Yeah you guys love it so much you want to.

Relegated industry whole out of existence.

Reward millions of illegals with citizenship, who will vote for furthest of the leftist candidates sending America further down the path of statism and tyranny.

Rammed a unpopular healthcare bill strictly on party lines, killing millions of plans, preventing countless jobs
And wreaking one sixth of the national economy.

Force kids to stay in failed schools to help teachers unions.

Pick winners and losers in business.

Send Machine guns and Anti Air Rocket Launchers to Syria into the hands of the most barbaric people all the while let guns walk into Mexico in the hands of the most barbaric henchmen of the cartel, mine while trying to ban semi auto rifles and defensive magazines from Americans.

Trying to pass a Cap and Trade bill they would do nothing be increase the cost of living.

Yeah..You guys really love America....So much you want to destroy everything about it

You love the comfort and convenience that capitalism has brought you, while bitching about capitalism.

And forbidding us to drain swamps on our land, because they feel it's a bad idea to displace a snail darter fish.

And allowing our underage daughters to get abortions without telling us, their own parents.

And tearing down our military monuments in various parks and hilltops.

And forcing us to pay for their own sexual adventures and abortions, again whether we like it or not.

"Supporting liberty" is what they are NOT doing. Instead, they are destroying it... with considerable glee.
East coast vs. Midwest vs. West coast liberals... a distinction without a difference.

Oops, there it is. That "I know more than you" arrogance which is the uber-liberal trademark.

It's a club of partisan hacks who parrot MSNBC because they believe every drink of koolaid they digest. They have a short list of blame and it's always FOX, Palin, Bachman, O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh.

You are a one (trick) message pony.

Most west coast liberals are just transplanted east coast liberals. They invaded and brought their insanity with them.

A west coast liberal is just an east coast liberal with a tan and wearing black socks.

This would be a good discussion today.

I am a Democrat but not a Liberal.
1) I believe in gun ownership, something still needs to be done to control all the mass shootings.
2) The gay movement has achieved its goal, there are still some things needed to be done. Tone down the gay pride parades, running around the street in fetish wear is offensive gay or not.
3) All immigrants need to be documented not let go because no one wants to deal with the red tape.
4) I believe in term limits to keep our government up with the times and prevent favoritism.
5) No Wall, that is just a bandaid on a broken immigration system.
6) A harsh revise of our medical care. I have been to too many funerals because of Opioid prescriptions.
7) Tax disclosure for any federal government position in the Executive, Legislative, Judicial branches of government.

We need to defrag our government to make it function more efficiently and meet modern times.

Having lived in all three regions, I generally agree with your assessment of the differences. There is certainly overlap, so nothing should be assumed about any particular individual, but I'd say you're on target with the predominant liberal culture of each region.
