Let's re-elect Jerry Brown for another term!

Gas costs: Note how nice and cheery red Calif is!
California – Wow! If you do a Google search on the list of Jerry Brown's achievements as governor of California, why you'd think the mans almost a living God! The list is so impressive and lengthy that space does not allow me to list them all in this modest post. Let's just say that the State of California owes everything to this one man's efforts over these past many years.

Progressive housing!
Sure, there have been a few problems. The State budget is a little 'interesting' what with stopgap and huge tax increases on gasoline recently imposed to cure it. And, it's estimated that 40% of the state's citizens don't actually speak English, but that's OK with me. I mean those same 40% also can barely save enough to buy groceries each month, so they are keeping themselves pretty darn busy aren't they? And then there's the crime rate - California's violent crime rate is higher than the national rate of 386 and ranks 15th among all states. In 2016, 60% of reported violent crimes in California were aggravated assaults, 31% were robberies, 8% were rapes, and 1% were homicides. So, that's not so bad and if newer and more stringent gun control measures get put into place this year, why I'll bet that mean old rate will surely plummet!

And while education infrastructure pretty much sucks and LA libraries have been often described as little enclaves that more resemble Sodom and Gomorrah in its heyday, well what can you expect to happen from a very progressive and swinging sort of leadership style like Jerry's?

So, on November 6, 2018 I would like to see all citizens of California, (and illegals and MS-13 members) flock to the polls so that Jerry can get re-elected and then enact even more interesting and progressive legislation! Laws that will help the Golden State continue on a path to become a true Democratic Utopia!

A recipe for disaster!

In his book entitled Liberal Fascism , Jonah Goldberg argued that both modern liberalism and fascism descended from progressivism, and that before World War II, "fascism was widely viewed as a progressive social movement with many liberal and left-wing adherents in Europe and the United States". Goldberg writes that there was more to fascism than bigotry and genocide, and argues that those characteristics were not so much a feature of Italian fascism, but rather of German Nazism, which was allegedly forced upon the Italian fascists "after the Nazis had invaded northern Italy and created a puppet government in Salò."

Fascism is more simply defined as a form of government which is a type of one-party dictatorship. Fascists are against democracy. They work for a totalitarian one-party state. ... Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government..

The question before the American people today is just what are the Democrats really up to? Recent events have shown some Democratic players attempted to throw the last election thinking that they knew better than the average person. Hillary proved she could not be trusted and the American voter sensed that. During eight years in office, Obama's record of gun prosecutions went steadily downwards the entire time of his office. He seemed to care more for illegals than for his citizens whom he was sworn to protect. Yet, while he was in office, he actively sought to create a very porous southern border with millions of illegals, crooks and drug carrying mules literally walking in and settling among us. As a Nation, we're still licking our wounds over that one.

Nancy Pelosi has indicated she wants to place stringent gun control as a main focus for the 2018 and 2020 elections. If she and some other far left activists could have it their way, guns would be confiscated, so that only select government authorities and forces could carry them. (Even the local police would re relegated to the carrying of batons)! Some did everything in their power to dilute the military and our footprint in the world. In the eight years that the Democrats had some measure of control, things when from bad to worse in many Middle Eastern countries which resulted in millions of refugees flooding outwards like a plague.

No, I'm not saying that everything the Democratic Party stands for is bad or wrong. What I am saying is that I would not trust them to run a Kool-Aid stand during a hot summer or any business where profit, efficiency, and the rule of law were of paramount importance! That's my opinion,  at any rate, and I'm posting it while I still can.
