Hi, Msakel. Can you post a link on some more of Warren's anti-feminist statements. I am aware of his anti-choice language and the gay issues, but have not seen much commentary beyond that (although I link choice and gay issues with feminism).

Thank you for a great commentry on "Embracing Uncl...

Thank you for a great commentry on "Embracing Uncle Good-but-homophobic". Reaching the aisle is slapping the proverbial face of human rights for both gays and women. I do not agree with Darren Hutchinson on one point, though, when he states that inviting a minister who "feels a woman's place is in the home" would provide friction for Obama. In fact, he did indeed invite such person: The good Rev. Warren! Warren feels that a woman's place is to be subjugated to the wishes of her husband and should obey her husband! I believe that Obama's insulting gesture to the gender that propelled him to his election 'win'--however slim it may have been and definitely not a landslide!--will eventually undermine the good will he's earned from both Women's and Gays' constituencies.

Barack's misogynist agenda is clear through his promotion of his sexist punkish Director (now) of speechwriting Jon Favreau! His homophobic agenda is also very clear. But I fail to see why some women and gays who voted for BHO now feel 'surprised' that he had pushed them under the Bus of Obama's political expediency. Why shouldnh't he? His typical white grandma, then Rev. Wright.

Remember Rev. Wright's words at the Press Club in the summer? Well, the good rev. was not wrong:

"Barack is just another typical politician. He'll say anything and do anything to get what he wants..."

Bush's regime was disastrous. There is no indication that Obama's sexist, homophobic 4-year-term will be anything other than Bush-lite. BHO is just an empty suit who's lost his moral compass. To find it, he'll have to resign and start writing novels and speeches for a living--to which both he's marvelously suited.

Hi, G. That's a pretty intense comparison.

Warren compares abortion to the Holocaust, so that would make women (among others) Hitler. But who cares, right?

Hi, Janine. Thanks for dropping by. My readers have seen my anger accelerate. I could almost have let it go, but then I played his interviews over and over again. Then I listened to the explanations and just could not believe what I was hearing. Anyway, I guess it's on to developing an agenda and seeing what we can get passed into law. I am not going to spin out of control on this, but we really need to offer commentary and let history record dissenting viewpoints.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For putting into...

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For putting into words why I am OUTRAGED with the Warren choice. I know what it's like to sit at the table with the "good uncle," except my good uncle usually spews forward about "the blacks (whispered)." If I speak up, everyone rolls their eyes, like, can't you just let it drop. While I would love to see social justice-focused evangelicals come under our tent, they do not belong until they stop discounting my humanity, anyone's humanity.
