Is the world being Kalifornicated?

Watching O'Reilly tonight, I was simply astounded by the utterly assinine horse patutty happening around us.
(A)Padilla's attorney filing complaints because her client is being treated as if he were a common criminal. Uh, duh, counselor, your client hooked up with an avowed FOREIGN enemy of this nation and undertook to commit an act of terrorism, LONG AFTER 9/11/2001. Every breath he draws is one more than he deserves.
(B) Canada's immigration policies make ours look we had the KGB in town - they accept three times the legal immigrants the US does! Then the same group of unscreened characters can slip over the border with hardly a word. Oh, yeah, let's frisk Grannies at the airport.
(C) That clown that would have been the 20th hijacker if he'd not been caught . . . the German gov't won't release information they have about his activities there because it might lead to him getting a death sentence . . . after all, the US is so uncivilized as to still have the that penalty on the books . . . or, nearly as bad, a live sentence w/o parole. Sounds like we should just slap his wrist & send him on his way. I don't think so, Wolfgang!
It seems like half the world is completely mad and much of the rest have been drinking Kalifornia water. Or is Western Europe populated with Jimmy Carter clones (which is pretty much the same thing; Jimmy has as much common sense as any Hollywood liberal)?

Now this is a philosophy we can use when it comes to f**kers that want to commit terrorist acts. Their * lawyers should suffer right there with them.

It's called civilization, will270. The country was founded on the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and the innocent until proven guilty philosophy, and it has to stay that way or we risk injustice no matter how guilty we think someone is.

Don't take these posts too much to heart. I'm quite sure that the remarks that are posted here are directed against those Kalifornicators that you Californians have to put up with. Gives you guys a bad name. Too bad you couldn't predict the next earthquake, and round them all up to that area.
Anyways, I've never been there, but had some gun dealings with some of the good guys in the northern part of the state. They claim that it is real beautiful country there. Maybe, just maybe, I might dare to venture in the northern part some time. If I do, I'll let you know somehow.
One question though, should I check my guns in Nevada before I cross the state line???

Point taken; indeed, I'm as fed up with the Californicators as any of the rest of you, and I live "with the enemy" as it were-- San Francisco area. Most people in this area seem to mold their views to what others think, despite the fact that the most vocal anti-gunners are but a small minority of the population. The northern part of the state aside from the bay area is definitely RKBA-friendly. Fortunately, the state capitol Sacramento is located in an RKBA area.
The whole state is beautiful; the coastline is excellent, the mountains are excellent, and nothing compares to Lake Tahoe. It is definitely a place worth visiting, and I wouldn't pick anywhere else to live. It's a great choice for a visit.
Don't bother checking your guns in Nevada before visiting CA; as long as you keep any "assault weapons" in the trunk of your car you'll be fine because there's an exemption for possession of assault weapons for out of state shooters attending a competition. Also take care not to have any loaded guns in public. As long as you don't break the speed limit, no one is going to stop you.
