O.B.,
I lived in Carlsbad from 1985 to 1990. Was planning to retire there (1993). We saw the handwriting on the wall and, with great regret, took our leave.

In 1955 I was in bound to NAS North Island for my first duty station. The ag inspectors at the border told me that 2500 people a day were moving into the state. At that time San Diego was a sleepy little Navy town with Convair as a major employer.

Now 2500 people a day are moving out of California, San Diego is an over prententious, sprawling bedroom community, Convair is gone, and, if Obama has his way, the Navy may leave too. Change, it’s what happens when you’re not looking.

I once lived in Boulder, CO as well. I love these geographically well located places, but it seems they always get overrun by the trust fund yuppies and become exclusive liberal enclaves. Same goes for where I live now, but I’m too old to run so I’m gonna fight. That’s the only answer now Get fiscal conservatives elected or else!

Thank you for the link to David Yeagley’s blog. He and I had part-time library jobs when we were both in divinity school (and were both un-PC!) and used to have good coffee-break conversations in the library staff room– glad to know he’s still around and taking no prisoners.

I just wish I were part Native American so I could call myself Bad Cat.

Reference Boulder and Ft. Collins, CO. Both these places have reputations for being insulated from reality. In Ft. Collins there are four places to buy Tibetan goods in a three block area of downtown. That says something about a place. I wonder how the residents of these towns would react if their neat, clear and superficial lifestyles came crashing down in an economic collapse or act of violence? Blame Arizona’s new law?

I am visiting my mother in Colorado and visited friends in Louisville. They pointed out that the city of Boulder had instituted a boycott of Arizona since they were all for “diversity”. I emailed the city and told them why I would not visit the city and spend my hard earned dollars there.

I told them to enjoy their boycott and I would enjoy mine. We all need to let these people know that their actions have consequences too.

Hey, they’ve got to coerce others to conform to their way of thinking. It’s the only way to achieve tolerance and freedom!

Ain’t it odd how the moral-relativism, you-make-your-own-truth kind of folks resort immediately to all kinds of pressure tactics against other folks who dare to disagree with them?

I now live in North San Diego County.

Hey, me too! Carlsbad here. I’m getting the impression that SD proper is increasingly becoming liberal-infested, this just being another example.

Word in the Mississippi delta is that many of the growers are switching from Chevy pick up trucks to Fords.

I wish that I had planned a vacation to San Diego just so I could now cancel it!

I get the feeling the toughest boycots are the ones unannounced and without all the media fanfare. General Motors knows what i’m talking about.
