Its been awhile since the elections wound down. Enough time for the future commander in chief to grow himself a pair:
So SE++, what have you done in the month since this man was elected?
Maybe you're Trying to hide your personal finances from the federal government:
Maybe you're carving out your niche in the State Department:
Maybe you're still steamed over Prop 8:
Or maybe you're just yearning for another thread of HuffPo links.
So what say you, good denizens of the intarwebs?

Putin is winning.
I'm worried, but I am very optimistic that half of Obama's stuff will not get off the ground.
This is how all international diplomacy should be settled.

Nothing.
There was some guy in the last politics thread that was basically saying America is a nigh-on theocratic nation and it made me want to barf.
People elect assholes who "religious qualifications..." =/

I'm just sayin', the general level of seperation between church and state in America has remained pretty consistent over the last two hundred years.
I dunno.
The whole argument for Prop 8 being under religious values seems kinda a step up.

the government is giving lip service to religion, same as it's ever been
Well, the problem with this argument is that prop 8 was democratically passed. It was voted on by religious people. Thusly, the decision was more of a manifestation of the conservative tendencies of the American populace then of us having a government that passes theological laws.
If, say, it was merely a bill introduced and passed by congress or somesuch, then I would take issue with it breaking that church/state boundary.
It doesn't matter how the fuck a law is passed; if it violates a constitutional tenet, it's unconstitutional.
Democracy is more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
Waiting.
Waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
Even if it is still voted on by the people, doesn't that still break that boundary once it hits law?

I was under the impression that prop eight didn't violate any constitutional tenets because, in legal terms, it's not represented as a religious law. Even though we all know it is.
It has nothing to do with the religious beliefs of the populace influencing elections.

YEAH? WELL WHAT KIND OF POWER DOES THAT 'ATTORNEY GENERAL' HAVE WHEN HE IS UP AGAINST MY GOD? HUH?
