And the congressional Republicans seem as mesmerized as the drones who voted for the man.
If elections have consequences (and they do), then the vote of the people of California on Prop 8 should be every bit as much of a settled mandate as was the last presidential election. If that is the case, why does Barack Obama feel confident running the U.S. government as if he is Benito Mussolini while Carrie Prejean is about to be stripped of her Miss California crown for daring to defend traditional marriage? Could it be that liberals believe they have a mandate for tyranny?
