Self hatred is a really sad thing to see....
It will be 52 years this year for me and I still love my state.
I love this state. It's the people I can do without. On the left, we have the leftover hippies, 'nuff said right there. On the right, we have the circular firing squad that executes seagull tactics (fly in, make a lot of noise, crap on everybody and everything connected with the more conservative candidate, fly out) to derail insufficiently pure Republican candidates.
Its 45 for me & believe me, its hard enough having to live with all the yogurt-spattered liberal new-agers in CA without being lumped into those that elected our two senators. What - I'm responsible for how they vote, too?
