All right, I'll bite. If any of you don't enjoy flamewars and/or
politics, feel free to skip what's below.

Whoa, now. Conservatives have absolutely no right to call a democratic
state like California bigoted. Not after "black man doens't belong in
White House" slogan they kept chanting after Obama got first elected.
Not after the "rape pregnancy is gift from God" remarks made by your
senators. Not after the war on immigrants and poor that you're waging.
Not after the white male majority that voted for Romney.

I don't know what reality you're living in, Dustin, but to call
California, one of the most diverse and democratic states in the
nation, bigoted, is just mind-blowing. You conservatives truly have
the gift for calling white black and black white.

Lastly, have you seen the article about the distribution of racist
tweets after the election? You can look up the article, but I'll post
the top states here:

Alabama	   8.1	
Mississippi	   7.4	
Georgia	   3.6	
North Dakota	   3.5	
Utah	   3.5	
Louisiana	   3.3	
Tennessee	   3.1	
Missouri	   3.0	
West Virginia	   2.8	

Number of these states that have a conservative majority? Every single
one of them.
