There is something else, it’s called administering the laws we have and working together in a community. That is where the greatest yield can be found in terms of making Oakland a safer place.” Link to comment

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 When he was mayor of Oakland he was being pushed to place more restrictions on firearms, he came down on the side of the RKBA. He isn't a paragon of protecting our 2nd Amendment civil rights, but he isn't a demon either. Link to comment

Harvey Mushman Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was born in Alabama. I lived in California during Moonbeam's first two terms - over 30 years ago (he was FIRED by the voters vying for his next term after turning record surplus into record deficit and suppporting FAR left ideology. Even a blind sow finds sweet corn when wantering in the forest (that's the Alabama in me)..... Lumpy is spot on - I would not trust Moonbeam with our Second Ammendment rights, for a single HEARTBEAT!

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sad to say, but Flaky Jerry is the bastion of rationality and restraint in California leadership. I do think he's learned from his first term mistakes. And did you see the leading Republican gubernatorial candidate? He's openly hostile to the 2nd Amendment. Link to comment
Harvey Mushman Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Uno, that show's how far California has plumeted. I haven't seen that about the R candidates, but the Repubs have a recent history of not putting up the best candidate in CA (not that it would matter with the demographics at this point). Maybe it's like industry - the best have already left............ once upon a time, the Golden State was the overwhelming capital of aviation in the US, and the world. The last remaining company (N-G) moved their HQ and left the state a few years ago........ BTW, this is MoonBeam's THIRD term - he served two the first time (the first sign of the increasingly left direction of CA politics)! Link to comment
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hey Harvey-Pete Knight has done a good job for us, to bad he's retiring this year. He still hold the worlds record as the fastest winged pilot in the world(4,519 mph)in an X-15. Uno-If you think a 'leopard' can change his spots-You're soooo, wrong. LG Link to comment
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Don't misunderstand me, I'm no fan of Jerry. He's just so much better than the other possibilities, like the barking moonbat Lt. Gov.; Gavin Newsom. I'd certainly have preferred a real conservative Governor. But, that'll be a cold day in hell. Colder still as the Republican's "New Breed" candidate: Neel Kashkari, is sounding like he's going to outliberal Jerry. It'll be a sad day when the last adult leaves California leadership. You think things are bad now? Wait till almost ALL of the bills the loonieslature sends to the governor's desk are signed into law. I'm personally gittin' while the gittin' is good. Link to comment
Harvey Mushman Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Lumpy - Agreed on Pete Knight! Uno - Agreed that there are LOT's worse than Moonbeam, but that is a VERY LOW BAR!!!!! I have loved CA throughout my life - moving around the country every couple years since birth (having lived in 9 different states and traveled to all 50), plus all the continents. We had long planned to retire here - we are losing hope waiting for an epiphany amongst the CA voters..........and we are OPTIMISTS! Link to comment

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Harvey, I'm a fifth generation Californian, so this state is in my blood; I love it. I can also read the tea leaves. After 30 years one party rule, the state has been changed so radically that it's largely unrecognizable. The progressive model of high taxes, higher spending, soft and hard corruption, overly generous social programs, anti-business laws and regulations, and the ever increasing amount of highly paid, pensioned unionized government workers is unsustainable. Collapse, ever higher taxes and some form of bankruptcy is inevitable. Look at the state's bond ratings: they're at the "Are you insane?" junk bond level. Nobody in the financial community really expects these bonds to pay off. BTW: In a recently published report, California was rated the absolute worst of the 50 states to retire to. To the good - it was nice telling Calam it was 82 degrees here wile she was fighting an arctic blizzard in St Louie. Link to comment
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 People keep posting about Gov. Brown, "Well, he did this or he did that..." Well he SAID just the other day that new anti-gun laws won't decrease violence. How about we give him credit for facing down the hard core gun banners and telling the truth? Link to comment

Joe-he pulled the same crap when he 'got-n-bed' with the state unions. Brown is just that-BROWN to his eyes, for a reason. Look at his history of 'kiss'n-up' till after the election. I will say no more, as I don't what this thread locked on my account.......... LG Link to comment

Well he SAID just the other day that new anti-gun laws won't decrease violence. How about we give him credit for facing down the hard core gun banners and telling the truth? Wish I could, Joe. Unfortunatley, I am personally very well familiar with his lengthy past in helping destroy this formerly great state. I can give a little credit in this minor instance, but it is with a very jaundiced eye - given his past of major duplicity. Perhaps ya had to live through the Moonbeam disasters in his first two terms. He was only re-elected this time because the majority of those who remember his first 2 terms disasters have already left the state, and the rest of those who vote now are largely ignorant of his history - or history (and economics) in general....

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Harvey-The knotheads that voted Brown this time, were fill'n diapers during his first 2 terms. History repeats again........ Sorry Col Dan- But this piece of work, we have for governor deserves no benefit of doubt in any shape or form-EVER LG Link to comment
