[AggressiveProgressives] Californians hate Bush and here is why

 

 

Californians hate Bush and here is why

 

We have been denied funding for state levies. Info and article is

below. You can see why Californians want to secede and it is beyond a

joke for some of us. We are in the top states for the amount we give

to Federal Government. There were two ahead of us...NY and

Connecticut, but I think we passed both them up which means we give

more than any other state to federal government. But when it comes

time to get something back, Bush absolutely hates it (as did his

asshole father as well). We are the very last state to get back from

federal govt although we put in the most. The very last.

 

There are 2600 miles to the Calif. levee system. It feeds water to

the California Southland as well as the farms and ranches in the San

Joaquin Valley affecting the lives and livelihoods of nearly 25

million people. An earthquake or a flood from snow melt or even more

rain could cause a catastrophic tragedy to not only Calif. but the

entire nation as a whole. This weekend GW Bush in his infinite

dimwittedness made the unconscionable decision not to fund repairs to

the levees even with the experience of Katrina and New Orleans still

fresh on every ones minds. A break in this levee system would send

millions of tons of toxic materials into the drinking water of

Southern Calif. as well as flooding farms, homes and businesses in the

San Joaquin Valley. For the preventive costs of few billion dollars

GW Bush is willing to gamble with the welfare of this nation once again.

Because of him, we had the wildfires because he wasn't willing to give

us a dime of our own money back. We knew it was a hazard. Gray Davis

told him about the beetle infestation. Davis called and called and the

bill sat on Bush's desk. He approved it a few hours before we had the

wild fires begin (he waited till we were in the wildfire season, even

though Davis asked long before that time -- bill sat on his desk half

a year) which destroyed much of our beautiful Redwoods. Not that he

gives a damn as he auctions it off to republican polluters or loggers.

 

We really hate him here (unless we are redneck transplants without a

clue) and he has always hated us here (as did his father)...I'm not

sure if Arnold is getting it or not. Yesterday he was talking about

gas price gouging. Gas today is at $3.07. It is always higher here --

but we have no idea why. My opinion - we should tell Mobil, Shell and

all the other oil corporations that are divvying up the Middle East

while our kids fight in their private wars funded by our money for

THEIR PROFIT -- go to hell...California will use Citgo and bikes and

rollerblades, hybrids and small foreign cars from now on.

 

We don't mind putting money into federal govt. Most of us in my area

here wish our money had gone to fix levees in New Orleans instead of a

war of lies, but we have no say.

 

When Bush said it was now his capital, he meant it. He is always all

over his father for wasting all that money (which was our money). What

he means is that his father did not go ahead and use our money for the

corporations to take the oil and contracts in Iraq (and Iran/Syria)

and build permanent bases.

 

If there is anyone out there who still believes 9/11 or terrorism or

WMD had anything to do with these wars, you don't deserve to be an

American because you're dumber than dirt. If anyone out there thinks

there is not price gouging by the oil corporations, you need to turn

in your passport.
