I was born in Texas. I have lived in both California and Texas. I will never live in California again.
The only thing good about Cali was the town in which I lived, Ventura, because it is the idealistic version of California I grew up seeing on the television. However, the idiots that live and vote in that state deserve what is happening to them. And they should be forced to stay in California to live with their choices rather than polluting my new home state of Nevada with their presence.
It is becoming clear what liberal/progressive policies do to a society and what conservative approaches and traditional American values can produce:
Texas, increasingly, is the economic and intellectual leader of the U.S. During the last 18 months before the current recession took hold, while the country as a whole was still creating jobs, more than half of those jobs were created in a single state: Texas.
Texas has usurped the leadership position that, decades ago, belonged to California. Today California is in decline, likely irreversibly so.

John-from CALIF // November 13, 2009 at 6:28
I was born and raised in Modesto (area) of CALIF. I moved to Los Angeles where I lived and worked for 25 years. I retired from the LAPD in 2008 and could not get the hell out of that misrable state of CALIF fast enough!
I moved to a small community east of Dallas and love it! The “cost of living” and “quality of life” are OUTSTANDING! Had I known 4 years ago what I know now-I would have bailed out of CALIF years ago!
I came to Tesxas with a “leap of faith”no family or friends-just my partner and I (we are gay). We love the Lone Star State and found it very welcoming-even in the bible belt!
Just “google” the topic “California vs. Texas” and read the articals-if that won’t change your mind about leaving California-nothing will!

John,
I am so glad to hear you have found a home in Texas.
IMHO, when it comes to having an opinion about other states or regions of the country, unless you have lived there, you have no idea. I am grateful to have lived in so many states and countries.
If you ever get a chance to just get out and travel, make sure you visit Waco – there are some really great places to eat there and the Baylor campus is worth a tour.
All the best to you and yours!
