If I had the deal with the level of leftist insanity that comes out of Seattle, I'd want out too.

Basically the rural parts of every liberal State wants to join a nearby conservative State or become their own State. Eastern Washington, northern California and southern Oregon, parts of Colorado, upstate New York, non Chicago illinois, and now parts of Virginia wants out. Am I forgetting anyone?

Precisely. Our electoral college system at work, ladies and gentlemen.

It's like redistricting. After every election, we're going to have to redraw every state border.
While I appreciate the Vexit sentiment, I think overall it's damaging.

And on a side note, I HATE this stupid (& lazy) habit we have of taking any type of slogan or buzzword, and re-applying it to everything thereafter. Brexit, Watergate, etc etc etc etc etc.... We have a complete inability to talk normal in our media culture.

And to think that we’ve been doing it for almost 50 years!

Western Maryland also wants to breakaway from the eastern part of the state, some parts of Vermont want to join New Hampshire, and liberal El Paso actually wants to join New Mexico.

I don't ask that question lightly at all. But over the last few years, here's the evidence we do have:
  • He's abdicated any and all spiritual responsibility for the school.
  • He's been publicly mean-spirited towards people who disagree with him.
  • He has stated faith should have no impact on business.
  • He's told people to keep their faith to themselves and not let it impact their public life.
  • His emails have included name calling and insulting remarks towards people.
We're told we'd know followers of Jesus by the fruit of their actions. The only fruit we've seen the past few years has been rotten. My question is do we have any evidence of the contrary? I'm not asking for him to preach a sermon or to be perfect or anything like that. By all evidence I can see or have seen, the only time he claims Christ in recent years is when it's a personal or financial gain for himself.

So my question remains: do we have evidence that he's currently living a Christian life?
There aren't many Christians on this Earth if that's the kind of standard you are holding them all too. Not that I disagree with it, just saying.
