I think it's time this one was revisited. It's not so much the differences between Texas and California, but between the Right and the Left mindset. (note the way the list is composed....Left and Right.... ;D)

My husband was a Texan and I a Californian by birth, yet I agree with the Texas definitions here and not the California (Liberal) side of the list.
