Accusing Sacramento of pillaging local governments to feed its runaway spending and left-wing policies, a Riverside County politician is proposing a solution: He wants 13 mostly inland, conservative counties to break away to form a separate state of "South California.''

Supervisor Jeff Stone, a Republican pharmacist from Temecula, called California an "ungovernable'' financial catastrophe from which businesses are fleeing and where taxpayers are being crushed by the burden of caring for welfare recipients and illegal immigrants.

While I agree with people wanting to get away from Sacramento, there is a group of knuckle heads here who want southern Arizona to secede from Phoenix which I think is ridiculous!

it's that growing rift between the left and right that's causing it... i think it will only get worse

And I can think of certain members of this site who pander into the divisive thinking that is slowly poisoning our nation. I think that is why I tend to stand up to them 'intellectual' thugs! We have a government that became cash insular. Anytime a government becomes isolated from the realities the people the govern live the nation is doomed to fall. That is why China is no longer an empire in the classic sense under a single emperor. Even Rome fell becasue their government became way too detached and likewise gave into religion. Romes fall was a slow disintegration followed by inevitable collapse. Rome lasted 1000 years. I would be stunned pleasantly if we got past 300. I think the worst tragedy in having a two party system is it draws lines that separate people! And in that is why we are going to fall unless we change that!

i'de be happy if we make it till at least my kids grow up... but the liberals and obama are working very hard to not let that happen...
