Californians, DON’T MOVE TO ARIZONA unless…
Sun August 31st, 2003 12:13 MSTAfter this terrifying article by VodkaPundit, it is my duty to reveal the following information:
WARNING: Californians, DON’T MOVE TO ARIZONA unless you like the following:
- We have lots of guns and allow open carry or licensed concealed carry.
- We have plenty of conservatives.
- We have the country’s largest nuclear power plant.
- We allow and have plenty of evil-looking assault rifles™, and we keep them pointed west.
- We don’t have Hollywood stars to tell us how to think.
- We don’t label everything that has a .00000000000001 chance of causing cancer.
- We used to have lots of trees to hug, but the environmentalists let many of them burn. The rest are for us, not you.
- We don’t have a coastal commission.
- We don’t have any nude beaches.
- We have annual hunting seasons, including one on tree-huggers and another on animal-rights extremists.
- Barry Goldwater was from here.
- Dan Quayle and Gordon Liddy live here.
- It gets warm here, although today it is only 107F.
- Every wild bee in Arizona is a KILLER BEE!
- We also have lots of these (picture from my street a couple of days ago - Tiger Rattlesnake):
Trust me… if you don’t like this, don’t come!
John,
That’s a supurb sales job. I was thinking of Idaho but now I may take another look at Arridzona.
BTW, some really huge chunks of your state are beach, and I know some nudity goes on there.
Nude beaches? You ever been stuck with some jumping cholla? Yikes, the thought of them in a sensitive area is scary.
No Californians Please
This is a must read if you live in California and are considering a move to Arizona. Don’t come here! Sides which it’s hot here, hot enough to fry your brains. We don’t need any more people, sides which water is scarce here. Guns aren’t.
O…
An addendum to the nuke plant thing: We USED to have the three largest reactors in the country (there are three units at Palo Verde), but we got displaced. Those bastards in Texas have two units that just slightly beat ours. Of course, our total output beats them (and everyone else) by a mile.
Very comforting while watching the blackouts in the East.
One other thing: The first thing I did when I moved here was strap my Ruger on my hip and go for a stroll in public. What a state! I might not be a native, but I do try to fit in…
Airheadzona is as European as CA. Twelve years ago, as I headed for Sky Harbor on a Sunday morning at 7:45 I was caught by one of those automatic speed trap radars doing 48 in a 35 zone. This was on the four lane hiway from Camelback to Sky Harbor. Not a speck of other traffic, BTW. Since then I’ve not set in foot in AZ or spent a dime of my or my company’s money in AZ. Keep your facist state and heavy woo-woo population of astrology buffs.

Well, dude, doing 48 in a 35 zone is illegal. It may be a stupid speed limit at 0745, but what’s new about that?
And astrology buffs? You, in California, are complaining about OUR astrology buffs? Hah!
Trying to place just which 4 lane highway from Camelback to Sky Harbor has a 35 mph speed limit…
um, let’s see…
can’t think of a single one
And I don’t believe (could be wrong) that photo radar is used/allowed on the highways.
And, if the speed limit is posted, why is it a speed trap?
And, oh never mind - we want this guy to stay away.
I have notice that on some days, Phoenix looks like LA. They must share the same smog. Arizona really is a nice state, especially in the northern part.
Ditto for us in Texas as well. We don’t need a influx of people who have already destroyed one state. I’d like to add that arizona will soon have a pipeline running to el paso to get its gasoline at a reasonable price. …and how many states have their own power grid?
For all yall that live in CA………to be totally honest yours stupid. If you are willing to pay 350-400K for a two bedroom house just because you “think” you are living close to a dirty-ass beach then you need not bother to move to AZ…….your stupid sorry ass needs to stay in CA with all the other wanna-be snobs who think they actually have it well-off.
This sounds perfect - I’m off to E Bay now, to buy some land!!
Hey, guys, what about us squared away native Californians who are dismayed by all the bozos who’ve moved here in the last 30 years and given us a bad rep? We weren’t always full of snivelling left-wing bedwetters. We just are now, and are hoping they’ll move back to the East Coast, where they belong.
California has been full of lefties for a long time. I was there in the late ’60s and it was that way. I lived in Santa Monica in the late ’70s, and Jane Fonda’s gang took the town over, slapped on rent control which I think are still in effect.
I would love to live in California again. But there are too many people, the prices are too high near the ocean (which is the only draw California has for me), and almost all of my personal weapons are illegal there.
Of course, if you happen to be a Republican, you could move here. Republicans are a lot less likely to be scared of the things I mentioned above :–)
Hi,
I noticed one thing among people who’ve been in Arizona a long time - they do not like people who come from California. And I was busy, so I didn’t have time to really find out why, but for those who are there, what’s the deal? Do a lot of people come from Los Angeles with a lot of money, trying to escape CA taxes, and arrive in Phoenix wanting it to be just like Los Angeles? Or do you end up with a lot of the homeless from Los Angeles who don’t have anything to contribute and become another mouth to feed and take care of.
