And now to others, some of whom may actually understand, but don't like what they see in Rick Warren:

The gay and activist overreaction to the Warren choice, when Warren's position on marriage is mainstream, he has gay friends, and he is willing to do the invocation for Obama, whom he invited to speak at his church, even though he obviously disagrees with Obama on the abortion issue, is extreme and silly and disgraceful in and of itself, but the end of the following story may reveal more about the nature of the reaction to this, as a proxy for reaction to other choices Obama has made, as people on here like Chris WWW or Green Dreams would be the first to be able and willing to explain.

Thanks for pointing them out. It's not accidental, BTW, that Rick Warren has sometimes been dubbed "America's pastor." This man has a caring heart. “Hollywood Farm Girl's” piece was a good read, as was Sullivan's. Thanks for pointing them out.
