Inaugural Dissonance
So, let me get this straight: Obama has chosen individuals who were instrumental in the achievements of the civil rights movement to participate in his Inaugural ceremony as well as the virulently anti-gay minister Rick Warren - a man who mobilized his flock to vote 'yes' on Prop 8 and deny equal rights for LGBT. What am I missing here?
Aretha Franklin and Dr. Rick Warren, an evangelical minister of the Saddleback Church, are among the select group of people who will participate in Barack Obama’s inaugural swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20...
In honoring the civil rights movement, Mr. Obama has asked the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery, dean of the civil rights movement and co-founder with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, to deliver the benediction.

Hey G you’ll have much better luck over at the National Review online where people have difficulty reading like you…..
Hope. Maybe Rev. Warren will be moved by the sight of millions on Jan. 20 espousing love & inclusiveness. Maybe it will become harder for him to be so much a narrow fundamentalist. Maybe it will make it harder to be hard on Obama. Hope.
I truly couple my hope with yours….no clarification necessary, my friend.
Peace…
and love as(is) the “weight of the world”..
