In case you don't already pray for the destruction of California regularly, here's some fuel for the fire:

Prideful Californian openly plots the conquest of Real America

"It wasn't that long ago that pundits were calling California a failed state and saying it was ungovernable. But in 2010, when other states were busy electing whatever Tea Partier claimed to hate government the most, we elected a guy who actually liked it, Jerry Brown.

Since then, everything Republicans say can't or won't work -- gun control, immigration reform, high-speed rail -- California is making work. And everything conservatives claim will unravel the fabric of our society -- universal healthcare, higher taxes on the rich, gay marriage, medical marijuana -- has only made California stronger. And all we had to do to accomplish that was vote out every single Republican....

What conservatives fear about California being a petri dish for the liberal agenda is well-founded. For example, as Obamacare gets implemented here much more successfully than predicted, the movement to just go all the way to a single payer system is gathering steam. It actually passed the legislature twice, but was vetoed by Schwarzenegger, who argued it didn't go far enough to cover the children of that natural, beautiful love between a man and a cleaning lady.

In lots of areas, California seems to have decided not to wait around for the knuckle-draggers and the selfish libertarian states to get on board. They can mock "European style democracies" all they want, we are building one here, and people like it -- the same way when Americans come back from a vacation in Europe they all say the same thing: "Wow, you can see titties on the beach!" But they also remark on the clean air, the modern, first world infrastructure, the functioning social safety net, and bread that doesn't taste like powdered glue. And they wonder, "Why can't we get that here?" Unless they're Republicans, in which case they wonder, "How can people live like that?"

Well, swallow hard, guys, because California is eventually going to make all Americans live like that. Why? Because we're huge. The 12th largest economy in the world, the fifth largest agricultural exporter in the world, and of course number one in laser vaginal rejuvenation. There's 40 million of us -- so, for example, when California set a high mileage standard for any car sold in this state, Detroit had to make more fuel-efficient cars; we're just too big a slice of the market, and it would be too expensive to make one car for us, and another for [vulgarity deleted] who want something that runs on coal.

It's so ironic -- the two things conservatives love the most, the free market and states rights -- are the two things that are going to bend this country into California's image as a socialist fagtopia...

California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana, our minimum wage is almost three dollars higher than the national rate, and in 10 years a third of our electricity will come from renewable energy and 15 percent of our cars will be electric.

And while Republicans in the rest of the country are threatening to deport every immigrant not named Ted Cruz...

The bottom line is that we are moving the country's largest economy into a place where we can all be health-insured, clean air-breathin', gay-married, immigrant-friendly citizens who don't get shot all the time. And my message to the rest of America is: do not resist. Kneel before Zod!"

6.0–6.9 Damage to a moderate number of well built structures in populated areas. Earthquake-resistant structures survive with slight to moderate damage. Poorly-designed structures receive moderate to severe damage. Felt in wider areas; up to hundreds of miles/kilometers from the epicenter. Damage can be caused far from the epicenter. Strong to violent shaking in epicentral area. Death toll ranges from none to 25,000.

Lord, we beseech thee!

7.0–7.9 Causes damage to most buildings, some to partially or completely collapse or receive severe damage. Well-designed structures are likely to receive damage. Felt across great distances with major damage mostly limited to 250 km from epicenter. Death toll ranges from none to 250,000.

Lord, Crush any attempt to circumvent righteousness!

8.0–8.9 Major damage to buildings, structures likely to be destroyed. Will cause moderate to heavy damage to sturdy or earthquake-resistant buildings. Damaging in large areas up to 500 kilometers from epicenter, some structures totally destroyed. Felt in extremely large regions. Death toll ranges from 1,000 to 1 million.

Lord, Break down their objection to being proven wrong, Break down resistance to Your grace!

9.0 and greater Near or at total destruction - severe damage or collapse to all buildings. Heavy damage and shaking extends to distant locations over a thousand kilometers from epicenter. Permanent changes in ground topography. Death toll usually over 50,000.

LORD, we beg thee, let thy city-destroying, skull-crushing will be done! Amen!

[Alvin Moss]

Right at the end of this lunatic's diatribe comes the main point- they want everyone to be "gay married" (his words).

That man is an abomination and one of the best things about the impending destruction of California is that he will soon be sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with all the other homosexual Democrats in that vile country.

Oh God, Lord of Hosts, we beseech you, send your wrath upon these wretches now. Let them slide into the sea that they may be cleansed from the land. Destroy their godless cities with their crack infested slums. Drown their politicians and swallow Hollywood into the La Brea tar pits. Let volcanos burn them and rocks fall upon their heads. Open up the bowels of Hell to accept their communist masses. This we ask.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Jerry "Moon Beam" Brown and his band of socialist thieves are all priding themselves on all the free sodomy and solving the financial "deficit" problems to pay for it by the usual Demoncrat solution of raising taxes (to the highest marginal rates in the country). Of course "soaking the rich" is right up there, except for the fact that they have been fleeing the state of fornication in record numbers of late.

Of course the sin of pride is blinding the socialist workers paradise to the looming "debt" problem that they have not adequately dealt with.

California's debt still a heavy cloud over state's future

Gov. Jerry Brown's new budget presented a plan to pay back nearly $28 billion owed, but various sources estimate the state's debt at hundreds of billions.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown proclaimed last week that California, which now has enough cash to pay its day-to-day bills, can no longer be described by naysayers as a "failed state."

But even though it appears to be free of the deficit that dogged the Capitol in recent years, the state is no model of financial health.
…
But numerous reports by state agencies, think tanks and academics have shown the wall of debt to be many stories higher than $28 billion — hundreds of billions of dollars over the next few decades. Brown's repayment plan does not significantly reduce the sizable debt to Wall Street or account for promises the state has made to its current and future retirees but is not setting enough money aside to cover.

I believe that Jesus will not send a massive earthquake to California as it would destroy valuable capital and infrastructure resources necessary for an economic recovery. We can take some lessons from history where Jesus sent the bubonic plague to Europe to bring about an economic recovery.

How The Bubonic Plague Actually Saved Europe In The 14th Century

Studying the history of financial crises can be quite enlightening.

Deutsche Bank's Peter Hooper just published an interesting report considering crises going back to the Middle Ages.

Referring to the work of Juesus Huerta de Soto, Geld, Bankkredit und Konjunkturzyklen, and Stuttgart, Hooper summarizes what happened during the European credit crisis of the 14th century.

What's interesting is how the country got out of the crisis.

From Hooper's note (emphasis added):

"Lowering the denominator" is a nice way of saying that the plague killed a bunch of people leaving excess wealth to the survivors.

Of course Jesus might just be counting on the ObamaCare Death Panels to accomplish the same thing.
