Yes, Hyper-Liberalism infects most big cities, but in California the whole state is infected with it. You must know that.
The state is a liberal petri dish. It’s as if someone said, let’s see what happens when we give the Left free reign to do whatever they want. The Unions effectively run California, and the state is bankrupt.
Do I have a problem with California? You bet I do. I grew up in Modesto, one of the cities on the list. That whole Central Valley is in a depression. I escaped to Texas 6 years ago, and thank God I did.
It saddens me to see what the Left has done to my state. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see yet another reason to be glad I left.
You want me to do some reading? I suggest you read Victor Davis Hanson’s blog on PJ Media. He gives almost a weekly account of the deterioration of the state.
Hanson's Homey: Well, you just keep focusing on the negative; it seems to be your choice of life-view. Keep reading how awful things are and maybe it will make you feel better about yourself. I doubt it, but you keep trying to do that.
I, for one, try to focus on what's right with things as well as what's wrong, but then, I live in California along with the other 38 MILLION, MANY of whom left their erstwhile home states.
They write on how their home-states drove them away and on to a state where there are JOBS and winters that last less than six months.
What saddens me is that so many people feel that California is a choice they HAVE to make because of what their own home-state lacks.
California was the home of Ronald Reagan, the John Birch Society. We had a Republican as goverator for eight years. There are plenty of conservatives here and we have jobs and pay taxes. Unfortunately we have too many leftists too, but then, Obama WASN'T from California, was he? Other states produce many leftists too, but since we are the largest state, it's not too much of a logical thought that we would produce more leftists. We also produce more of EVERYTHING (except oranges).
