Well said. I agree wholeheartedly with your post.angretired wrote:
I consider myself a transplanted Texan and absolutely love living in this state - with the exception [abbreviated profanity deleted] the humidty.
There are many non-native Texans posting on this forum, many of us are even those icky transplanted Californians. Believe it or not outside of the major metropolitan areas in CA, there are quite a few conservatives in California. The Central Valley is routinely derided for being conservative. The right is simply out numbered and rendered impotent there.
Texas is my newer home for many reasons and the political landscape is definitely one reason. I'm proud of this fact but California will always be where I'm from and I have an interest in seeing them do well. It should be a point of grieving for all of us to see any of our fellow Man stripped of more of his God given rights.
