Funny, I never stated that I lived in the perfect state. And, yes, it is an armpit when you take into account the socialist influences you have out there. Let me ask you something; I have made statements about those socialist influences such as the envirowhackos, the militant homos, the feminazis, etc. NOWHERE have I said anything against conservative Californians. NOWHERE have I said anything about the land of California in itself. Now, taking that into account, what is your beef? I would be the first to admit that my own state has its own problems with stupid politicians or whatever. Just because Ronald Reagan and FR happen to come from California doesn't automatically mean it is an Utopia.
Did it ever occur to you that "liberals" (intelligent ones) can be enjoyable friends, neighbors, and dinner companians? Maybe you have some interests other than politics. Just a thought.
Okay, I'll make it easy on you. Everybody outside of California hates it here, that's a given. Now if you think The Sequoias, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, Monterey, Morro Bay, San Simeon, Santa Barbara, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, Newport Beach, Balboa Island, La Jolla, and Catalina Island, not to mention dozens of other areas and communities equally fantastic that I'm sure you've never heard of much less been to, are ARMPITS, well, whatever!
If the irony of the fact that you run down California, when the very site you do it on, that promotes the ideals you champion by the way, is located here escapes you, then I guess you missed the point..
