That is why I left my birth home of Los Angeles (I have lived all over it, from Malibu to San Berdu as most Angelenos do)
But I was tired of being beaten down and vilified for actually working hard for a living.
Texas (N. Irving) is a warm (OK, a bit hot), welcoming, lovely place. I would recommend it to anyone. NO INCOME TAXES, folks. Even with the added electric bill for the A/C and property taxes, it is still MUCH cheaper than California. And it warmed the hell out of the cockles of my heart when I voted last month and saw/waited in a HUGE line of Republicans. The democrats were so few they were able to get in, pull the lever for their loser libs, then pop out. I was happy to wait.
I visited Austin, the liberal sore; in Texas expecting liberal treatment.
We saw a comedy revue called Esther's Follies.
We expected the worst.
What we got was liberal bashing, jokes at the expense of liberals for 90 minutes.
George Bush good.
Birth certificate is fake.
Gun control is bad.
I thought someone here wrote it.
I love Texas and I don't live there. Moved to Colorado from California.
