Now glen, don’t go and ruin an open opportunity to bash not only CA, but to smear CA FReepers as well...

I suspect that was the intent of posting this article anyway...CA is responsible for not only all of the USA’s problems, but the world’s as well...

All liberals are spawned here and then we ship them off to all parts of the USA and the world to “californicate” them...yes, it’s an “evil conspiracy” and now we’re just pretend conservatives to boot.

Good points all! As a 40-year resident (including for a while in the SF and LA areas) -- I do plenty of California bashing, believe me! (If not for my representative, Tom McClintock (R-CA), I would have a much rougher time of it for sure!)

As a transplant from Baltimore and, later, Detroit -- this is why, for all of its problems, California looks a little better to me than it probably really is ...

HA HA HA HA......Just love your post! I was going to post something
close to it.

Pssst! California did not invent even the most whack elements of
liberalism although the local politicians are more than willing to
try any stupid idea out there. And, as you indicate, California
doesn’t manufacture liberals to intentionally infect the rest of the
nation any more than the NE intentionally infected CA starting in
the 60s. The seeds of liberalism are everywhere. One need only
to look at the more urban areas of their own state.

Californians who move to more rural areas of other states tend
to be more conservative types. It seems that in places like CO and
MT more of the tree-hugger types have migrated. But two things
come to mind. First, some of those migrants come from areas other
than CA and, second, for some of those migrants, CA was just a
stopover, anyway.

Like you I have a problem with FRiends who lump all Californians into
the same pile of liberal crap. That type of thought is at the base of
modern LIBERAL philosophy. That is, society is based on many
different groups and everyone in each different group thinks just
the same as any other person in that group. Therefore, you, me,
and all Californians think the same liberal thoughts. Put a face
on evil and in this case that face is California and ALL of us who
live here.
