The Texas Republicans seem to have crazy of a style that's extreme within the US. Didn't they have a plank about opposing the menace of Panama Canal based Chinese ballistic missiles ten years ago?

Trust me: Arizona gives Texas more than a run in the competition for crazy.

But then, Arizona was the CSA's last stand to take over the west, particularly California at the start of the waw. New Mexico got in-between Louisiana-Texas and that drive to California. Even today one could make a strong argument that AZ remains the strongest proponent of the number one CSA principle: secession (except for South Carolina, of course). It's also because of their gun craziness providing such a buy-and-sell market for Mexico gun dealer-gangs that parts of Mexico are such a wreck -- among other reasons too, of course, but this one contributes hugely.

Southern California was populated with southerners by 1860, btw, which contributes to the phenomenon that was Birth of A Nation and other Hollywood interpretations of history.

Love, C.

Yes, I've seen a fair bit of the Arizona crazy. Another site I am on has a crowd of Arizonans and most of them spew the craziest things, (including one that makes Limbaugh look well researched and another on the far side of Ron Paul).[1]

The irony they all miss is that they also often reveal how poor they all are, how shitty their housing is and how they can't get decent health care.
