I have to disagree, Anonimuss (notice I don’t deliberately mangle your name).

There are many points of disagreement between progressives and Obama – who leans entirely too far to the Right for many of us. I don’t think it’s a choice of hamburger or hot dog. The issues are far more complex than that – and to what extent might Obama be toying with the Religious Right? Hard to say.

I think Obama was dead-wrong to support or accept support from the extremist Christians. I opposed it then, and told him so (who knows what he reads and doesn’t but I did tell him) and I oppose it now. I give him only a “B” grade because of his association with the hate mongers.

Hruffankle,
I would not jump, but the Oba-maniacs would; most of which support gay marriage. This presents them with quite a dilemna on par with a Vegan having to choose between a hamburger or hotdog.

So, you think Obama is wrong on this issue? I thought he was the smartest president we ever had.

And the thing is, in the early part of this decade, Obama once came out very strongly IN FAVOR OF gay marriage. There’s video on YouTube of him saying so, very openly and clearly. I’ll have to chase that video down and post it on my blog.

I’ve also noticed that Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, has also not come out against the Uganda “let’s kill the gays” legislation, which he has known about for about 2 months now….BUT when the Diocese of Los Angeles elected a lesbian bishop (she has yet to receive the consents to finalize the deal but it’s likely she’ll get them), he responded within 24 HOURS!!

So apparently who a woman sleeps with or does not sleep with is FAR more important than, well, the equivalent of genocide. Sanctioned by a country’s law, at least potentially speaking at this point.

Ye Gods.

A bit of an update from Reuters: “U.S. Christian leaders slam Uganda’s anti-homosexuality act”

A diverse group of U.S. Christian leaders — who don’t always see eye to eye on same-sex lifestyle issues — have spoken out against a law under consideration in Uganda that could make homosexual behavior punishable by death. . . .

“Our Christian faith recognizes violence, harassment and unjust treatment of any human being as a betrayal of Jesus’ commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves. As followers of the teachings of Christ, we must express profound dismay at a bill currently before the Parliament in Uganda. The ‘Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2009′ would enforce lifetime prison sentences and in some cases the death penalty for homosexual behavior, as well as punish citizens for not reporting their gay and lesbian neighbors to the authorities,” it says in part.

I'd ask you, "If Obama endorsed jumping off very high cliffs, would you jump?"

Seriously, what kind of logic is that?

What if I oppose gay marriage simply because Obama does? Any problem with that?

Apuleius, he really has. And I hate walking into my local Borders and seeing prominent display of that book. Unfortunately, despite claims to the contrary, the media isn't particularly liberal or left-of-center, but more generally right, and they don't report these sorts of things.

Warren really pulled the wool over a lot of people's eyes with his "purpose driven" bilge. What he is saying now needs to be as widely publicized as possible — maybe some people will be able to learn something from this.
