Let me be perfectly clear. Christianity may be my personal life's meaning. It informs my church activities explicitly, my online interactions less so, and is mostly implicit in business activities. That is, I don't run around evangelizing on the job, for all my work activities are not in opposition to my faith.
Government is a wholly secular affair. Despite the occasional "In God We Trust" flourish, I'm quick to point out that "Christian nation" is an oxymoron. Christianity is not carried out at the national level, and the Carpenter didn't lay it down for the United States as such.

It's not abundantly clear that normalizing Cuban relations hurts Rubio significantly.

Oh, and before someone thinks they're clever by telling me that President Perry or whoever would just go back to the status quo faster than you can say "fuck you liberals!", good luck with that. The GOP only cared that it reliably delivered Florida's electoral votes, and it stopped doing that a good couple of cycles ago. It's dead, Jim.

#OccupyResoluteDesk seems concerned with squeezing all of the toothpaste out of the barn as he fades. There is a substantial chance that the country can be browbeaten sufficiently to make way for Her Majesty. There is also risk of those that still cling bitterly to pre-nanny state notions may succeed in forcing a Convention of States.
