I don't think this has anything to do with Obama... i didn't mean to imply that. i could have just have easily said "since the beginning of the financial crisis". some of the Judges/Justices were Bush appointees, some were Clinton appointees, I think one was even a Carter appointee. ETA: yes, some of the Judges/Justices were Obama appointees too. Didn't want to leave that out. you missed my point. like, i remember when interest rates were over 20%. that happened under Carter and Reagan. i remember when the top tier tax rate was over 50%. that last happened under Reagan. i remember when the last major bull market was. that happened under Reagan and Clinton. i remember when the first major pullback from that rally was: it was under Bush. the second one happened under Bush and Obama. i am not blaming any of the presidents for ANY of that. it is just a convenient way to talk about time periods.

Ah... Gotcha.
In that case why not say "in the 2010's"... or "in this decade" instead?

Ah... Gotcha. In that case why not say "in the 2010's"... or "in this decade" instead? because i looked at the chart in post 1 and noted that the number of states that had legal gay unions DOUBLED in 2009. that seemed like a good year to start. sometimes shorthand gets the best of me. but also, like i said, i tend to block things out by president. i am really lousy with YEARS. but i remember "situations" fairly well. again, i am not "blaming" Obama for this. he was elected under a one-man-one woman platform. he had ZIP to do with what happened until he failed to defend DOMA.

We are not ruled by our fellow citizens, we are ruled by those dressed in black robes. A time to rejoice indeed!

Billy Graham: In Our ‘Lawless and Wicked Age … We've Taught the Philosophy of the Devil -- ‘Do As You Please’
World renowned evangelist Rev. Billy Graham, the founder and chairman of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said that our children are growing up in a “lawless and wicked age,” infused with the “philosophy of the Devil, who says, ‘Do as you please.’”
Further, rearing children in this culture is difficult because “we have taken God out of our educational systems and thought we could get away with it,” said Rev. Graham. “We have sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind. We have laughed at God, religion and the Bible.”

That's all nice for Billy, but we don't live in a theocracy.

God never left the schools. Anyone can pray in school, silently and to themselves. No special time need be set aside nor group dog and pony show is necessary.
