Above Hussein Obama’s paygrade – Rick Warren to give invocation at Obama’s inauguration and the gays don’t like it

Another great choice by Hussein Obama. Rick Warren who you might remember hosted the The Saddleback Civil Forum on Presidency back in August where both Hussein Obama and McCain were asked questions by Warren. One of Obama’s classic responses to the question about abortion was: “That’s above my pay grade”. Well, Hussein Obama has selected Warren, the evangelical pastor and author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, a role that positions Mr. Warren to succeed Billy Graham as the nation’s pre-eminent minister. People for the American Way, one of the best known liberal advocacy groups in the nation’s capital, is letting it be known it’s not happy with this choice.

It is a grave disappointment to learn that pastor Rick Warren will give the invocation at the inauguration of Barack Obama.
Pastor Warren, while enjoying a reputation as a moderate based on his affable personality and his church’s engagement on issues like AIDS in Africa, has said that the real difference between James Dobson and himself is one of tone rather than substance. He has recently compared marriage by loving and committed same-sex couples to incest and pedophilia. He has repeated the Religious Right’s big lie that supporters of equality for gay Americans are out to silence pastors. He has called Christians who advance a social gospel Marxists. He is adamantly opposed to women having a legal right to choose an abortion.

Marxists? Hmmm. Hasn’t Hussein Obama been called a Marxist by some from the “Ring Wing Conspiracy”? BTW, Hussein Obama’s response today? “I’m inviting Warren in the spirit of diversity.” I guess Obama’s Diversity chickens are coming home to roost…

It seems the Gays aren’t too thrilled with the pick either:

“Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans,” the president of Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solomonese, wrote Obama Wednesday. “[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination.”…

“It’s a huge mistake,” said California gay rights activist Rick Jacobs, who chairs the state’s Courage Campaign. “He’s really the wrong person to lead the president into office.

“Can you imagine if he had a man of God doing the invocation who had deliberately said that Jews are not going to be saved and therefore should be excluded from what’s going on in America? People would be up in arms,” he said.

The editor of the Washington Blade, Kevin Naff, called the choice “Obama’s first big mistake.”

Obama’s first mistake? What about Rahm Emanuel? What about Eric Holder?

    This is the greatest move Obama could have made, calm down those immature white gay bigots who feel as though the American Public has to validate their dung dwelling. They are threat to America, with their feverish insistence on calling everyone who disagrees with them haters and bigots, when they are the haters and bigots. To be cruel enough to say they are a minority that should be protected, regardless of voters, children, 5000 years of definition of marriage. This is insane White privilede crying fowl that they can not control freak everyone to swallow their insanity. Now they say it was a small amount of voters that Passed Prop 8. So should this minority be thrown away for the gay minority that demands protection from the majority. This is a loose, loose for America. Gays need a serious slapping. They think because Obama has a carmel color they in their contempt can control him. If Obama do not set them straight now Americans will vote for the Republicans to. They would not say nothing to the Republicans. Just like they only demonized the Blacks who voted yes on Prop 8. However Prop 8 was a MAJORITY WHITE WIN. They racist contempt for Blacks is showing in their contempt for Obama, and Blacks. They are hypocrits, immature, and a sad darkness for American values. Gays of yesteryear had more class and more tolerance, and pride enough to keep their unacceptable behaviors in the closet.
    Americans should have no mercy for these people. Because mercy to them is an unlimited Agenda of Gay everything thrust down the throat and brains of children. They are like pediophiles, until they denouce the Man boy lovers drives, where grown men desire the right to violate boys. Americans should feel an outrage at all who support the NAMBLA. It is homosexuals right to rape and pediophile underage boys and indoctrinate them in homosexuality. THANK YOU PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA. TELL THE LEFT EXTREMIST TO VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICANS NEXT TIME AND SEE WHAT THEY GET.

    Marlene,

    Honestly, could your posting be any less effective? That has to be one of the poorest and least articulate postings I have read. Next time, please learn to make a cogent argument before embarrassing those who may otherwise agree with you – you make everyone on your side of the argument look like a complete moron. Better to stay quiet and have people assume you’re an idiot than to post on here and prove it.

    Totally with you on that one Justin! MORON
