The Okies Return
Liberal politics are so upside and backwards, they can make history run in reverse. Desperate to get away from the confiscatory taxes, stagnant economy, and social disintegration that are the unavoidable consequences of liberal rule, Californians are leaving in droves for the dustbowl.
Fleeing the Great Depression and a drought unprecedented in American history, a vast wave of Oklahomans and Texans dubbed "Okies" loaded everything they could onto crowded vehicles during the 1930s and headed west for California. Today, in huge numbers, their grandchildren are moving back. …
From 2004 through 2007, about 275,000 Californians left the Golden State for the old Dust Bowl states of Oklahoma and Texas, twice the number that left those two states for California, recent Internal Revenue Service figures show.
Don't worry, Governator. There are plenty of illegal aliens to take their place. You won't get much tax loot out of them, but you can always go to Chairman Zero for a bailout.
Eventually, the whole country will be California. Maybe people who want to work for a living instead of sponging of the government can escape to Canada.

I was standing in line behind one of these Californian refugees who had returned to her hometown. Bantering with the cashier she went on about how much she hated having to come back to this 'god-forsaken' state and how California has everything. I asked her why did she come here then. Her husband was transferred here. So I replied, so all could hear, apparently California doesn't have everything... like jobs, money and a sane government.

The horrible part of this story is: Its liberals leaving CA for OK, then when they get to there new state they begin to poop all over the local politics and shift a red state blue, then in 20 years when the dust bowl states become California as it is now, where will the roaches run then to ruin another state.

I'm sorry for you guys, but glad if those leaving my beloved California are liberals and other lower primates, so it can return to the pro-American paradise it once was.

Jay G. We will attempt to rehabilitate them and hopefully if they return it will be to join you in building a better paradise.

I *can't wait* to get some of them calli-for-nians up into the West Texas mountains. I hear the mountain lions are real fierce out there (and hungry too!) and the desert is awfully big. Real hard to find a body out there... I'm just dreaming, they ain't got the balls to come out to my neck of the woods. I imagine they'll go to Austin or Houston..... Pussies.

"Tell me ag'in, George. Tell me how it's gonna be."
"Well, lenny, when we git t' Oklahoma we'll git our own little farm an' th' taxs on it will be fair. An' it'll be OUR place. If some illegal alien comes 'round, we kin throw his worthless @$$ offa it an' the cops an' courts will say we done right..."

Attention Californians! You need to know that Tennessee sucks, is one of the worst places to live in the world, is grossly overpopulated, there's not a damn thing to do here; it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter; precious little water, confiscatory taxes, high utility bills, etc., ad nauseum.
Stay away from Tennessee! Head for Oklahoma and Texas (my birthplace) if you have to, but AT ALL COSTS avoid Tennessee! You won't regret your decision, I assure you!!!
I hear the Keys are beautiful this time of year (to quote from "12 Monkeys"). The terrorists seem to like Bermuda, so head that way. Or you could always try Canada . . .

I echo JC14's sentiments. I moved from CA to KY and
have already done the investigative research on KY. Go ahead and cross it off your list. It's not worth coming here for the same reasons of Tennessee. Plus we marry our cousins here and don't have teeth. Please stay far away from KY.

Don't come to Texas!!!
It's the home of Satan himself, George Bush!!!!
We have guns, Bibles, and other terrible stuff!!!
You would not like it here! We don't have fires, mudslides, earthquakes, and our ocean is warm!
And the humidity! And it's hot, really hot!
We have rattlesnakes, red wasps, fire ants, scorpions, and that's just in the urban areas!
The place is full of Republicans, they're everywhere! Oh, the humanity!!!!!
