For those interested, here’s the Freedom in the 50 States index compiled by George Mason University’s Mercatus Center:

No, not really.
Next question?
Good info, thanks.
Bkmk.
It depends on who you are. For many, it is more "the land of free (stuff)". For the rest, it is tax soft-slavery.
Do you really have to ask?
Piling onto all of that with mandatory vaccines.
There’s a mistake in the first paragraph of this article — a number of people in California probably don’t care about the 4th of July or its meaning, or if they do, they think its racist and imperialist. So its just another day off for them. The whole state slid off the deep end into a toxic Hell of extreme environmentalism and political correctness, and the insane spending and productive enterprise bashing that results from a completely unrestrained entitlement state.
No, and it hasn’t been for twenty years.
My sentiments exactly. To think that Hollywood royalty like John Wayne, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ginger Rogers, Dinah Shore, William Powell, Betty Grable, and Gloria Swanson and numerous others from that era were both Republican and conservative nearly brings a tear to your eye.
All of these indicators are showing that soon California is going to be in the sort of trouble that Greece is in now, which in turn is not at all dissimilar from what took place in the Soviet Union and East Bloc thirty or forty years ago. Socialism does not work, period.
As a 4th generation Californian I am weary of
all these California threads. The libtards run
the place,true, but those of us who are
conservatives get lumped in with the lefties by
morons here who think we march in lockstep
with libbies . Let’s see a few libtard NEW YORK
threads at FR. After all, it was NY libs who
brought their bullshit out West that got Cali
going down the wrong path in the first place.
No and neither is America.
apparently this author, Carson Bruno, does not read Victor Davis Hanson, or he would know the answer already.
No. It’s called the Peepul’s Republik of Kaleephonia for a reason.
Let them have their fun.
...the nation’s largest state....
***
Um, no, California is not.
RE: ...the nations largest state....
Maybe he’s referring to population...
If so, the correct phrasing would have been something like “the nation’s most heavily populated state”.
Can’t take a writer’s ideas seriously when he is this sloppy.
Well,then.....let me have my fun, too!
America isn’t the land of the free anymore.
