Yes, you are correct. I should have phrased it "one of the most conservative large metropolitan cities." I know it doesn't compare with the redneck lifestyle and brand of conservatism over in Podunk, Iowa. We don't do lynchin's or marry our first cousins.

I was simply pointing out that San Diego is the only large city in California that boasts a conservative majority, and is reflected in our voting patterns. That is what I meant about a "sea of liberalism."

In no way did I infer or intimate that there aren't many brave, patriotic liberals. My HS assignor is a big liberal, yet was a very courageous, brave Boswain's Mate in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He is also one of my dear friends, who gave me my now-infamous nickname. And I wasn't always a conservative. In fact, I voted for Mondale/Ferraro in 1984. That was the last time I voted Democrat for any office higher than Dog Catcher.
