He and any other conservative californian is free to either (a) campaign against that state's departure or (b) relocate from it to another more desirable state. If the majority of Californians are in favor of the state's departure though, I have no right to stop them nor will I be sad to see them go. The present California, combined with most areas to the north of the Hudson save New Hampshire, is a left wing jacobin anchor around the neck of this country. It is because of them, the way they vote, and the people who the majority of their residents send to Congress and other public offices in the majority of cases that this country is being drawn towards the left. They are also the regions that voted for Al Gore, the regions that want to abolish "one nation under God," the regions that support legalized sodomy, affirmative action, McCain-Feingold, welfare handouts, and the "right to diversity." So as much as I sympathize with their conservative minorities, I am harmed more by their liberal majorities and would be more than happy to see them go at a comparatively minor inconvenience (i.e. moving to another state) to the conservatives who live there.
