"California, THE liberal bastion in America,"

Does he know California? I would hardly call it the liberal bastion. That might be Mass. When I moved to Cali in the early 80s there were strong Republican representatives, the R's controlled one house.

Until the last 10 years it was a balanced state, that could go either way. Remember America's greatest conservative President was a former Governor of California.

California had few gun laws as late as 1990. Contrast this with places like New York, Mass, and D.C. Those are the real liberal bastions. California is a state that has been invaded and taken over by Democrats, in part using illegal voters to throw elections.

It has been a high tax state, but it has also consistently brought tax-fighting to the forefront. It passed Prop. 13, the property tax limitation measure that was duplicated elsewhere.

I hesitate to take too seriously an article which includes such an obvious and prominant gaff.

You raise a good point regarding what I've written. What I meant by that statement is that California has been seen as a state that is very liberal in its leaning, one of the most liberal in the nation. What is the saying regarding the belief that everything happens first in California?

California is a symbol of liberalism, which is why many conservatives are now pointing to California as a good example of where liberalism leads. Regardless, thanks for your comment.
