Rick Warren - Take Back Barack

Catching up and thinking about tolerance
By Jeff Inglis

I've been catching up on the blogosphere and reading Andrew Sullivan's commentaries on Obama's choice of conservative evangelical pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation on Inauguration Day. Sullivan and others appear to have struggled mightily and come to terms with the selection, saying it appeared abominable at first but is perhaps a new and giant symbol of Obama's "post-partisan" politics.

Starting out well
By Jeff Inglis

So Rick Warren's been chosen to give the invocation at Obama's inauguration. Anybody else super-excited to see a rabidly pro-life, anti-choice, anti-gay evangelical cleric blessing Obama and the nation? Fine, so he cares about poverty and children in Africa. You don't have to turn over too many steeples to uncover exciting, progressive clergymen and -women who feel the same way about those issues, and who recognize that legislating things like pregnancy and partnership are never good.

11. Rick Warren

As if having a religious invocation at a political event isn't intellectually offensive enough, Obama chose this sweaty goateed homophobic pig to summon Christ's light upon the new administration. But for anyone put off by this dickhead's odd calling to “Sasha” and “Malia,” just wait until pictures surface of him sniffing meth off some hairy hustler's throbbing crucifix.
