No, it sounds like you were blaming California for everything you don't like in the world. If you have a problem with California, you're invited to stay the hell out. And if you claim to live in a so-called 'free state', why is California so threatening to you? I'll answer that for you-because dissing something else, anything, makes you feel smug and superior, and California is a good target in your small minded world.
Have a nice day.
Oh, please. Get over the persecution complex. It's getting as old as Tecumseh's Christian upbringing. You know very well that California is used as a testbed by the groups with the most liberal agendas, because the demographic in southern California is one of the most liberal voting blocs in the country, and there's little that the more rational people of northern California can do about it.
The simple fact is that no amount of grandstanding on your part can change the fact that California has many of the most liberal policies in the country, and as the country moves in a more liberal direction, watching the way the wind is blowing in California can be a pretty good indication of how the liberals are going to try to get the wind to blow elsewhere.
This is not I repeat
not an attack on you personally, or on any right-thinking person who chooses to live in California. It is merely an observation of how things have gone historically.
You'll also note that out of the 22 paragraphs in the post that got you into a terminal wedgie, exactly two of them mentioned California, and while they were a couple of the longer paragraphs, the sum total reference to your fair state was less than 20% of the article, and the balance was actually about Illinois.
Sheesh. Relax a bit.
