Rick Warren vs. The GLBT Marching Band

[thoreau]

I'm sure the neoconservative blogosphere is full of as many posts about Obama letting a gay marching band in the inaugaral parade as our blogosphere is full of "wtf rick warren" posts. Warren gets his 30 seconds; the LGBT Marching Band parties all way down Pennsylvania Avenue. Lets not be too hasty in cyer-bitchslapping Obama. I'd say his people are playing both sides of the blogosphere for maximum impact.

Frankly, I couldn't agree more. While at first I was taken aback, in looking at who Obama is, he is inclusive and is trying to reach out to all. We have to understand that he is leading by example and including both sides, whether we like it or not. While Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell wouldn't listen to anyone, Rick Warren does listen..he's one of the few on the right-wing side that does use his brain.

Yea, but the Right Wingnuts all sound like the adults in Peanuts "Wah wah wa WAH wa whaaa?"

When they live their lives by everything the Bible says, no exceptions, THEN I'll listen to them seriously.
