Will include an invocation from the Reverend Rick Warren? Of the Saddleback mega-church and author of THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE? The anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-evolution Reverend Warren? At Obama's inauguration? Say it ain't so.
I know this missive comes late to the topical news scene, whatever "legs" the story had have already given out. But the more you think about it, the more wrong it feels. Even as a purely political decision it makes little sense, unless we can believe it will result in Obama garnering even a statistical handful of social conservatives. Meanwhile, Obama supporters - including this progressive secular humanist - are agape at prospect of Rev. Warren spouting his "mainstream" brand of pseudo-science and bigotry. Perhaps the Rush Limbaugh should be invited to sing "Barack-the-magic-negro" to warm things up? Shouldn't Barack reach out to listeners of right-wing radio too?
At least January 20th will be "The end of an error," and Obama can begin to govern us back from the abyss - I hope.
