Oh, Obama was the Antichrist. Hillary will be the Whore of Babylon, then the next President will be the Beast. Then comes the Rapture. Or something like that. You know, if you’d only heard the names but you never really read the story. ---

The move represented “something we’ve never seen regarding Washington overreach in my lifetime.” [HERE](http://www.startribune.com/us-government-north-carolina-lgbt-law-violates-civil-rights/378159861/) Realy, Pat? Really? In your entire lifetime you haven’t seen the Federal government override a discriminatory North Carolina State Law. Think hard now. ---
