Was it causing a cloud of Smug there too?

The smug in the bay area over these "cars" is getting pretty bad.

Californians are moving to Texas in droves. Last time I was in Ennis, the local bar was giving away bumper stickers that said "We don't give a DAMN how they do it in California".

If you want to get along with the locals, tell them you're from the midwest, NOT California.

I was going to go to one of the southern states to look at a GTO. When I told a buddy who grew up in Louisiana. He told me to say I was from Texas or Arizona and not California. He was not joking.

I never did go, but I wasn’t planning on talking up California, if I ever do move out of state, I don't want any of this states BS to come with me. This state and San Francisco specifically is a perfect example of what unchecked liberalism will get you.

****ty Schools.
****ty roads.
****ty taxes.
****ty smog laws.
****ty gun laws.
****ty gas that costs more then everywhere else.
****ty cost of living.
etc.

Those reasons may be the underlying reason for the distrust and dislike from Montanan's too, but the one complaint I heard the most was developers coming in with big money, buying up land, and developing the land with tract housing. Outbidding everyone else, including locals for property.(Shrugs)

Also, the hunters from California make the local hunting guides in Ennis very nervous with their careless of firearms, and their smugness....I suppose alot of them never went to Lazs's school of Firearm Etiquette.

Just wondering Gto, are you sure it wasn't the border to Mexico, who's openness is clearly due to liberals:cry , isn't causing all of your complaints? Taxes do support welfare and hospitals for certain illegal aliens that can't pay when they get their finger cut off.

A Prius with Montana tags? Hmm,..must be a transplant, or his RV broke down.

California has the LARGEST agricultural business sector in the nation.

Bakersfield has it's own Country Music sound.

My university won the NCAA RODEO championship.

Drive through the central valley of CA and you might as well be in Kansas. Only we can grow more wheat.

Generalizations are always stupid <--- (that is a joke)

Hangtime · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2006, 05:46:20 PM »

yeah.. but there's only 1/10 of the population in the Central Valley.

...leaving the place surrounded by a bazzillion nutjobs.

I am sure thats all true as well, but those people do not run the state.

You're wrong Hang... there are plenty of nutjobs in the Central Valley.

Yep, Californian's are moving to Montana in droves. Buying up all the lakefront property, developing it and pricing the locals right out of their own land. Now they're trying to change Montana state laws to suite their taste like trying to put through a sales tax. They already put in a speed limit. Who knows what other namby pamby laws they'll push through next.

My father-in-law, who never fails to tell me all about it, is just about fed up and is thinking about moving.
