Where to?
Andrew Sullivan:
Our safety valve must be federalism. We have to live and let live. As blue states become more secular, and red states become less so, the only alternative to a national religious war is to allow different states to pursue different options. That goes for things like decriminalization of marijuana, abortion rights, stem cell research and marriage rights. Forcing California and Mississippi into one model is a recipe for disaster. Federalism is now more important than ever.
Joshua Micah Marshall:
Well, here we are. And this is the test for people who care about this kind of politics and these sorts of values -- making sure that what has been started is not allowed to falter.
Fan mail:
Why don't you all just move to France? ... Tax successful people who work in the name of fairness? It's all such bullshit and you are blind. There is no progressive agenda -- it is simply do what the hell you want with no personal accountability. You will pay in the next world.
