I am at a loss to understand how you could possibly pry any of these accusations, three of which you draped in quotation marks, from my post?
You can see all that from Germany?
Being someone who has lived here during five decades, I say you're wrong. It is very much recognizeable, although it is overridden with massive regulation, non-business friendly liberals, and about 5 million illegal aliens (who theoretically do not vote). Gerrymandered districts, along with liberals overwhelming the political stage, have resulted in a disproportionate number of liberals dominating state and local governments.
But all is not dead, and all conservatives have not fled as you suggest to "solve their problems;" surrender or flight is no solution at all. Despite the liberal leaning of our current Governor(R), the man clearly ran on a campaign of fiscal conservatism and the rule of law, and won in a landslide (the two conservative candidates took almost 70% of the vote). Other conservative initiatives have passed, or come close to passing, that show that Conservatism is not dead.
So, please don't be so quick to write off California or succumb to the tired tirade of it being 'ungovernable' or how everyone needs to move "leftward." What we need is moral support, not a bunch of outsiders telling us why it "can't be done." And the tax tea parties, combined with an upcoming special election, are a good time to show it can be done.
Huh?
