The poll is at LP.org.
At Delaware Libertarian, Steve Newton writes:
Explaining why he would invite California Prop 8 advocate Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration, President-elect Barak Obama said, “We have to disagree without being disagreeable and then focus on those things that we hold in common as Americans.”
Which is why David Duke will be acting as an usher.
Marginalizing gays is relatively safe, politically speaking, since there’s not another election for a few years. Just pat them on the head and put them back in the box.
If Obama is pandering to the religious right, that’s not good.
If Obama genuinely believes that this is the way to bring us together, that’s worse.
Although only 79 votes have been cast in the poll as of this writing, so far a strong majority has voted “no” (they do not have a problem with the selection of Warren).
I think it’s time to go public with this, Trent. But it’s your call.
Massachusetts mischief and mayhem makers Kerry & Kennedy & democratic liberals own Obama. Progressive democrats think they do and actually got him the nomination & campaign $ but they are wrong thinking he is a progressive or will act progressive.
Dog whistles and attention whores? Kinky stuff, for sure.
Once again -omg – I agree with G.E.
Iv got bigger fish to fry, Sean Haugh is now saying he’s going to sue me for libel. =)
This is going to be fun.
you have another reason you just happened to decide to use “shuck and jive” at the same time you pretty much called Obama an Uncle Tom?
Dog-whistle politics and attention whoring are all I can come up with.
I sure get plenty of attention from you, big daddy.
what another dumb-ass poll .
im so not surprised
Mr. Hill, you know that G.E. did that just because he’s an attention-whore.
I only wish Obama WERE a “secret Muslim.” He’d probably be the best president since Coolidge if that were the case. After all, he’d probably throw off the Israeli yoke and stop bombing innocent Muslims abroad. But alas, he is not a “fake Muslim” but a deranged Messianic Christian, just like his predecessor.
If only he followed the teachings of Rev. Wright, he’d also make a better president. Don’t lump Wright in with serial philanderer-hypocrite Jackson or Clown Prince Sharpton — Wright is right on foreign policy and THAT is why the neocons (including those who control Obama) hate him.
Should not the secret Muslim Obama have picked a Muslim cleric for this honor.
Other choices could have been Jesse Jackson, Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton, etc.
He picked the biggest faker he could get. That is probably appropriate.
All the queers are to the Democrats, is an ATM. Punch the buttons and out comes the money. I’m sure we’ll see many professional homos aligned with the Dems praise Saint Barack’s decision to invite Warren. Battered spouse syndrome.
Yeah, John. but are you opposed to even non-statist government?
Yes, the Protestant Stalinist Party has been crushed utterly, through the glorious intervention of the Holy Spirit and the realization of its leaders that it deviated from the origins of both Christianity and communism. I am afraid it may return someday, but for now we are free of it.
Cattrot,
Were you ever able to deal forthrightly with that reactionary, Protestant Stalinist filth that had tried so recently to sabotage your efforts at leading peace-loving peoples everywhere?
Government should never be filled.
“Do you have a problem with Obama’s selection of Pastor Rick Warren for the inauguration?”
Yes, government should never be filled with religious nutjobs.
I agree with all of G.E.’s comments on this subject.
I am happy about Rick Warren giving the inauguration. I would rather have had the future pope, Father Michael Pfleger, or any Catholic priest, but his choosingg of the religious conservative Warren while implementing socialist policies, clearly shows that he is moving toward Catholic Trotskyism, like I always thought. And why should we care about gay marriage when half of them will just get divorced anyway?
That made your “jaw drop,” Trent? Come on.
Yeah, but Davis is wearing his “Not Adam and Steve” t-shirt while posting the blog. “Government does have a necessary role in society — preventing homosexual intercourse!”
I appreciate Andrew Davis wanting to drive traffic to LP.ORG, but c’mon. There should be more purpose to this poll than mere traffic.
How about seperation of church and state?
How about exposing the statism embraced by contemporary Christianity (or religion in general)?
How about exposing Obama as a compromiser because he has slapped the face of a large GLBT constituency by choosing Rick Warren?
I respect the choices people have made in terms of their religion/spirituality (if any at all), but please: keep it out of the government that will regulate OUR personal lives based upon YOUR personal beliefs.
GE has a right to be hostile. His people have been persecuted.
“because they might say something inconvenient to the White Establishment to which Obama shucks and jives.”
*jaw dropping*
Wow.
He couldn’t have Farrakhan or the great Jeremiah Wright because they might say something inconvenient to the White Establishment to which Obama shucks and jives.
You forgot Minister Farrakhan.
Oh goodness gracious me…
Do I have a problem with it it? Of course not. The bigger the clown, the better.
I have a problem with the presidency, period. What witch doctor he has do a rain dance for his anointing is irrelevant.
