No it is not. I said if you disagreed to go look at the map and how it voted.
(sorry if that sounded snarky, I'm actually looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this...here's the link)

Simply because you and I mostly interact with liberals and they comprise the bulk of our friends, and because there are so many people in these large cities, don't confuse that with the regional politics.
I grew up in San Diego for 20 years, now I'm in Orange County.
Look at our mayors, look at our governors, look at our policies regarding crime, look at who we put in the House, and look at what we do with our schools, the fact is that we are a conservative state. The only thing we do that can be "liberal" is that we put Democrats in the Senate and for the past few years we've been voting Democratic for president.
The UC Berkeley liberal crim programs were systematically dismantled.
We have top notch law programs in our state: USC, UCLA, Stanford, Berkeley, USD...where are the liberals?
When you look at law and politics in this state, we're conservative to the bone.
and that's where the rubber meets the road.
I'd be interested in hearing your view on our liberal policies?
