California is a testament to the fact that there is no prosperous polity that bad government can’t destroy.
The Fool’s Gold State
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
California is what happens when the government dissolves the people and elects another.
After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers’ Union
Had leaflets distributed on the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could only win it back
By increased work quotas. Would it not in that case be simpler
for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Brecht
California is heading for an eventual revolt, the fate of all rigged one party states.
I’d like to think Democrats everywhere are headed towards an electoral shellacking that will leave them wandering the political wilderness for two generations.
I’d like to think that.
Pray and hope, Ernst. Pray and hope.
