Funny we haven't seen the same people giving us the "obey the laws or suffer the consequences" argument in defense of beheadings as we have for oppressive marijuana laws. Typical pick and choose to fit personal agendas.

They are probably liberal in their own eyes.

It's all a point of view.

Liberal states like California extracted taxes from people to give for illegal aliens for various uses. I'd call that kind of taking of money oppressive too. So I guess California could be considered very much the same, from that point of view.
