Some words of hope from Christian Newswire:

This is a critically important day for Christians in America. If Christians don't show up to vote today, babies will continue to die in abortions, fewer children will grow up in married homes, many more will grow up with two daddies or two mommies, God will ultimately be purged from the public square. In short, America will soon look like godless Europe. It's that simple.

My polling place is a middle school caf. A really old middle school, that I think may have been an elementary, but is now a 2 year m.s. The dust on the biplanes and kites strung from the ceiling is older than I am. Probably the milk carton on the plane wing is too. It's kinda sad. Statement on the poor public schools in Baltimore, certainly. But hey, encouragement to vote for the school facilities bond, right?!

I love my DH. He drove to his sister's place of work and made her vote, then he drove to his brother's house and made him vote. He forced them to register a few years back. Eldest bossy sibling.

In short, America will soon look like godless Europe.

Cool - that will save me the trouble of moving to godless Europe.

God will ultimately be purged from the public square.

That euphemism pisses me off. Generally what this means for them is that they don't get to have a government-sponsored religion. Same as "God was kicked out of the classroom" - they're mad that teachers don't get to lead kids in prayer anymore.

My polling place is in an elementary school cafeteria, and this morning a mom was oohing and aahing to her kid about how nice it was -- the kid apparently goes to the school, but couldn't have been older than 1st grade. Super cute.

I is all voted and junk.

God will ultimately be purged from the public square.

Pretty whimpy God to go and let that happen...

Pretty whimpy God to go and let that happen...

Yeah. And like God doesn't have the power to go into schools if teachers are not leading their classes in prayer.

As long as there is math, there will be praying in school.
