way on this one, but I did vote for it.
With how CA voted in this election, I'm glad it failed. I wouldn't trust the average CA voter to find her way out of a paper bag, let alone approve legislative district maps.
Finally, we have prop. H in San Francsico, that paradise for perverts.
Prop H would ban the manufacture, distribution, sale and transfer of firearms and ammunition within San Francisco, and ban City residents from possessing handguns within San Francisco.
I'm preaching to the choir here, so I'll spare you my comments, I'm just stupefied that it passed, especially with what seemed like pretty substantial opposition, even from SF's communist newspapers. (Yes, you read correctly: The SF chronicle opposed the gun ban. No, I cannot believe it either.)
CA voters proved to the world yesterday, November 7 2005, that they are absolutey, 100%, certifiably mentally retarded. There is no sound logical, factual defense for each of those propositions failing and for Prop. H passing.
I am ashamed to be a Californian, and the results of yesterday's election only brings more truth to my statement when I say to people, "I don't live in America; I live in California."
This statement could not be more accurate and correct: I do NOT live in America, I live in California.
I truly hope that the San Andreas Fault blows up and rips the diseased left coast from my state.
Good Lord God, how badly we need it.
Sorry folks, I needed to rant.

Yesterday set the stage. The left in California is reaching for the lever on the toilet an is getting ready to flush the state once and for all. The results of this election show that there is no hope. The infestation is too deep and cannot be cured. Too much government dependance amoung the masses. It will soon be worse than france.
...........um....better not go there.
