I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

With Hobby Lobby the Court personal religious belief is paramount over the law of the land. They decided that a company has a right to inflict it's religious beliefs on others who may not share those ideologies. They chose a family's religious concerns over the secular law. If that's not a violation of the establishment clause, I don't know what it. The court, the legislature the executive shouldn't be picking and choosing it's favorites when it comes to religion.
When you claim the media lies, you mean Fox News, right? Most media misinforms or puts a shiny happy screen over everything, it's only Fox News that outright lies.
And you completely miss what is going on in the hobby lobby case and what the constitution actually says. There is a Clinton Era law in place that is the core of this. If, IF you can explain it and why you think it doesn't apply, I will discuss this further. Otherwise I am pis sing into deliberately uninformed wind.
Actually, I get more researchable facts from fox than CNN or msnbc (and more from smaller outlets than either)
