I’m just getting a little tired of the let’s-bash-Californians schtick. (Especially ironic when posted on a site based in California, founded by Californians, and maintained by Californians.)

California’s problems aren’t caused by people who are from here. The imports from other States are the problem. I don’t know how many times I’ve looked into some dweeb in the news who’s bringing more embarrassment to the State and found that they’re just another illegal from Wisconsin or New York or some other place my ancestors left. Before I found that link to Mary Nichols’ bio, I really had no idea where she was from. I just made a guess that she’s another illegal from some other State. And sure enough, I was right; another troublemaker from “Back East” who’s come out here to ruin my State.

I agree with you (for the most part). But a huge part of the problem is with "native" Californians. Jerry Brown is a native as is Diane Feinstein and most of the California Congressional Delegation. Our state representatives are mostly people who were born here in California. Yes I live here too, in the SF Bay Area. I have to suffer with/from the liberals. But most of those I know who are liberal were born and raised here.

And most of those who have moved here and caused trouble seem to be from the Northeast. Those who move here from the Southeast or southwest or even the midsection of the United States are probably more conservative than those born here. The real creeps are from New York (Barbara Boxer) and New England (Mary Nichols). And do I even need to mention those who inhabit Hollywood? Not all that many natives there. We all know the problem with that place.

And of course the big problem is immigration- both legal and illegal. These people are gonna vote liberal 90 something percent of the time. That's why the Democrats brought them in. They are ready made Democratic Voters.
