POPSObama picks Rick Warren for his inaugural invocation? Huh?
I was as frustrated as this article's author when I heard Rick Warren, conservative evangelical fundamentalist Christian megachurch pastor, anti-evolution and vacuous circular logic-espousing book author, had been picked to be part of the Obama inauguration. WTF, Obama? This guy and his congregation are exactly the kind of homophobic, hypocritical and fascist people that McCain/Palin were chasing after and who fervently stoke fires of fear and imaginary persecution to achieve power so that they may legislate their morality upon everyone. I praise Obama's quest for inclusive politics but Warren and pals are enemies of change and proponents of exclusion. They and their neo-con counterparts in D.C. achieve only destruction, death and division while waving a false banner of universal love. FAIL. Dump Warren. Dump this inclusion of religion and prayer at this historic inauguration. Dump the evangelism-fueled hatred, bigotry and triumphalism Warren and his cohorts represent. Let's move forwa

POPSMcShallow's Choice The PUMAs don't seem numerous enough to be worth courting and I really doubt anyone will jump ship from the Obama camp. Is voting for McSame/Palin supposed to be some mavericky pro-equality opportunity for GOP gals? This smacks of desperation. Is she safer than choosing more experienced, more Hillary-esque female politicians who actually have experience but are too disturbing to sexist conservatives and family values crowd? Was she chosen over better female Repubs merely because she's eye candy like all the blondes on FOX News? Sure looks that way and this could very well be an ironic step backward for women in politics.
